You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Thank you for posting Bernie. I spoke with someone at the NorCo registration office a month ago, and I thought that she said we could only request a ballot 60 days prior to the election. I just submitted my application to vote by mail, and I'll see how it works out. Plenty of time to correct if need be.
ReplyDeleteIsn't registration a form of voter suppression?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I like going in person, I don't want to be at risk or put anyone else in harms way.
ReplyDeleteAlso, my wife has eye issues and needs assistance at the polls. Thanks for posting the address to get the mail-in ballot. I'm going to request one now to get ahead of the crowd !!!
Cheers.....
The Supreme Court is going to install Joe Biden after weeks of counting chad like tabulations and legal exercises reminiscent of 2000 Gore/Bush Faux news coup.
ReplyDeleteThe paradigm shift in the Main Stream Media is going to be stark but entertaining.
ABC's David Muir's closers are going to be of healing and unity, showing diverse people embracing with understanding and compassion. Commercials will have an air of happy days are here again it's time to buy.
In person or by mail, by all means vote, but is there anyone that does not see this coming?
I requested 8 mail-in ballots. Wife and I need extras in case we make errors in the final completion. We also suggested to some of our non-english speaking neighbors that they also request mail-in ballots as we would be glad to assist them in completing these forms.
ReplyDeleteAlso put in ballot requests at our former home in New Jersey.
we will be so proud when we finally become citizens.
