I know others have already mentioned trying LibreOffice, but you really should give it a shot, it's free and Open-Source. I've been maintaining a couple of 600+ page technical manuals in it for over a decade now, it really is a viable replacement for MS Word. Here's the link,

I haven't use MS Office in over a decade, LibreOffice is really that good:

Today is Tuesday, August 5th 2025. I got a robo-call from an "AI Agent" this morning. I asked it what day of the week it was, and it very confidently told me it was Friday. I can only imagine what history "facts" get hallucinated by "AI" when it comes to historical analysis.

And that response rate by party has absolutely no effect on our poll results, the district is still effectively about 2:1 Rs to Ds. And even with that party mix, this poll shows it's still a much closer race than the district historical stats suggest it should be.

One thing we don't put in our polling reports is the response rate to our survey phone calls and texts, but that number does provide at least some indication of voter engagement on an issue or race. In this poll, the registered Ds responded at twice the rate of the Rs that we attempted to contact.

A good time to remind people about @libreoffice.bsky.social which is Free and Open-Source office software that does almost everything MS Office does:

A reminder of how it went at the top of the ballot in Pinellas County in 2020, Biden won by 0.2% of the vote, and that was with DEMs having a 0.7% party registration advantage in the county at the time.

Effectively, the election is about 3/4 done at this point in Pinellas County. The 2020 turnout was 79.31% and we're at 57.55% right now. I would estimate that maybe only about 120,000 voters will vote tomorrow in person in the county.
