Wow! Republican Gov. Brian Kemp's leadership PAC actually out-raised Stacey Abrams' PAC last quarter.
Abrams took in ~$2.6 mil more overall but Kemp's proven that he can keep up with the nationally known Dem (even after he was severely out fundraised last cycle)
Sen. Blumenthal (D) asked Apple's Kyle Andeer three times if there's a firewall between the app store team and the team that develops new apps for Apple. There was no definitive answer.
Then posed to Google's Wilson White, White said he didn't understand the question.
“For younger people, it is the threat of a third-party candidate or staying at home,” that should be the real fear for Democrats, Cohen said.

Jaime Harrison said during the debate that Sen Graham should be getting more for SC because of his relationship with Pres Trump. So afterwards I asked him what he would ask Biden, if they both win on Tuesday:
Sen Graham took one question after the debate but as he was walking out I asked “Mr. Graham, why haven’t you taken up the Charleston gun loophole bill?”

I just heard that the OUR VOTE hotline is no longer taking calls even though voters are still confused about where their new consolidated polling sites are in NJ.
That line is staffed by volunteers, and our elections need to be run with better support than charity efforts.

It just hit me that mail-in ballots provide an excellent paper trail for recounts... better than a lot of the polling place machines that only have print out barcodes or don't have any paper trail
My follow up: So you don’t have one first priority, you have five.
Harrison: It’s five. When I got into the race I asked my self why is S.C. at the top of all the bad lists and the bottom of all the good lists ... it’s because we have neglected rural communities
