It appears that numbers for [early voting in Georgia](https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2024/11/01/georgia-shatters-turnout-records-ahead-of-final-day-of-early-voting/) (the state, not the country) are through the roof. Speculation is that it is being driven by women [dark humor] because, in Georgia, women cannot afford to be late [/dark humor]. ---

It’s not just Georgia. The comparatively high turnout by women across the country is what gives me a sense of peace as we approach the end of this election cycle. I’ve known since _Dobbs_ was overturned that women were not going to forget. ---

In retrospect, “I’m gonna do it whether the women like it or not” may NOT have been a well-advised thing for Trump to say. ---

Tuesday rather terrifies me. The garage needs cleaning. That will help keep me away from the sports-reporting. ---

I’m taking Tuesday off of work, just as I’ve done for every Election Day since I’ve been old enough to work and vote, and I’m gonna do what I do every four years - order a pizza and watch the results come in. I’ll have two bottles prepared for opening depending on how the night goes. If it goes well - champagne brut. If it goes poorly - strong Canadian whiskey. If we don’t have a winner by midnight - both. ---

This feels like one of those games where the score is narrow for most of the game, but then one team scores 3 touchdowns in the fourth quarter. ---

Harris has been quite strong in her final weeks. The PA vote has fluctuated a bit since 2016. Trump won it then by half a percent. Biden won PA in 2020 by little over 1%. Disregarding all the oddities and unusual politics of Trump, the practice of “punishing” the current admisnistration in many elections comes into play here. So my prediction is that Harris will win PA by about 0.5%. We will all wonder, and academics for years, why it was not more. > **[2020 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election_in_Pennsylvania)** > > Biden > Trump > Tie/No Votes > **[2016 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election_in_Pennsylvania)** > > Trump > Clinton > Tie/No Data ---
