Shooting Blanks posted:First edition "I voted" stickers from each election are worth more in the secondary market. VVVVV Edit to skip posting again VVVVVV Have Some Flowers! posted:What is even the point of doing this if there's no sticker?! That's not what I meant, but I was just pointing out that stickers do serve an important function. I would even argue that seeing your friends with the I voted sticker work better than celebrity PSAs for raising awareness about voting. I'm not going to get into a derail about stickers, but they do serve an important function. That's all. All I'm saying is it would be nice if they gave them out to people who did the mail in voting. You're welcome to disagree. Bioshuffle fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Oct 14, 2020 |

Voting at the AT&T Center gives you Spurs themed voted stickers so obviously I am going there.

Been at the Unity Church early polling location in Houston for 20 minutes now and the line hasn't moved except for people ahead of me giving up bc of all the flies/ants. I'm giving it another 10 then doing so myself. I have a day off next week but no idea how hourly workers cope. Pretty sure no straight ticket voting + slow Bush-era rotary machines are gonna eke this out for Rs.

I actually wonder if all the Harris county drama making national headlines is going to backfire for the R's and everyone makes drat sure to get their vote out ahead of time. Seems like it could be that way so far? E: Voted this morning and I did a manual straight ticket speedrun and got done with the ballot in no more than 3 minutes.

I think it's a lot of things, Harris Co. is part of it but it's also the national stuff and this is going on in just about every Republican state. As for if it's working to increase turnout, well I think we can see that's clear.

Waited in a relatively short line (maybe 20-30 minutes) to vote today. All but 3 people in line were wearing masks the whole time. The 3 without were assholes holding masks that seemed like they wanted someone to say something to them. Outside of my roommate, me, and the maskless people; everyone else in lined looked to be older than 50. I can't understand going maskless in public much less doing so around the elderly while you have a mask on you.

I was wondering if the first day would just be super frontloaded because people just want to get this done but it's still going https://twitter.com/zachdespart/status/1316433275251052548 Someone pointed out that the more people that vote early, the more votes are already banked for the candidate that's polling in the lead, so late breaking developments, like say, oh I don't know, a dump of hacked emails as the pretext for a sham congressional investigation have a blunted effect.

Ended up taking about an even hour. They were making people wear finger condoms but not masks (there was only one guy not wearing one, and one more guy wearing it on his chin)

Shifty Pony posted:+22577 Mail ballots received. Greater than the total number of mail ballots cast in 2016 (20090). Based on the 2016 pattern for Travis County, there's a big dropoff in the number of voters on Saturday and Sunday. I'll probably wait until then.

If you vote the first day, you don't have to worry about something going wrong later. Although in the back of my head, I still have a worry that somehow a big chunk of early votes will somehow be invalidated.

Did drive thru voting (Harris county, Pasadena) and it was quite pleasant being in the car while waiting to vote. Took about 20 minutes and there is never a line to vote here during early voting. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/Texas-surpassed-1-million-votes-on-first-day-of-15647238.php quote:More than a million Texans have already cast ballots after just the first day of early voting. b0ng fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Oct 14, 2020 |

New Texas rule lets social workers turn away clients who are LGBTQ or have a disability https://www.texastribune.org/2020/10/14/texas-social-workers-rule-discrimination-lgbt-disabilities Thanks, Abbott. I just feel salty that I'm not allowed to send my liberal male work colleagues who voted for Abbott a link to stuff like this and reminding they bragged about voting for Abbott because he's "good at governing".

Oh, also this was posted on the inside of a window facing in to the hallway where the voting queue was in the county building where I voted today. I complained. They say they're looking into it, are I sincerely hope they actually are, because that's a big load of crazy even for religion.

Voted this afternoon in Collin County, the library I visited had a line of ~20 people out the door but it moved pretty fast. The inside of the polling place was surprisingly loud, tons of people talking at once giving instructions and that sort of thing. The county election tracker seemed pretty accurate but nobody must be using it. My usual location showed hour+ wait times all day and I drove past it twice this afternoon and people indeed were backed out onto the sidewalk each time. Not sure why folks insisted on voting there instead of going to any of the dozens of other polling places
