I registered to vote & made sure my absentee ballot would be sent to me.

I made sure both my sons did the same.

I filled out & mailed my ballot. Made sure both sons did the same.

I checked religiously to make sure my ballot was received & counted. It wasn’t.... Image
...So i tweeted my Supervisor of Elections in the county where i vote & she gave me an email address and a phone # who to contact for a backup ballot.

Emailed and they released a new ballot. 3 days later it still hadn’t arrived so checked & found out it had been emailed to...
...an old email address. So I emailed again and asked them to release another ballot to my current email address. I received it, filled it out, and FAXED it in (they won’t process a ballot sent by email).

It was received !

Our votes must be counted! Every vote must...
...be counted! That’s democracy! Be persistent! Be persistent and make sure your vote is received and processed and counted!

We haven’t fought long and hard for our votes not to count!! Keep voting and keep fighting!

#VOTE #EveryVoteCounts

In France there are no tv campaign ads. There are no lawn signs. There are no bumper stickers or truck flags. Presidential campaigns last 100 days. There’s a voting station for every maximum 1000 voters. Votes are papers slipped into an envelope & placed in an urn & hand counted.
Elections are held on Sundays. Every vote carries equal weight.
Most of what trump says - the lies, libel, slander - is illegal.

To the Originalists like #AmyComeyBarrett ... in the words of Thomas Jefferson:

“I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, ...
...more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when...
...a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.”

So the Founders never meant a judge in the year 2020 to interpret the law or Constitution as they did in 1787. Originalism is a scam perpetrated by the conservative right to deny...
