If you can't stand the saliva, stay out of the, uh, face-licking place.

Oregon and Washington aren't run by a racist batboy.

Mail-in ballots are the easiest voting I have EVER done in my life! No lines, no polling places, no school closings, and a paper trail!! Washington paid our postage this last cycle, too! Get on board, America!! It works!

"You know, Washington and Oregon have voting by mail that works without all this mess. Maybe Florida should ask them for advice?"

Do we have any statistics about spoiled ballots encountered in those two states? If not, how do we know they're doing any better than Florida?

As it is, the ACLU of Florida put out a piece in September 2018 showing that in the last two election cycles, a higher percentage of vote-by-mail ballots were rejected than those cast either at early voting or Election Day polling places

Oh, FloriDuh. You ruined 2000, and you haven't gotten much better. I did enjoy the PBS program, Secrets of Spanish Florida, a special long episode of Secrets of the Dead, narrated by Jimmy Smits. It was fascinating.

Yeah, but that isn't a Florida thing. That's a Republican thing.

So is this saying that if the ballot had one race which you just didn’t want to vote in, because both candidates were gormless asshats, but you correctly marked every other race and initiative, your vote wouldn’t be counted in any of them? Or just in that one race?

I never said it wasn't a Republican thing, so I'm not sure why you thought that would be some sort of relevant distinction.

I picked the specific instances of Florida out of her thread because she's been covering this literally for years and it would have taken too long to wade through all the examples in IN, MO, TX, SC, PA, DE, and OH, in addition to FL. Just off the top of my head.

So again, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.

And California. We've been voting by mail for decades now.
