USpol: Get Out and Vote (tomorrow)
vote
I voted no on question 1 in the referendum election in Maine. Today is the last day to vote.
This is the text of the question:
Ban prepaid postage? Besides suppressing voting, this question is straight-up cruel. Frankly, I think that particular clause is a tell that this is a bad faith measure.
#maine #VoteNoOnQuestion1 #Q1 #vote
This is the text of the question:
Do you want to change Maine election laws to eliminate two days of absentee voting, prohibit requests for absentee ballots by phone or family members, end ongoing absentee voter status for seniors and people with disabilities, ban prepaid postage on absentee ballot return envelopes, limit the number of drop boxes, require voters to show certain photo ID before voting, and make other changes to our elections?A yes vote is voter suppression: people with disabilities, older folks, folks in rural areas, folks without IDs for whatever reason, folks who are out of state, students, and many other demographics would find it harder to vote if this passes and is enacted.
Ban prepaid postage? Besides suppressing voting, this question is straight-up cruel. Frankly, I think that particular clause is a tell that this is a bad faith measure.

"What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magnificently, it energizes us to act, and raises at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

In his final days in office, Trump is going to order a flurry of pointless and hurtful executive orders and unnecessarily fire a bunch of people in the government based purely out of spite and sadism - just because he can.
His intent is to hold power until he dies, and if can't then he is going to burn as much of it down as he can, out of spite.
The US is f**** unless Dems massively win the midterms.
Vote in person so there is no question.
NEW: The FBI has explored using AI to assess the validity of signatures on tens of thousands of mail-in ballots seized from Fulton County, Georgia, another push in the Trump administration’s continued reinvestigation of the 2020 vote.
