    Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas and many others would welcome him as a victim. But I won’t breathe easily until I see Biden take the oath on Jan. 20. I’m still cautious.

    Voting Day should be a thing and a national holiday, not just for presidential elections, but for Congress, too. Every two years.

    I'll be direct.

    You're wrong.

    Perhaps there is some fear that people would not use a day off to vote, but rather for barbecues and pool parties.

    A state should “take the plunge” and see what occurs. It would be interesting.

    It was the first day so I’m guessing the lines won’t be as bad going forward. If the GOP truly cared about voter fraud caused by mail in ballots, they would expand early voting. But they are just there to suppress turnout.

    If you hold the first day of early voting on a holiday that many (not all!) people have off, more people are going to show up to vote. First day of early voting in Mass. is Saturday. I expect long lines here, too.

    ENOUGH with the other board and this stupid back and forth. Please don't be bringing posts from over there over here. They have their space, they can do what they want with it. This is not new, this goes back years and years and involves other "new" boards as well.

    We're three weeks away from a pretty important election. I enjoy seeing what people think, even some of the people I allegedly don't like (or don't like their viewpoints). Wading through "fuck you no fuck YOU" posts is a major drag.

    Appreciate it - carry on.

    I get really sick and tired by people who think voting doesn't matter. When corporations and other rich folk are sinking hundreds of thousands of dollars, when groups are working day and night to get you to vote, when countries are working hard to NOT get you to vote. When groups are filing lawsuits left and right to allow you or not allow you to vote - yeah it matters.

    Fine, I won’t share photos from the Schnauzers in Christmas Sweaters message board I’m a member of.

    Y’all are the big losers here.

    The GOP devotion to combatting non-existent problems while ignoring real ones is unparalleled.
