This is going to be a tight election and every little bit of effort is going to make a big difference in November. Early voting runs through Friday, October 31st.  If you are unable to walk your precinct, or help make phone calls, please take it upon yourself to personally try to get 6 people (family and friends) over the next 3 days to either send in their absentee ballots (if they have received one) or go to one of the early voting locations listed above to cast their vote. Doing this will enable us to focus on getting those who haven't yet voted, to the polls on November 4th and make sure that everyone's vote is counted in this critical election.
