Election Day is finally here! Get out and vote if you haven’t already!
And now a super-brief election news roundup, since I’m slammed right now:
- Early trends show Republicans areas turning out at near-2024 levels.
- In Michigan, Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens, the woman jihadist scumbag Abdul El-Sayed defeated in the primary, just endorsed Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers over him.
- And she’s not the only one! There’s some polling place interviews that suggest those defections are having an effect, and that black voters never warmed to El-Sayed and are tired of being taken for granted.
- Last poll shows Susan Collins up by 1.2% in Maine, by the same polling company that showed her down by six in the last race that she ended up winning by eight.
- I was going to scan in some election flyers, but I don’t have time. I got two from August Pfluger, my congressman come January 3rd thanks to redistricting. I should check with him to see if he needs staffing for a north Austin office. Believe it or not, I actually got two flyers from Talarico. I doubt the “Paxton is dirty and cost taxpayers money” one moves the needle, but the other declares “James Talarico has a plan to address the maternal mortality crisis,” and the back makes it clear it’s pitched at black women. Mail-dropping flyers to eeruone, including Republicans, may be a low percentage move, but if you have the money the Talarico campaign has, it’s not the worst play, especially if you’re trying to appeal to women, especially black women bitter over Jasmine Crockett’s defeat. But if black women are your audience, why mail it to me? Finally, I got a flyer from Ted Brown, calling to abolish the IRS. Ballotpedia tells me he’s the Libertarian senate candidate this year, information to be found nowhere on the flyer itself. This does not exactly speak to keen attention to detail…
- “Bored Of Having A Good State, Texas Considers Voting Democrat.
That’s all I have time for. Go vote!
