According to the Courier Newsroom, in Wisconsin the youth vote is at 360% compared to 2018, the Black vote is at 123% compared to 2018, and the woman vote is at 137% compared to 2018.
I am loving it.
@carmen - the sad thing is that I’m still worried it’s not going to be enough to save us. The deck is stacked against us so badly.
@Tagsit I hear ya. Even if it doesn't work out and we lose the House, we must keep on fighting.
@carmen Did Wisconsin have mail in or early voting in same way in 2018? We can't compare in NJ because there was barely any mai lin and no early voting back then. We can only compare to 2020, which is a tough comparison
@carmen
ohplease-ohplease-OHPLEEEEEEAAASE let that be what it suggests! My location is registering a lot of newer/young voters, and while I'd say the volume isn't what we'd see for a Presidential election, its making me itch to look back at 2018s total turnout for there (redistricting means ward numbers no longer directly comparable).
@carmen This is encouraging! I love it that people are turning out, and I always do.
Too many others in other countries risk their lives to try and vote, and I'll never forget the purple inked fingers of women in the Middle East who did.
Too many take it for granted - lives lost to get us that right.
