So in the process of GOTV planning for clients and allies I was shocked last Sunday night to learn that the next day 2 states were beginning their early voting for the 2010 midterm.
It got me to thinking...if I the total election following wonk didn't know, how much of the general population is aware? So below the fold I list every state what info I was able to hunt down for dates of Early Voting.
Remember...diaries are good, talk on facebook and twitter are good but if we don't get people to go vote none of it will matter on Nov. 3rd
