Not a diary, I know, but this is great news.

Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) announced Friday morning that her coronavirus test came back negative, saying the news comes as “a relief.” “I am still staying home, because I have symptoms and need to recover; this means I will not be able to travel to Washington, DC to vote,” she tweeted.

UPDATE From the comments. Thank you, and thank Rep Porter from all of us!

Hi everyone — Congresswoman Porter’s Campaign Manager here again. Thank you for all of your well-wishes, she truly appreciates it! You can sign up to stay up-to-date with our campaign here: katieporter.com.

Numbers cartoon graphic — You mean it's not getting closer?

As we hit the Eve of Election (great, “Eve of Destruction” is now in my head...), thought it might be worthwhile to mention a couple of things to be aware of as we’re inundated by numbers in these final hours.

I’ve worked in stats for sports for many years, so while I don’t think I can call myself a “statistician” in the professional sense of the word, I do a lot with numbers and probably have a better grasp than most. In particular, I’d like to make some points about percentages, of which we’ll be seeing a ton starting in just over 24 hours. I have two general points:

1 — Don’t get freaked by changes in vote percentages in individual races.

2 — Nobody will be winning 88% of an election.

(You'll be seeing this nightly on the front page. Give a big shout out to sidinny and his incredible volunteers as they comb through the diaries and organize for us this election season. SusanG)

For more information on this series, please see our reintroduction diary from yesterday.

***Write that diary!***
One of the downsides of the immense upswing of diary traffic of late is that it can be difficult to get even a good diary noticed. Those relating to specific candidates for a House, Senate or Local race in particular fall by the wayside, as they may connect with only a limited audience and thus receive few recommends.

That's why, in the 2006 Election cycle, Markos was kind enough to front page a modest effort to raise the profile of those races by "rescuing" them daily. Through the Election Race Diary Roundup, we were able to help keep so many diaries on those races in view and, perhaps, help just a little in what turned out to be several very close races.

While Brownsox' outstanding daily roundup highlights many of those races, it is you - the Daily Kos community - who can be on the ground to provide the insight and information to help grow our majorities at every level. The Election Race Diary Rescue is back, and now we need you to write those diaries.

First installment and more, below............

Since a few folks have asked and the consensus seems to be that it did serve a positive function in the 2006 election, I'm very happy to report that we will be resurrecting the Election Race Diary Rescue for the 2008 election season. With any luck (and a lot of scrambling), we're hoping for the first one to go up Sunday night (Eastern).

For those who may not be aware, the purpose of this (hopefully) daily diary will be (much like SusanG's Diary Rescue) to comb through all diaries posted over a 24-hour period and list those who fit the criteria. Unlike Susan's, however, our purpose is to take the fine work put together by Daily Kos diarists that focuses on House, Senate, or local races - those diaries which, by themselves, may not be "rec list worthy" but serve a vital function in getting more candidates more exposure.

Please follow me for more...

Many of us have taken the media to task for their "coverage" - some would call it facilitating - of the many foibles of this administration. In particular, it seems the likes of ABC News and The Washington Post have come under scrutiny for some questionable editorial decisions.

The New York Times has also been criticized and among other things the Libby fiasco has done, it has reminded us of Judith Miller's (not small) role in the drumbeats leading up to the Iraq debacle, even as the "Kristol-nacht" wing of the right tries to repeat history in Iran.

Yes, today's editorial calling for withdrawal is hopeful, and Frank Rich often tosses a gem, though it can be said he's preaching to the choir. But with a new disturbing trend emerging of late, I think we should take note of how the Times' new public editor has emphatically responded.

Tonight's diary is the last one in this series (for 2006, anyway). On behalf of everyone involved I'd like to thank Markos for this incredible platform, our amazing candidates to whom we've entrusted our country, and all of our friends and colleagues on this site.

With a cutoff of Midnight last night this will be an abbreviated compilation, however, I have asked our many fine volunteers to share a final thought with the community. I hope you'll do them the honor of taking a look.

For all the introductory stuff and links to previous diaries in this series, please look below the fold.

This Roundup Diary covers the period from 1:00 PM Monday, 11/6 to 1:00 PM EST Tuesday, 11/7.

Important Note, We will continue to produce a diary roundup for at least the rest of the week, perhaps longer if the circumstances dictate.

Judging by the impact that one-party rule has had on our standing in the world, I don't believe it's overstating it to say that tonight will very likely be a significant one in history. I thank all of you who have worked so hard and must echo Al Rodgers' sentiments:

It's a privilege to serve with all of you.

A New Day Dawns. Thanks for reading.

Important Note, re: Tuesday's Diary - Tuesday's ERR diary will not be promoted to the front page (for reasons that are obvious and make perfect sense). We will, however, continue to produce a diary for that day as well as at least a few days after the election.
While it's hard to know exactly what time we'll be going up on Tuesday, if you don't want to miss the roundup of the many fine diaries that are sure to go up on Election Day, I'd suggest subscribing, if you haven't already done so. Thanks for reading.
