Her opponent was originally from OREGON!!

Now that’s political malpractice. She should have said her opponent was originally from california.

I tried donating to the Anti-Cilantro League of Women Voters but I can’t find their website.

Check which party Jill Stein is fronting this year.

I know and I would be more gobsmacked except they already stunned me when they started putting up memorials for George Floyd and the rest of the murdered black Americans and Highland Park High School got all up in it - that knocked the breath out of me.

I believe the current transitive evaluation among math-logic challenged mouth-breathers is Oregon = Portland, Portland = AntiFa therefore Oregon = AntiFa.

@filmknight

Television Ads are most effective the week before the election.

Yes, the exception being when your opponent is relatively unkown and you want to jump into the vaccuum and define him before he can tell the public who he is.

OT again, but when it rains, it pours.

.

After already having been indicted in Michigan for a robocall scheme to intimidate urban-area voters with misinformation, Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have now been indicted in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, for the same scheme.

Oooh, Buetler makes me so mad! Last time she ran she claimed to be a nice suburban mom who knows how important healthcare is. The she voted against it along with the rest of the GOP.

Just be hateful from the get go like McMorris-Rodgers over in Spokane.

Fixed the link in both posts. Thanks for the heads up.

Election Day a national holiday

That works! As long as we all don’t go to the beach! (until after we vote)

Why not a polling station AT the beach?

Sort of OT: The house across the road from where my horse lives put up a huge Trump flag last week. Until today, it was mostly wrapped around the tree they attached it to. Today, it unfurled to read:
TRUMP 2020
No More Bullshit

I nearly wet my pants laughing.

Ignorance is as contagious as Covid.

Why not indeed?

@meri

Ehh. I can kind of get it.

15 million in June for GOTV/registration drive could have done a lot.
But, yeah, late drop for TV will reach undecideds and could make a significant difference.

[kenga]

Well, there’s the nihilist vote, too.

@cub_calloway

You don’t have to be white to be a racist.

Well, to be (ETA) racially bigoted, no, one need not be white in the USA.
But racism is in part institutional inertia and structure, as well as a personal attitude and belief. (Buttressed by institutional power.)

@21zna9

I do the exact same thing.

I am not so sanguine as to not want to know what my (potential) enemies may be encouraging my fellow countrypersons to believe/value/desire.

Also, it can be fun to deconstruct advertising in public.

@cub_calloway

But making Election Day a national holiday would be easy, irrefutable and a big boost to turnout.

Need some leverage to encourage states to follow suit.

[cub_calloway]

Closing down all federal offices has a remarkable effect.

[kenga]

Yes, true. It’d be nice to be able to mandate that any voter who has to work (or may be required what with scheduling uncertainty) on Election Day is automatically eligible to vote absentee. But that may be a state prerogative, I am not sure.

While I am wishing, maybe tie some federal funding to redistributing voting equipment and physical polling locations such that districts with long waits get additional resources from districts without long waits the following election.
