15 down and one more to go...

I live in a very liberal area just outside Boulder Colorado. I spent time talking to people in the neighborhood to see if they needed help dropping off their ballots or getting information on those running or propositions. 13 of the 16 total, who very much were upset over dobbs, have now voted… Blue The others I know are also voting Blue, though their main concern is fascism taking over.

I recognize I live in a sane place… If you live in one of our crazy places… Be safe and Thank You! You are doing the hard lifting and it’s appreciated.

...the first guy gave me a hard time, saying "not in this neighborhood".

I went back to phone banking, then got hung up on twice!

I'll try phone banking again tomorrow night.

I was real close to punching the one guy out!

Phone banking is safer. I'm not as likely to be arrested or sued!

...anyone who lives on more than two acres has a Trump sign or two in the yard.
People living in housing developments, including the wealthy ones, not so much.

Happily, we're in the middle of brand new CD8, so that brings plenty of excitement. My participation has been limited by health issues, but other Weld Dems have been going at it pretty much 24-7; I do miss being there with them! Anyway, Caraveo is our choice for House against former Weld pro-cecession commish Kirkmeyer.

Condolences to those who still reside in CD4, where Ken Buck is proof that republicans will elect even a desiccated cowpie if it has an R next to its name.

Every little bit either helps, or extends, or reinforces.
