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.
Until those polls close, though, everyone needs to vote and make sure others are voting and do anything else that they can do to move us forward. I’ve never been so concerned about the future of our nation in my lifetime. We could turn a needed corner this week, though.
While I loved nothing more than being a traditional reporter for a decade, I am so grateful that I am not in a “neutral” reporting role this year. I feel lucky to have found myself in a role where I can express my opinions in the midst of a year in which so much has happened.
For now, I’m off to bed. ... Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves — in this week ahead of us. 💜

I know, not a courageous take.
And yet. That was not it.
There we go.

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.
In short, this is a completely illegitimate lawsuit whose only purpose is to try to disenfranchise voters. Courts must shut this down.
As usual, @marceelias is there, fighting to protect voters:

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. Image

The first episode was good. I’m on the second now.
