There's a breed called the Chinook that was created by breeding Huskies and mastiffs.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

Our wings are not tired.
Plus as somebody just reminded me, they automatically opened the curtain behind you when the vote was registered and the tumblers reset. A very dramatic flourish.
So true! My first votes in NY were the lever machines with the automatic curtain. It was fun, but I have more confidence in the optical reader ballots. Paper backup, no chads.

Ann, that's a ferret.
When do polls start to close? Or is that going to be iffy due to long lines?
Parts of IN and KY close at 6:00 Eastern. I doubt any results will be available until 7:00, when the rest of those states (along with 5 others, including VA, SC, GA, FL, and VT) close. I suspect serious results will start coming in after NC, WV, and OH close at 7:30.

So some results will start showing up when I get off work. Will they release the early vote results at poll close?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Voted this morning before I went to work. We have the paper ballots where you fill in the bubbles and then scan it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I wish there was an option for optical scan during early voting here, but it's all touchscreen until election day. There is a receipt tape hard copy in the machine though.
This morning when I opened the coat closet to get my shoes I was actually frozen in surprise for several seconds while I kept thinking, "That is not a toy" over and over. My cats have many, many toy mice. The one I was looking at was much smaller and waaaay too detailed. And dead. I suspect the cats played it to death and accidentally batted it under the door.

We should have curtains. Automatic or not.
Oh my, aurelia! Glad you were not so fuzzled by sleep that you picked it up and put it with the toys before you realized...

That's kind of awesome, Sophia. Surely you could flag down someone going to Susan B's grave and have them give you a ride to the polls, if necessary?

I always need red pandas, but I'm about ready to start 36 hours of being a facilitator / camp counselor at a hackathon, so I will have no screen time until Thursday. Probably no me time either. It's going to take every ounce of extraversion I can find.
But it will distract me!
