Because it got on the ballot too easily. We need a recursive smiley.
Not strictly by mail, dropped my ballot off at a permanent collection box at the local library, but the ballot is in, and is showing as received as of 10/20 on the state website.
I don’t get this. I guess I can see it being frustrating to have fewer candidates than offices to vote for. I certainly have no problem with someone writing in a vote for someone they think is qualified, and would be a good choice. But why make election workers have to take time to record joke votes? Especially under the current circumstances?
Seriously? I hope that’s a joke, but if so, I don’t really get this either. Are you just trying to get a rise out of someone?
I can’t figure out how to quote, but in the case of voting against candidates in non-partisan elections, what’s the problem? If their yard signs mark them out as odious why wouldn’t you vote against them?
We had a candidate here whose message exclusively was that he was descended from one of the founding fathers. So he came from a “tradition of service”. I would have voted against him just for that.
1. On desktop, highlight the text you want to quote.
A little quote bubble appears.
Click on that and it opens a reply box, with the highlighted text formatted as a quote. Just add your comment and hit “reply”.
2. On phone, click the “reply” button for the post you want to quote from. That opens a reply box with a menu bar.
On the menu bar that appears, there’s a quotation bubble at the extreme left.
Click on that, and it will quote the entire text of the post. You may want to cut it down to the specific part, if it’s a long post.
Add your comments and click “Reply”.
Sophia cast her first vote ever (Texas, absentee in NYC):
Cool, thanks!
On mobile, you can also just highlight the text you want to quote and hit the popup that says “Quote.” I find that to be easier if there’s a lot of text and I only want to quote a small bit.
How do you highlight text on an iPhone?
I’m not sure. I use Android. All I have to do is hold my finger down on the text I want to highlight, and a little adjustable box comes up that I can expand to select any text I want.
You hold your finger down somewhere within the text and the drag the beginning and ending thingummajigs to the beginning and end of the text you want to quote.
Aha! I wasn’t being patient enough and keeping the finger down long enough!
Thanks, both.
Today. Took 15 min, no long lines no MAGATs attempting any mischief.
Maybe @Ludovic can clarify, but they didn’t say that the candidate’s yard signs’ message was odious. They said, “because yard signs are stupid.” So, unless that was mistyped, they voted against someone because people had yard signs for that person, and that causef Ludovic to remember the candidate’s name.
Just now. First time I have ever had to wait in line at my polling place. Also the first time I have ever voted Democratic.
We got our ballots in the mail last week, filled them out on Saturday, and dropped them in the drop box at the county courthouse.
Assuming my vote is counted this year, I may vote absentee from now on. It was so much easier.
Our plans to visit Manassas on Saturday fell through so we went to vote. The closest polls are difficult to get to from here via public transportation so we went up to the County’s main governmental office building. Practically door-to-door bus service with no transfers. The polling place up there used to be a bank so it’s very well suited for social distancing; most of the poll workers are either outside or behind the tellers’ counter. The poll worker who checked us in happened to be an upstairs neighbor.
No line to speak of and no obvious Trumpeteers. Got there around 3, got directed to the entrance, went right to our neighbor for our ballots, and filled them out in one of the bank’s meeting rooms.
voting in person, on nov. 3.
i’m in pa, the lawsuits are flying like monkeys. i don’t want to take the chance that my vote will be voided on a technicality. the polls are in my condo building and only for building residents, so very safe.
pa will void mail in votes of people who die before nov 3rd. there are not many states that allow them to be counted.
may suits about this one. most of the states that allow them to be counted have early in person voting on machines. some allow mail in if it is postmarked before the person died.
