I'm feeling increasingly optimistic about the midterm elections, but I just wanted to toss out one particular data point for anyone who might not be making absolutely sure that they are going to get their vote recorded on November 6.
I work for a nonprofit conservation organization based in San Francisco. As you might expect, the leadership and the employees (excluding yours truly of course!) are nearly all liberal. Last week, for the first time ever, we decided to close all of our offices on Election Day for a paid holiday so that our employees can not only vote, but also volunteer in election day activities.
I cast the lone dissenting executive team vote against doing so, and as the organization's in-house counsel, I attached to the announcement a very stern warning about keeping our organization out of partisan politics. But the broader message was crystal clear: this election is unlike any other in the past, and as an organization, we are doing everything in our power to impact the outcome. We also registered our organization along with hundreds of other corporations both for- and non-profit who have done the same or similar things.
I don't know that it will have a huge impact. The employees of my organization are the kinds of people who probably never fail to vote, and in any event, most of them live in deep blue states and congressional districts far from the swing districts that will determine this election. But still, even a few marginal votes, multiplied across may different companies all across the country, are going to have an effect.
It's just one data point, and by all indications, it's not only liberals who are fired up about this election as hasn't been seen in many years. But please, if you have any doubt about whether you'll make it to the polls on November 6, get those plans in place to make sure that you do!
Vote! Vote! Vote!
I will! I will! I will!
Given the Communists advocacy for violence, be prepared for attempted disruptions at polling places in red districts.
The dem mob will try anything to win. The “caravan” is just the beginning.
>>I have to say that I have ditched every last liberal friend I may have ever had.<<
Likewise, and relatives too. I’ve told ‘em straight up, I don’t consort with ANY anti-Americans. End of story.
