Glad I live in Montana. I voted weeks ago and know that most of the voters are serious about their representation, especially this time around. We just don't look as engaged as we are because of a small population.

I've been pretty much glued to the news for the last two years waiting for something to sink this regime. I didn't think I could hold on this long but now, I can't avert my gaze for more than an hour or two right now, and probably until the next swearing in if not the rest of my life.

legitimate reasons. In fact, I think the Library polling place was just for early voting. But don't know for sure. It is so easy to check your polling place today on-line and in that area, most people have access to phones and computers. Democratic offices will get you a ride if needed.

As per FL news, no link.

Nothing illegal or sketchy, and as you said, a Dem-heavy area, including election officials.

Ubera nd Lyft are also giving free rides.

I don't think Election Protection has used amateur volunteers at the polls here in a long time, but I was with them a long time ago, and both elections, but especially 2008, their attorneys were run off their feet trying to deal with everything. One of my locations had a neighborhood of affluent black voters sent to the wrong place.

Went to the Early voting building on election day and had to find my designated voting place - a local school. I learned my lesson that day about Early voting and where I should vote on election day. Nothing sinister about that.
