I also had some info from Detroit and from Miami-Dade a while ago and many castigated me. Actually it is good to have report like yours. This will help to improve turnout of our voters. Proof is the pudding. It is no coincidence Obama and Biden are going to Detroit. Same with Kamala going to Miami this Saturday. I have written to Biden campaign about Detroit and Miami issue a lot. Hope it played 1% part in their push. Believe me Detroit was a lot lower than 48%. I am glad it would be 50%. It is also very depressing absentee ballots are pending in Detroit and Miami. Hope they can work hard over the next 2 days. I think it will improve.

Detroit should be more enthused about Biden than Obama. Biden is coming at a time of racial injustice. If the way Michigan governor was castigated does not help turning out more Democrats, nothing can.

Vote, vote, vote.
