In case you're wondering, the polls were slammed at 2:00.

Things to remember:

  • Have ID ready
  • Stay in line
  • If you're still in line at 8:00 and stay there, you still get a ballot
  • If there's a problem, ask for a provisional ballot, don't let them make you give up
  • DO NOT, under any circumstances, take a ballot photo/selfie!

I voted today! Here's my sticker to prove it.

It wasn't easy. Before walking to vote, I checked the county clerk's website to make sure that our polling place hadn't changed. They listed the usual location, but when we got there, it was closed & locked. I think they couldn't find enough judges, & they hadn't updated the website. We called the public , & they said we could vote there, so we did.

I hope that the bad info didn't suppress the vote.

A circular white sticker that says “I voted” at the top and capital letters with three red stars above it. In the middle it says “I voted” in seven different languages. Beneath that are illustrations of voters of all colors.

"New bill proposes repealing vote-by-mail in Oregon, public invited to testify"

koin.com/news/politics/new-bil

It looks like this bill would make in-person voting default and folks would need to request mail ballots. Our current system sends out all ballots by mail automatically.

There's a 48 hour window to submit a public comment:

I don't know how much support this bill has but I wrote comment opposing it just in case.

"Three weeks after U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner’s death and just over a month before the state’s next uniform election, Gov. Greg Abbott has not yet called a special election to fill the seat representing parts of Houston, a Democratic stronghold, in Congress."

About 773,000 Houstonians will have no representation in Congress for about a year 🤬
