The seven political states of Pennsylvania

[DeminPennswoods]

4. Report from my corner of PA

I live in one of NBC's "bellweather" counties (Beaver), which is surprising since it's pretty consistently been won by the GOP for many years now.

Anyway, I have already gotten 3 applications to vote by absentee ballot, 1 of which was from Beaver county Dem party, and a post-card from the state telling me how easy it is now to vote by absentee ballot.I will be voting in person though.

I've gotten 3 phone calls from Dem organizations asking me if I planned to vote and who I was planning to vote for. They all were happy to hear "Biden and all Dems on the ballot". I was also polled yesterday, primarily about Lamb/Parnell, but also asking about Biden/Trump.

And it's only early September.

I expected to see Trump/Pence signs and flags as it's just how my area is, but I was surprised to see Biden signs on lawns of homes in the more affluent areas that I didn't expect. Fwiw, I still haven't seen my neighbors put their Trump sign up their yard as they had in 2016. Interestingly, I've seen a fair number of signs up for the Dem running for state house where the voters haven't been especially engaged. The Dem is AfAm so that might help Biden up ballot if it gigs AfAm turnout.
