I did it again. I signed up to do election protection work on election day in Columbus, OH

6:00 AM to 7:30 PM ..... long ass day. We are gonna turn OH blue. No matter how many pick up
truck parades Trump has .... BTW those truck parades are great because they show Donny is out of
money,

And I will be outside and it is really boring so please send some proud boys or some
boogaloo bois to where I will be working. We will have people ready to deal with them.

I've done Election Protection a few times, and it's great. Here's my DU post yesterday extolling its virtues: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214349811

This year, however, I am TOTALLY PARTISAN and will be working for Joe and Kamala at the polls as an observer.

Good luck and turn Iowa blue. I wonder how many farmers who crushed by Trump's

the head poll worker always looked to me to vouch for newish voters’ residency and I got to see most my neighbors voting blue.

Now it’s not as much fun with voter ID requirements and consolidated voting locations.

about those boys, and bois. They're like their leader...one look at a strong, confident, woman and they head for the hills. Good luck. I'm a star-gazer, and believe me when I say the whole damn universe thanks you.
