EARLY VOTING, DAY 1 JMC's soundbite: "people aren't into this election - at ALL" Whether it's the timing (during vacation season/a week before the 4th of July), Day 1 numbers were bad. How bad? (1/)

CALIFORNIA, GOVERNOR AND CONGRESS JMC wanted to illustrate the "dark blue" hues of the "overtime vote" in the Golden State for both the Governors race and all 52 Congressional races over a week's time.

IOW, this is an illustration of why Spencer Pratt missed out on the runoff/why there was ET speculation that Tom Steyer might do the same. However, CA is (relatively speaking) "redder" than LA County, which is why I discounted the idea that Steyer could become "#2"

VALUE OF A TRUMP ENDORSEMENT In South Carolina, about 80% of the vote reporting so far is early, and Evette is 1 point ahead of Alan Wilson. Among Election Day vote, she's up 10 (34-24%) In other words, I expect her vote share to increase throughout the night.
