Election turnout in Seattle

The conventional wisdom is that it will be big. And I think that's correct.

My own anecdotal evidence: I was called by a friend who was herself volunteering and so I agreed to help out on election day. (The Democrats, of course...driving shut-ins to the polls, "canvassing" etc etc..that sort of thing.) I am told to show up at 7PM last night at University Heights Community Center for a briefing etc. I show up there.

And so do approximatey five hundred of my neighbors. (Yes, I did a square foot guesstimate as I was standing there.) The halls were packed and the Party organizers surprised. It was amazing and heartening even if that the Electoral College diminishes the importance of our individual votes.
