about that guy, and lindsey graham s idea was for him to run. goes to show you how smart lindsey graham is. having said that, nobody watches this show that don t go vote. make other people in your household vote, your friends vote, because it still could go in a horrible direction. when you look at the early turnout, what do you see there? the early vote does look good. there s no question about that. a lot of people democrats do tend to vote earlier, more early vote. republicans tend to vote more on election day. now, somebody pointed out that there s rain in the forecast for georgia. you always hear that, it s raining, it s dry in the south, and that kind of stuff. i don t know what kind of effect it is. but i do think a republican voter i don t think he s that motivated to go out and vote for herschel walker. might be motivated to vote against biden, but that s the only motivation they re going to have.

were in line when the polls closed rkts they have to let you vote. they can t close the door in your face. do you have an overall sense whether or not we ll see a split decision tonight? whether or not we might see the governor s race and lieutenant governor s race go to two different parties. do you think people are going to vote straight ticket today? i think people are going to vote straight ticket because the democrats care deeply about tom barrett and mahlon mitchell. i think the republicans resolve is just as strong. in terms of the union household vote, one of the things that we have seen in our exit polls is that the proportion of union households in the electorate is up.
