Really, everyone should just use "rear end in a top hat" all the time because it's the only non-gendered, non-racial, non-people with mental disabilities insult that gets across exactly what it needs to and has a pretty good range of 'mild disgust' to 'hatred of a billion suns'. Vote for rear end in a top hat.

No and no. It's a regular day at most businesses. Most states (including Alabama) have some form of law requiring at least some time off to vote, but restrictions vary state to state. Some states don't have laws about it at all.

In Alabama an employer must give you one hour to go vote if polls are not open at least two hours before your shift starts or one hour after it ends. Employees must give notice they need to vote. This is not a paid break.

Yeah, technically everywhere is supposed to give you time off to vote. Your employer can't explicitly tell you you CANT go vote, but they don't have to make it easy.

is mail in vote not a thing in every state?

No. It is not.

I voted by mail in the election last year here in Texas, but my mail-in ballot couldn't be sent to my home address in the county where I live, because that assumes I'm there and could meander my way down to vote in person, even though I was leaving a month before the election to spend two months a thousand miles out at sea. So I had to have my ballot sent to my parents in anther part of the state and then they send it on back to me. When I complained about this to my state representative and senator, one of their offices told me "well, if anything we want to make it harder still to vote". hosed up.

Also it's just one hour, so you better have reliable transportation BACK to your home area to vote, then back to work. And gently caress you if the commute is too long!

Nah. Given the fact that the turtle was all about holding up Merrick Garland for a year because he claimed traditional process wouldn't serve the voice of the American people, I think it's pretty fair to say that the jerk only observes norms when they directly suit him. The voice of the American people should prevent Strange from casting a vote for either Jones or Moore by McConnell's logic, but of course, that isn't expedient towards today's objective so yesterday's arguments are loooong forgotten.

Umm again, read the article. All for making GBS threads on McConnell but that's not how the senate works. He can't unilaterally decide when someone in sworn in.

Serious question: Do they shut stuff down and people know to like, grocery shop the day before? Or do they overstaff everywhere so people can leave to go vote?

I've always wondered the logistics of things like that. Like in the US even gas stations and some restaurants are open on like, christmas day and other days people are all expected to "have off". I can't imagine a completely shut down day annually.

stuff gets somewhat shut down. i'm sorry, i forget the law's specifics, but there's time off to go vote (if you're voting and don't want to pay the fine).

tt's an extremely simple system:
- no alcohol sales the day before (i think it's stupid but whatever)
- everyone in the country is as registered to vote as much as they're registered as citizens
- go loving vote

the day itself isn't a big deal. employers have to go vote as much as their employees.

Here in Australia you can place a vote before the actual Saturday at many places throughout most cities, including by post. Also, only the most dickish employers wouldn't let their employees take half an hour out of their day to go vote.
