Oh, it’s 1:05a again. In less than 47 hours, it will be Election Day 2020.
In less than 65 hours, the first polls will be closing. In less than 72 hours, the last polls will be closing.
Whatever else you’re doing in that time, make sure your vote is cast or otherwise in by then.
As votes come in and are counted Tuesday and the days that follow — depending on different states’ rules and depending on what the race and the states look like — it could be a lot to handle and it could get scary. Do what you can, if that becomes the case, but protect yourself.
Republicans are afraid of votes. Some judges are, increasingly, going along with it — in dramatic and unjustified ways that ignore the Purcell principle and the reliance interests of voters. It’s undemocratic, an embarrassment to our nation, and needs to stop.
If your party’s only clear animating principle for the closing days of an election is to reduce the number of people who can have their votes counted, it’s not a party at all.
These people are so desperate and sad. Their “arguments,” such as they are, require both ignoring the pandemic (which, true, is basically GOP policy anyway) AND ignoring the fact that even pre-pandemic many states allowed post-election day receipt of ballots postmarked by E-Day.
