I still haven't gotten my stickers that I ordered the day Kamala was announced as VP. I really want one to go beside my Jaime Harrison sticker on my car. I just donated to Jaime Harrison!

Wow. Didn’t exactly expect an all out endorsement here. I’ll take it.

I got my first text from the WisDems! I told them I was definitely supporting Joe and I already had my absentee ballot, and yes I know I need a witness. I also thanked them for text banking. Because I know how much you ladies have said that it cheers you up to have positive interactions. I figured I’d give them a morale boost to keep text banking away since I don’t have time to help out right now myself.

Good news out of Wisconsin. My place of work is planning a post-election virtual convening and they picked 11/6 as a date. I said “hopefully we know by then” and people laughed and I said “no seriously.”

^^^ That might have sounded weird if you didn’t know you have to have a witness sign your absentee ballot here in WI lol. When I was doing calls for North Carolina yesterday that was one of the main points we were hitting. No one was aware. Yikes. They said the number one reason ballots are getting rejected there is because a lack of witness information/signature. There’s also an issue of what signature the state of NC is matching your ballot signature to. Your drivers license? Your ballot request? Do you need a middle initial? One of the women on my local liberal ladies page only goes by her initials, but she was told to sign her entire name. At first in my county it was a large majority of black votes being rejected, but as of late it’s switched to being white women over 50. We also needed to have the ballot notarized until this election. So I guess there’s a large percentage of usual absentee voters who are showing up at banks/ UPS for it to be notarized, only to be told they could have simply mailed it in. That’s going to be an issue when it gets closer to 11/3 if people still think they need it notarized, so they just don’t bother mailing their ballot.

I’m calling again on Sunday so I’ll be sure to help talk to people about this. With all the state confusion I thing I might just stick to one state.

Joe just now "I'd make sure the AG understood his oath of office"
talking about being asked about prosecuting 45, he states, hes going to leave it to the Justice Dept because it shouldn't be politicized.

I don’t get why these Republican Senators in tight races are falling all over themselves to declare they will confirm Trump’s pick. They know it will cost them their senate seat. Do they not care? Is it blackmail? The cult? Do they have a cushy lobbyist job lined up? I don’t get it. Why not just say nothing and conform during the vote? We all know they will, but why make things worse for themselves? Cory Gardner is loosing his race by 10+ points, so yes he is hoping for a lobbyist job and to stay in the good graces of the GOP.

This is the answer I look for when it comes to this question.

H and I were watching that news conference and looked at each other and asked, "the fuck did he just say??" And then, "soooooo you think New Zealand will take us?"

I don’t get how this doesn’t terrify the average person. we’ve been talking about this possibility here so it’s actually not that shocking to me. But joe and Jane smith hearing that have to be what the fuck.

He's openly saying that he doesn't want to count the ballots. I never thought I'd be here for the fall of American Democracy. And yet here we are.

I legitimately called my mom tonight freaking out. Like trying to figure out if there were any other countries I could claim citizenship in. ( the closest is Poland. That’s not helpful)

That’s not helpful) H keeps trying to downplay my worries. He has been since 2016, but he's starting to catch it too. I think the closest we could claim would be Germany, and that's 3 generations back.. so...

The third tweet in the thread stuck with me. He has done so many illegal actions that he knows jail or charges will come soon after he leaves office.

I saw Mitt had an instant comment on Twitter about this issue. Where the fuck is his alternate universe that he thinks he can tweet “concern” over this but yet be ok with the Supreme Court vote? 45 flat out said he wants a Supreme Court that is in support of him for the inevitable election dispute.
