Shoq 🌿Good morning, fellow refugees. How goes the big wait? Is America finally going to be safe for fascism? I don't know how you're holding up, but focusing on this reinventing of social media is all the keeps me from shaking to pieces from all this stress. I'm still a mess. And really angry it's come to this.
Cathy Gellis@shoq I'm poll monitoring this week. It's what I do to feel like I'm doing something. And also means I'm not completely dependent on the news to know how the election is going, because I can see it myself.
Keikioaina@cathygellis @shoq Me too. I did it for early voting too. Fwiw, I live in a county whose Republican SOE is super committed to assuring that absolutely everyone votes, so it's not a hard job here. I've watched poll workers bend over backwards to help confused clueless noobs vote. It gives me faith in my neighbors.
@keikioaina @shoq I too have seem some hard core Republicans who were long-time precinct leaders go to the mat to get people their ballots. What their party has done is such an affront disservice to their actual patriotism.
Christie Dudley@cathygellis @keikioaina @shoq I'm going a step further and serving as a poll inspector for the city/county. I started after doing some election protection phone banking for a party when I realized I didn't fully understand how polls work. Stepping up in this town gives me enormous confidence in our electoral process.
@longobord @cathygellis @shoq I know, right? At the local level, at least where I live (R+5 Florida gulf coast), the local election people seem committed to pulling as many people in to vote as they can, given DeathSantis's laws and rules.
