50 days until Midterm Election Day!

Begin General Election Season

IMPORTANT: it’s crucial that everyone read well ahead on these dates, as there are many “received-by” dates that could be missed if one waits until the last minute. For example, in Louisiana the absentee ballot request deadline is only 3 days before the absentee ballot deadline, so one has to mail something in TWICE in the last week before Election Day. I would advise starting the process at least two weeks before the deadlines. Remember, we’re dealing with DeJoy’s postal system!

Competitive House Races, according to 538 (as of Sept. 15) “toss-up” or “leans D or R”. If the Democrats win a majority of these, we will almost certainly keep the House --
