Today's voting wasn't at my usual polling place, but at another location nearby. I expect they combine several districts when it's smaller than a presidential election.
Parking was easy. Getting in one of the lines was easy. There was only one person in line ahead of me. When I got to the table I handed over my license and she looked me up in the computer, then asked me to verify my name and address. I had to sign on a digital pad and she scanned the code on the back of my license. Then she gave me a little slip with my ballot type, ward number, and voter number (not sure what's up with that)...
I then took that slip to the next line, which was longer but moving at a decent pace. There I got my ballot and ball point pen and was told to fill out only as much as I can and only the first side, and instructed to send it into the machine afterward. Behind those tables and lines were signs ("observers") and about 4 people just standing back there watching the check-in and ballot-giving processes
Off to the side were 10 folding table style voting booths, six in the far row and four closest to the lines. Three were wide open when I selected mine. I filled in all my little circles and proceeded to the ballot swallowing machine. The lady said it didn't matter which way I entered it, but she had me stay after it went in to make sure the vote count displayed on the screen increased by one, and it did.
All in all, I left, voted, and made it back home in less than half an hour. The ladies handing out ballots said it's been very busy. I said that's good
Now we wait...
I once saw a video by this guy's son, claiming he's a fake and a quack and way deep in scientology. I don't know if that's true or not and, honestly, don't much care.
I also am not in total agreement with his dietary views as he is very much a proponent of carnivorism while I am vegetarian, BUT
...other than those things, I really like his stuff and think it would be a benefit to have him working with Bobby somehow!
So. There is a rumor among liberal circles that goes something like Elon is settling a lawsuit by Trump over his twitter ban years ago to the tune of ten mil. Anyone know anything about this? They're trying to claim laundering/bribery, and that little X told trump to be quiet and that he isn't the president, etc.
Yes, but the specific video in the link was removed. I watched it a gazillion times, responded to a text, went back to copy the link and just like that it was removed. After that all I could find was the blurred version
Damn it. I should have looked more closely. 😔 I flipped it over and glanced to make sure I heard correctly about "only the front", and there was nothing on the back for voters. In the bottom, I don't know, maybe fifth? of the page was an outline box with print and lines and boxes, but it was 'official' type stuff and I didn't bother to see what. (I think maybe district/ward stuff like my slip?) I just wanted to get out of the public and home to my solitude
