I wonder if more states will institute early voting for the next election cycle. I mean, if Sandy had hit this weekend instead of next, half of the East Coast wouldn't have been able to vote.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Overt voter suppression? Is that really the part of the good ol' days that they want to go back to?
Of course it is.
We can only vote here on Election Day. You have to have a good reason to vote absentee (although I'm not sure how they check).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
After Sandy, the neighbors behind me just pulled down a whole bunch of ivy that was growing on their building.
There were a whole bunch of birds that were living in the ivy. And now the view out my window is a whole lot less green. And there’s a whole lot more exposure. Sad now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Here, too. I was thinking about telling them I was leaving for UK two days before I do, so I could vote absentee.
When I got my BlackBerry Curve, I was on Virgin Mobile, and they don't use SIM cards. But it's just a BBerry, so a SIM card could be put into it, couldn't one? Very confusing.
Now I'm with Credo Mobile, and according to their website, my Galaxy cannot make calls in the UK. I'll call them tomorrow and find out for sure.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Took me about 4.5 hours to vote.

Tom, that would make me sad, too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
AND he acknowledged that a software glitch purged 33,000 voters.
Husted installed an experimental software patch on voting machines also.
WTEverlovingF?!? He should be arrested.

Oh gosh, Tom, that's a big difference.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
After Sandy, the neighbors behind me just pulled down a whole bunch of ivy that was growing on their building.
Bummer to lose all that green, but that much ivy was probably damaging the walls of that building.
Took me about 4.5 hours to vote.
Wow. I think the first time I did early voting was 3 hours, but it was in a library so there was stuff to look at. I really just need to not wait until the end of the day. I don't think wait times are that bad earlier.

Let's hope the FBI is paying attention.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm going to try to vote early Tuesday morning, before work. If that doesn't work out, though, then I'll have to drive back home in the afternoon to vote, then drive back to campus by 6 to give an exam.
