Because somebody set fire to several ballot drop off boxes in California and because there are rumors of fake and tampered ballot boxes, I decided that it was worth the one-hour roundtrip drive to the Registrar of Voters office to have the peace of mind that my vote would be counted in this most important election year.
They had created a drive-through drop off at the Registrar’s location. It was so easy and there was no line, just a steady stream of cars. The nice lady confirmed that my signature was correct and that I had dated it, said thank you to me, and sent me on my way with the “I Voted” sticker.
Now I can check online to make sure that the barcode was read, and I’ve done our most important civic duty.
I believe this is the most important election of our lifetime. I’m beyond shocked at the racism and misogyny and targeted hatred that’s been uncovered these last four years.
In my opinion, it will take a lifetime to scour their systemic toxicity and re-educate certain sectors of our country about things I thought we all learned decades ago.
Here’s just a couple of the major things that piss me off.
- Black lives matter. We can’t continue to allow this systematic murder of people simply based upon the color of their skin. It’s INSANE.
- NEVER EVER strip babies and children from their parents and put them in cages because they were looking to escape violence. This is beyond disgusting. Those poor children.
- Women have the RIGHT to choose what happens to our bodies. No one else. NO ONE.
- Trust Dr. Fauci.
- Stop killing animals to profit from their habitats.
- Climate change is real.
There are many more issues, but for me, these are intrinsically the basis of what I fight for. Also, NEVER EVER again allow a failed reality TV show narcissist to run for office and cheat the system. EVER.
We all know Hillary won the popular vote. That’s why an overwhelming turnout this year is the antidote we need.
VOTE!

Excellent reminders. I requested my mail-in ballot around 4 weeks ago, received it 2 weeks ago, followed alL instructions + the secret envelope within the envelope, and immediately sent it back directly from the counter at the Post Office the next day. 2 days later email receipt confirmation. The day after that, an email that my ballot was approved, processed, and recording of my vote was complete/.

🙂 Yup. I sidestepped all that “It will take too long stuff” by giving them plenty of time. The 1st part was relatively slow, though they indicated it would take long, and the 2nd part was lightning fast.
Makes me wonder if the “news” stories of mail trucks dumping bags of mail in parking lots (non-postal employees) were scare tactics and propaganda and not real mail at all. Not very effective when they are identified as non-postal employees plus stealing mail would be a federal offense, not the trick to choose for a publicity stunt.

All the postal carriers I know HATE DeJoy but like their union. We’re in a sorta small town and they’re more friendly I think than some big cities.

🙂 Sounds like hating the Surgeon General, but still going to the doctor. Good stuff.
