May the good people show up and prove that peace and understanding is the future not tyranny.

I can tell you this - my good friend works at a voting center in downtown Dallas at the Dallas County Elections Department. According to him, they are getting called CONSTANTLY about how to vote, how soon they can vote, what do they need, etc. According to him, the calls are coming in continually.

We all must vote in EVERY election. Not voting is why we are in the position we are in.

[Andysaid]

History is in the making. This will define the USA and Americans themselves. This is literally the Era of "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me". Just vote... seriously.

The Mid Terms could be a major Turning Point.
Forces are trying to take the Vote Away from whole Groups of People.
For many, missing the Vote could spell losing the right to vote for their Lifetimes.
For Young People voting in this Election may determine the prosperity of a lifetime. They must Decide.

I already sent my mail in ballot (l am disabled). While I live in a blue state I didn't take it for granted that it would stay that way.

Love to see more people voting in the US

[martianmartian]

Herschel Walker only down by 3-4 percentage points??? Man, Georgia really is F’d up.
Should really be down by double digits

[NeuroRift]

Love to hear it. Let's hope more good news and more justice keeps coming our way.

[howardkerr]

Whichever party you are affiliated with, folks who voted early, we all applaud your courage in the face of voter suppression laws. Thank you for doing your patriotic duty.

can't remember the last time a republicon did anything for anybody ! full stop

[JasonBoyce]

High turnout and early voting tends to favor Democrats, so fingers crossed! But we need to keep that high turnout going the whole time!

I have a hard time picturing anyone being energized to vote early for Hershel Walker.

[corit]

Leave NO DOUBT! Don’t give them any excuse to whine about imaginary fraud again! Let’s go Blue!

[vanessajazp]

This is what I've been trying to tell people. They're relying on old poll formulas and not taking into account the wave of enthusiasm among people who are either voting for Democrats, or against the GOP.

[eboyd]

This would be so calming for my spirit. Please let Stacey pull through!

[nalleyman]

just mailed in my ballot in AZ. eff Kari Lake.

[lyni]

Sounds like good news! Get out the democracy vote Georgia!! 💙💙💙

[nothingmatters]

No matter what side, I think can all agreed that more people should vote. If you refuse to make a decision then a decision will be made for you.
