Friendly, cooperative and legally compliant here in Scranton #ElectionDay
Main moving part here is "naked ballots" - ballots mailed without the secrecy envelope. That piece is a little confusing to voters and although the percentage is small, we're seeing plenty of them.
As a percentage of ballots though, the percentage has been infinitesimal - much less than feared.
Voters' names are recorded by party workers and then the voters contacted, informed that they blew it and urged to come in and vote.
One naked ballot came with a pen in it.
"Even drunks can vote," someone quipped
More than one actually 🙄

Some of you are relatively new to political engagement. You were probably thrust into it by our current state of cultural tyranny. You may have lost friends over it.
And though we don't know how this is going to end, right now you're hurting.
Let's talk. >
People like me - who have been infected with enthusiasm and passion for politics all our lives - have been telling you that everything about this election matters. It's the fight of our lives.
What if we lost? What?! 😳
Fair question. >
Old politicos like me will all answer the same way:
We WILL live. We WILL be back. They WILL not defeat us.
Yes, it hurts. It's so wrong. They're so bad in so many ways.
Trump gave us everything he had. Biden has only ever taken.
Let me reiterate. The Democratic nominee for President of the United States called the sitting President of the United States "a clown" on national TV, in his presence, before a quiescent moderator.
And all we hear about is how mean and aggressive Donald Trump was.
The cultural, political and moral implications of this remain unexamined and indeed unremarked upon among the major purveyors of news, information and analysis, as far as I know.
I am not followed by @TrumpWarRoom, but if you are, maybe bring this to their attention.
Forget Democrats. They're all in no matter what. But this vulgar man - @JoeBiden - is who the scummy likes of @ProjectLincoln are holding out as the one who will restore all the dignity, gravitas and oathy-something they believe @realDonaldTrump took from them.
Biden did show up for the #Debates2020 both cogent and coached. This was a +1 over expectations.
DJT came out aggressive, never let up. I think this was his only option.
Bottom line: Truth. Content. Biden lied *non-stop.* Trump did not. I'll stand by this.
Truth matters.
Puh-lease I am not saying the President didn't spin. But all was in the realm of standard political rhetoric. No need to say that he was also boxed in repeatedly by Wallace's loaded questions.
Biden though simply spat out literally false taking points.
Truth matters.
Biden also refused to answer important and substantive direct questions, especially regarding SCOTUS, and anyone who claims that is consistent with a "win" by him is just playing you. You don't think people noticed that?
