Came here to say: “yeah, lol, wait on line, I’m in one of the 3 vote-by-mail states that already have 70+% turnout as of Monday, enjoying democracy and some recreational cannabis that was legalized without getting off the couch!”

Fair enough, most people I know do the same. Just sayin’, I’ve decided to wait until the end over the last few years. Did you get postage-paid this year? It was our first year for that.

As in “it’s too late for me to be influenced?” If so, just remember, you don’t have to send your ballot in early.

Or, you know, you can get nearly an 80% turnout in a mid-term year like OR, WA, and CO are doing, (before the polls even open almost everywhere else,) by sending ballots through the mail automatically. In those three states, you have to opt-out of voting.

Not trying to intentionally be a dick here, although I might read like one...

you might have just gone with the Mad-Libs version, “Sean Hannity is full of _____.”

there’s got to be a subreddit that can handle that for you...

I’m gonna stick with the Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge costume on my neck and stick with the borg-band until they can come up with a “truely wireless” battery that can avoid the need. 5 hours max in not enough.

vote-by-mail like WA, OR, and CO nation-wide. No one can focus every resource on a single machine or a single day then.

oh... come on now... Promoters bought refs a long time ago.

not sure about the # of other states, but Kemp has refused any form of help, including the creation of a paper-verifiable record of votes made by their hackable machines (see 2004.)

I’d imagine even stalwart republican polling staff are against screwing with the machines, and each set of machines is overlooked by generally seriously-minded people interested in handling ballots fairly. There aren’t many gaps to facilitate election fuckery of hardware around the time of the election, and software…

because Bush and 9/11. I kid you not.

They usually don’t re-count in GA, they run-off, and GA has one of the few state-wide voter systems left that leaves no paper trail (and is run on easily hackable hardware, at the least)... it was basically set up so a corrupt motherfucker could crony his way to the SoS office then make himself the Governor.

Seems kind of “left-wing mob”-y to me. I’ve lived in Florida. For all the bad press it gets, there are still a bunch of really decent people there, and the coast is beautiful and teeming with life.

I think it’s a solid step in the right direction in a state where further legislation is inevitably going to get MORE restrictive for industry moving forward.

I’m not sure about Montreal bagels, I’ve never had one, but I grew up with NY bagels as a staple and the imitations almost everywhere else (maybe not Montreal,) are just pathetic.

I can vouch for this. I mostly work from home, with occasional 24 hour + marathons, and sometimes my circadian rhythms can get all out of whack. In order to reset them, (without having to take melatonin that severely effects my dreams, often to the detriment of my sleep generally,) I often either have to try to stay…

Then why have a ton of that “who’s who” pumped so much money into fighting it?

* that’s Carolyn Long, not Catherine Long, my bad, sorry.
