I am cynically wondering if the confusing wording and messaging confused the "wrong" voters.

I have checked off everything on the to do list I made yesterday for today except making a phone call. I am putting that off because (a) phone call and (b) the person who asked me to call him should be on a call with someone else right now so I feel pretty justified but I will have to do it at some point. Why can't we just email, my dude?

And phone call accomplished. I asked him to call me, that was somehow easier.

I'd like to think the postcards I sent made the difference.
Clearly.

DH said the same thing this morning.
I have done many oneri today (my word for onerous tasks), but I've still got some bills to pay, so... I guess that's next.
Except I didn't eat lunch.
New plan. Food is next.

Yes always has the advantage on referendums as many people just check yes without even reading. And clearly the postcards made the difference!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S didn't get to sleep until 10 last night, and he just had a major meltdown so I'm not sure tonight's going to go any better.

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

I think it was more that old-school conservatives don't want the government in their personal business.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I agree with Aurelia.

Also there was a huge spike in voter registration in Kansas after the SCOTUS decision and something like 70% of new voter registrations were women.
Also, hi! I just caught up on many weeks of Natter.

Hiya, shrift!
Yes, I'm hoping there is a similar spike in voter registration in other states to tip the balance.
