deeply ingrained in their red beliefs & though I've tried to explain some logic to them, they're hopeless.

and I am optimistic, even tho I'm surrounded by a ridiculous amount of trump signs in my neighborhood. I'm hoping the blue areas of Ohio have expanded since '16.

My county has gone bluer, that's for sure. Whether it's enough to overcome all those rural counties, we will have to wait to see.

We’re so close.... I’m just appalled there are so many dumbasses here in Ohio voting for that disgusting hump. What the hell is wrong with people.

The better Biden does, the better our down ballot races will do.

Right now, Biden is in a toss up, Greenfield is slightly ahead of Ernst, and we’ll retain the 3 Democratic House seats. Of course, Steve King’s district will remain deeply red with Feenstra.

I'll be dancing in the street!

And it'll only be the 3rd time this century that Ohio didn't go with the winner, and that's just fine with me:

more important for Biden voters to get their votes in than vice versa. We don't need much more at this point.

14. The 538 projection for Ohio looks like a helix.

It shows momentum for Biden and then it flips to trump. Then vice versa.

I have high hopes for our down ballot. We need serious change down here.

we're unfortunately familiar with feeling like we're in the belly of the beast, and dining on ashes the day after Election Day. We try our damnedest but have learned not to be overly optimistic.

If Georgia goes Blue this year, you better believe there will be hooting and hollering loud enough you'll hear it all the way to Ohio!
