69. So it comes down to turnout, right?

Which party is more engaged in GOTV?

It seems to me that if you have both parties equally dedicated to their candidate that turnout will determine the outcome. How are we doing, from your perspective, in terms of plans to get folks to the polls on election day (that is, if they haven't already voted)?

We vote on Election Day. Being older and retired we have fewer outside commitments that would interfere with our doing that.

What is your definition of a landslide? former9thward Sep 2024 #6

A bigger margin of victory than Biden/Harris in 2020. Sibelius Fan Sep 2024 #13
