Greetings fellow Democrats!

I was wondering if any of you had a clue whether or not a lot of AA's will be voting this Sunday in the Souls to the Polls GOTV effort?

I was curious if this tradition held a lot of AA votes that many in the media are reporting so conspicuously absent this election. It looks like participation is picking up here in Florida where I'm from but I was also wondering if this was something a lot of mostly older folks as a social event. Makes sense and a good idea too.

Just curious and unfortunately don't have many AA contacts or friends.

Anyway, onward and upward to a progressive victory for all!

And that's all they are, so don't get carried away. BUT African Americans finished strong yesterday in NC on the last day of early voting. Reports are of good turnout in Broward County, FL yesterday and and a good "Souls to the Polls" in Dayton and Columbus areas.
