Early voting

I live in the most Italian town in the country-very Catholic and very Republican. 70% voted for 45 in 2020. Local Democrats don’t even run for office because they would surely lose.

Our daughter went for coffee this morning. She made a joke that there was a Trump rally in the park, where our recreation offices reside and where the entire town votes. Early voting started today. The line was from the building to the street and down the avenue.

I lost friends in 2020 arguing that mail in voting (only method due to Covid) was safe. Well, I guess they feel early voting is ok, because these early voters are absolutely Republican. So, when you see on television that the Republicans have an edge in early voting, believe it. I know that my state will go blue, but it is concerning.

And from local Facebook posts, I noticed that the cultists in my area are more brainwashed and vicious than they were in 2016.

VOTE BLUE!!!

Actually, Harris has a sizeable advantage in early voting in the swing States that she needs to get to 270.
