My brother called me from DuPage County

this morning. He received his ballot, voted for Democrats, and turned it in at the county offices, placing it in the drop box. Apparently there are long lines there, and he did not want to vote that way. He says several of his neighbors have turned in their ballots as well.

We grew up in West Chicago, which was mostly republican at the time. He has facebook friends from our time there. Many of them are staunch republicans. He says the tax business has turned several of them around. They will not vote for trump now. They are angry. He thinks most of them will not vote at all.

Yay! New Biden/Harris sign

I live in a big farm house on a hill. We are on a busy road. Today, a four foot by four foot Biden/Harris sign joined all my other signs for local and state candidates.

We live in a red area, but a lot of people have been driving by, honking and waving in approval.
