You know what is the worst? Going to work and being unsure or not whether there is a cat pee small on your clothes.
I am going to posit that being entirely sure is worse.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well, being entirely sure means it is entirely worth it to go home and change, even though it is super inconvenient.
Cat-flavored macaroons. Yum.
Cataroons.
It just occurred to me that in MA, they literally take your word for it that you are who you say you are when you go to vote. That actually does seem a little loosey-goosey to me! In NY, I'm pretty sure you sign a book next to the signature you sent in when you registered to vote. That, to me, seems reasonable.
That is right about NY. Of course I registered to vote when I was 18, so my signatures totally don't match. But as long as I am in the book and sign, I have to produce no other ID.

Yeah, I guess that could be a thing for old people, too, but at least it's something.
I cannot remember what I had to do when I voted last in Texas, because I am sad to say I have not voted in the last 2 local elections. I would not be surprised to be asked for blood or a retinal scan or even a bible test. I tend to just always take my current voter registration and driver's license in my hand so I can wave them around.

Yes, and in Brooklyn they ask for ID as well (mainly just to avoid asking "How do you spell that?" a million times a day).
But when I went to vote for the first time after I got married, and I automatically signed my new name (so the signatures didn't even match a little bit), they just said "Um...could you sign again and make it look like the old one?" So it's not exactly a secure system.
I am in the process of writing an email and trying to put all my slide deck instincts into it.
First result? Fucking massive email.
Oh, well.
