is still around? I hope so too

This is about democracy, and it's clear that there are people out there who were krasnov voters until very recently. republicans who have paid enough attention to what is really happening as opposed to the propaganda they're being incessantly fed and realizing that when they get to the voting booth, they don't have to just look at the Rs to figure out who and what to vote for.

I'm exhausted because I worked the election for over 15 hours yesterday in Durham NC and we processed more votes yesterday than we did in Nov 2024. I am happy and hopeful this morning.

My home state California did the right thing. Orange County and San Diego voted for 50. OC is red. or did it just used to be?

These big wins add energy to #TheOpposition and make possible the goal to #SaveDemocracy.

I'm going back to bed now. To anyone considering working your local elections, please do it! It's hard and pays little to nothing but it's IMPORTANT. I'm 70. I was not the youngest person working yesterday, nor the oldest. The youngest is 63. There were only 6 of us in total.
