I did this last year (and I believe wrote a long story about it at the time) and had a real eye-opening experience in the couple of hours you are trying to navigate the "world" in the simulation.
I wholeheartedly hope you will take part this year.

Wednesday vote totals came close to doubling the number of ballots cast from Tuesday's opening day. Keep up the good early voting work, Polk!

Note: These numbers do not include a full total of absentee ballots returned as of close of business. They are just up until what came in as of 10 a.m. Today's figures ~ 5% of the voter base. We have 28,752 registered voters in Polk. Think we can make it to that figure before the end of day 11/1?
