Mileage varies ... I have seen long lines in both SF and Berkeley.

I remember one election (2004 presidential?) when I used my standard dodge of "go to the county voter's office the weekend before" ... only to find myself hanging out with well over a hundred citizens who had the same idea.

We have twelve local initiatives in Berkeley as well. I want in on that sweet pension action.

Oh my God.

(I was helping support an elections department during that time. The SoS put down the hammer.)

The Ohio state lege passed a medical marijuana bill this year. Now, they have to come up with the rules and regs on who can grow it and sell it, and they say that'll take about two years. The AMA is advising doctors not to prescribe until all that shit's in place.

I had a chatty cashier at the hardware store when I was buying potting soil. He asked me what I was going to grow, and I was stuck because I didn't have an answer ready. I wasn't about to say marijuana.

Would that be the Ohio Secretary of State who's had his ass handed to him in court every time he goes in to defend a new voter suppression tactic who recently assured Mr. Trump that the election isn't rigged, thus negating the need for all the voter fraud laws he's gotten his ass handed to him in court defending?

Remember the good old days when Ann Coulter wrote a book advocating that all Democrats be executed for treason?

An elegant solution for a more civilized time.

My mother was a poll worker for many years down at the local Grange hall. Those women baked their fingers off the night before.
