Election day is two weeks from today, so if you’re planning on voting, (and I hope you are!) here are some tools to help!

Everything You Need to Vote
If you’ve already voted (I dropped off my ballot today!) consider volunteering in your community to help other people get it done!
Locally, we have ranked choice ballots for the first time and… well… it’s a LOT. Like a LOT a lot.
You can even be a poll worker!

Don’t let your dreams be dreams! DO IT!
When filling out my ranked choice ballot in my city, the top position for city council had 1 good candidate, 3 meh candidates, Tina from Costco, and a much of weird maga people that listed conspiracy shit in their voter guide pitches.
I had 5 slots, and I proudly put Tina from Costco in one of those slots over the magas. Tina’s chill.
Yeah, we have some winners in the voters pamphlet:

Dude’s policies are on point!
Yeah, that guy has a head in a fridge.
Wasn’t he in “Frailty”? LOL.
Another fun one from the Oregon Pamphlet:
You can choose to not rank them at all right? Like you don’t need to use all 5 slots? I’m hoping you left the maga people off completely, not just put them at the end…
Yup! You can rank as few as you want!
I waited 30 mins in line yesterday to vote early and brought a first time voter with me. I plan on hauling more people on Thursday, including another first time voter who I peer pressured into voting by offering a free lunch.
If you live in a swing state, you’re actively helping save the country. Thank you!
Sadly no, I’m in heavily gerrymandered Texas. I hope for the day when we swing purple.
Your efforts might be key to clinch the Senate and give Cruz the boot.
God I hope so.
The senate race is rather close in Texas, there’s a real chance to oust cruz. If we’re really lucky maybe flip blue for president too this cycle or be close enough that republicans have to pay attention and play defence next cycle
I think Texas might be closer than people realize. Though I know better than to get optimistic.
I remember Beto also having a real chance. Then reality hit me in the face like a ton of bricks.
Every election is an independent event. The results of that election have no bearing on this.
I refuse to vote in two weeks… because I already voted and voting again would be illegal.
Vote early and vote often… but only as often as there are elections you are eligible for!
I’m taking the Wednesday after election day off.
I start my sabbatical 10 days after election day. ;)
I’m voting early as possible. I don’t want to put up with any drama at the voter polls and I worry about punching a MAGA supporter if they’re in my face.
