The one thing I've learned about NY Politics since moving here is that I want nothing to do with them, also ballot access lines are loving hilarious. So I guess that's two things.

Sapient also advocates for the return of the line-item veto, weekend elections, replacing the electoral college with direct election of the president, federal referendum on all tax increases, and a whole boatload of lobbying reforms.

I voted absentee in Fairfax and the moment I put in the request the Republicans started begging me not to and the Democrats started sending me information on how to not gently caress it up. So that's pretty telling. How hosed is Virginia probably anyway?

Bill Clinton was at UCF last night, it was a pretty awesome rally that gave me a lot of hope for FL finally turning blue, however since then reality has set in. At least amendment 2 will probably pass.

Not really much in the way of ID issues so far, a few changed addresses we had to get noted, one case where the guy's license had a middle initial and his voter registration didn't and one of the poll watchers tried to make something of it until the judges stepped in, but largely fine on that front. Of course this is before the after work crush so we will see

If you are in Cambridge, MA today you have the option of voting for Pirate Party candidate Noelani Kamelamela to be your Representative in the General Court. He's running on a platform of ending government surveillance, ending the drug war, and establishing free municipal WiFi.

Eh, I was never a fan of using riders to push bills through. That's how we end up with attack ads like "Candidate X voted against [obvious good thing]!" and "Candidate Y voted for [obvious bad thing]!" when both refer to the same drat bill. Their tax reform ideas are libertarian-style batshit, though.

Is there a way to confirm that my absentee ballot arrived and was counted? I'm not seeing anything on my county's site. It's Carteret County in NC, by the way. e: Found it via NC's BoE. It was accepted.  Go, Hagan and Adame.

So vote for whoever. I didn't see Buhrdorf on the ballot this morning but I probably didn't pay attention. EDIT: The minimum wage increase is a wildcard in this election. It should draw out voters who are inclined to vote Democratic, which could make races like NE-2 go Democratic, but I don't think it'll be enough to push Domina into the Senate, or flip the Governor's seat.

The Libertarian Senate candidate in Illinois lists her occupation as "Innkeeper." As much as I think adventurers would stimulate our economy, it doesn't seem worth the risk.
