5. That's you're opinion. I happen to follow climate change in great detail.

Many of my posts on the topic are in the Science forum on this site.

What you think is serious is trivial, and what you regard as trivial is not.

The carbon dioxide that can be saved by having a person who is aware of climate change will easily dwarf the grams of carbon dioxide a drive to my Board of Elections will produce.

As for your theory that votes don't matter; that's bullshit supreme. Maybe you think you're vote doesn't matter, but mine does and I think anyone here with a brain knows would agree that there votes do matter.

This was made abundantly clear in 2000, particularly where I live where not only Bush/Gore was contested, but also my congressional seat (which Rush Holt won by a hair) and the town council (a one vote difference) were all close.

Cynicism is ugly and, frankly, under the circumstances less than moral in my opinion.

Rush Holt won when absentee ballots were counted. NNadir Aug 2020 #19

What are the odds an early mail in ballot won't be counted? Cicada Aug 2020 #20

Much higher than the odds that I'll further tolerate this silly conversation. n/t. NNadir Aug 2020 #21

We have a drop box in front of city hall here in New Haven. CTyankee Aug 2020 #8

You need to have a ballot to drop off. LisaL Aug 2020 #15

Yep. We just put our applications for absentee ballots in that box. CTyankee Aug 2020 #16

I sent my application too. LisaL Aug 2020 #17

I trust that the city of New Haven is doing the right thing here, or as best as they can. CTyankee Aug 2020 #18
