Working/ Volunteering for the local Democratic County Headquarters has been very interesting so far this election. with Covid keeping people home and the rhetoric voting by mail is getting from the other side there is a lot of negativity spreading out across the country. A lota of people are darn scared of mailing in their ballots in.
Every day you get inundated by the news networks with storied about voter fraud and slowdowns in mail delivery of ballots to the courthouses. Many are just false made up stories some tho are not.I get to hear from the people daily here in my county and truth be told I’m not hearing anything that would lead me to believe that it is a national overwhelming issue. a few pockets of small issues in individual post offices. That the news services grab onto and blow out of proportion. I’m not getting calls that would tell me different. in fact my own mail-in ballot and Ballot request had no issues going threw the mail service.
The Republicans are pushing the stories about voter fraud and lost ballots to scare people from voting because they are scared that they will loose there grasp on the power of the country from the white house down to the local dog catcher. And I’ve seen locally they have a reason to be scared. Many long time Republicans are seeing the light and switching how they vote in this election. Daily I have them walk in my front doors and want info on Democratic candidates and Biden/Harris signs for there yards.
Now we still have some die-hard Truph supporters in pockets across our county but those are dwindling day by day. As I drive around the county putting up Democrat candidate signs up I see signs coming down for Trump and they are not being stollen but property owners are tking them down. Indiana may be turning to a shade of purple leaning towards a more bluish tents.
I’m working as much as I can to help make this Blue Wave wash across the country and I hope that others also stand up and be apart of the change we need so bad from the top down.
