I just participated in the AP-NORC Friday night poll. Here's how they did it.

Got a big Postcard addressed to Indiana Voter at our address.
So either one of us could have used it to participate.
I did because my wife doesn't go into the tall grass for politics or the internet.
The card had a scratch off pin #. Then logged onto a website using the pin.

They asked questions about issues and candidates for office. There is no Senate election here, so it was just Governor and President choices. They asked a few questions about participation in 2018 and 2016. And candidate preference in 2016.
Some questions were about how important certain issues were and how they being handled and who would handle them best starting next year.

I'm guessing this is one polls that comes out Sunday/Monday ?
Looks like NORC is at the University of Chicago. I'm not sure what that stands for.

Anyway, so it is not necessarily a phone call that you get to participate. It's a post card. Check your mailbox.
On edit: There was also an option to call them at an 800 number with your pin to participate.
Random addresses of registered voters, I am guessing is how the selection is done.
Then you get a $5 e-gift card at one of 4 choices. I think Soros is sending mine. bwahahaha.

Are we fighting a word of mouth meme? YOU NEED AN APPOINTMENT TO VOTE EARLY

Is this a voter suppression meme?? if it is widespread??

I first saw it on FB as a question from a friend to everyone.
She said she 'was told' you need to make an appointment to vote early.

Of course everyone in her friends list was saying no, just show up, go vote.
But it got me wondering......?

Lets face it, a lot of voters are just now paying attention in this final month.
Maybe we need to start a campaign on social media and by word of mouth to people that we know that
NO APPOINTMENT IS NEEDED TO VOTE EARLY !!

(??)

I heard Pence cancelled travel to Indiana tomorrow.

It was a big deal here that he was coming in to early vote. I heard from one source he is not now coming. Things that make us go, "Hmmmmmm".
Wouldn't it be something.

30 days out and TRump is not at 45 in the pols.

Every day that Trump is not even at 45 % it says, you lose. I remember from the McGovern and Mondale campaigns.

It's the Revenge of the Rose Garden !

Rose Garden SC Justice event was the Super Spreader event. The Rose Garden that Melania and White House ripped up for GOP 'EVENTS'. The Rose Garden now devoid of 🌹 s.

The Rose Garden that now looks more like a mass grave when it is empty.

It's the Revenge of the Rose Garden.
