Sorry

If one votes for an election denier and wins the election one loses democratic governance. If they win everyone loses

What about International students?

affirmative action is one piece of reparations in my view

we were working to end segregation and were arrested for taking our case in to the streets as well as the courts … to not much avail ,,

thanks for your work, Rev Hunt

I'm pretty old and have been at it for over 40 years.

💪🏼❤️

Isn't lifetime appts for Supreme Court in the Constitution so it would require an Amendment?

You could say that about our Senators and Representatives too.

Isn't happy hour supposed to be happy? no accountability and billions for lobbying doesn't make me happy!

Nope on term limits. Even term limits for Prez set in 22nd Amendment. Then states tried to set term limits for Congress members but SCOTUS knocked that down in 1995. SCOTUS constraints are quite vague in Constitution

Mail by TOMORROW to be sure the ballot is postmarked in time! After tomorrow, return to secure Ballot Box in your area by 8 pm, Tues. Nov. 8.

Any ballot drop-off box "monitor folks" hanging out and watching/filming voters in WA state?

Thanks Cindy. See you again soon.

But then there’s this:Article III, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution reads that judges shall remain in their position so long as they follow "good behaviour." This has long suggested that judges, including Supreme Court justices, have lifetime tenure.The general consensus among legal experts is that there would have to be a constitutional amendment in order to create term limits. Some political and legal scholars believe it can be done through other legislation that would move justices to other positions in the court, although this has not been tested.”

There was one man at my Bothell City Hall drop box location just standing nearby with arms crossed, watching the two election workers putting last minute ballots into the box. I’m wondering if he’ll be back again.

A guy was parked n his car

thanks, Daniel. So the Supreme Court would then rule on whether the term limits would be constitutional. I think I can guess how they would rule.

A guy with binoculars was watching people drop their ballots in the dropbox at Redmon City Hall!

Eastman will be going to jail.

My example was from the August Primary. Didn’t make that clear!

thanks for your spreadsheet, Yvonne

My pleasure @David.

Actually during reconstruction, voter intimidation at the polls was common—lots of monitoring at polls in the 19th early 20th century

Some people will vote for the candidates who the media says has the highest poll numbers. Lazy voters sometimes simply want to vote for who they think is a winner. That's all the information they want to have before the vote. Media companies are wrong to depend too much on polls.

Wa State is so ahead - can put your ballot in the mail - not even have to go to drop boxes.

and then came the Wilson Administration. I learned that he was worse than Trump. He did "lock them up." 400 people who disagreed with WWI were imprisoned for what they said and wrote. Not being "Patriotic".

Yup yup—back when a REPUB sec of state could be proud of our all-mail voting system!!

Non-citizens can and do vote in non-federal elections in local jurisdictions, right?

in a few states anyway

WE were official election observers today - very interesting. Volunteer if you have time.

😨

I may need a barf bag on Election night

I agree dessert communication has been lacking

I meant dems.

Alpana—Thank you Cindy ,I have to leave for my second meeting .See you in the next meeting .

Sorry — I have to leave the meeting.

Multnomah County.

If our election in Alaska is not a 50% plus 1 result-then we won't know who won until Nov. 23rd at 4:00 pm and it will be televised.

Sorry to be late, but doing GOTV banner waving.

Nate Silvers 538 is a fairly reliable source.

If they have shareholders corporations are essentially required by law to prioritize profits

I have to say, I agree that the tv ads have been horrific.

I wish Dems would fight back on the issues of inflation and crime. On inflation, Republicans are cheering it on because corporation pay them when they get elected. It has been perfect for them the oil companies have recorded record profits becuase they simultaneously claim about the horrors of inflation while pocketing even more money. On crime, how can they be serious when they do nothing to curb gun sales? I think the Dems have missed this argument completely.

Never been on Twitter and have never missed it!

I left twitter day he took over.

I have never been on Twitter either.

The rise in hate speech is already scaring ad buyers off, GM has paused twitter ads and a major online ad company is advising clients to hold off on advertising until Twitter issues clearer trust and privacy policies

That's true.

I am certainly thrilled I have never joined twitter and only see what is published or revealed in news feeds. Twitter is TMI that is not always kind.

Interesting article on RCV with a proposed modification to process that allows minority votes to be better represented rather than getting dropped altogether: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/11/01/alaska-final-four-primary-begich-palin-peltola/

for most of us using English twitter whether or not to us it is a privilege we get to decide, there are parts of the world (Iran, Ukraine) relying on the service in ways we can't understand (and clearly Musk doesn't care about)

Spokane county won't have it's final count until Nov 23rd.

My daughter works for Twitter, but will be leaving asap; lining up plenty of interviews lately. Twitter employees are mostly concerned that Musk has no experience or expertise in this industry. Personally, I deleted the Twitter app from my phone in protest the day after he took over!

bring back the fairness doctrine.

yes to fairness doctrine, though if/how to apply that to digital media is an interesting question as well
