48 hours to go

Tim checks in from Oklahoma, where he is embedded with the Andrew Rice for Senate campaign:

"We have been burning up the phones with our Get Out The Vote effort. We have called thousands of voters over the past two days to make sure they are getting out early to vote. I spoke to one elderly Rice supporter today who is unable to leave his house but wanted to help. He told me that if we could get him the information of folks to call that he would call from his home. We of course got him the names and he'll be calling voters to help get out the vote through election day.

The volunteers for Andrew are truly dedicated and are doing a fantastic job, logging a ton of hours this last week to help us get folks to the polls. The reports from Oklahoma City and Tulsa early voting locations put the waits up around 3 hours.

My parents voted yesterday and said the line in Tulsa was 2 hours long.

Our volunteers who have gone out to vote themselves tell us that energy for Andrew has been amazing and that they have never seen excitement like this in Oklahoma for an election ever. The sheer gravity of this election is not lost anywhere in this country, even in a state that isn't considered a battleground."

of Oklahomans just this week
