I think you can credit the turnaround to the kick-ass operations ACT is running in Reno and Vegas. 200 of us Northern Californians are driving to Reno this weekend to keep up the momentum.
The deadline to register in Nevada is Oct 2nd. We've got 3 more weeks to build our edge. All you Californians, get involved through ACT or drivingvotes.org!
