64 days until the election (#4230)

      18 days until Minnesota, and South Dakota start their early voting. 19 days until Michigan, New Jersey, Vermont, Virginia, and Wyoming begin their early voting, https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/. It is amazing how close we are getting given the significance of this election and how long we have endured to get to it. I know that trump has been controlling the narrative of obstructing mail in voting and crowding polling places with his right wing disruptors. Yet with all his bloviating we, who are not of his ilk, will not be deterred. It won't matter how difficult he makes it for us to cast a ballot we will find a way around him so that we can dismiss him from our politics.
     18 days until the first ballots are filled out. I am just so excited even though I am in California, I am happy for those who get to go sooner. We here in Cali get our ballots starting in 35 days which is just 5 short weeks. Although with trump and his constant self created turmoil it seems like our weeks are a lot longer than short. Yet because of logic and science we know that time is relative and consistent regardless of people like trump. So shortly we will begin our march to change the lack of leadership in our federal government with proven caring leadership with Joe Biden. This whole time before the election is like a sweet event for me even though many are rightly worried about how we get there to the voting and counting time.
     I know trumps are messing with everything but I am confident that our electorate will not let him take our vote no matter his determination to do that very thing. According to a Gallup poll in July-August 2020, there were 31% democrats, 26% republicans, and 41% independents, https://news.gallup.com/poll/15370/party-affiliation.aspx of the more than 153,000,000 registered voters in the US as of 2018, https://news.gallup.com/poll/15370/party-affiliation.aspx. 46.9% of registered voters did not turn out and vote in 2016. Yet in 2020, the percentage of non voters is expected to be far less than 46.9%. Early indications from the past few years instead suggest that there will be a tremendous turnout to vote even given the trump obstruction of voting for democrats in particular. It should be an historic election and we are very much looking for it to come around on the calendar.
