Kennesaw State is in Cobb County, enrollment 30k

Alexandra Son (right) and Anna Brown (left), both 18-year-old first-time voters from Kennesaw State University, turned out to the polls driven by personal stakes in this election. 

Son, concerned for the future of women’s rights, spoke passionately about wanting a safer and more united America. 

“I have gone through things that in the Supreme Court they overturned, so it was more of a thing of, like, the safety of me, my little sisters, my future daughters,” she said, citing her immigrant family and the importance of humane policies in her voting decisions. 

Reflecting on past elections, Son recalled feeling powerless as a fifth-grader watching the 2016 election unfold.

“I was sitting on the couch, and my parents were, like, screaming… I was like, damn, I wish I was 18 and I could actually vote and do something about it… This election is nerve-wracking, but it’s special because we could have our first woman president and have someone speak for us.”

Brown, also feeling the weight of this election, explained that for her and many in her generation, it’s about preserving women’s rights she’s always known to have. 

Studying environmental science, Brown is particularly concerned about climate change and sees it as an urgent priority. 

“It’s something that needs more attention, and the fact Harris even talks about it means a lot,” she said, expressing hope for leadership that takes climate issues seriously.

Don't know if I buy Osceola County as more blue than Orange, even early in the day.

 

 

Florida will be achieving it's new status as a GOP vote sink from all the midwestern Republicans who moved there during COVID, effectively making the blue wall the bluer wall.

"Sure the Republicans say fascist things and promise to enact fascist policies, but the Democrats call them fascists and so I'm just tired of both sides being so unreasonable."

I mean this is where we are, trump in 2020 and 2016 were kinda just shitty guy does shitty things, this time he's straight up gone full on fascist and batshit. It's not even remotely close to his previous campaigns and rhetoric.

In the last 4 years, he's done nothing to win them back. In fact, he's probably lost *more* of them, as evidenced by the strength Haley had even after she dropped out of the primary. His take was that Trump was going to lose because of these voters and that it might not be close - and any marginal gains with black/hispanic voters wouldn't be enough to offset it.

I'm Ken Block??

Betting odds on most sites are 58-60% for Trump today….  Next election maybe we get back to semi normal middle candidates on both sides. Nah it will be a Ted Cruz and fit lump ticket lol. 

Fitlump is extremely sane compared to Cruz.

Yeah, anyone both sidesing things at this point either isn't paying attention, or is not acting in good faith.

Republicans are losing the E-day vote. It is over for them, Arizona will be blue. It's just a matter of figuring out how much of a majority the Democratic party will have in the state leg and whether Eli Crane loses.

You mean the same folks who took selfies of themselves committing an insurrection on their personal phones? I’m not thinking they’re smart enough to buy a burner.

They’ll buy the burners and then post pictures of themselves on social media.

MSNBC was just at a polling place by Temple University in Philly.  A line around the block that's about an hour and a half.  There were only 10 voting machines.

If the utes at Temple are waiting an hour and a half, this is in the bag.

Ralston says Clark turnout is super high and do not include any mail dropped off today

Waiting for official word, but sounds like another mail drop in PA - D-R 422k and D-R with 70-30 indies now in the 520s

Per the AJC and their live blog, 1.1 to 1.2 million expected today, but difficult to say because evening after work voting may push this well higher.  Despite the bomb threats, things are operating smoothly.  

If this bears out, the magic number in Georgia will likely by somewhere between 2.7 million and 2.9 million.

Well the projected firewall for dems to feel "good" was 500k, if you allocate only the early voting indies 70-30 to the Dems.

It is now 20k+ over the firewall.  Plus amazing turnout today in Philly and Pittsburgh.

Good turnover in Democratic areas in Atlanta metro, right?

You don’t think the indie breakdown would be closer to something like 60-40?

He's such an unaware dumbfuck.  Kemp is the standard bearer for the Republican Party in about 6 weeks, why the hell would he help him.  

Kemp and Hailey are going to be heavily attacked by Trump in the coming days, and they are both going to be in the best position coming out of this.  This is who Mitch is going to want the GOP to coalesce around in the coming months.
