filled out our mail-in ballots and dropped them off. I don't live in Brooklyn, but I do live in a big (D) city, and given the rise of COVID cases, we didn't want to risk an extended wait in the cold. (Plus, time in the booth to fill out those 79 judicial races!).

I have a cousin that lives on the Long Island. A few weeks ago they had a trump car parade with over 9,000 vehicles. I would have never ever believed such a thing could happen there, things like this have me on edge. She said the tRumpers are literally everywhere on the island now. I just don't understand how this could happen in New York where they should know better than anyone in the country how he really is???

And who can forget Fox? Hannity himself lives there, and I’m sure other Fox talent and execs live out on LI.
