2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHome and my three weeks of campaigning for Hillary is at an end.
Had fun a met a lot of good people. Whatever happens I feel proud of the effort regular NYers put into getting Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders elected.
A few observations. Turnout is hit and miss. There will be more affidavit ballots but not as much as you might think. Most of them are from people who were screwed over from the BOE and will have a very good chance of their votes actually counting.
I expect about 3-5 thousand more affidavit ballots in Brooklyn than usual.
Affidavit and Abseentee ballots do not get counted until 9 days after the election so we find out the final margin in May.
I have no numbers on Abseentee ballots.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO ENCOURAGED ME THESE LAST THREE WEEKS.
GO HILLARY!

(58 posts)Canvassing is grueling, and I've learned to respect those who make the effort to do it, no matter who they're doorknocking for. [Well, maybe a carve-out for Trump crazies.]
The best moments are when I've gotten a "thank you for doing this, it's so important" from a voter, even when they're supporting the other candidate.
Good on you.
