Plus here in Washington we don't vote in person anymore. So really anyone could steal your ballot and complete it. I think in theory your signature on the outside of the envelope is supposed to match what's on file, but I don't know how they look at that.

So really anyone could steal your ballot and complete it.

But no one is going to be able to steal enough ballots to have it be statistically significant, right?

I mean, I get that it is bullshit, but it seems like the fact that it is bullshit should be self evident to anyone who has voted (in NYS, at least). I am assuming other non-ID states have some measures in place that mean you can't just go from place to place voting willy nilly!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I assume he is having back to school anxiety coupled with just morning grumpiness and a whole bag of pre-teen I don't wannas.

Too bad his momma has a giant case of I don't cares and a side order of - we've done this for 7 years, straighten the FUCK UP.

I just had to go run an errand for work that took me right by the house so I stopped in to give him another chance to get dressed and come with me. Hells no. He had been up, enough to lock the interior doors and let the dog in. I left telling him that he would be alone for at least 2 more hours and if the dog peed or pooped, he was responsible for cleaning it up.

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

Oh, mac.

If you are going to watch youtube vids, at least use your headphones. I don't need to hear it down the hall.

I have a lot to do in the next 4 days. Unfortunately, a lot of it is waiting on other people who lack a sense of urgency.

Which they'll probably discover too late for me to oblige them.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

In Minnesota, you go up to the table, they check your name & address in the book, and you sign. I don't think the book has a copy of the signature to match it against. They also do same day registration, wherein they ask for something like a utility bill with your name and address on it, a photo ID, or you can be vouched for by someone in that precinct who is already registered. So the first time I went to vote here after moving in with Daniel, he vouched for me, and I showed them nothing other than myself and my desire to vote. So in this case, in order to vote fraudulently, someone would have to have the cooperation of another person from the neighborhood. Yeah, it could be done, but this is not the way large-scale voting fraud gets accomplished.

Ugh, msbelle, not a way to start the week. I feel like my older brother was like that as an early teen. Also, very grumpy and he couldn't gain any weight. For a long time they thought he was just being a normal asshole teen but it turns out he had a thyroid disorder. He was not a pleasant person to live with for a few years there.

I did not have a body suit in the 90s I'm pretty sure...no...I had one silver ones but I don't think I ever figured out what to wear it with.

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

I tried on a bodysuit once...it did not go well, and I did not do it again. I looked like a sad fat clown.

Uh... not that I was that easy to live with as a teen! He was worse than me, though.

Our wings are not tired.

Good grief, Mac! You really could make better decisions.

Heh. That is pretty much what I said to my mother -- It wouldn't be my choice, but you can wear whatever you want to your mother's funeral!

I went out with my sisters and bought a new dress for my dad's funeral. Pretty grey and yellow thing. Problem was I never could wear it again without remembering the reason I bought it. Since then I just wear something I already own to avoid the associations.

The last however many years I have either shown my voter id card or my license. The book has my prior signature that the voter checker person checks out.
