Walking Georgia
Report from Glen:
Overheard in a Georgia polling booth.
.
Small child to his mother after she cast her ballot: “Did you vote for Radical Jon?” (evidently his hero). Right up there with Yosemite Sam, Scooby Do, and SuperMan, is Radical Jon Ossoff.
.
Another polling place, Worker to young white guy: “Are you here to vote?” Teen: “I’m here to ruin Mitch McConnell’s life.”
.
The last day of early voting was yesterday. Blocks long lines at the deadline (why do people procrastinate). Voting is at about 82% of where it was in the General.
.
Good numbers here: GeorgiaVotes.com
.
People seem to think things are looking positive. I’m not in the know since we are only foot soldiers and reporting to regional organizers who are also not in the know. So we’re depending on the same press and online media as you guys for our info.
.
Our kids are now running some canvassing operations. Sam Gostomski and Clayton Jelinek heading up a canvas launch in an outdoor park on the edge of Savannah. Beautiful site. And Jon Ossoff stopped by and they got pics with him.

Thank you again for helping. The kids have trained other volunteers to take home the skills they are learning here.
More soon ….
