Coverboy I Voted Today!
It Ain't Done Until It's Delivered!
By Daddy
Las Vegas — I received my ballot today and it's time to do my civic duty. However, It's important to remember that you're not done until it's been delivered to the right place. Once filled out, I'll review the ballot drop off locations that was included in the ballot or I'll check the Clark County website. It turns out that the Senior Center down the street from me is one of the locations. Given the current situation, I don't trust the USPS to deliver my vote.
It turns out that illegal Ballot boxes have sprung up in various places in California and are being touted by Republican pundits. The Secretary of State of California has issued a "Cease and Desist" letter. The Republican officials have until Thursday to comply. The Republican leaders have replied: "We'll see you in court." It's seems a major disconnect that a party that has so villianized mail-in ballots is stooping so low as to try to disenfranchise voters with illegal ballot boxes.

There is decidedly not a lot to look forward to. But every now and again thee's a palette cleanser to distract ourselves. Thank you April Carrion. (More)
