No Pfizer. Let them stock up on Ivermectin.
Okay, makes sense…
Well… Except… They didn’t confirm which way your ballot was counted…
We really should move to non-secret ballots, verifiable by voters and others as to how it was cast. Not only does that open the door better to payoffs for voting the “right” way, but provides a validated audit trail wherein you know that Hippie Susan never would vote for Trump, but somehow her ballot ended up in his lane.
I know all the arguments against it, would just point out that when the House or Senate votes, each Corporate Sponsor knows exactly how their corporate lackey voted. Why they get to verify how their payments worked out and we don’t…
Sorry…I was reading too quick. Were you saying the excess Dems in CA should move to Texas? Then, yes Vax up.
…And bring 6 months’ supply of Plan B.
And your preferred smoke or edible.
Meh, the smell of gunpowder is more than enough, don’t need extraneous stimulants.
That’s what statistical audits of the paper ballots are there for.
Secrecy of the ballot is an official Good Idea. All kinds of possible abuses become possible in systems where you can figure out who voted for whom.
Votes on legislation in Congress are not at all comparable.
Although it would be interesting, as an intellectual exercise at least, to consider how secrecy there might work out, too. Recalling the old Molly Ivins definition of an “honest Texas politician” as one who stays bought…
Ummmm… You do see the conflict there, I hope.
Like what folks were saying about the Senate and any chance of a secret ballot in trump’s second impeachment trial. Only problem there was that there was never a chance that a vote would stay secret, only because of the low denominator.
NBC IS CALLING IT. THE RECALL FAILED.
Fake news. Once they unskew the numbers from the illegal immigrants, Elder wins by a landslide.
(tomorrow gonna be interesting)
ETA: Guess CNFAKENEWSN just called it as well. But at the same time their live tracker changed the “no” votes from 67.7 to 67.5… WHAT ARE THEY HIDING
Nope, was talking about the fascists. They need a generator for next winter, and I gently suggested they get their two shots, but @left_in_washington_state corrected me, suggesting we give them all Ivermectin instead. I reluctantly agreed (because I guess I’m more of an asshole than I originally thought, but they do after all deserve it…)
Oh good. I did interpret it correctly. Keep in mind, they would prefer the horse paste.
Fulton County is still out. Ugh I can’t breathe!
Well, duh! These people are the folks who’d lick the baseboards if you tell them they’re painted with lead paint…
It was a complete and utter BLOWOUT … and a huge waste of money, time, and resources.
California doesn’t play nice with fascists. We just bury them with our votes and piss on their grave.
Now they’re gargling iodine. Guess it’s too much trouble to find ivermectin these days: https://boingboing.net/2021/09/14/anti-vaxxers-now-stupidly-gargling-iodine-and-using-it-as-eye-drops-to-fight-off-covid-19.html
No. Not at all
When I exercise my right to vote as a citizen, I am voting by my own damn self, in private, for nobody else, as I see best, and free of interference and pressure.
When my elected reprehensibles are voting on legislation, they are voting on my behalf and I bloody well want to see what they are doing in my name.
We use the word “vote” in both cases, but they are abso-effing-lutely not the same.
Is tonight another loss we can put in the Trump column?
Now they’re gargling iodine.
It’s going to end up with Ward’s Drop, and Lily the Pink’s Medicinal Compound.
