  • I prefer "Pedophile Bill calls for..."

  • Yeah, it's too hard for them to realize that it invalidates your mailed ballot

  • Copying my comment from a related thread:

    Just wanted to say that in many of the mail-only states, you can still cut out the post office. For example, in WA, you can print out your ballot at home and drop it into a ballot box. There's no requirement to use the postal service.

    For WA, simply sign into votewa.gov, navigate to "Your Ballot & Voting Materials", then "Get a replacement ballot", and finally, select "Print a replacement ballot". Additionally, you can request pick up a new ballot in person on the same "Get a replacement ballot" page.

    While everyone should be able to vote through mail, I highly discourage returning your ballot through the postal service for obvious reasons. Most counties in WA have placed plenty of ballot boxes, usually there is one within a mile or so of you. VoteWA shows drop box locations as well.

  • Yeah, people should not focus on just one method of rigging and cheating, because they're doing much more than just one.

  • Marie Gluesenkamp is a moderate republican with a D label because the rest of the republicans went full MAGA

  • I know some people in Vancouver, WA that hate having her as their rep, but unfortunately her district is large and otherwise pretty rural, so they'll continue to suffer having her to "represent" them

  • The HPC Data Center lobby probably just forgot to send his check, I'm sure it's on the way now and he'll be quiet about it.

  • Use ballot boxes asuch as possible. In WA, you can also print your ballot and use a dropbox, cutting the USPS out entirely.

  • Who's Post Officd Wong?

  • BackyardScientist is on William Osman's second channel almost every video, sometimes they're doing crazy stuff there. Nile and Kevin (BackyardScientist) are also on a podcast with Osman called Safety Third.

    Kevin also has a series on Sauce+, Osman's premium video service.

    Though, the closest to Photonic is definitely styropyro.

  • They already have levers on all Rivians, for example. You don't ever have to have the handles in "present" mode.

  • Hobbs said he was confident the lawsuit would succeed in blocking the new regulations, but that if it failed, voters should use drop boxes to return their ballots to reduce the risk of the Postal Service not delivering them.

    This is key. Never use the postal service to send your ballots back, and if you don't get one from the state because the postal service blocked it, in WA, you can print it at home and drop it in a dropbox.

    WA sues Trump administration again over mail ballot restrictions

  • I would never trust a pre flashed Graphene phone. Always flash yourself for security.

  • if you're in a state like Washington, if you don't get your mailed ballot on schedule, you are allowed and encouraged to print it at home or at a library and drop it off in a ballot box.

  • We don't live in a place where we get a day off to vote, but we do have mail in voting which has proven to increase turnout. While the problems you've mentioned are real for some, the vast majority of mail in voters enjoy not having to stress about when they can vote because they're working three jobs - they can drop it off on the way to work. Mail in voting boosts how many people vote, full stop, and it's enough to counter non-federal influences like the ones you've mentioned here.

    Shitting on mail in voting is doing the republicans a favor, there's a reason they want to get rid of it, and it's not because of vote manipulation, abuse of voters, or dead people voting.

  • Which is why "mail only" states have a ballot tracker, abundant amounts of ballot drop boxes, and the ability to print ballots at home. In WA, you can cut out the mail service entirely.
