What it is really like to work on a political campaign: extra innings!

This will be short; I'm frantically busy after this election. It ain't over.

In a state which allows "curing" of mail-in ballots with small errors like a missing date or perhaps a too-variant signature, voters have a grace period to fix their ballot. The list of who needs to fix is public record.

So our operation is now trying to chase down the voters in our target who need to do this before Monday. Our crew is literally staking out houses of some workers whose ballot requires curing -- to give them the information they need to fix things.

It could matter as the election is that close in Nevada. This Nevada Independent story tells the story in the Reno area:

In Washoe County, 1,421 ballots still required a signature cure as of Thursday morning, of which the plurality, 39 percent, were nonpartisan, another 32 percent were Democrats and 30 percent Republicans.

We are still trying to win this thing!
