Election day is TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8th

• You can check your polling place AND time HERE.
  

• I would HIGHLY recommend bringing two forms of ID [a gov. i.e. your license or photo ID AND your voter ID] with you to poll. Some states have voter ID laws, and in other states you need your ID if it’s your first time voting  at that particular location.
  

• Avoid any trouble, don’t wear any pins, tshirts, etc. for a particular candidates. Some areas consider it passive electioneering.
  

• You CAN NOT vote via text, online, etc. Anyone advertising otherwise is lying.
  

• The only person to ask you for your ID should be the individual working the polls sitting at a table inside the building in question. If anyone else asks you for your ID or gives you a hard time, they have no authority to do so and should be avoided.
  

• You CAN NOT take a photo of your ballot/voting machine/etc. Take a cute photo with your “I Voted” sticker after and call it a day.
  

Most importantly, stay safe, be smart and VOTE VOTE VOTE

The lady in question has given permission for this to be shared around. That said, I’m stripping her name off this, though I’ll leave the link to her original Facebook posting at the bottom of the page.

This story aligns closely with stories I’ve heard from acquaintances in NY about Hillary Clinton assisting them with personal problems as their senator. I think it’s worth having more people see it.

More under the cut.

I’m going to bed.

Just posted a reminder about down ballot races on Facebook, because I am not fucking around anymore. If Clinton wins and we get stuck with a Red Congress, I will be so fucking disappointed in this country.

Hillary needs the support of Congress! Republicans in Congress are already promising to block all of her SCOTUS nominees! They honestly want to keep us stuck at eight justices for the next four to eight years! We cannot allow this to happen! We need to win back a majority.

Man, you guys, I’m trying to be optimistic, but it isn’t my natural state. I am a cynic at my core, and I honestly don’t have a lot of faith in the American voter. Wednesday we’re going to end up with a blue white house and a red congress. Things probably won’t get worse. They might even get somewhat better. But it won’t be what it could be, because some ppl are just too fucking afraid of change. They just blindly vote for the fucking name they recognize. Then they will turn around and claim Clinton isn’t doing enough. Well fuck all of you.

IF YOU DON’T VOTE. YOU CAN’T COMPLAIN. VOTE DOWN BALLOT. VOTE BLUE AND PROGRESSIVE. OR DON’T FUCKING TALK TO ME.
