We vote, we win. Isn't that conventional wisdom? Well....

One Week Before Election Day, Early Voting Is Nearly Twice as High as 2012




NBC News

Heavy turnout typically favors democrats. But let the polls motivate you to insist on casting your ballot. The race is tight and we need Secretary Clinton as much as she needs us. Early voting is the most convenient way to do that, saving you time and making sure you're not disenfranchised on election day.

Best video out there of what it feels like to win an election.

Let's win this thing going away. Every vote. Every state. GOTV!!

there's no enthusiasm for this election. Even more people feel strongly enough for (or against) a candidate to cast their ballots early. I only wish turnout could be this high in off-year elections too.
