Phlegmish posted:That tiny county wasn't going to make the difference, but I'm stil lolling yea it means nothing but it's really funny that they went so hard on suppression they shot themselves in the foot too COVID-420 posted:Beaten on "Susan was a radical abolitionist and socialist" but I'd also like to say: your paint-by-numbers online cynicism is as ignorant as it is irritating. Dude Anthony literally told Fredrick Douglas to not go on a stage with her and other white suffragettes, despite him being a founding member of their group with her, because it would 'look inappropriate' and opposed the 15th amendment before then trying to sell women's suffrage on the idea that white women's votes would drown out black men. She wasn't some fuckin klan member but she was absolutely one of the faction that treated 'suffrage for white women and black women' as two different goals with two different priority rankings.

Walked right into the polling place and poked a moon machine with a q-tip to say gently caress you to Trump AND Lindsay Graham. Civic duty never felt so good. Covid edit: Everyone was masked up and the poll workers all wore gloves. bij fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Nov 3, 2020 |

SourKraut posted:Plus, if Florida is anything like AZ (which I assume it is), the older crowd that would be heavily Republican, seem to vote right away early in the morning, while a lot of those who'd vote Democrat and didn't do early voting, will probably vote in the afternoon/early evening once off of work. South Florida, including Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and West Palm: Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties Tampa area: Hillsborough, Pinellas county Jacksonville: Duval county Orlando: Orange county If you see a big blue dot in north central FL, that's Alachua county, which gets a honorable mention (it's where UF is located).

hanales posted:Is it? There’s no signs on the polling booth to tell me that. I do it every time I vote. I live in Cleveland for the record. Doesn't need to be signs. I didn't find the actually law, but a quick google search shows several reputable sources that all include Ohio as one of the states where it is illegal to share a picture of a filled in ballot. https://www.cleveland.com/metro/201...er_selfies.html Doesn't seem like there is any appetite to enforce it, and the law itself is really vague and poorly worded. So, just go ahead an privately enjoy your act of civil disobedience. edit: Found it: https://codes.ohio.gov/orc/3599.20v1 You aren't supposed to show a marked ballot indicating how you are going to vote. So that includes sharing a ballot selfie. Grayly Squirrel fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Nov 3, 2020 |

luxury handset posted:90% of the time in cases like this it's the poll workers loving up somehow. they tend to be older folks volunteering their time so you're counting on boomers who type full urls into the google search bar to set up all the machines I can believe that, I just don't get how it takes so long to fix/there are no contingency plans...unless polls only just opened in Texas? Over here in Flanders (Herent) I had to help organize a polling station for the municipal elections of 2018, we obviously had to set up the machines before voting started, and the procedure involved a few test votes to make sure everything worked correctly.

ReidRansom posted:Out of curiosity, to anyone who is voting today: why today and not like, two weeks ago by mail or early or whatever other method? It was this for me: Eric Cantonese posted:I think DeJoy's USPS shenanigans really scared some people. Also, for places like Pennsylvania with the ridiculous extra privacy envelope and "need to bring in your mail-in ballot to the election place void it if you vote in person" hurdles, I think I'd have just gone in person on Election Day too if I wasn't able to stick my ballot in the mailbox 3 weeks or so in advance.

Seven Hundred Bee posted:you can get shake shack in DC now why are you still eating five guys Shake Shack double, plus cheesy curly fries, and Black & White milkshake is the way to go. It's going to be a stressful day today so if you're going to stress eat just go all out. Also for the DMV goons, consider some delicious Korean Fried Chicken. I'm getting the red hot and curry chicken from this place tonight. https://www.cmchicken.us/

sit on my Facebook posted:Five Guys is the single most overrated burger, don't @ me Seven Hundred Bee posted:you can get shake shack in DC now why are you still eating five guys 75% of the reason you go to Five Guys is for cajun fries. Shake Shack is probably the best on burgers alone. I have recently become an In-n-Out convert though. When I first went to an In-n-Out in Arizona, it was complete garbage and I had no idea how people could ever compare it to Shake Shack, but then I tried a location in LA, and it was fantastic. Embarrassingly poor fries - but great burgers.

Alctel posted:Having voting machines and not just a paper ballot/box is unfathomable to me as a non american. Like, why? I don't think you understand. Over 90% of US States mandate a paper ballot that then gets inserted into and counted by a machine and saved in case you need a recount. It's not punching keys on an election machine.

It's not punching keys on an election machine. This varies county to county. In Amherst County (rural county in VA) I voted on a touchscreen machine. Even let me "write in" Mickey Mouse with my finger for the races that just had a Republican running unopposed. In Richmond I vote on paper and it gets counted by machine.

It's not punching keys on an election machine. Over here I press some buttons on a touchscreen, a piece of paper with the results comes out, and then that piece of paper also gets scanned and saved separately. This subject came up a while ago, and I remember being surprised that there were apparently so many Western countries where electronic voting isn't widespread. My first election was in 2009, it was already electronic, I never gave it much thought.

As a vegetarian, shake shack's mushroom burger is off the wall amazing. Gold standard. But their fries are garbage. Five guys does a very good grilled cheese and has the best fries in all of fast food.

OwlFancier posted:It is bizzare to me from a security perspective to have ballots that are 1. electronic and 2. secret. Most electronic voting procedures involve a physical component in case something goes wrong and a recount is needed, as explained by Murgos and myself. To be honest, I don't think it even makes a difference in that regard, if your democratic culture is so weak that the people in charge are in a position and willing to tamper with the results on a massive scale (without fearing a backlash), then it was going to happen regardless of voting method. I don't think Putin will stop winning elections if Russia suddenly switched away from whatever it is they mostly do now.

Phlegmish posted:I have never voted on paper in my life, and I'm definitely not American Counting a ballot box takes literally an hour or two, I did it this year as an election official. It's also witnessed by scrutineers from each party so it's impossible to throw and there's an unbroken chain of ownership on the ballots Simple = good in this case and it makes it way easier to have polling stations everywhere.

torgo posted:Based on how terrible 2016 was, I have a plan for this election. I have access to a nice bit of secluded land, where I will hike in a bit and spend the day listening to music and reading a book. If I get a phone signal there at all, it will only be voice calls. No mobile data, no notifications. You’ll be back. They always come back

OwlFancier posted:It is bizzare to me from a security perspective to have ballots that are 1. electronic and 2. secret. As a massive IT nerd I know this can absolutely be done. I just have zero confidence that a million+ local governments can pull it off without a strong central authority coming in and doing it in a sensible, non partisan, and not done by the lowest bidder way. And even then I have my doubts.
