    Is it weird how easy it is to early vote in Texas? Also the “I voted” stickers are pretty dope this year. Not as cool as a werewolf ripping his shirt off, but still cool.

      Where I live, early voting is the norm and election day is more like a deadline. The longer it’s left, the more arduous it gets. Like shopping for Xmas gifts lol

      I think it’s became a bipartisan thing (albeit more hush hush for GOP) after the last few elections suggested that older people (who are likely Republicans) prefer it and preventing them causes problems for both party turn out (but again, Republicans).

      The only reason GOP publicly hate on it is because that helps the “stop the steal” lies. And they flip flop on that message constantly.

      I think the voting stickers vary based on where you are, mine was just “I VOTED / YO VOTÉ”

      Hmmm voting on the day of the election might be good for those who’d be willing to. Maybe I’m just being paranoid though.

    Already voted — hope everyone gets out there. Would be pretty awesome to have Allred win our senate seat; super long shot, but a Texan can dream.

    Why is voting in the US not on weekends? Or even at a specific voting holiday attached to weekends. Seems like a deliberate choice to make people not to vote.

      Well…you answered your own question.

      And you are correct.

      The number of people who can’t easily vote because they can’t afford to miss work and don’t have mail-in access is significant.

      It’s fucking bullshit.

        Gotta vote out the representatives that don’t support making voting more accessible to people who are legally able to vote.
