Don't forget, the Democratic party didn't exist when the Constitution was signed. So when the Originalist Militias march leftists into the camps, that'll be the rationale!

FrozenVent posted:The people who voted Lamb are gonna vote Blue No Matter Who. I know that’s why it’s important to make sure they vote in November. Mass voter participation in Philadelphia can be a huge cudgel to the idiot parts of the state. My concern is that even though they’re two top ticket races in Pennsylvania, it’s still an off year in terms of no presidential election. I guess my concern isn’t so much convincing people in Philadelphia to vote for Fetterman then, it’s just encouraging high turn out. Cyks posted:Did you mean Kenyatta? Fetterman has 20k more votes in Philadelphia over Lamb. Holy gently caress I misread that last night, but so much the better Kenyatta promptly endorsed him and offered to help.  I cannot believe I mixed that up last night. But it was Fetterman’s lowest share of I think anywhere in the state.

Last I checked/saw, Fetterman clearly blew everyone out, but his percentage of the black democratic vote is kinda on the low side, so he has some work to do to turn them out. But, still hilarious how the establishment lined up behind Lamb and he got blown the gently caress out. That said, Pennsylvania has some serious lol voting issues: https://twitter.com/blakehounshell/status/1527104664843472898?t=T9wIDYqZFzjlsmoZq5V2qw&s=19 Granted as a basic poll worker, my job is to basically say "hey precinct captain, what do you need to close this stuff out" and they're *supposed* to know what they're doing. Looks like they *all* whoopsied and then created time for Donnie to yammer on about voter fraud because the Oz margin is dwindling as the late votes get counted. And of course, shitloads of states refused to allow pre-processing of mail votes just so Donnie can tell fraud some more.

There were a lot of states that just used touchscreen balloting and ZERO paper trail was generated at all. https://youtu.be/EV_c1-YTk8M But, now there are complete MAGA chud idiots demanding vote results by the end of voting night, while also banning the use of vote counting machines, while banning pre-processing of mailed ballots (or outright banning them). And then there's the other extreme with New York State, which is so thoroughly infested with patronage hires in the election system that results typically take 2-3 weeks (on the low-side) to process.

Donald is the embodiment of the 80s businessman. While we all understand what a loser that makes him, some people actually want 80s businessman, whether it be due to Reagan nostalgia or a love of the "good old times before PC". Some people really want Tony Stark to exist in real life. Elon is the closest thing we have in that he embodies all of Stark's flaws and looks technology adjacent. Never mind that Elon doesn't even have Stark's good points like being a brilliant engineer. They've learned to love a fictional archetype that's already really flawed, so they latch on to a real human who happens to be even worse person by a big margin.

Almost every single clerk, ballot officer and judge are elderly and absolutely incapable of learning anything new. And I mean anything. I basically had to be IT support for the multiple precincts voting at my location and honestly voters aren't much better. Imagine your racist uncle and meemaw getting together at five am at McDonald's for coffee. Now give them ten minutes to set up a printer and scanner for the first time in their lives.

If you don't have one, figure out which agency handles polling in your area and contact them. They always need people. You'll have to sit through training videos and may or may not have to submit to a background check.

Contact your local political party of choice as well, at least in Colorado, they provide poll watchers and workers, and assist with counting ballots. The County Clerk is supposed to draw from a pool of volunteers and more or less have an equal amount of R's and D's, sometimes that works, most of the time it doesn't. Locally, I've worked as a poll watcher and counter ballots, I would like to work an election, but lol at the time requirements. There is a reason only old people work elections.

One of those assholes (Alito I think?) has been specifically gunning for Chevron for a long rear end time. Its the perfect mix of insidious poo poo to basically destroy government as we know it by making laws as we know them unenforceable against anyone/anything with enough money while everyone else gets locked up with fifteen seconds to talk to their public defender before losing their case. You know, the Republican project. Whichever one it is word vomits some verbal diarrhea about what's in the constitution as a fig leaf but it's the same poo poo where they pretend to be perfectly blind every time someone points out the impact of their decision then go right ahead and do what they want for the end result they want.

What's funny is that deferring to executive-administered agencies for policy decisions and enforcement was originally a Conservative push back in the 70s and 80s as a way to undermine and replace the New Deal and Great Society policies. Congress was still largely Democrat-controlled up through the 90s, so the general idea was to transfer authority over to executive agencies that could be more easily swayed towards business / conservative friendly positions through appointments and staffing versus trying to directly roll back liberal legislation. With Conservative control of the Supreme Court achieved the previous strategy has served its purpose and can now be dismantled to prevent a liberal or progressive administration from leveraging executive agency powers against Conservatism.

Yeah around here (75% Biden district, 55% trump voters on E-Day) the exact job is called "Election Inspector" and we're the check-in people, we spoil ballots, run the IDs, track the affidavits, etc. Should be rephrased to "Election Worker" since we work directly for the city. Ballot counters/preppers/etc for the big city stuff (centralized locations in Detroit, Philly, etc) are a different deal. The standard workers like me have to show up for a two hour PowerPoint on everything (most of it the captain does), then election day is an 11-hour day for $195, raised up to $245 for the pandemic. Had zero olds working the polls for my two elections, likely pandemic-related. Need both Ds/Rs/Is per site as there's stuff to sign and if a voter needs ballot-filling help, different party people have to both be there. At the end of the day, the scanner spits out a tape with the numbers on it, a USB drive is created, then we crack open the machine to organize all the ballots (since it's a true mess in there). Never had a party challenger there loving with things, but did have some chuddy old fucks show up decked in MAGA crap (technically against rules, we were supposed to turn them around). We let them through to keep things quiet and orderly, while giggling "hmm, wonder who they voted for" to ourselves. I'm a civic sap, so I loving loved the work and I'll happily burn the vacation time for it.

In the brave new world we're entering I wouldn't work a polling place without body armor and a guarantee of anonymity for my family. These fascist fucks are absolutely going to start killing people over the Stop The Steal rhetoric. By the numbers its probably not that dangerous a job, they'll want to maintain the absurd fig leaf of a democracy they'll have destroyed. It's a dice roll I wouldn't be comfortable with though. There will be examples made somewhere and I'm a pessimist so I'd expect it to be me.
