(#5015) Are you on these early vote tracker lists? I am!

      There are 2 vote tracker websites that I am following. One is https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-elections/early-vote by broadcasting firm NBC, and the other is https://rpubs.com/ElectProject/early_vote_2022 by a private firm RPubs. They both seem to be tracking about the same numbers so which one you follow or both as I do keeps you informed about the numbers of early voters getting counted as voted. I find this useful in determining the enthusiasm of our electorate all over the country. As of this morning about 11 and a half million Americans have either voted early in person or had their mail in ballots delivered to their states county election offices.
     Now a word about when the ballots are actually counted. They are not tabulated until closing of the election day vote in the state you reside so no actual votes are being tabulated. But know this, they are in a queue after having been verified waiting to be processed as soon as the official closing of the polls is reached on November 8th. How they are counted as received is allowed before the actual election, such as early in person or mail and even in many different or all cases the party of the citizen, race and geography may be and are revealed. So we do get early information about whom is getting their vote turned in early and where which helps to understand trends and enthusiasm.
     So I am one of the 11 and a half or so million who has already had their ballot collected by the elections offices. Are you? Because the sooner we get our ballots back the more our political party can narrowly focus on efficiently and effectively accomplishing turnout in the final closing days. Which is why it is critical for early voters to get their vote in and not procrastinate the doing of it. Every vote is critical and the most effective way for our democratic party to win this midterm election is for us all to get our vote in as early as possible. I bring all this up because of the urgency and necessity of saving our democracy. Nothing in existence is more important than that, so go vote today and make our democratic party victorious on November 8th.
