Interestingly, as expected, the various social media platforms and internet connectivity therein are sketchy and intermittent as the critical USA midterm election nears.
As we have done in the past, today we solicit reader feedback on the sentiment in/around your area as the midterm election nears. What is your local sense of the tone, voter intent, enthusiasm or lack therein, in the last 72 hours before election day on Tuesday.
This request comes with a very important and specific qualifier, DO NOT USE social media to gauge or report your sense of where things stand. The reasoning is simple; the algorithm you are exposed to is not necessarily the reality of your environment. The information being fed into the data system that holds your specific attributes, is purchased and created specifically to provide you a specific sense.
Whether you realize it or not, your algorithm is the culmination of specific identifiable definitions of your personage and your interests. That algorithm id may or may not represent you, but it is sold and used in order to influence your decision-making on a variety of aspects from commerce (purchasing decisions) to behavioral modification (influences).
As a consequence, the best view of the reality in your vicinity is what you personally experience in real life, not during your travels on the internet. With that thought in mind, what is your sense of the voting intent in/around your proximity?
From my own travels what I can identify with ease is the promoted narrative about abundant enthusiasm for leftist candidates is mostly false. I cannot identify any substantive enthusiasm to vote for the communist agenda of the Democrat Socialists or any other manufactured policy of the political left in real life.
Sure, online and in the media, there is a specific pipeline of information operating at maximum output to promote a blue wave premise. However, in real life -during my travels- I do not see that same level of enthusiasm claimed by oppositional advocates.
To the contrary, the datapoints and behavior of the political left indicate they are ‘trying’ to generate the illusion of something, as well as create some self-fulfilling prophecies. The appearances of President Obama in Detroit on behalf of Al-Sayed is an example. Obama is only deployed to get out the black vote. If the Muslim Brotherhood candidate was ahead in Michigan, Obama simply wouldn’t be there.
Additionally, the proverbial lawn sign indicators do not lend favor to a blue wave narrative.
That said, Georgia and Texas will be interesting to watch play out. Both of those states have been targeted by the various BLM, and DSA level operatives for several years. However, while they have succeeded in Georgia, they have not had a similar success in Texas – despite the lone star state being specifically vulnerable due to the Bush camp’s comfort with the larger socialist cause.
President Trump, DHS, ICE, DOJ and HSI have done all they can to trigger fear amid the professional population of election operatives who deploy fraudulent ballot operations as part of their electoral strategy. The Lawfare alliance has been spending billions to counteract this election integrity operation. It is yet to be determined which one will ultimately end up tipping the scale amid the various illegal voter systems.
What we can judge with some accuracy is the sense in our vicinity. What is the intent of our family. What do our neighbors say. What is the sense within our local community. These are measures of real sentiments that can be adequately assembled to provide a larger predictive sense.
Taking the social media network and subsequent algorithmic feed out of the equation, what is the reality of the sentiment in your area as best it can be judged?


Born & Bred New Yorker here (now a NC xplant). Don’t know what the area here (Wake Cty) is doing.. Raleigh & Durham (who knows) no signs or bumper stickers. However, family (many in NY) & friends are strictly conservative and a huge DJT supporters.
Voted early along with grand dtr first time voter — GOP down the line. We were hoping to get Mark Robinson in for gov last time around – which didn’t work out well!
Northern DE here. Voted early last week. I was surprised how many voters I encountered at 10:30am on a Tuesday. Lots of “FIRE COONS” signs out and about. That’s senaturd Chris (bald headed and bald faced liar) Coons of the infamous J6 Communist committee.
Unfortunately Wilmington (mostly 13%ers) and Dover usually carry the Dems across the finish line but I know at least 2 of my sons voted straight R as did I.
As Arte Johnson said way back when….”Very Interesting……but stupid”. Sounds like democratic talking points to me.
Here in Washington we are voting to repeal the “millionaires” tax
including the Supreme Court Justices that will eventually decide the case. The State is rife with fraud, praying for the best.
Las Vegas here. I voted in person early. They make it very easy. No ID needed, but they checked if my signature matched my registration card. I had to sign two or three times on the screen before the poll worker was satisfied. (She was able to pull up my original on her screen.) Two amendments on the ballot: Voter ID w/citizenship proof. And abortion as a right up to full term. My sense is the cheating from 2020 is under control. (The hotel worker union mailed in ballots of all the workers laid off from COVID. The signature match was set to ZERO, so they sailed right through.) I’m hoping the Susie Lee (D) is beaten by the Republican, who has run a good campaign. I think Gov Lombardo (R) will be re-elected. JMO
Metairie, LA here. The most enthusiasm and discussion here are all the local races (judges, PSC), and the dozen state constitution amendments. Scalise’s district, don’t expect that to change. Now who will fill Sen. Cassidy’s seat, that’s looking like a tight race. Letlow is a bad candidate, even though she got Trump’s endorsement in the primary. We may end up with the Democrat, Dixon. Not that that would be much different, from votes wise in Congress, than Cassidy. Might affect the balance of power, though.
Middle Tennessee here………
Airwaves in the Nashville area are flooded with ads from the independent ex felon candidate for Gov, Hatley. Marsha Blackburn has maybe half as many ads, and the Dem, a woman named Green, even fewer. I fully expect Blackburn to win easily…the margin may not be quite as large because Hatley may draw more GOP leaners than Dem leaners. I did like one Blackburn ad where she is featured pledged to NOT let TN become NY or California 🙂
In my area there are 2 seemingly contested House races: CD #5 has GOP candidate Charlie Hatcher, a local dairy farmer, running against the current DEM mayor of Columbia TN, Chaz Molder. Hatcher defeated the incumbent GOP House member, Andy Ogles, in the primary — so it’s being portrayed as if Molder has a good chance.
The other area race is CD #9, where the GOP candidate is Brent Taylor, running against the Dem Justin Pearson. This one is in a district formed in large part by the elimination of Memphis as a CD where the current House member was Steve Cohen, a flaming Marxist. The redistricting caused him to not even try again. Pearson is a loony leftist State House member who is infamous in part for being extremely disruptive on the floor of the TN legislature proceedings related to gun control and thus being temporarily expelled. A real piece of work. Taylor should roll.
A few years ago TN had 7 GOP and 2 Dem House members — the Dems being from Nashville and Memphis. A few years ago the TN legislature split Nashville up, and we went to 8 GOP and 1 Dem. Last year Memphis was split up, so I fully expect TN will send 9 GOPers to the House Tuesday.
GOP Sen Bill Haggerty is running for reelection with no real opposition.
Note: if Blackburn wins her race for TN GOV, then SHE will have the authority to appoint her replacement in the US Senate. The appointee would serve until the next REGULAR election, which would be Nov 2028. I haven’t seen any speculation as to who might get this appointment — but I’m reasonably confident it will NOT be a RINO 🙂
Texas here. I’m betting on Paxton whose signs outnumber talafreako by 10 to 1 in my area.
Minnesota here. Voted by mail. Old duffer down the road complaining about President Trump will probably vote Democrat throughout the ballot. His son lives down the road also. Recently retired from US Steel mine. Pretty sure his whole family are Democrats. They just don’t act crazy. Many friends and co-workers voting Republican. Trying to do our part to cancel out all the Somali votes.
Sundance it amazes me how many people do not have a clue what is going on in our Country. I was speaking to a couple of members of my church who said they really didn’t know who to vote for or what was really on our ballots as far as the initiatives. To be far the initiative languages is written in such convoluted legal language that some attorneys would be hard pressed to figure out how to vote on them. I then explained what would happen if you voted yes or no to an initiative and they were flabbergasted. Our Pastor told everyone they should vote and reminded them to vote. He also mentioned they should vote their Biblical values. So, a group of about 20 of us got together and discussed every vote and the candidates and why we either like them or not. Then we all voted. Then we prayed over our ballots that we made the right choice and asked God to intervene where we hadn’t. Many had not bothered to vote in years. We also talked to our other Christian friend from other churches and told them what our plan was and they were going to do something similar.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Try to pray and fast in these hours and days leading up to and after the polls close on Tuesday.
