Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

Poll worker here. Not a big surprise in a red state, trump leads by huge margins. We saw large numbers of first time voters of all ages.
We were about the smallest precinct in the county, and had record numbers. Nonstop voters, we couldn't even stop for breaks. My feet hurt so bad....
Good news, we instituted "poll sheriffs", basically crowd management. Helped a lot with queueing, though everyone was pleasant so kind of overkill for us.
But they also checked id's, then sent voters to check in, who also checked id's, did signature checks, then sent to us, and we did checks before we set them up.
The machines we used weren't dominion, and did paper receipts, stubs for count comparison, and printed a backup physical copy of each vote that the voter was able to physically check as it printed. So cool.
