I have to get this off my chest, and this seems like the best place. I wouldn't say that I'm expecting a mass shooting at a polling place on Election day, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is one
Now watch. After the election, Republicans in WA and OR will run to court demanding that all votes be invalidated because the fires created "irregularities" and "uncertainties."
Too bad for them because my ballot has just been accepted by the elections office, and there are zero uncertainties or irregularities regarding the Portland ballots because only three ballots were damaged and the people have already been sent replacements
AHHAHA HAHAHHA THIS IS GREAT! EVERYTHING IS GREAT!
GLAD WE TOLERATED THESE SORTS OF PEOPLE! STUCK TO THE HIGH ROAD! TOLD THOSE WHO SAID IN 2016 WE NEEDED TO HAVE SOME MAJOR PUSHBACK AGAINST CREEPING FASISM BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE THAT THEY WERE OVERREACTING AND WE NEED TO STICK TO THE SYSTEM AND JUST VOTE HARDER AHHAHHAHAH! YAY! HAHAHAH! EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ON A BICYCLE WITH NO SEAT THEY'RE BURNING VOTES!
I'm not in that area, but I made sure to check mine and see if it went through.
I live in Oregon, voted Monday. "Pins and needles" does not begin to describe my mood.
Was the arsonist wearing his MAGA hat at the time?
BTW it was all for nothing. https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2024/10/clark-county-replaces-500-ballots-in-response-to-ballot-box-fire.html The article is subscriber only (I'm not one) but the picture of the damaged ballots being dried out says it all.
Ta, Dok. This is so fucking stupid. I rolled my eyes so hard I saw my brain.

One reason I am glad it's all vote-by-mail in Oregon.
I just opened email from AP and saw that Terri Garr has passed away:

I guess the main caste of "Young Frankenstein" is having a reunion in the larger life.
I saw a Tesla Cybertruck today. What an effing waste of money. What an ugly car.
I feel I look way more cool on my bicycle, despite all the snot-dripping.
From Stephanie Miller's podcast, "The Nazi Trash":

I initially read that as 'From Stephen Miller's podcast, "The Nazi Trash"' and thought, huh, that's uncharacteristically self-aware.
Now watch. After the election, Republicans in WA and OR will run to court demanding that all votes be invalidated because the fires created "irregularities" and "uncertainties."
If MAGA is pinning their hopes on WA/OR, they have BIG problems.

I saw that vid and hoped it was fake. Wait til they start setting polling places in liberal states on fire.
The arsons happened in the very bluest part of Oregon and Washington. The Portland-Vancouver area. And both states are considered deep blue.
I'm sure it was just coincidence, but the there was a poster on Truth Social who was advocating for the burning of ballot boxes in Portland Oregon just a few weeks ago.... https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/1gehw99/two_weeks_ago_a_truth_social_user_laid_out_a_plan/
"Are rightwing loons allowed to drive Volvos?"
Well, I'm sure the logo appeals to them.
The company name gets them very titillated. They all want to get a look at a woman's "volvo."
I handed my ballot to a postal worker behind the counter at the post office, and was notified that it had been counted the next day.

THIS. IS. FINE.
Stay calm. https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2024/10/clark-county-replaces-500-ballots-in-response-to-ballot-box-fire.html
Even in CA, we dropped off our ballots inside a community center instead of a US mailbox.
