captainsblogThe oldsters here may remember this commercial:
To the younguns, there's this version of it:
You can't stop the signal, Mal.
For everyone living relatively close to this corner of the 'verse, Tuesday is important. If you live in New York's 26th Congressional District (which you very well may, if you live in Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Orleans, Monroe, Ontario or Livingston county), you need to boost the signal. The Democratic candidate is now leading in one of the reddest Republican districts in the Northeast, but her slimy Republicant opponent still has three days to pull some last-minute tricks. Best I can do is help in Get Out The Vote efforts. So.
Here's some help in a few quick steps if you're in Erie (I suspect other county election boards have similar stuff online.) Click this link. Put in your address. Click "find polling place." This being a website run by a bunch of partisan political hacks, it will NOT display your polling place, but a click or two later, you'll get a link for "my elected officials." If it says your representative in Congress is "vacant," you're in NY26. Keep going. Three or four clicks of the "find polling place" link later, it will tell you. Go there on Tuesday. Vote Row A. Keep Calamity Jane and Crazy Jack out of Congress. Please. Then come back here Tuesday after 9 p.m. Eastern for the party.
Before then, though: tell two voters. And they'll tell two voters. And so on, and so on, and so on....
