It's Election Day! Check in Georgia DUers! 🗳🍑🇺🇸 GOTV!

How are y’all doing? If you’re voting in person today, please let us know what kind of turnout you see. Is anyone volunteering or canvassing today?

I early voted on the first day of early voting!

I’ve been out on the doors canvassing in my county.
I’m going back out on the doors this afternoon.
I feel energized and excited that we will be electing our awesome Democratic candidates up & down the ballot.

Every, single vote matters. GOTV! 🗳🍑🇺🇸

Eastern TN is gorgeous with the mountains. I used to live in Asheville & miss the mountains every day.

Contemplating a drive past polling places today...

He liked then Mayor Pete in the last presidential primary!

Secretary Pete really appeals to the Gen Z kids because he’s nerdy-cool, super smart, and multi-talented.

Rural firehouse in the north Georgia mountains. Very smooth and efficient; no lines, but there were eight or ten other voters there. Counting my niece and her husband, that's at least four Democratic votes in this precinct!

The only problem is this is a very red county. I'm hoping students from our liberal college are voting here and that women are expressing their opinion of Roe v. Wade.

I hope that the college students will be able to vote.
I’ve run into several here who haven’t turned in their absentee ballots and/or voted yet and they’re registered in their hometown.

I told them to return the ballot directly to the Board of Elections office in their home county on Monday or today. There are no more drop boxes.

Alternatively, they can get in line to vote if they have the time to drive home & stand in line.

🤞 🗳🍑🇺🇸

Worked as an assistant manager in a Gwinnett precinct. Hard time sleeping previous night, so woke at about 03:00, expecting a 04:00 series of alarms. Had to arrive at precinct at 05:00 for equipment setup. Polls open from 07:00 to 19:00, about 600 voters in person. Total turnout at my work precinct was 38%, home precinct was 52%.

For the first time, I helped returned the election supplies to HQ, which was a long process but it ran fairly effortlessly. Got home at 00:00 Wednesday, finally decompressed enough to go to be at 01:00.
