Let's All Swing Like the Swingers Swing!

The Raleigh N & O is reporting this a.m. that early voting across North Carolina has topped 400,000 people. Stunning. Unprecedented. Are those citizens grappling nature itself to get to the polls early because God told 'em that He wants El Presidente reelected? Is that what it feels like to you?

No? Me neither.

Locally, early voting in Watauga County has already passed the six thousand mark, with almost a thousand voting every day. The local total could be nudging 10,000 early votes by the time early voting closes this Saturday at 1 p.m.

In urban counties, like Wake, voters were standing in line sometimes up to two hours for their chance. Standing in line two hours to reaffirm this present government and its failed policies? We don't think so.

Get ready for surprises on November 2nd. States no one thought had a chance of swinging are going to swing. Including, just possibly, the Tarheel State.
