Making a note of my tiny political behaviors as rydra_wong suggested! Being registered in a blue county in a blue state, and having already submitted my absentee midterm ballot, I tossed a small donation to ActBlue's #GrabYourBallot list a few days back. This one includes Heidi Heitkamp and Beto O'Rourke. Other candidates whose blurbs caught my eye are Kyrsten Sinema (senate race) and Paulette Jordan (governor).

Any particular candidates/races on your radar? I'd appreciate hearing about them if there are; it makes a nice change from my sporadic Twitter- and headline-skimming.

NY 27: Chris Collins (R-under federal indictment for securities fraud) vs. Nate McMurray (D-not under federal indictment for securities fraud). That chunk of Western New York has a deep red streak, so it's no surprise that the race is as close as it is -- thanks to being an incumbent and a Trump-nugget, Collins still manages to be in the lead even though he really should be wearing an orange jumpsuit. I'll be thrilled if McMurray wins, but I'm not holding my breath.

It's true we'll have to wait and see, but the fact that so many state/local races are generating news this election cycle is encouraging.
