Would a Bernie Sanders type figure have out-performed Harris for POTUS this cycle? It’s … possible.

But anybody making the strong version of this argument should grapple with the fact that a Bernie-type figure *under-performed* Harris this cycle. His name? Bernie Sanders.

The global dynamics of the incumbency disease and the incompleteness of the exit poll data makes it hard to know EXACTLY what policy/culture portfolio would have maximized the Democrats’ chances of winning.

But I’d like to see the “whatever my thing is, that’s what Democrats should have done!” folks illustrate their points with a bit more evidence.

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

Polls just closed in Wisconsin—except the ones with lines. If you're in line, stay in line.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

If you are in line before the polls close, stay in line.

It is your right to make your voice heard. If you have any trouble casting your ballot, call our Voter Assistance Hotline: [phone].

BREAKING: A judge in Northampton County refused to extend voting hours, despite waits of 6+ hours near Lehigh University. But if you’re in line at 8 p.m, you can vote. If the Banana Factory is your polling place and you haven’t voted yet, get in line by 8!

[Taylor Hale @TheTayHale]

Big shout out to @PodSaveAmerica & @jonlovett - the last pod got me interested in calling voters who voted by mail but had their ballots rejected. I checked my ballot out of curiosity and realized I was one of them!

I would have assumed I was fine. My vote wouldn’t have counted.

Being engaged matters!

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

I’m hearing there are many long lines to vote across Pennsylvania on college campuses because of record youth voter turnout.

PENNSYLVANIA STUDENTS: IF YOU ARE IN LINE TO VOTE STAY IN LINE TO VOTE YOU CANNOT BE TURNED AWAY SO LONG AS YOU ARE IN LINE.

[Josh Shapiro @JoshShapiroPA]

If you plan on voting for Jill Stein or Trump because of the war in the Middle East, please watch and reconsider. It’s just 6 minutes and it’s worth the watch.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Reading will decide this election.
Allentown will decide this election.
Philly will decide this election.

In a race this close, every 🗳️ single 🗳️ ballot 🗳️ will decide this election.

Let’s do this, Pennsylvania.
