A propos of nothing, UnitedHealthcare declined to cover my husband’s ambulance trip to the morgue because his insurance policy lapsed at the second of his death.
There is a technical exception because under California law a person is not deceased until they are declared dead and paramedics arrived before he had been declared dead.
I appealed to the office of the CEO.
My appeal was denied.

In 2020, I shared a story about my experience during the 2016 election.
Given all the positive GOTV stories I'm seeing now, it feels important to share it again to show how different things feel this time.
Back in 2016, I volunteered to run the text banking team for Hillary Clinton's campaign in San Francisco.
I still remember the dread I felt on Election Day.

🍑 A complete analysis of Georgia turnout, with an important methodological note.
TLDR: Harris remains well-positioned to win Georgia, but needs slightly more Election Day turnout than my initial analysis suggested.
Here's the complete data explaining why.
First, a clarification:
Between 2020 and 2024, Georgia's Secretary of State began reporting "active, registered voters" rather than total registered voters in turnout calculations.

Georgia's early voting has ended, and from an analytical standpoint, every metric I'd want to see for a Harris victory is present.
Let's break down why. 🍑
Metro Atlanta finished strong, with large counties recording ~80,000 votes in just the final two hours (5-7 PM) yesterday.
Polls closed in rural counties at 5 pm, so Democratic counties drove that final surge.
This surge could preview Election Day potential.

Today was massively important for Harris in Georgia and has put her in a very good position to win the state.
Let’s show that using:
Current Early Voting + (2020 Election Day %) = Projected Total
Then compare to 2020 Total Turnout.
Fulton:
57.9% + 11.4% = 69.3%
2020 Total was 65.57%
Would exceed by 3.73 points
DeKalb:
57.6% + 12.7% = 70.3%
2020 Total was 68.21%
Would exceed by 2.09 points
Gwinnett:
54.4% + 17.7% = 72.1%
2020 Total was 71.62%
Would exceed by 0.48 points

🍑 GEORGIA VOTER TURNOUT ANALYSIS (Oct 23, 2024) 🍑
IMPORTANT: This is an analysis of WHO is voting and WHEN they're voting compared to 2020.
This is NOT a prediction of election outcomes.
Data will be updated daily through Election Day.

First, let's look at WHO current early voters are compared to their 2020 behavior:
