mail in the us is run by a federal agency (USPS) and they are specifically required to always deliver a ballot, regardless of whether it has postage on it. if the ballot doesn't have enough postage, they deliver it anyway and then send a bill to the appropriate local election entity

I think refusing delivery of ballots without stamps was ruled a poll tax. Maybe that was just in Washington and not Oregon though?

washington just started doing pre paid postage on ballots

they also have drop boxes where you can leave them and they’ll be picked up

The senate was chock full of races that were super unfavorable to the democrats, and the good thing is that a lot of poo poo-rear end democrats are now gone.

Sadly there's new poo poo-rear end democrats cause there always is

PEC was huge in D&D, probably because he was the "Princeton guy." He's real bad at doing any actual predictions, of course, but that's never really been something that "matters" to most people. He's got credentials!!!

Lol he was the guy i relied on to say trump wouldnt win to my coworkers. Luckily everyone at the office got ptsd so hard from trump winning that i think they forgot.

Sinema didn't just materialize out of the aether, she's served 3 terms in the House. She's a pretty terrible Blue Dog. In the Senate she'll never be as awful as Manchin, which is probably not even possible.

No, because her track record both in the state and in the House are absolute dogshit and it's unlikely she's gonna change.

She ran on being a bipartisan compromiser who voted for additional border funding, including the wall, and Medicare Extra buy in poo poo, so not fully, but close enough.

sinema is bad but she’s a total weathervane. she’ll never defy leadership on any important vote. so gently caress it, who cares. also as bad as she is and jacky rosen too, neither is as bad as Donnelly and mccaskill were.

Maybe if we're lucky she'll hit her head and we get 2003 Kyrsten Sinema back

quote:

Sinema made the comments in an appearance on libertarian Ernest Hancock’s radio show on Valentine’s Day, 2003, a day before she helped organize an anti-war rally in Phoenix’s Patriot’s Square Park that condemned “terror” perpetrated by the American military in the Middle East.

“As an individual, if I want to go fight in the Taliban army, I go over there and I’m fighting for the Taliban. I’m saying that’s a personal decision,” Hancock remarked during his show.

“Fine,” Sinema said, “I don’t care if you want to do that, go ahead.”
