it has reached the point in time where i have no time and have now paid someone to clean my house for me, which i thought i would never do.
like you can only promise your partner you'll do the dishes or wash the sheets 100 times and fail to do that before you just feel so bad watching them do 90 percent of the house work that you pay someone to clean the house so at least you don't feel bad for a few days
💀💀💀💀

All of these shots were shot in maybe a four block radius in downtown Austin and are mostly of things that always have traffic cones in front of them, or our gates that are literally always locked with the chain. Stunning.
Also, all of the protests that cause what little chaos they managed to film happened before the police in Austin had their funding affected.
As someone who lived within visible distance of police headquarters in Austin, while all of this was going on, I can tell you for a fact that I was just fine one block away.
I think my point is being willfully misunderstood - shocking for this website I know. Of course it isn’t fine or normal to wait in line for 11 hours. These are isolated issues. Let’s not represent the problem to be affecting the entire state of Georgia.
Screaming that lines are incredibly common across the state of Georgia is both false and not great for voters who might vote there. Let’s not make people think they’ll be waiting in like when 99 percent of voters today in that state waited for an extremely low amount of time.
And we certainly don’t need to be basing these assertions on a few tweets from voters. We can wait for the data, then we can actually know where problems are and what caused them. Until then, striking unnecessary panic bells helps no one.
a lot of your concern over georgia as a state might be alleviated if you just took the time to know that the *counties* select and apportion voters to polling places - not the state.
The historical long lines in Fulton are not the result of Kemp. Sure, perhaps he contributed in some small part. They are the result of the fact that Fulton County has, historically, done a bizarre job of this work.
Clearly I am still feeling spicy and have not Logged Off.
You know I think there are just some inherent problems with the way folks look at election data. NINE POLLING LOCATIONS FOR FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND. Is fine I guess, but also not all 500,000 will vote at all and they certainly won't vote on the same day.
A record number have already cast ballots by mail. And, counties are at a bit of a disadvantage as voters who requested ballots by mail then don't cast them and show up in person when they've previously said they won't. And that's fine!
But you can't *really* blame election officials for basing the expenditures on the data they have. And you can't blame a state for the choices of the county.
Long lines in the first two hours of early voting are not actually indicative of a problem or too few polling locations. Do not cover them as if they are.
They are indicative of enthusiasm. These same polling locations will have no lines later in the day or tomorrow. Celebrate enthusiasm, but most voters will not wait in any line at all.
God I love all of the replies to my tweet from people who don't look at actual turnout data! It's so helpful for me!
