Nov 2018

The energy on the ground is unlike anything I've seen before. Even Obama in 2008 doesn't compare.

The polling place near my apartment was slammed all through early voting.

I've seen so many new voters register, all Beto supporters.

And my republican parents are flipping to Beto.

I'm still being cautious, and know this is all anecdotal, but I think he's going to win.
