Election day WEATHER? Looks good for us.

The last hurdle, IMO, is avoiding some weatherpocalypse that affects eastern PA but not western PA.

Philadelphia — Election Day — Sunny and 48 degrees

So that's looking good.



Ohio looks pretty good. Probably some rain in Richmond, VA, but also rain in southern VA, so that's okay. Northern VA looks good, which is excellent for us.

Weather in southeast Florida (our turf) looks better than northern and western FL.

Rain around the western/central great lakes — Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan. But Detroit looks much better than northern and western Michigan. Again, good for us.

Early voting has created some places where election-day voting will be predominantly republican—like Iowa and North Carolina. So rain in NC looks okay for us, since that's a big early voting state.

All in all, we couldn't ask for much better.

1. Interesting....

I seldom if ever here of "bad weather" being an excuse for repug voters not showing up on election day...

2. Urban districts have longer lines

Out in the country you may have to drive a distance, but when you arrive it is easier to vote, and usually with lines short enough to be indoors.

I think it's reasonable to expect very nasty weather to be a factor in any voting, and quite possibly more a factor in under-served urban districts.

That said, it is hard to quantify because no two elections are the same.

Now, with early voting we have a situation where election-day voting is predominantly republican in some areas, which is why I said rain in NC is not necessarily a negative factor.

3. Good Points, thanks

but doesn't change my point-- never have heard bad weather as an excuse for repugs not voting...
