[TRU Research] Research Meeting Tuesday 6:30pm

[Jim Walseth]

Harry,
One of my general conclusions from voting data is that precincts with
apartment buildings are more progressive leaning, but have lower turnout.
In other words, reaching people in these apts is key. So this data is great!
In Solidarity,
Jim
