Duke, if you don’t copy that to the covers thread, I will.
What a passionate cover of an already passionate song.

People marched through firehoses, bullets and police attack dogs to keep the right to vote. We should all be able to handle a little rain.

Brass Against the Machine is a winner in my book.

Well, that’s one less Christmas present you need to purchase.

Wishing all Trump Afflicted Families all the best.

This sticker…I love it so much. PA still just has the same boring ones I’ve been seeing forever.

They certainly kick a substantial quantity of buttocks. This is a great way to ignore the election for a few minutes.

Yeah, if we were to vote on the actual Election Day (we voted a couple of weeks ago) we would have to do it in a church that proudly announces that the Earth is 8,000 years old on their home page. Reason #547 why we don’t vote on the day.

We vote in the community center, in a town small enough that we still have one, and that it is actually used as one. There are advantages to small town living.

I don’t even live in a town! Or village, or hamlet. Hence, the church.

Potentially bad news, although of course one vote probably won’t make the difference. One daughter voted absentee, which is very difficult to do in Indiana if you’re not a senior citizen. I think I’ve already mentioned that they pulled a fast one on her (knowing the last time she asked for an absentee ballot she was a college student in NYC, and she was asking for it again from an NYC location), but her talking to the postal clerk and getting a special marking on her ballot meant it was received yesterday, definitely in time to count! But…it was marked with “cure needed”, which means:

Notification

Indiana law specifies that election officials must notify an absentee voter of a signature mismatch determination within two business days after the determination is made by election officials.

Correction

Indiana law requires that, in the event of a signature mismatch, a voter submit a signed signature verification affidavit no later than noon eight days after Election Day.

Not sure how that communication will happen within 2 business days, as that means today or tomorrow, and I’m guessing they’re otherwise fully occupied.

I am 99.9% sure that she must have reflexively signed with her new name, which is technically her middle name (so there’s no official need to legally change it) but 4 years ago she was still trying to figure out if that was the right name for her so she would have signed with her legal first name.

My polling place in the recent provincial election was in a church that believes I’m an abomination and my life is sin, so I dressed up as witchy and as slutty as possible when I went to vote. You gonna make me uncomfortable? Right back atcha.

I finished my shift & voted.

Turnout at my assigned location was 62% when I did my last count at 12:45. (By my calculation- they don’t have public numbers yet).

Pretty good with a half day left.

We will hear about this one later as well. Sounds totally justified, but allowing more folks to vote is bad, of course. (If you are a fascist.)
