1. It is important for a high percentage of Democratic voters in red counties to turn out.

I lived in one of those deep red counties in Pennsylvania for eight years, Butler as a matter of fact, and I know from friends who live there that the Democratic party effort in that county is going full steam ahead. My former next door neighbor actually knocks on every door in the small, rural community where she lives to help turn out the vote, and that's about 350 doors. This year, she has a couple of additional volunteers and a couple of older folks making phone calls. They've done a voter registration drive to get as many people registered as Democrats as they could, they netted 15, which is good in a precinct with 250 voters. They had 170 people vote in 2020, 67 for Biden which is higher than the county average. She thinks they're going to get at least 100 for Harris this year.

If that happened in every precinct in the state, Harris would win a landslide.
