Let Them Know That You Are Voting

With Newsweek showing a sharp improvement in the Democrats' performance and Nate Silver moving in the other direction to forecast a more than 50-seat pickup for the Republicans, it seems that there is just a bunch of statistical noise going on. It's hard to analyze anything. But, one thing I do know is that you can make things easier by going to Organizing for America and simply telling them that you are going to vote (or that you already have) so that they can strike your name off their call lists and walk sheets. It's a little thing, but I can tell you that it means a lot to the people manning the phones and hitting the pavement.

While you are there, you can log into the humorously named MyBO and get in touch with your local organizer. For example, in my area there were events set up for 10am this morning in Malvern, Phoenixville, and Downington. You can volunteer some of your own time and get to know like-minded individuals in your community, which can have many benefits.

But, please at least let them know they can rely on you to vote. It's literally the least you can do.

1. Here on DU

It's been a tradition to change one's avatar from the time one votes until the election is over to "I Voted". I'm hoping people will be doing that with this election, too.

2. Ah, yes, tavalon, it has. I hope this kicks in; start an OP maybe,

for newbies?

3. Voting is fun! And about this Nate...

You know, this is his second cycle commenting on elections. The last cycle was the easiest to call in my lifetime. He simply does not have a long enough record to be given the weight his guesses are given.

5. When I call for OFA we are calling voters who requested a mail in ballot, but haven't yet mailed it.

So mail it in if you want to stop getting calls :)
