Good news

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

A bit of good news days before an election never hurts. And there is excellent news from the state of Pennsylvania. TargetEarly is a political data dashboard for Democratic information. And they have found that more than 80,000 young people have already voted in the great state of Pennsylvania.

That would be voters between the ages of 18 to 29. Hallelujah people! Now if one were to compare these results to the numbers in 2018 we get stunning results. Because the data shows in the year 2018, only 28,500 voters of this age group did so.

This is really big news. I know many were worried about the youth turnout, and in Pennsylvania, at least, it looks to be outstanding. This same data shows that so far, democrats make up more than 80 percent of these targeted voters who have cast their votes so far.

We can’t get complacent though. We still need to run like we’re 10 points behind because that’s how we win! But it is always nice to have encouraging news, and this news is damn good!
