A tiny bit of good news from Maine's 2nd District

Background - Maine is one of two states that apportions Electoral College delegates. It is entirely possible that Maine could vote majority for Clinton - but lose the 2nd District to the Orange Thing (one electoral vote out of Maine's 4 total).

It's a close race - I live in the 2nd D and there are a lot of Trump signs and No on Three signs (no to universal gun background checks - a ballot question).

Every time I pass a Trump/No on 3 house, I wonder - do both spouses feel the same about this?

This morning I had to do an errand for my (temporarily truckless) republican brother.

He is TP all the way and his wife and son also vote the Dark Side.

He told me he, his wife and son all voted early.

And his wife and son voted for Hillary!

I was truly shocked.

Maybe there is hope in the 2nd D...
