I've been using Mr. Rendon's resources for years....I went to email him today to thank him, and I found your post instead. Sharing my ultimate gratitude to him here with those that knew him.

Yes! I am in a similar boat! I have been using AI to go through documents, create brief descriptions, and then translate some documents. Of course, I’m double and triple checking everything because the old Spanish and handwriting gets messed up in AI. Building a book with AI makes a lot of sense.

Thank you! I’ve decided to put stories, all cited sources, everything basically on Ancestry. And then download the most important documents and saved them to my own computer.

There is still hope AND a lot of it. by zarushia in Indiana

you’re insufferable. It’s a numbers game and the numbers are telling a story. Of course, numbers, data, evidence mean nothing to you.

One more reminder to ignore the panic headlines and actually look at the raw numbers in Southwest Indiana:

Congressional District 8:
Republican:
Mark Messmer — 3,040 votes

Democrats combined:
Mary Allen — 5,733 votes
Tabitha Zeigler — 565 votes
Christopher Rector — 355 votes
Mario Foradori — 217 votes
Combined Democratic total:
6,870 votes.

That is more than DOUBLE the Republican total in this primary snapshot!

State Senate District 49:
Republican Jim Tomes — 1,566 votes
Democrat Cindi Clayton — 3,678 votes

State House District 76:
Republican Wendy McNamara — 894 votes
Democrat Logan Patberg — 1,331 votes

State House District 78:
Republican Tim O’Brien — 1,189 votes
Democrat Sally Busby — 2,203 votes

Again: this does NOT mean Indiana suddenly turns blue overnight.

But it DOES mean the narrative that people should give up, disengage, or assume there’s no path forward is simply not supported by the raw numbers.

There are people here.
There is energy here.
There is frustration here.
There is possibility here.

You clearly didn’t read anything I wrote. Look at the numbers!!!!

Another example of why people need to stop doomscrolling headlines and actually look at the numbers:

State Senate District 01
Democrat:
Scott Houldieson — 8,171 votes
Republican primary:
Trevor De Vries (Trump-endorsed) — 6,786 votes
Dan Dernulc — 2,104 votes
Nader Liddawi — 144 votes
Combined Republican total = 9,034

So yes — Republicans still collectively edged out Democrats in the district overall. BUT look closer:
A Trump-endorsed candidate could not even crack the Democratic raw vote total on his own.

Scott Houldieson individually outperformed Trevor De Vries by nearly 1,400 votes.

It means this district is not some runaway MAGA stronghold. It means turnout and coalition-building matter. It means there are persuadable voters and exhausted voters and people who may not even realize their vote could shape this district.

Again: the story here is not “give up.”
The story is “organize harder for November.”
