Andrew, you said you were volunteering to collect data on any election access issues on Tuesday. Who do we contact if we also want to help?
They actually seemed to be slammed with people for this. I think they are not looking for more. Main need at this point seems to be for phone banking, calling identified Biden voters to ensure they have voted/remind them to vote. Info on events here: https://www.mobilize.us/2020victory/.
I’ve enjoyed all of Matt’s visits to the podcast. It’s nice to get a pulse of politics in DC.
I listened to this late on November 5th while Trump still had a lead in Pennsylvania. This morning I see that Georgia and Pennsylvania may flip!
