The USPS wants barcodes on mail ballots and Democrats are hysterical; meanwhile HUD defunds LA's billion-dollar homeless agency — which can't house anyone but never loses a ballot. Connected? Yes.
The bar codes are a great idea, but why not just do away entirely with this mail in voting unless you are stationed overseas? No more long drawn out elections with days/weeks of voting, mailed ballots, and all the nonsense - One election on one election day where everyone has to get there butts there to actually vote in person.
The lefts assault on common sense is endless. " LA County officials, the article reported, have themselves pulled $300 million from LAHSA, and built their own department, because the agency had become “unwieldy” and “mired in various layers of bureaucracy.” The Feds better audit this as well. Dollars to doughnuts, they just wanted to get their own share of the fraud.
I work as an election judge in my county and we are hard pressed to get people to be election judges. We are expected to work the entire Election Day from 7 am to 8 pm when the polls close and then we must hand count the ballots to make sure our chain of custody is numerically correct. Same number of ballots given and received. Plus close down the polling place because it’s usually in the HS gym. So that takes us to 9-9:30. That’s an extremely long day and you cannot leave the building. So unless you are going to volunteer to be an election judge during the early morning hours between Midnight and 6 I say there’s enough time for people to vote. It’s not like they don’t know when the day is. Better yet. Make voting day a holiday.
Unfortunately for me here in Illinois, no matter how much you apply, if you’re a conservative you get the same response: we are already overstaffed. I’m not working right now and have all the time to give and work hard. Last year I finally reached out to whomever chooses election judges and the guy was short and snippy with me, and told me he doubted I would ever get picked. All because I said I found it strange that an application from a mature, college educated adult with plenty of time was never accepted. The minute you ask questions you are disqualified. They want mostly democrats, complacent and uninformed. I certainly was none of that. 🫤
You know they will check your voting history/registration. That is how they manage to insure that very few, if any poll workers are republicans.
Back before the WHUU, when we had actual in-person voting, I always made it a point to gently harass the pole workers by showing my I.D. as I signed my name and printed my address. The reactions were priceless! Hand waving, looks of disgust, insuring me that they were not allowed to ask for I.D.! It made me wonder if the poll workers were told that they would be tested and if they even so much as looked at identification, they would be FIRED from their volunteer position and legal charges would be filed. Lol
Don’t you live in PrickSters hell? Open primary is where I ask for R or D ballot. . I’m not registered. I never did anything proclaiming my party officially here. So what if past elections you were something different. I voted D many times in my ignorant past. F them.
Wow - in our state, you have to have an equal number of R's and D's at every poll. The only glitch in that is that MO does not require party registration, so they just take you at your word. I have heard in the KC election board district there ARE D's who just tell the election board that they are R's so some polls are 100% D's. KC went 80% for Harris, so finding R's to work is a problem. The legislature did pass a law that said we can work in election board areas other than our own, so I COULD sign up to be a poll worker in KC but it's a long drive, many are in sketchy areas, and we already have to be there at 5 AM so I stick to working the polls in my own neighborhood.
Legislature NEEDS to pass 'closed primaries' which would necessitate party registration and then you can only get the ballot for the party you are registered as in the primaries. A lot of D's cross over in August and vote for the weakest R, which then helps them in November. Many of us actually considering it as we have a county exec race where there is one very moderate D and several left wing nut jobs - our R candidate is just a placeholder and will not win in Nov so I may ask for a D ballot just to vote for the moderate D - whoever wins the primary is going to win in the General, and there is only 1 race on my ballot (state senate) where there are 2 R's running and it's a foregone conclusion that one is going to win. But it hurts to think about asking for a D ballot, not sure I can do it.
Prior to the run-up to the 2020 Election, our son decided to bite the bullet and change his registration from Non-Partisan to Republican, because he was not able to vote for Trump as a NP, in under California's primary election rules. His Republican ballot never arrived, though he registered within the time restrictions! Was this a Registrar of Voters SNAFU, or a rogue postal worker deciding who receives Ballots? The fact that a ballot does not arrive, means having to obtain a provisional ballot. During mail-in/Plandemic rules, that meant driving to the Registrars office in the County seat, to vote. If only he had been homeless and living in LA.
I was told the same thing, which is why I applied. I find it hard to believe they had more than enough Rs around me. This is deep blue country and there aren’t that many active Rs. Most are asleep.
This system is broken. I want a ballot with everyone's name on it, regardless of "party." I want to vote for the person not its "party." If the primary switcheroos are the problem, get rid of the primaries! Everyone vote, at the polls, on Election DAY, for whoever they dam well want. Tally the ballots through the night, winner take all. Have a nice day.
The whole point of a primary is for members of each party to choose their representative. They need to be closed to prevent shenanigans. Eliminating them altogether would result in run-offs in every single election, because it is virtually impossible for any one candidate to receive 50% of the vote when there are numerous candidates.
In my county, workers of different parties identified by colored lanyards, are required for all ballot receiving and processing, simply to eliminate the appearance on impropriety. Observers can easily identify that there is a mix of party for every task. Keep applying Juju, and thank you!
I am not sure what an election judge is. I have been an e-tablet worker (greet, register and hand ballot to them) and an election clerk (oversee everyone else at my precinct).
Replying to Elaine H. I guess it depends on the state. In my county in Montana we do not use electronic devices. But I do the same thing. We check them in manually and have them sign the register. Give them a ballot and then help them to put the voted ballot into the locked box. Your second role would be called the head election judge who oversees the provisional table and deal with any issues that crop up for our multi-precinct voting station.
I have also applied to be an election judge for every election in the past twenty years (11 years in Illinois and 9 years in Florida) and have never been selected to serve. Most of the time I don't even receive a response at all except the acknowledgment that they received my application.
Replying to JuJu. Sad. Our registrar is very fair and non-biased. We have both Republicans and Democrats who work the polls. I couldn’t even say which way she votes which is pretty remarkable these days. Can you file a complaint?
LOL not in blue counties so close to Chicagoland. I did make a phone call to complain to the main election guy, and the man was so rude it was off putting
Wow - Illinois is even more corrupt than I thought. Here in AZ I've been a poll worker or observer over the years - and always the requirements called for equal numbers of Republicans & Democrats. At least that is fair!
Well they DO “require” that, but there’s always too many republicans applying - or so they say. Absolutely not true. Everything is corruptible, even election rules.
Everything you said is correct. I think they make it so long, tiring ard tedious on purpose.
Why can't there be two shifts? What is the reasoning behind that setup?
So you've been there all day. You're tired and exhausted and now you're supposed to count everything. Plus you have to drive it to wherever it's dropped off which adds more time and energy. It's ridiculous. Two shifts are needed. One day.
I've been a judge for the last 6 years. We have to be there at 5 AM and then have to close out the poll when they close at 7, so if everything goes smoothly we are out at 8-8:30. Shut down machines and pack away all supplies in a locked rolling cabinet, make sure the chain of custody is correct - place all ballots in locked bags along with the memory stick from the tabulator and then one R and one D deliver to a supervisor judge team of one R and one D who are at a nearby collection point for about 6 polls. When all of the polls have dropped their ballots & stick at that point, the 2 party team drives them to the Election board. We usually have 100% reporting results on the election board website by 9:30 or 10:00.
We've been told we can't leave and have to work the whole day - I think mainly due to if there is a problem at a poll you have the same set of eyes all day, and makes scheduling easier. It IS a long day, but it's not like it's physically taxing, and in Aug and Nov elections it's steady enough that the time goes faster than you realize. April/local ones can drag at times as it's low turnout most of the time, so you have time to stare at the clock. We have to be partnered with a D at all times/positions at the poll, so a lot of it depends on if the D you are working with is a decent person or a nut job you can't wait to get away from.
My goodness! I have so much respect and appreciation for you who work at the polls. It sounds grueling to me, I’m way too old for that. So I thank you all, just as I do the folks who are working when I go to vote.
And thank you Donna for a detailed description of the duties.
Silver lining is that there are some decent people out there with D's by their name. We are not allowed to talk politics while working but in reality EVERYTHING is political and it is a little encouraging to find that we can usually find some common ground, or something to talk about, like gardening. In my regular life I have pretty much jettisoned D's from my circle since covid.
When I worked the polls in WA state (before mail-in). We had the same procedures. We had to balance exactly. All ballots had to be accounted for - those voted, voided, or not used. Now, I cringe when I see that precincts show a difference of hundreds of ballots!
I do have confidence in our election results, it seems to be a good well thought out system. Of course then there is a question of the voter rolls, but we do require a photo ID.
Donna, you described the exact same process we follow in Cass County, MO. It is a very long day but I’m willing to volunteer my time to have my eyes and ears focused all day on election integrity!
To Willing Spirit: You can ask if they will do a split shift for you. You don’t need to sit the entire time. Our head judge shifts people around to do different tasks during the day. And if you can’t lift they will have someone else do it. They need people and should be accommodating. I would suggest you inquire. The worst that would happen is you don’t participate. But it’s rewarding to see and participate in the process.
Responding to Laura: Part of the problem is that we don’t have enough poll workers. Our head judge tries to do two shifts. I used to split shift with someone but she moved out of state. So we need to find someone else.
I've worked the last 4 elections and agree with everything you stated.
Plus, in our county, it's now set-up and tear-down of voting machines. My last service was at a location with 14 machines. Each machine/case weighs about 50 lbs. The "system" to set-up, open/close polls, tear down is an utter PITA. And we're expected to operate as "tech support" as well (fix paper feeds, replace paper rolls, address error messages, etc.)
I've decided never again, unless we go back to paper ballots.
Visions of 'hanging chads' suddenly crossed my mind. But in all seriousness, the machines make me nervous, I much prefer the scantron bubbles, as they seem to be the most accurate, secure and fastest to tabulate.
My mail in ballot in FRAUD-U-FORNIA was a scantron format. But oddly, it took 6 days for it to show as accepted by my my County Registrars office! I could have driven it over in about 1-2 hour depending on traffic.
The whole ‘hanging chads’ episode was a hoax to cover for the fact that Dan Rather of CBS called the state of Florida for Al Gore at 6p.m. CST.
Thousands of conservative military connected Florida panhandle voters were waiting in line to vote after a hard day at work and instead went home in disgust at that point.
I personally took my ballot into the County Court House and dropped it into the Ballot Box and it did not show up on the State website for almost a week. I called them every day after the 3rd day but they always said "Don't worry. It is being processed." They received it but whether or not the votes are actually tabulated correctly, who knows. I can see someone somewhere scanning the envelope bar code and then tossing it into the trash can without ever opening it. "See we got it!". I will never ever trust the government.
I am an election judge in MN. That sounds about right, but we do have the option of working half days 6:00-2:00 or 2:00-8:00 plus close-out including tying out the # of ballets to the machine tape and to the receipts. (We don’t count the actual vote per candidate!) We do have early voting - which is needed if you are assigned to a polling location that is not your own. We have to have 2 head judges - one of each major party.
That could be. I’ve worked almost all elections and primaries since 2021 and we’ve always had at least a few folks coming and going throughout the day.
To Joseph Kaplan. Why three days? People know when Election Day is. It’s not a secret. One day is plenty of time otherwise you are not giving the day the importance it needs. Make it a holiday.
Many people work on a 12 hour shift. 7am-7pm. Very difficult to reach their polling place vote. So country-wide hours would need to accomodate shift workers.
I'm not in this situation, but there are many hospital workers that work only 12 hours shifts that typically run from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.. Then toss in the drive time to their polling place and that makes it difficult for some. Maybe not 24 hours, but maybe 18 at least.
I also work as an election judge in my county. We have to be there by 5:30 am and end at about the same time as you do and it sounds like we follow the same process. It’s a long day but I want to know I’m doing a small part in trying to maintain election integrity, at least in my county. I always love to see the parents who bring their children with them so they can observe the importance of voting in person on Election Day.
Mrs. M, we don't have national holidays, we have federal (or state) holidays, which give government workers paid time off. Most private employers and many job categories are open for business on most or all of those 10 or so days,:at their own discretion, since our government thankfully cannot tell businesses when they must close (yet, or at least always, since they did during Covid). This would advantage government workers over private sector workers or those who work in hospitals or are first responders (police, fire, EMS). A brief period of early voting, e.g. a few days or up to a week or so, should suffice for the vast majority without compromising election security, as we do in Florida.
This is so important, and has gotten so out of hand! I see your logic on “election week”, but would add: all ballots must be in and counted by 11:59 p.m. Election Day (Night).
Way before mail in ballots, Allegheny County in Pennsylvania always had "ballots ready to be counted " in boxes in the courthouse in case Democrats were in danger of losing.
Penny, in Florida, that would mean that election workers would be on duty for more than 24 hours, because it's the same staff for the entire day, including setup and end of day reporting and breakdown. It's already almost inhumanly long. Most of the workers are civic-minded citizens getting paid almost nothing.
I have even suggested 8:00 am Tuesday until 8:00 pm Wednesday. No excuse, I can't get to the pools. And no announcing vote counts until the polls are closed.
Disagree with 24 hrs Penny. Polls closing at 8pm has been the law for as long as I can remember. I worked a 24/48 hour shift for many years and never had a problem voting. Establishing voting day for federal elections a national holiday should assure every registered voter has the time to cast their ballot before 8pm.
For most of my adult life, I voted by mail in because we are a military family. On the ballot, (in the small print) it said these votes are not counted unless the race is “too close to call“. At some point I had taken a picture of that because even everyone I knew who voted the same way did not know that.
"These votes are not counted unless the race is 'too close to call,' ...at which time they will be counted just enough times to create yet another statistical come-from-behind miracle."
Thank you for your service, Tom. Military mail in votes should be counted first, in my book, not last! Few have more right to be counted than those who selflessly serve our country. It infuriated my husband too when he was in the sandbox!
Exactly!!! My goodness I’ve NEVER heard about this before! All military ballots regardless if they are mailed in should be counted FIRST. They have earned that right.
I know in 2020 they found an anomaly of more overseas military ballots received than sent out, and of course all went to Biden 🙄 Right, as if our military would vote en masse for that clown. 🤦🏼♀️
Never heard that before. Maybe they can put it in large print on the ballots now if we still have to allow them as a way to discourage people from voting by mail.
That’s like finding out the line you sign your name,on your checks isn’t actually a line. It is very,very small print saying something certainly not in our best interest. My eyes are too blurry to make it out this morning,even with a magnifying glass,but,I remember being SHOCKED when I learned that,too!
That "line" is part of the "fraud armor" package. It's nonsense characters, something like hieroglyphics, but claimed to be very difficult to reproduce by someone with a good photocopier. Use a magnifying lens and see for yourself.
Thanks - I looked at one of my checks with a 15X loupe and could not distinguish any actual letters. (Maybe I oughta stop sourcing my blank checks from the lowest bidder ...)
What “Peace” said is what is written. When I read it,years ago, THOUGHT it said something different…but,no matter. Some people think it is for more than “for our safety “..but,sometimes rabbit holes get toooo tiresome 🤨
Not sure about other states or counties but when I worked as an election official, that was correct. If there are only 200 absentee votes and someone is leading by 1000... not much use, but if the difference is say 100, we'd count for sure. The ballots are kept along with the others for 2 years at the Clerk of the Court, in a sealed container. They are available if needed. You vote is STILL important, just think if yours was #201, in my scenario and changed the outcome?
I appreciate the confirmation. I have been told by several people that I was wrong. I always sent in a ballot like I do now even though I know mine is thrown away. 😂😡
True, although we can't really make "being informed" a requirement for voting. Citizens have the right to vote, informed or not. The problem is, just as in assisted living and memory care centers, the targeted population is largely not mentally capable of getting to the voting booth, or handling a mail-in ballot. If you have to do everything, from securing the ballot to practically guiding their hand while they mark the ballot - they should not be voting. And that's probably a "best case" scenario, because it really does seem that harvesters are filling out and returning the ballots "in behalf" of most homeless people.
My mom is in an assisted living facility, and the election board workers actually go to all of the NH and assisted living places to vote those who choose to vote. The residents have to fill out a 'early voting' request form in advance, so they have to be mentally acute enough to do that. Anyone who has filled out that request form can then vote absentee on the date the election board comes out. We have 6 weeks of 'excuse' early voting (health issues, military and those who sign a form saying they will be out of town on election day) and then 2 weeks of 'no excuse' early voting. Ballot harvesting is NOT legal in our state, so my mom has the option of requesting an absentee mail in ballot, or voting on the day the election officials come to her facility, or voting in person on election day. I work as a judge, but sometimes my hubby takes her, but it's just easier to vote at her place since she is in a wheelchair.
Even though ballot harvesting IS illegal, I have heard that the adjacent election board (Kansas City) to us has some shenanigans go on where people who are NOT election board officials do go to nursing homes to 'help' them vote absentee, although it's 80% blue so not like it's going to swing much.
They have that. It's called absentee ballots. You have to make the effort in advance though. It must be requested and validated that you are registered.
NOT the same as mass mail in ballots that started with Covid.
With all our advances and technology, our elections are less secure than they were before electronic voting machines and mass mail-in ballots. Also, we used to know the results of elections by the next day, whether at a local or national level. It's very unlikely that many would make the effort at assisted living facilities, or among the homeless, to register them to vote, unless the purpose was to manipulate those ballots. We need to simplify: vote in person day of, or obtain a mail-in ballot for exceptions such as health or being out of country, polls close and ballots are counted at end of day, results are known by the next day. Period.
Voting laws should require that mail in ballots be filled in with a notary present.
The notary would then sign and notarize that they witnessed that the person who filled out the ballot was indeed the registered voter. Yes, it would be expensive if done by the millions.
When you have normal people, working a job, not voting and then have hundreds of thousands of homeless crack heads voting, there is definitely something suspicious going on.
I thought the Save America Act was supposed to ban mail-in voting (except for excused Absentees), but last I heard that provision was dropped. And so, apparently, has the entire Act—time to get a new Majority Leader!
Oregon mail-in voting is heaped with fraud. Why else have we only had Democrats in office for 40 years? Who would continue to elect Wyden and Merkley the biggest piles of rotten garbage that ever came out of Oregon. Oregon has become nothing but a huge sh@t can for 4 decades and keeps getting worse, if that is possible.
When I pulled up to sign a petition here in Oregon to oppose the gas/registration, etc, tax increase, I asked about the petition to end mail-in voting. The woman I talked to said that most of the people who were signing the gas petition were in favor of mail-in voting. It’s just too convenient she said. I get it, it really is easy, but we’re honest people so there you go. The problem is dishonest people love it too.
Right and the dishonest people are in leadership in Oregon which is why after 4 decades of Democrat leadership it is ranked almost at the bottom of the list for livability. The entire West Coast needs to fall into the Pacific Ocean and do the entire USA a favor.
I was so pleased the gas tax increase was shot down by voters, overwhelmingly. Kotek and D dominated legislature tried to push this tax increase through during session and almost succeeded. This got onto voter petition at the work of Republican state Rep, Ed Diehl.
I pulled lever for Drazen and will again in general, but I wish I had for Diehl. He really went to bat for us. Even my D wife and I daughter voted that gas tax down.
Yes, Matt L, way to let us know what is going on in OR! CA already has a barcode on the ballot and envelope too, to trace on the online website. Their arguments are disintegrating…
And if the homeless are expected to find their way back to whatever address they used to fill out their mail in ballot, why can’t they just make their way to the many voting locations on Election Day? Or even the early voting locations to give them a chance to get there? They aren’t filling them out. I’m sure the left has a handful that did that they can wave around and distract with, but the majority don’t. Usually mail in ballots are reserved for those who apply for them out of necessity, that usually have at least a temporary address to receive one at, or due to disabilities. But it’s never in the numbers CA has.
Me thinks this is why CA mails them to everybody, so that they can get away with this sham.
Oregon has had ONLY MAIL IN VOTING for 40 years. For 40 years we have never had any Republican leadership. Oregon is now ranked 49th in the nation for livability and 40 years ago we were about 15th. The whole state is ruined like those stinking rancid dive Democrat cities across the nation.
There is no way I could live in a state like Oregon or WA. Beautiful states but It would be so depressing to know my votes wouldn’t count and there is no end to the corruption that occurs.
Hopefully ordinary people are noticing that if the democrats can completely steal elections, then they don't worry about doing a good job running the government. Theft and graft run rampant, and city services get worse and worse.
Postal voting is abused by the Muslim community in the UK, with Imams and family heads filling out the voting papers for everyone else. Postal votes should be limited to the military, or those with verifiable physical disabilities or temporary absence. They should also be capped at, say, 5% of the plebiscite. Of course, the current Marxist regime will do nothing about it.
I would leave it for seniors. Many of my neighbors do not drive and it would be a hardship for them to go stand in line at the polls. What if you are traveling at the time of the election?? Doing business in another state on a job assignment for your company ? There is a need for mail in ballots in some cases. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just use the bar codes. I have voted by mail in Orange County CA for several years. They questioned my signature one year and I had to clear it up. Orange County CA uses bar codes on their mail in ballots it seems to work. I get a text when my ballot has been counted. All of CA is not third world thankfully.
This opens up the door to permanently solidify massive ballot harvesting at nursing homes and care facilities, which is currently happening now and should be stopped!! It’s a huge problem!
In our election board, the election board workers travel to every one of the NH and AL facilities during the 6 weeks of 'excuse' early voting, and any resident who has filled out a absentee request form in advance can vote on the day they come out. And have to show ID. We got my mom a state ID since she does not drive any more.
As a senior citizen, I appreciate the option of a mail-in ballot. It also allows time to carefully read the amendments or whatever that are often presented in deceptive language and to research the local candidates.
Barcodes and no counting past Election Day sound essential to fairness.
Everyone should be able to get their ballots in on time.
It can work. I had a residence in MI but worked various jobs around the country. I would apply for a mail-in ballot. I'd get a reply at my residence address with paperwork, requiring signature, to be filled out and returned. They would analyze my address/signature and THEN mail my ballot to my residence. Vote, sign the return envelope, mail back. Absentee voting can work, the way they've bastardized the system with no checks and balances will NEVER work.
Mail in balloting works as you describe it, John George, because you’re honest and follow the rules. Trouble is, many folks and local governments aren’t!
Because people like me retired overseas. (7000 in this city) We are American Citizens and have the right to vote by mail. We send ours DHL and they arrive in two days. We can easily send them in to arrive on election day.
States run the voting for all state and local gov. So states choose the voting methods they use.
Federal elections are often mixed into state elections so we vote for federal positions like congressional candidates right along with local positions.
So if the states really want to, they can keep their old voting methods for the state and local, and partition the federal positions into the compliance method for federal candidates.
The kicker is the states MUST COMPLY with federal rules for federal candidates. This means they have to show their voter rolls. Lots of states don’t want to. And the ballot bar code is going to throw a monkey wrench into things as well. Cheaters can’t have a traceable chain of custody.
Running parallel elections for two separate voter systems is not feasible financially and logistically for most states. So they cry. The mail in ballets with bar codes and required voter rolls cleaned up will help a lot to make sure only citizens vote.
It won’t fix the hanky signature issues, ballet harvesting, and counting till they win problem initially. That will have to be lawsuits and SCOTUS. The bar codes will help prove fraud in court, if they can get it there. Going to be a long hard haul to drag the west coast states and judiciary into compliance, and others. What a mess.
Yeah bar codes are a step, but not the panacea. I would hardly call Arizona and Colorado "responsible election jurisdictions", maybe more sophisticated at election fraud, lest we forget about Hobbs, Polis, Shrek Kelly, and of course that little middle of the night nitrous oxide boost in the 2020 presidential election. Barcodes tracing mail in ballots is all fine and dandy, but who is controlling the machines, counting, and verifying them is what matters.
Today the Catholic Church celebrates the glorious Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus — a day that reminds us of how deeply, personally and tenderly Our Lord loves us.
His Heart burns with mercy for sinners, comfort for the sorrowful, strength for the weary and peace for every soul that turns to Him.
What a beautiful day to draw a little (or a lot) closer to Jesus!
The Apostle Paul, to the Corinthians: "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified."
Whatever Church or "church" you attend, pay attention to this.
Know Who Jesus is and what He did. He is God the Son, God in human flesh. He was, He is, He is to come. He died to take the penalty for your sin, and to deliver you from slavery to sin. He rose again on the third day, and sits at the right hand of our Father!
If you believe this, you are my brother or sister! I'll see you in the assembly!
Nithya allocated millions to homeless NGOs run by her socialist cronies. In return, they harvest ballots from drug zombies for her. Evidence is piling up - do we have enough for a case?
Since Illegals are being deported, the Homeless represent the next best cohort for Election and Financial Fraud. Since LA has nice weather, it’s a homeless destination. Time to end the Homeless Industrial Complex.
I read yesterday on X that the late mail in ballots for Nithya also passed the increased sales tax bill that was on the ballot. I think it went from 9.5% to 10.25-50. It wasn’t passing before the drop.
The Inconceivable Power of Your Encouragement, By Unknown:
As a group of frogs were traveling through the woods, two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs crowded around the pit and saw how deep it was, they told the two frogs that there was no hope left for them.
However, the two frogs decided to ignore what the others were saying and they proceeded to try and jump out of the pit.
Despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of the pit were still saying that they should just give up. That they would never make it out.
Eventually, one of the frogs took heed to what the others were saying and he gave up, falling down to his death. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die.
He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?”
The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
Hey, wait a minute. How did the frogs at the top explain it to the deaf frog? Did they have a sign language interpreter? Or did they use a text message?
It seems to me that the real issue isn't the use of bar codes on ballots, it's the "approved voter lists" that the D's are loathe to turn over. Any list of voters can be crosschecked against all sorts of sources...from Social Security roles to ICE catch and release records to grave registrations. That's really what the D's don't want!
Precisely. Because if some large counties in Arizona and Colorado are already using ballot envelopes with barcodes, and still those two states have two of the most corrupt voting systems, obviously the bar code is not stopping their cheat.
I Found this answer to my Oregon Bar Code Questions:
In 2021 Oregon switched from physically putting a stamp on our return envelope to having it be postage paid (by the government). When this happened, I thought it was a pretty good idea. But it had the unintended (or maybe intended) consequence of in some (many? most?) cases eliminating the physical postmark. You can read the analysis by Grok below but the bottom line is, we effectively extended the ballot collection window by 7 days...
AA Question to Grok: I live in Oregon. When we switched from having to apply a stamp to return our ballot to prepaid envelopes, did we lose the physical stamped postmark? If so, how would one determine if a ballot was "postmarked" (processed) by election day?
Grok's Answer: Yes, Oregon switched from requiring voters to apply their own stamp to using prepaid return envelopes (business reply mail). This change happened via Senate Bill 861, passed in the 2019 legislative session and effective January 2020. Voters no longer need to put a stamp on the ballot return envelope—the state/county covers the postage via a printed indicia (postage-paid business reply mark) and barcode on the envelope.
Did You Lose the Physical Stamped Postmark?
In a practical sense, yes—the traditional setup changed. Previously, you affixed a stamp, and USPS would typically cancel it with a visible postmark (often a circular hand-stamp or machine mark with the date and location) when the envelope entered the mail stream.
Now: There is no stamp for USPS to cancel. The envelope has a pre-printed “postage paid” business reply indicia instead. USPS still processes the mail and applies marks, but these are often different: machine-printed marks, fluorescent indicators, barcodes, or other processing notations rather than a prominent traditional dated postmark. Due to the nature of Qualified Business Reply Mail (QBRM) and USPS operational changes (especially noted in 2025–2026), a clear, visible, same-day physical postmark is not guaranteed. Mail may be processed and marked later (when it reaches a sorting facility) rather than the day you drop it in a mailbox.
Election officials anticipated this and use a broader definition.
How Officials Determine If a Ballot Was “Postmarked” (Processed) by Election Day
Oregon law (ORS 254.470 and OAR 165-007-0045) defines a “postmark” or “postal indicator” as any official mark, imprint, or stamp that verifies when a ballot was accepted by the United States Postal Service. This explicitly includes hand cancellations and other evidence of USPS processing.
Here’s exactly how timeliness is determined:
Ballots received by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day — Counted automatically. No postmark check is required (they meet the deadline by physical receipt at the county elections office or official drop box). Ballots received after 8:00 p.m. on Election Day but within 7 calendar days — These can still be counted only if there is evidence the ballot was accepted into the USPS mail stream on or before Election Day. Officials follow this process: Primary evidence: Visible postmark or postal indicator on the envelope (earlier date controls if there are multiple). If no clear/legible visible postmark: Elections staff use available USPS tools (scanners, tracking data, fluorescent readers, barcode information, etc.) to verify the mailing/processing date. If USPS tools also cannot confirm the date: Officials accept a signed declaration on the ballot return envelope itself as evidence of the mailing date. If that declaration indicates it was mailed by Election Day, the ballot is counted (provided it is otherwise valid and signed). Ballots received more than 7 days after Election Day are not counted, regardless of postmark. This system is designed to be voter-friendly while maintaining security and deadlines. The broad “postal indicator” definition plus the 7-day receipt window and declaration fallback help ensure timely-mailed ballots aren’t rejected just because a traditional visible postmark is faint or absent on a prepaid envelope.
Ok so Washington state is VBM only and has the barcode I believe. But nobody is comparing it to voter roles. Thats the key is to compare against the dead or mostly dead ☠️!
I live in Washington and my son received ballots for years after he registered in Florida (undergrad) and then New York (PhD). He requested to be dropped multiple times and after SEVEN! years he finally was.
My father lived in Florida when he died. Within a few weeks I called the county registrar where he had lived and asked if they were aware of his death which they were. I said, “Good. He was a lifelong Republican and I don’t want him starting to vote Democrat.”
I lived in WI when my husband passed away and I also went in person to the village hall to make sure they knew he died and shouldn’t be on the voter rolls. I followed up after several elections to make sure no one had voted using his name.
No, it’s not about whether the person is real - because these people do exist - it’s about whether the ballots are sent to a legit legal address or not. 9 times out of 10 the person on the voter role exists, but they are not receiving their ballot. Instead, the ballots are sent to an address where they are collected and harvested on their behalf.
I should add that there are indeed a lot of voters that DO need to be purged from the voter rolls. Many have died yes, many have moved, and many should not have been added to the voter roll in the first place - just to name a few.
How did our once God fearing Constitutional Republic get to this DEBACLE of "Pseudo" DEMONcracy? The homeless voting 'charade' that you lay out for us to devour, J. C., actually makes me NAUSEOUS. Is THIS the beginning of the end of the "United" States of America??? I will be praying for President Trump's second administration even more arduously than I have been--to remain zealous and devoted to the precepts of our Divinely-inspired U S Constitution and to REVERSE this degenerate trend in our governance.
My HOPE lies ONLY in our Creator God and His righteous ways!!
And one of the bigger problems is this….in California (and some other states) ballot harvesting is legal. So when all these ballots come to the NGO, and the staff votes them (because we all know they do) then how does anyone prove they are illegal ballots?
Plausible deniability has always been the escape and the issue with these evil communists…
2012 in California allowed non family members to return ballots. This link gives great information on the trajectory over the years. What is sickening to me is that voting should be treated as a sacred honor to uphold our republic and it has become a manipulated and fraudulent process….
A long time ago. Originally, when America was an actual republic, voting was considered a serious responsibility that one had to earn. You had to prove yourself worthy to vote. That generally meant you had to be a productive, married male who owned property and thus had proven himself to be responsible and mature enough to vote on issues that affected the whole community.
"Democracy" is a socialist system that allows the ruling political class to corrupt the entire political process by simply dispensing largess to the voting public and thus "buying" their votes. This is how we got to where we are where every warm body - and in some cases even cold bodies - gets to vote, at least once or perhaps more. It doesn't matter if the voter is a homeless drug addict, a teenage child or even a non-citizen alien, his judgement is considered worthy enough to vote. All of this was predictable.
Voting has ALWAYS been "a manipulated and fraudulent process" as soon as one-person/one-vote became the rule.
Maybe that’s where we should start focusing this fight. Instead of cowering when they say “every vote counts!” And “you’re trying to prevent people from voting” we should respond “every vote shouldn’t count and here’s why”. Make them argue their one-person, one-vote logic because then our own logic will be heard too.
Thank you Juju! This is the problem. You cannot win an argument when you allow the opposition to SET THE TERMS OF THE DEBATE. The Leftists always win the debate because we allow them to define the terms (I think this is done on purpose as part of the Uniparty psyops). Voting is NOT a "right". Nor is it a privilege. Voting is a responsibility that must be qualified!
All our arguments and efforts will amount to nothing because the very premise of the political system is based on falsehoods which any of the American founders would immediately recognize. This is why Ben Franklin said "...if you can keep it."
IF they could actually HEAR - that might dissuade "some" progressives--but their minds are SO saturated with putrid progressivism - I believe you would be talking to "deaf ears", Juju--but KEEP on KEEPING ON - it is our duty if we TRULY love our Divinely-inspired U S Constitution.
Here’s a fun one. Our daughter is a special needs adult. She cannot make her own financial, social, medical or otherwise decisions. Her cognitive level does not allow for her to understand any of that. So. In this system. We had to hire a lawyer and petition the court when she turned 18 to be given permission to make all those decisions for her. She can no longer enter into a contract, make any decision about her life without us doing it for her. She has been deemed incapacitated. We had to do this to protect ourselves and her in Oregon and then AGAIN in Florida when we moved there. Don’t even get me started at the hefty price tag to hire lawyers 2 times to accomplish this. 😡
However. As the courts took away every right she has as a human being they demanded she retain the right to vote! That’s it. That is the oNLY right she retained. 🙄 She cannot make any of life’s decisions on her own BUT they want her to vote. 🙄 They expect somehow miraculously on voting day that she can determine who the best choice is and what the issues are. She miraculously can understand all the measures on the ballot and dissect them with such intellect she will understand which one to vote for and against! Ha! But don’t dare ask her to add 2+2 or sign her name to have a bank account. I just looked at them with dumbfounded disbelief. Do they even hear themselves!!! How idiotic is that! I have no words.
It gets better.
We went to the tax collector in Florida to get her an ID card at which time they asked if she wanted to register to vote. I said yes on her behalf, since the courts told me she has that right. The lady asked her if she was Republican or Democrat. My daughter always repeats what you say last 😂 So even though I worked with her the whole drive there that she is republican…..guess what she said. Hahahahaha. I looked at the lady and said register her as Republican. The lady didn’t know what to do. Then registered her Republican, clearly against my daughters say so 🙄. The stupidity is rising. lol.
It gets better. Stay with me. lol.
We decided to not have her vote because being people with a conscience vs people who don’t care if they have to cheat to win…we did not take her to the polls and fill out her ballot for her -even though the court said she has the right to “vote”. So we just voted ourselves and left it at that. After 2 voting cycles we get mail from the county that says since she did not vote 2 cycles they would be removing her from the voter roll unless they heard from us.
Imagine that! Clean voter rolls! Dead people stay on for decades but my daughter misses 2 of them and off she goes! Hahahaha
We just shake our heads. And I agree. 20 yrs from now ???
Btw. I realized as I re-read what I wrote I forgot to say that the process we went through was to obtain legal guardianship. She did nothing wrong. She was either born this way or vax injured as a baby. The system has seen to it that we’ll never actually know the truth of what caused this. But hey! She can vote if we go register her…again 😉
I was just popping in to say this. Property owners are actually paying the taxes. Homeless people shouldn’t get to vote if they don’t have a dog in the fight.
Same voting scam is run in nursing homes, including memory care centers. I had my mother's mail sent to me so I simply destroyed her ballots when they arrived, even though it would have been easy to have filled it out and had her sign it, which she would have done. But I would not do it, even though I knew which candidates she would have supported. (The State of Washington would not allow me to cancel her registration, even when her doctor declared her to be "mentally incompetent to conduct legal or financial transactions".)
The nurse at her memory care facility had no such scruples and laughed about "helping" residents fill out their ballots. Said she had done it at every place she had ever worked...
The State didn’t allow a cancellation of registration? I didn’t know they could even do that. Especially with a doctor’s statement. But cheating here in Washington is, I’m sure, real, and they need to keep as many ballots as possible circulating out there.
No, they would not allow me to cancel her registration, even with a POA and the letter from her doctor. They said the only way it could be done would be to bring her into the office and have her request it herself. But taking her anywhere was a huge ordeal so I simply tore up her ballots instead. I think the system is set up so that nursing home staff can do exactly what they did with all the ballots that arrived at their facility!
I feel like that is a strategy to gain power and control by those infesting our corrupt government. Make something a huge ordeal, and people will just give up. Like returning a defective item to a store or website. Nah, don’t have time. Except with government, in this case, we don’t just eat the loss, we forfeit our sacred vote. Every illegitimate vote cancels a legitimate one.
Exactly!! And the fact that most families have no idea that their parent's ballot is being filled out allows the practice to continue. Wasn't it in Wisconsin in 2020 that there was 100% voter participation from nursing homes across the state?
In my case, I would have reported it, but did not know the full names of the specific residents and had no way to contact their family members. I could have made an accusation against the nurse, but without a corresponding complaint filed by the family it would have gone nowhere and I would have made an enemy of the person who was in charge of my mother's medical care! The nurse was a competent clinician, but also a vocal Leftist so I have no doubt which way she "helped" the residents fill out their ballots! And sadly, many of them never had visitors so maybe their families lived out of town or they didn't have anyone who would have cared one way or the other.
No, I did check the state database to verify that no ballot in either of my parents' names was received...I even checked under my mother's maiden name, just in case!
Full disclosure: I posted this same response to PoliticoPhil above. It just fit here too.

If we were in Oregon they would have NEVER removed her never-mind even constant her. At least Florida seems to be trying to keep it current.
Maybe we could just vote through Amazon! They are reliable, same day delivery and I do get a picture of every order delivered to my door. And…I can pull up every order I’ve ever made; the date when it was made and if I want to see the invoice! I can’t even mail a gift card through the USPS with confidence that somewhere along the route from drop off to delivery my gift card has not disappeared. I vote for Amazon LOL!!
You jest but ain't it the truth? Think about how the market has solved all sorts of problems with security and efficiency. Your average teenage hacker could build a system better than the city full of bureaucrats, even assuming they weren't corrupt in the first place building in bias on purpose.
"The bureacracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureacracy."
'Bureacracy' is also a crazy hard word to spell, which fits right in their with its primaru mission of creating tangled to the hilt spaghetti codes and regulations so that everyone is always guilty of something.
I guess Amazon is fairly reliable, but last week I received deliveries at my front door intended for two different apartment buildings around the corner.
🤔 I never stopped to consider what other addresses experience. Our single family home in a suburban neighborhood has only experienced inaccurate delivery three times since 2012. Once a neighbor’s box/bag came to us and twice they delivered ours to different houses. All of us had very similar numeric addresses just off by one digit so I can understand how it might happen. But that’s a pretty darn good track record for 14 years, and we order something almost every stinking day and have subscribe and save too. I mean, we have ordered a LOT all those years.
But it never occurred to me how apartment complexes or townhomes or condos could experience different results. A lot more opportunity for mistakes!
I send a lot of gifts to the grandkids and others by Amazon but I do have listed on their addresses their specific delivery instructions listed. So it should not be a problem most times. But I know there has to be in some areas.
Amazon has it's own problems. We've seen packages asking the road side, delivery ppl who can't read the whole address, been getting the new neighbors packages for months now and you can't contact anyone to fix the tool map pin.
The person ordering needs to do the contacting to correct their delivery information. But I do understand and if you are delivering the package to your neighbor, request delivery fee lol.
Yes, our neighborhood had a few of those once but had it taken care of by the police and a locked fence by the HOA. Then we had residents —apparently non-Amazon orderers—complain about ‘locked fences’. Can we not have any happy people in this world?
Yeah this homeless voting thing: Bass wanted Spencer disqualified from being an LA citizen because his home burned down, but literal homeless people with NO address are encouraged to vote. 🤦♂️
The level of integrity - or lack thereof - to attempt to disqualify a person from citizenship because he didn't have a residence in your city - after YOU let his residence burn down - is appalling in the extreme. Is this on record?
I can't think up enough insulting epithets for Bass, but my gentility prevents me from uttering them here in mixed company.
After some research, it appears to have been the LA Times who brought up Pratt's residency requirements issue, to which he responded by occupying an Airstream trailer on his burned-out lot.
AI: Spencer Pratt criticized the Los Angeles Times for questioning his residency status, claiming it was an unfair attack on him during his mayoral campaign. He stated, "Hey, brain surgeon! My house burned down," emphasizing that his legal residence remains the burned-out lot in the Palisades despite living temporarily in Carpinteria.
"California’s Deputy AG Michael Cohen told a federal court that “it’s just difficult to overstate the disruption that this will cause to election administration.”"
So, Michael Cohen's metric is "minimal disruption" and not election integrity?
DO YOUR JOB, Michael.
If it's too hard, Californians should find someone else. If they won't, it's because they WANT to cheat.
It’s difficult for Michael to overstate it because his state’s election administration is so hopelessly disrupted now that it is worse than every other electoral jurisdiction on the planet. He can’t conceive of counting in less than a month what other nations do in a day. “Difficult” being the operative word.
Uhh, food for thought: one should maybe never use the word 'pizza' in a title, it's a signal for pedophiles that the person utilizing that term it is one.
Ya know, these freaks: Jennifer Garner Reads satanic Pedophile Secret Pizza Party Book to School Children Millstones Needed: https://old.bitchute.com/video/rgs2E6UZCqft [27mins]
Admirable. But you will also attract the wrong type of people and attention and assumptions will be made.
Macaulay Culkin was a victim and named his band 'The Pizza Umderground', and his videos are filled with hellish imagery. Not something one would want to be associated with.
The critical importance of prudence runs throughout the Book of Proverbs and speaks to who you associate with either by language or proximity which are essentially the same.
Pinapple and pizza are a match made in the vicinity of heaven! We can never be friends now for you have shown your true colors Doc, and they’ve been found wanting =’(
We had sheets of rain for several hours at a time for the past two days. Our in ground pool actually overflowed! My husband had to backwash it out after work yesterday in the pouring rain, poor soul, after working 12 hours. (Before you tsk tsk me for not doing it myself, our backwash hose is an actual fire hose that I can barely lift up. 😆 All the pool industry supplied hoses got holes in them after just one or two uses so we retrofitted to use a fire hose. We are going on 7 years? I think, with that hose - and he had to duck tape a spot this year for first time. Best solution ever … unless you have three days of rain… Lol)
Anyway, nice and cool here for now. 65 and steady cool breeze.
Aaand….the little issue of first having to empty the skimmer basket after that kind of rain, and I have a deathly serious arachnophobia problem. 🤣 They love to sit atop the leaves and stuff just waiting for that lid to be lifted, big ones. Uh - noooooo. I’d let my entire property flood before I’d ever empty that thing 😆
The bar codes are a great idea, but why not just do away entirely with this mail in voting unless you are stationed overseas? No more long drawn out elections with days/weeks of voting, mailed ballots, and all the nonsense - One election on one election day where everyone has to get there butts there to actually vote in person.
Agree. And make it a 24 hour voting day.
And we could call it “election DAY”
How about “Pride in Election” Day just to confuse the LGBTQ nuts?
😆
Great idea! Let’s have Pride in the 4th of July, Pride in Veterans’Day, Pride in Thanksgiving….
Excellent, David!
Novel idea!
The lefts assault on common sense is endless. " LA County officials, the article reported, have themselves pulled $300 million from LAHSA, and built their own department, because the agency had become “unwieldy” and “mired in various layers of bureaucracy.” The Feds better audit this as well. Dollars to doughnuts, they just wanted to get their own share of the fraud.
The government method to solve incompetence, form another level of bureaucracy.
You know it!
What I'd like to know is how did DOGE miss this. And why is that homeless voting BS still on the federal elections website?
[A couple of days behind on my reading.]
You mean, the ol' paperback novels? Cuz I'm pretty sure that's the only place such a notion could materialize nowadays. 🤔
ELECTION DAY … brilliant, Peter!
I work as an election judge in my county and we are hard pressed to get people to be election judges. We are expected to work the entire Election Day from 7 am to 8 pm when the polls close and then we must hand count the ballots to make sure our chain of custody is numerically correct. Same number of ballots given and received. Plus close down the polling place because it’s usually in the HS gym. So that takes us to 9-9:30. That’s an extremely long day and you cannot leave the building. So unless you are going to volunteer to be an election judge during the early morning hours between Midnight and 6 I say there’s enough time for people to vote. It’s not like they don’t know when the day is. Better yet. Make voting day a holiday.
Unfortunately for me here in Illinois, no matter how much you apply, if you’re a conservative you get the same response: we are already overstaffed. I’m not working right now and have all the time to give and work hard. Last year I finally reached out to whomever chooses election judges and the guy was short and snippy with me, and told me he doubted I would ever get picked. All because I said I found it strange that an application from a mature, college educated adult with plenty of time was never accepted. The minute you ask questions you are disqualified. They want mostly democrats, complacent and uninformed. I certainly was none of that. 🫤
I think you should tell them you are a Democrat. Just get in the door.
But I believe they can see my registration with the Republican Party??? Otherwise I would
You know they will check your voting history/registration. That is how they manage to insure that very few, if any poll workers are republicans.
Back before the WHUU, when we had actual in-person voting, I always made it a point to gently harass the pole workers by showing my I.D. as I signed my name and printed my address. The reactions were priceless! Hand waving, looks of disgust, insuring me that they were not allowed to ask for I.D.! It made me wonder if the poll workers were told that they would be tested and if they even so much as looked at identification, they would be FIRED from their volunteer position and legal charges would be filed. Lol
Don’t you live in PrickSters hell? Open primary is where I ask for R or D ballot. . I’m not registered. I never did anything proclaiming my party officially here. So what if past elections you were something different. I voted D many times in my ignorant past. F them.
Change your mind. It’s allowed.
Wow - in our state, you have to have an equal number of R's and D's at every poll. The only glitch in that is that MO does not require party registration, so they just take you at your word. I have heard in the KC election board district there ARE D's who just tell the election board that they are R's so some polls are 100% D's. KC went 80% for Harris, so finding R's to work is a problem. The legislature did pass a law that said we can work in election board areas other than our own, so I COULD sign up to be a poll worker in KC but it's a long drive, many are in sketchy areas, and we already have to be there at 5 AM so I stick to working the polls in my own neighborhood.
Legislature NEEDS to pass 'closed primaries' which would necessitate party registration and then you can only get the ballot for the party you are registered as in the primaries. A lot of D's cross over in August and vote for the weakest R, which then helps them in November. Many of us actually considering it as we have a county exec race where there is one very moderate D and several left wing nut jobs - our R candidate is just a placeholder and will not win in Nov so I may ask for a D ballot just to vote for the moderate D - whoever wins the primary is going to win in the General, and there is only 1 race on my ballot (state senate) where there are 2 R's running and it's a foregone conclusion that one is going to win. But it hurts to think about asking for a D ballot, not sure I can do it.
Prior to the run-up to the 2020 Election, our son decided to bite the bullet and change his registration from Non-Partisan to Republican, because he was not able to vote for Trump as a NP, in under California's primary election rules. His Republican ballot never arrived, though he registered within the time restrictions! Was this a Registrar of Voters SNAFU, or a rogue postal worker deciding who receives Ballots? The fact that a ballot does not arrive, means having to obtain a provisional ballot. During mail-in/Plandemic rules, that meant driving to the Registrars office in the County seat, to vote. If only he had been homeless and living in LA.
I was told the same thing, which is why I applied. I find it hard to believe they had more than enough Rs around me. This is deep blue country and there aren’t that many active Rs. Most are asleep.
I hit like but wish we had a 'sad' option.
My county is red in my state, which is the same as your state, Juju. PRICKster SUCKS. Still many of those signs around.
This system is broken. I want a ballot with everyone's name on it, regardless of "party." I want to vote for the person not its "party." If the primary switcheroos are the problem, get rid of the primaries! Everyone vote, at the polls, on Election DAY, for whoever they dam well want. Tally the ballots through the night, winner take all. Have a nice day.
The whole point of a primary is for members of each party to choose their representative. They need to be closed to prevent shenanigans. Eliminating them altogether would result in run-offs in every single election, because it is virtually impossible for any one candidate to receive 50% of the vote when there are numerous candidates.
Donna, we have to fight fire with fire. Be strategic, even though it’s disgusting politically.
I asked for a R ballot from a trans woman poll worker in 2024. Have to admit, he kept his smile intact.
SC has open primaries too, which is how we can't get rid of Lindsey Graham.
Fake it! Tell them you want to make sure no more candidates like Kamala Harris get cheated.
They run as Republicans to get elected.
In my county, workers of different parties identified by colored lanyards, are required for all ballot receiving and processing, simply to eliminate the appearance on impropriety. Observers can easily identify that there is a mix of party for every task. Keep applying Juju, and thank you!
Sounds like NY/NJ
I am not sure what an election judge is. I have been an e-tablet worker (greet, register and hand ballot to them) and an election clerk (oversee everyone else at my precinct).
Replying to Elaine H. I guess it depends on the state. In my county in Montana we do not use electronic devices. But I do the same thing. We check them in manually and have them sign the register. Give them a ballot and then help them to put the voted ballot into the locked box. Your second role would be called the head election judge who oversees the provisional table and deal with any issues that crop up for our multi-precinct voting station.
I have also applied to be an election judge for every election in the past twenty years (11 years in Illinois and 9 years in Florida) and have never been selected to serve. Most of the time I don't even receive a response at all except the acknowledgment that they received my application.
Replying to JuJu. Sad. Our registrar is very fair and non-biased. We have both Republicans and Democrats who work the polls. I couldn’t even say which way she votes which is pretty remarkable these days. Can you file a complaint?
LOL not in blue counties so close to Chicagoland. I did make a phone call to complain to the main election guy, and the man was so rude it was off putting
Wow - Illinois is even more corrupt than I thought. Here in AZ I've been a poll worker or observer over the years - and always the requirements called for equal numbers of Republicans & Democrats. At least that is fair!
Well they DO “require” that, but there’s always too many republicans applying - or so they say. Absolutely not true. Everything is corruptible, even election rules.
At our polling place they require the exact same number of DemonRAT judges as Republican judges. We have to declare our party verbally every time.
In other words, they want truly useful idiots...(or ringers).
Everything you said is correct. I think they make it so long, tiring ard tedious on purpose.
Why can't there be two shifts? What is the reasoning behind that setup?
So you've been there all day. You're tired and exhausted and now you're supposed to count everything. Plus you have to drive it to wherever it's dropped off which adds more time and energy. It's ridiculous. Two shifts are needed. One day.
I've been a judge for the last 6 years. We have to be there at 5 AM and then have to close out the poll when they close at 7, so if everything goes smoothly we are out at 8-8:30. Shut down machines and pack away all supplies in a locked rolling cabinet, make sure the chain of custody is correct - place all ballots in locked bags along with the memory stick from the tabulator and then one R and one D deliver to a supervisor judge team of one R and one D who are at a nearby collection point for about 6 polls. When all of the polls have dropped their ballots & stick at that point, the 2 party team drives them to the Election board. We usually have 100% reporting results on the election board website by 9:30 or 10:00.
We've been told we can't leave and have to work the whole day - I think mainly due to if there is a problem at a poll you have the same set of eyes all day, and makes scheduling easier. It IS a long day, but it's not like it's physically taxing, and in Aug and Nov elections it's steady enough that the time goes faster than you realize. April/local ones can drag at times as it's low turnout most of the time, so you have time to stare at the clock. We have to be partnered with a D at all times/positions at the poll, so a lot of it depends on if the D you are working with is a decent person or a nut job you can't wait to get away from.
My goodness! I have so much respect and appreciation for you who work at the polls. It sounds grueling to me, I’m way too old for that. So I thank you all, just as I do the folks who are working when I go to vote.
And thank you Donna for a detailed description of the duties.
This will be my first ever time working the elections this Aug and Nov in FL.
I've got to finish the online classes and attend an in person event next week but I'll be doing my civic duty!
Silver lining is that there are some decent people out there with D's by their name. We are not allowed to talk politics while working but in reality EVERYTHING is political and it is a little encouraging to find that we can usually find some common ground, or something to talk about, like gardening. In my regular life I have pretty much jettisoned D's from my circle since covid.
When I worked the polls in WA state (before mail-in). We had the same procedures. We had to balance exactly. All ballots had to be accounted for - those voted, voided, or not used. Now, I cringe when I see that precincts show a difference of hundreds of ballots!
Thank you Donna for the detailed reply. You bring up good points.
I do have confidence in our election results, it seems to be a good well thought out system. Of course then there is a question of the voter rolls, but we do require a photo ID.
Thank you for your service.
Donna, you described the exact same process we follow in Cass County, MO. It is a very long day but I’m willing to volunteer my time to have my eyes and ears focused all day on election integrity!
Being retired, I considered applying, but there’s no way I could do a day like that.
I have back issues, can’t sit that long and am limited to 25 lbs. for lifting.
To Willing Spirit: You can ask if they will do a split shift for you. You don’t need to sit the entire time. Our head judge shifts people around to do different tasks during the day. And if you can’t lift they will have someone else do it. They need people and should be accommodating. I would suggest you inquire. The worst that would happen is you don’t participate. But it’s rewarding to see and participate in the process.
It's one day. I've done it. It was fun to see everyone come into to cast their ballots, exercise their right. And I'm still alive.
Responding to Laura: Part of the problem is that we don’t have enough poll workers. Our head judge tries to do two shifts. I used to split shift with someone but she moved out of state. So we need to find someone else.
I've worked the last 4 elections and agree with everything you stated.
Plus, in our county, it's now set-up and tear-down of voting machines. My last service was at a location with 14 machines. Each machine/case weighs about 50 lbs. The "system" to set-up, open/close polls, tear down is an utter PITA. And we're expected to operate as "tech support" as well (fix paper feeds, replace paper rolls, address error messages, etc.)
I've decided never again, unless we go back to paper ballots.
Visions of 'hanging chads' suddenly crossed my mind. But in all seriousness, the machines make me nervous, I much prefer the scantron bubbles, as they seem to be the most accurate, secure and fastest to tabulate.
My mail in ballot in FRAUD-U-FORNIA was a scantron format. But oddly, it took 6 days for it to show as accepted by my my County Registrars office! I could have driven it over in about 1-2 hour depending on traffic.
The whole ‘hanging chads’ episode was a hoax to cover for the fact that Dan Rather of CBS called the state of Florida for Al Gore at 6p.m. CST.
Thousands of conservative military connected Florida panhandle voters were waiting in line to vote after a hard day at work and instead went home in disgust at that point.
I personally took my ballot into the County Court House and dropped it into the Ballot Box and it did not show up on the State website for almost a week. I called them every day after the 3rd day but they always said "Don't worry. It is being processed." They received it but whether or not the votes are actually tabulated correctly, who knows. I can see someone somewhere scanning the envelope bar code and then tossing it into the trash can without ever opening it. "See we got it!". I will never ever trust the government.
Thank you, Karmy, for your dedication and service to your community and to our country!
I am an election judge in MN. That sounds about right, but we do have the option of working half days 6:00-2:00 or 2:00-8:00 plus close-out including tying out the # of ballets to the machine tape and to the receipts. (We don’t count the actual vote per candidate!) We do have early voting - which is needed if you are assigned to a polling location that is not your own. We have to have 2 head judges - one of each major party.
SurvivorWen You're the first person I've heard of that has worked where you can do two shifts.
I wonder if it's a state requirement? Here in Arizona you have to be there all day.
That could be. I’ve worked almost all elections and primaries since 2021 and we’ve always had at least a few folks coming and going throughout the day.
To Laura: we do split shifts in Montana as long as there are enough people to cover. It doesn’t hurt to ask.
I’d go a little further and make it a three day voting holiday. Sunday Monday Tuesday.
To Joseph Kaplan. Why three days? People know when Election Day is. It’s not a secret. One day is plenty of time otherwise you are not giving the day the importance it needs. Make it a holiday.
And pay gubmint employees extra?
NO. WAY.
Many people work on a 12 hour shift. 7am-7pm. Very difficult to reach their polling place vote. So country-wide hours would need to accomodate shift workers.
I agree it should be a holiday. No excuses!
I'm not in this situation, but there are many hospital workers that work only 12 hours shifts that typically run from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.. Then toss in the drive time to their polling place and that makes it difficult for some. Maybe not 24 hours, but maybe 18 at least.
I also work as an election judge in my county. We have to be there by 5:30 am and end at about the same time as you do and it sounds like we follow the same process. It’s a long day but I want to know I’m doing a small part in trying to maintain election integrity, at least in my county. I always love to see the parents who bring their children with them so they can observe the importance of voting in person on Election Day.
Thank you for your service Karmy. It sounds like your county needs more precincts, reduce the load on heavily populated neighborhoods.
To S.P.H. My polling place has multiple precincts. There are other polling places throughout the valley.
And a Holiday😎
I’d rather have Election Day as a holiday over Juneteenth or Indigenous Persons Day!
Mrs. M, we don't have national holidays, we have federal (or state) holidays, which give government workers paid time off. Most private employers and many job categories are open for business on most or all of those 10 or so days,:at their own discretion, since our government thankfully cannot tell businesses when they must close (yet, or at least always, since they did during Covid). This would advantage government workers over private sector workers or those who work in hospitals or are first responders (police, fire, EMS). A brief period of early voting, e.g. a few days or up to a week or so, should suffice for the vast majority without compromising election security, as we do in Florida.
There's a huge difference between mass mail in ballots and requested and verified absentee ballots
This is so important, and has gotten so out of hand! I see your logic on “election week”, but would add: all ballots must be in and counted by 11:59 p.m. Election Day (Night).
✌🏼🫶☕️🍪
Auto-pen Day!
When you say “a holiday”, just how many days do you have in mind? 😂
There is no need for that. Our elections operated just fine before Mail in voting without 24 hour elections.
Way before mail in ballots, Allegheny County in Pennsylvania always had "ballots ready to be counted " in boxes in the courthouse in case Democrats were in danger of losing.
So Pennsylvania is completely corrupt then?
Penny, in Florida, that would mean that election workers would be on duty for more than 24 hours, because it's the same staff for the entire day, including setup and end of day reporting and breakdown. It's already almost inhumanly long. Most of the workers are civic-minded citizens getting paid almost nothing.
I have even suggested 8:00 am Tuesday until 8:00 pm Wednesday. No excuse, I can't get to the pools. And no announcing vote counts until the polls are closed.
Disagree with 24 hrs Penny. Polls closing at 8pm has been the law for as long as I can remember. I worked a 24/48 hour shift for many years and never had a problem voting. Establishing voting day for federal elections a national holiday should assure every registered voter has the time to cast their ballot before 8pm.
For most of my adult life, I voted by mail in because we are a military family. On the ballot, (in the small print) it said these votes are not counted unless the race is “too close to call“. At some point I had taken a picture of that because even everyone I knew who voted the same way did not know that.
"These votes are not counted unless the race is 'too close to call,' ...at which time they will be counted just enough times to create yet another statistical come-from-behind miracle."
This used to piss me off to no end, when I was voting from "the desert."
My third party votes, a "middle finger" to the system, were never counted.
Deployed 9 months out of the year, for 20 years.
Thank you for your service, Tom. Military mail in votes should be counted first, in my book, not last! Few have more right to be counted than those who selflessly serve our country. It infuriated my husband too when he was in the sandbox!
Exactly!!! My goodness I’ve NEVER heard about this before! All military ballots regardless if they are mailed in should be counted FIRST. They have earned that right.
I know in 2020 they found an anomaly of more overseas military ballots received than sent out, and of course all went to Biden 🙄 Right, as if our military would vote en masse for that clown. 🤦🏼♀️
I remember that! Outrageous
Thank you for your service.
But why do a throw-away vote?
Just curious as to what good did you think it did?
The two party system is broken. I wanted to show support for those I favored. Without support displayed by voters, that will never happen.
You have never voted for anyone from the Whig party.
This is why. The Whigs ceased to exist as a party because people "threw away" their votes and did not vote Whig.
Never heard that before. Maybe they can put it in large print on the ballots now if we still have to allow them as a way to discourage people from voting by mail.
So you, a citizen serving in our nation's military, are rewarded with disenfranchisement. Is this a great system, or what?!
Those Evile so-and-sos definitely know how to cover all the bases! 😡
I actually remember seeing that too. We get a paper ballott even tho we never asked for one
Say ,WHAAAT?
That’s like finding out the line you sign your name,on your checks isn’t actually a line. It is very,very small print saying something certainly not in our best interest. My eyes are too blurry to make it out this morning,even with a magnifying glass,but,I remember being SHOCKED when I learned that,too!
That "line" is part of the "fraud armor" package. It's nonsense characters, something like hieroglyphics, but claimed to be very difficult to reproduce by someone with a good photocopier. Use a magnifying lens and see for yourself.
No, it is actual words in microprint "Authorized Signature". Take a pic with your phone and expand to see the wording. https://sheriffbrigadesofpenn.com/2010/09/19/hidden-facts-about-your-checking-account/
Thanks - I looked at one of my checks with a 15X loupe and could not distinguish any actual letters. (Maybe I oughta stop sourcing my blank checks from the lowest bidder ...)
What “Peace” said is what is written. When I read it,years ago, THOUGHT it said something different…but,no matter. Some people think it is for more than “for our safety “..but,sometimes rabbit holes get toooo tiresome 🤨
I learned that when I worked my first election provisional and mail in ballots aren’t counted that day. And then depending on the vote totals…
Not sure about other states or counties but when I worked as an election official, that was correct. If there are only 200 absentee votes and someone is leading by 1000... not much use, but if the difference is say 100, we'd count for sure. The ballots are kept along with the others for 2 years at the Clerk of the Court, in a sealed container. They are available if needed. You vote is STILL important, just think if yours was #201, in my scenario and changed the outcome?
I appreciate the confirmation. I have been told by several people that I was wrong. I always sent in a ballot like I do now even though I know mine is thrown away. 😂😡
That's right! I'd forgotten all about that. It's been several years since my husband retired, so we've lived in the states since 1999.
This is completely wrong on many levels, Susan S!
Thanks for making a step toward arguing that the homeless might not be informed voters. That point is ignored most of the time.
True, although we can't really make "being informed" a requirement for voting. Citizens have the right to vote, informed or not. The problem is, just as in assisted living and memory care centers, the targeted population is largely not mentally capable of getting to the voting booth, or handling a mail-in ballot. If you have to do everything, from securing the ballot to practically guiding their hand while they mark the ballot - they should not be voting. And that's probably a "best case" scenario, because it really does seem that harvesters are filling out and returning the ballots "in behalf" of most homeless people.
My mom is in an assisted living facility, and the election board workers actually go to all of the NH and assisted living places to vote those who choose to vote. The residents have to fill out a 'early voting' request form in advance, so they have to be mentally acute enough to do that. Anyone who has filled out that request form can then vote absentee on the date the election board comes out. We have 6 weeks of 'excuse' early voting (health issues, military and those who sign a form saying they will be out of town on election day) and then 2 weeks of 'no excuse' early voting. Ballot harvesting is NOT legal in our state, so my mom has the option of requesting an absentee mail in ballot, or voting on the day the election officials come to her facility, or voting in person on election day. I work as a judge, but sometimes my hubby takes her, but it's just easier to vote at her place since she is in a wheelchair.
Even though ballot harvesting IS illegal, I have heard that the adjacent election board (Kansas City) to us has some shenanigans go on where people who are NOT election board officials do go to nursing homes to 'help' them vote absentee, although it's 80% blue so not like it's going to swing much.
They have that. It's called absentee ballots. You have to make the effort in advance though. It must be requested and validated that you are registered.
NOT the same as mass mail in ballots that started with Covid.
Yes, those should be banned!!
With all our advances and technology, our elections are less secure than they were before electronic voting machines and mass mail-in ballots. Also, we used to know the results of elections by the next day, whether at a local or national level. It's very unlikely that many would make the effort at assisted living facilities, or among the homeless, to register them to vote, unless the purpose was to manipulate those ballots. We need to simplify: vote in person day of, or obtain a mail-in ballot for exceptions such as health or being out of country, polls close and ballots are counted at end of day, results are known by the next day. Period.
Voting laws should require that mail in ballots be filled in with a notary present.
The notary would then sign and notarize that they witnessed that the person who filled out the ballot was indeed the registered voter. Yes, it would be expensive if done by the millions.
When you have normal people, working a job, not voting and then have hundreds of thousands of homeless crack heads voting, there is definitely something suspicious going on.
They will apparently vote for anyone who gives them $2 !! 🤦🏼♀️
Come on now, some people got $5!
😂
I thought the Save America Act was supposed to ban mail-in voting (except for excused Absentees), but last I heard that provision was dropped. And so, apparently, has the entire Act—time to get a new Majority Leader!
Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read is a complete idiot, full stop indeed.
Why?
Because Oregon ALREADY has a unique barcode printed on every mail-in ballot. Voters can also trace their vote using online website.
Oregon needs to sit this one out. It started 100% mail in voting, 1st State to do so. Only to see its neighboring States pervert it.
Oregon mail-in voting is heaped with fraud. Why else have we only had Democrats in office for 40 years? Who would continue to elect Wyden and Merkley the biggest piles of rotten garbage that ever came out of Oregon. Oregon has become nothing but a huge sh@t can for 4 decades and keeps getting worse, if that is possible.
When I pulled up to sign a petition here in Oregon to oppose the gas/registration, etc, tax increase, I asked about the petition to end mail-in voting. The woman I talked to said that most of the people who were signing the gas petition were in favor of mail-in voting. It’s just too convenient she said. I get it, it really is easy, but we’re honest people so there you go. The problem is dishonest people love it too.
Right and the dishonest people are in leadership in Oregon which is why after 4 decades of Democrat leadership it is ranked almost at the bottom of the list for livability. The entire West Coast needs to fall into the Pacific Ocean and do the entire USA a favor.
That way I might end up with an ocean view! 😉😂
Convenience will bring about the death of our nation.
I was so pleased the gas tax increase was shot down by voters, overwhelmingly. Kotek and D dominated legislature tried to push this tax increase through during session and almost succeeded. This got onto voter petition at the work of Republican state Rep, Ed Diehl.
Diehl really did us a huge favor. I voted for him. I hope and pray that Drazen wins in November but with all the cheating who knows…
She only lost by about 3% last time, they probably just quit counting.
I pulled lever for Drazen and will again in general, but I wish I had for Diehl. He really went to bat for us. Even my D wife and I daughter voted that gas tax down.
Yes, Matt L, way to let us know what is going on in OR! CA already has a barcode on the ballot and envelope too, to trace on the online website. Their arguments are disintegrating…
since they killed the SAA, this is the backup to that.
Long past time!
The bar codes obviously would provide a possible chain of custody trail. Wait, fraudsters don’t want that!
And if the homeless are expected to find their way back to whatever address they used to fill out their mail in ballot, why can’t they just make their way to the many voting locations on Election Day? Or even the early voting locations to give them a chance to get there? They aren’t filling them out. I’m sure the left has a handful that did that they can wave around and distract with, but the majority don’t. Usually mail in ballots are reserved for those who apply for them out of necessity, that usually have at least a temporary address to receive one at, or due to disabilities. But it’s never in the numbers CA has.
Me thinks this is why CA mails them to everybody, so that they can get away with this sham.
Oregon has had ONLY MAIL IN VOTING for 40 years. For 40 years we have never had any Republican leadership. Oregon is now ranked 49th in the nation for livability and 40 years ago we were about 15th. The whole state is ruined like those stinking rancid dive Democrat cities across the nation.
There is no way I could live in a state like Oregon or WA. Beautiful states but It would be so depressing to know my votes wouldn’t count and there is no end to the corruption that occurs.
That’s how I feel living in Illinois 🫤 Prickster is the worst. Our senate is the worst. It’s soooo blue even though most of the state is red
Hopefully ordinary people are noticing that if the democrats can completely steal elections, then they don't worry about doing a good job running the government. Theft and graft run rampant, and city services get worse and worse.
Postal voting is abused by the Muslim community in the UK, with Imams and family heads filling out the voting papers for everyone else. Postal votes should be limited to the military, or those with verifiable physical disabilities or temporary absence. They should also be capped at, say, 5% of the plebiscite. Of course, the current Marxist regime will do nothing about it.
I’m shocked, but I’m sure it never happens here 🙄
I would leave it for seniors. Many of my neighbors do not drive and it would be a hardship for them to go stand in line at the polls. What if you are traveling at the time of the election?? Doing business in another state on a job assignment for your company ? There is a need for mail in ballots in some cases. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just use the bar codes. I have voted by mail in Orange County CA for several years. They questioned my signature one year and I had to clear it up. Orange County CA uses bar codes on their mail in ballots it seems to work. I get a text when my ballot has been counted. All of CA is not third world thankfully.
This opens up the door to permanently solidify massive ballot harvesting at nursing homes and care facilities, which is currently happening now and should be stopped!! It’s a huge problem!
In our election board, the election board workers travel to every one of the NH and AL facilities during the 6 weeks of 'excuse' early voting, and any resident who has filled out a absentee request form in advance can vote on the day they come out. And have to show ID. We got my mom a state ID since she does not drive any more.
As a senior citizen, I appreciate the option of a mail-in ballot. It also allows time to carefully read the amendments or whatever that are often presented in deceptive language and to research the local candidates.
Barcodes and no counting past Election Day sound essential to fairness.
Everyone should be able to get their ballots in on time.
South Carolina has curbside voting. As an election worker we take the voting to anyone who qualifies- generally can't walk in or stand in line.
Yes, that's me. I move around much of the year seasonally, being retired. I go to whatever trouble I have to, to make sure I vote.
Agreed , but a week or 2 for personal voting would take care of " problems "
Move elections to Sundays. If not, then make Election Day a national holiday.
In the rest of the world, voting generally is on Sundays.
Exactly!
It can work. I had a residence in MI but worked various jobs around the country. I would apply for a mail-in ballot. I'd get a reply at my residence address with paperwork, requiring signature, to be filled out and returned. They would analyze my address/signature and THEN mail my ballot to my residence. Vote, sign the return envelope, mail back. Absentee voting can work, the way they've bastardized the system with no checks and balances will NEVER work.
Mail in balloting works as you describe it, John George, because you’re honest and follow the rules. Trouble is, many folks and local governments aren’t!
And we can know the result same night. Oh ya and show your ID
Because people like me retired overseas. (7000 in this city) We are American Citizens and have the right to vote by mail. We send ours DHL and they arrive in two days. We can easily send them in to arrive on election day.
Yes especially since American citizens even when living abroad still have to file and potentially also pay taxes.
Personally, I prefer to vote absentee. I would like to keep that option.
States run the voting for all state and local gov. So states choose the voting methods they use.
Federal elections are often mixed into state elections so we vote for federal positions like congressional candidates right along with local positions.
So if the states really want to, they can keep their old voting methods for the state and local, and partition the federal positions into the compliance method for federal candidates.
The kicker is the states MUST COMPLY with federal rules for federal candidates. This means they have to show their voter rolls. Lots of states don’t want to. And the ballot bar code is going to throw a monkey wrench into things as well. Cheaters can’t have a traceable chain of custody.
Running parallel elections for two separate voter systems is not feasible financially and logistically for most states. So they cry. The mail in ballets with bar codes and required voter rolls cleaned up will help a lot to make sure only citizens vote.
It won’t fix the hanky signature issues, ballet harvesting, and counting till they win problem initially. That will have to be lawsuits and SCOTUS. The bar codes will help prove fraud in court, if they can get it there. Going to be a long hard haul to drag the west coast states and judiciary into compliance, and others. What a mess.
And USPS is a federal entity.
Because Democrats are in a position to block that.
Maybe it would be good, but that's the reason "why not".
What they CAN'T block are things the executive branch can do without their approval, like changing USPS rules.
The truth is, they’re not really mailing many of the ballots they count, anyway. Just stuffing them into drop boxes or not even that.
The bar code (or lack thereof) would reveal this.
Yeah bar codes are a step, but not the panacea. I would hardly call Arizona and Colorado "responsible election jurisdictions", maybe more sophisticated at election fraud, lest we forget about Hobbs, Polis, Shrek Kelly, and of course that little middle of the night nitrous oxide boost in the 2020 presidential election. Barcodes tracing mail in ballots is all fine and dandy, but who is controlling the machines, counting, and verifying them is what matters.
That system worked fine for decades. I agree!
Good morning C&C!
Today the Catholic Church celebrates the glorious Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus — a day that reminds us of how deeply, personally and tenderly Our Lord loves us.
His Heart burns with mercy for sinners, comfort for the sorrowful, strength for the weary and peace for every soul that turns to Him.
What a beautiful day to draw a little (or a lot) closer to Jesus!
Jesus I Trust in You!
How valuable must your soul be, that the devil mercilessly fights tooth and nail to win it, while the King of Kings laid down His Own Life for it."
TriTorch, I'm going to preach to the choir . . .
The Apostle Paul, to the Corinthians: "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified."
Whatever Church or "church" you attend, pay attention to this.
Know Who Jesus is and what He did. He is God the Son, God in human flesh. He was, He is, He is to come. He died to take the penalty for your sin, and to deliver you from slavery to sin. He rose again on the third day, and sits at the right hand of our Father!
If you believe this, you are my brother or sister! I'll see you in the assembly!
❤️❤️
It’s so obvious…good reminder
🙏🙏🙏
Amen❤️🔥
Happy Feast Day!
Lol!! 🤣
Nithya allocated millions to homeless NGOs run by her socialist cronies. In return, they harvest ballots from drug zombies for her. Evidence is piling up - do we have enough for a case?
Since Illegals are being deported, the Homeless represent the next best cohort for Election and Financial Fraud. Since LA has nice weather, it’s a homeless destination. Time to end the Homeless Industrial Complex.
I read yesterday on X that the late mail in ballots for Nithya also passed the increased sales tax bill that was on the ballot. I think it went from 9.5% to 10.25-50. It wasn’t passing before the drop.
And these were the ONLY 2 items voted for on these ballots.
Wow!😮
Problem is in California, that’s perfectly legal. Theyve made a joke of it,and boast about it. And the Feds went along with it.
Drug zombies, like big pharma, who control the media and tell us how to vote.
And who pay zero taxes but drain OUR taxes.
Who will prosecute out here in California?
There’s NEVER a case.
✝️✝️✝️
Forever, O LORD,
Your word is settled in heaven.
Your faithfulness continues throughout all generations;
You established the earth, and it stands.
They stand this day according to Your ordinances,
For all things are Your servants.
— Psalm 119:89-91 NAS95

Thanks again Janice. ❤️
My pleasure.
Thank you, Janice. Your posts bring His light to my day. Blessings to you and yours.
The Inconceivable Power of Your Encouragement, By Unknown:
As a group of frogs were traveling through the woods, two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs crowded around the pit and saw how deep it was, they told the two frogs that there was no hope left for them.
However, the two frogs decided to ignore what the others were saying and they proceeded to try and jump out of the pit.
Despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of the pit were still saying that they should just give up. That they would never make it out.
Eventually, one of the frogs took heed to what the others were saying and he gave up, falling down to his death. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die.
He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?”
The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.
Hmmm those other frogs remind me of certain C&C commenters 🤔
Hey, wait a minute. How did the frogs at the top explain it to the deaf frog? Did they have a sign language interpreter? Or did they use a text message?
Maybe he was able to read their lips (if frogs have lips lol 😆) once he got closer 😁
Body language.
It seems to me that the real issue isn't the use of bar codes on ballots, it's the "approved voter lists" that the D's are loathe to turn over. Any list of voters can be crosschecked against all sorts of sources...from Social Security roles to ICE catch and release records to grave registrations. That's really what the D's don't want!
Precisely. Because if some large counties in Arizona and Colorado are already using ballot envelopes with barcodes, and still those two states have two of the most corrupt voting systems, obviously the bar code is not stopping their cheat.
I Found this answer to my Oregon Bar Code Questions:
In 2021 Oregon switched from physically putting a stamp on our return envelope to having it be postage paid (by the government). When this happened, I thought it was a pretty good idea. But it had the unintended (or maybe intended) consequence of in some (many? most?) cases eliminating the physical postmark. You can read the analysis by Grok below but the bottom line is, we effectively extended the ballot collection window by 7 days...
AA Question to Grok: I live in Oregon. When we switched from having to apply a stamp to return our ballot to prepaid envelopes, did we lose the physical stamped postmark? If so, how would one determine if a ballot was "postmarked" (processed) by election day?
Grok's Answer: Yes, Oregon switched from requiring voters to apply their own stamp to using prepaid return envelopes (business reply mail). This change happened via Senate Bill 861, passed in the 2019 legislative session and effective January 2020. Voters no longer need to put a stamp on the ballot return envelope—the state/county covers the postage via a printed indicia (postage-paid business reply mark) and barcode on the envelope.
Did You Lose the Physical Stamped Postmark?
In a practical sense, yes—the traditional setup changed. Previously, you affixed a stamp, and USPS would typically cancel it with a visible postmark (often a circular hand-stamp or machine mark with the date and location) when the envelope entered the mail stream.
Now: There is no stamp for USPS to cancel. The envelope has a pre-printed “postage paid” business reply indicia instead. USPS still processes the mail and applies marks, but these are often different: machine-printed marks, fluorescent indicators, barcodes, or other processing notations rather than a prominent traditional dated postmark. Due to the nature of Qualified Business Reply Mail (QBRM) and USPS operational changes (especially noted in 2025–2026), a clear, visible, same-day physical postmark is not guaranteed. Mail may be processed and marked later (when it reaches a sorting facility) rather than the day you drop it in a mailbox.
Election officials anticipated this and use a broader definition.
How Officials Determine If a Ballot Was “Postmarked” (Processed) by Election Day
Oregon law (ORS 254.470 and OAR 165-007-0045) defines a “postmark” or “postal indicator” as any official mark, imprint, or stamp that verifies when a ballot was accepted by the United States Postal Service. This explicitly includes hand cancellations and other evidence of USPS processing.
Here’s exactly how timeliness is determined:
Ballots received by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day — Counted automatically. No postmark check is required (they meet the deadline by physical receipt at the county elections office or official drop box). Ballots received after 8:00 p.m. on Election Day but within 7 calendar days — These can still be counted only if there is evidence the ballot was accepted into the USPS mail stream on or before Election Day. Officials follow this process: Primary evidence: Visible postmark or postal indicator on the envelope (earlier date controls if there are multiple). If no clear/legible visible postmark: Elections staff use available USPS tools (scanners, tracking data, fluorescent readers, barcode information, etc.) to verify the mailing/processing date. If USPS tools also cannot confirm the date: Officials accept a signed declaration on the ballot return envelope itself as evidence of the mailing date. If that declaration indicates it was mailed by Election Day, the ballot is counted (provided it is otherwise valid and signed). Ballots received more than 7 days after Election Day are not counted, regardless of postmark. This system is designed to be voter-friendly while maintaining security and deadlines. The broad “postal indicator” definition plus the 7-day receipt window and declaration fallback help ensure timely-mailed ballots aren’t rejected just because a traditional visible postmark is faint or absent on a prepaid envelope.
hmmmmm......
Ok so Washington state is VBM only and has the barcode I believe. But nobody is comparing it to voter roles. Thats the key is to compare against the dead or mostly dead ☠️!
I live in Washington and my son received ballots for years after he registered in Florida (undergrad) and then New York (PhD). He requested to be dropped multiple times and after SEVEN! years he finally was.
My father lived in Florida when he died. Within a few weeks I called the county registrar where he had lived and asked if they were aware of his death which they were. I said, “Good. He was a lifelong Republican and I don’t want him starting to vote Democrat.”
I lived in WI when my husband passed away and I also went in person to the village hall to make sure they knew he died and shouldn’t be on the voter rolls. I followed up after several elections to make sure no one had voted using his name.
That gives me great hope that the USPS will implement the bar code and voter list system in the next few months./s
Same for my Alaskan daughter.
I hope he sold his unused ballots to the local community organizer ... /s
Same in Colorado. And they still find a way to cheat. Tina Peters can prove it. Tina Peters is now free!
Praise God for this one!!!!
Praise God!
No, it’s not about whether the person is real - because these people do exist - it’s about whether the ballots are sent to a legit legal address or not. 9 times out of 10 the person on the voter role exists, but they are not receiving their ballot. Instead, the ballots are sent to an address where they are collected and harvested on their behalf.
I should add that there are indeed a lot of voters that DO need to be purged from the voter rolls. Many have died yes, many have moved, and many should not have been added to the voter roll in the first place - just to name a few.
Fake names: many copies which only differ by middle initials.
Voter " rolls" , not roles.
Thanks, talk to text doesn’t spellcheck and my quick edits glossed right over it!
And Washington hasn’t elected a Republican governor since then. 🤔
How did our once God fearing Constitutional Republic get to this DEBACLE of "Pseudo" DEMONcracy? The homeless voting 'charade' that you lay out for us to devour, J. C., actually makes me NAUSEOUS. Is THIS the beginning of the end of the "United" States of America??? I will be praying for President Trump's second administration even more arduously than I have been--to remain zealous and devoted to the precepts of our Divinely-inspired U S Constitution and to REVERSE this degenerate trend in our governance.
My HOPE lies ONLY in our Creator God and His righteous ways!!
And Pres Trump needs to be aware of these sites via the federal government and shut them down. I am going to post this on Truth Social now.
And one of the bigger problems is this….in California (and some other states) ballot harvesting is legal. So when all these ballots come to the NGO, and the staff votes them (because we all know they do) then how does anyone prove they are illegal ballots?
Plausible deniability has always been the escape and the issue with these evil communists…
How LONG has this been going on? Especially in FEDERAL elections?
2012 in California allowed non family members to return ballots. This link gives great information on the trajectory over the years. What is sickening to me is that voting should be treated as a sacred honor to uphold our republic and it has become a manipulated and fraudulent process….

GREAT INFO - danke, Carol!
A long time ago. Originally, when America was an actual republic, voting was considered a serious responsibility that one had to earn. You had to prove yourself worthy to vote. That generally meant you had to be a productive, married male who owned property and thus had proven himself to be responsible and mature enough to vote on issues that affected the whole community.
"Democracy" is a socialist system that allows the ruling political class to corrupt the entire political process by simply dispensing largess to the voting public and thus "buying" their votes. This is how we got to where we are where every warm body - and in some cases even cold bodies - gets to vote, at least once or perhaps more. It doesn't matter if the voter is a homeless drug addict, a teenage child or even a non-citizen alien, his judgement is considered worthy enough to vote. All of this was predictable.
Voting has ALWAYS been "a manipulated and fraudulent process" as soon as one-person/one-vote became the rule.
Maybe that’s where we should start focusing this fight. Instead of cowering when they say “every vote counts!” And “you’re trying to prevent people from voting” we should respond “every vote shouldn’t count and here’s why”. Make them argue their one-person, one-vote logic because then our own logic will be heard too.
Thank you Juju! This is the problem. You cannot win an argument when you allow the opposition to SET THE TERMS OF THE DEBATE. The Leftists always win the debate because we allow them to define the terms (I think this is done on purpose as part of the Uniparty psyops). Voting is NOT a "right". Nor is it a privilege. Voting is a responsibility that must be qualified!
All our arguments and efforts will amount to nothing because the very premise of the political system is based on falsehoods which any of the American founders would immediately recognize. This is why Ben Franklin said "...if you can keep it."
We should all memorize what you just wrote and have it ready in any moment.
Yes, they set the terms by caging us in with fear of rebuke and shame for our views.
IF they could actually HEAR - that might dissuade "some" progressives--but their minds are SO saturated with putrid progressivism - I believe you would be talking to "deaf ears", Juju--but KEEP on KEEPING ON - it is our duty if we TRULY love our Divinely-inspired U S Constitution.
Here’s a fun one. Our daughter is a special needs adult. She cannot make her own financial, social, medical or otherwise decisions. Her cognitive level does not allow for her to understand any of that. So. In this system. We had to hire a lawyer and petition the court when she turned 18 to be given permission to make all those decisions for her. She can no longer enter into a contract, make any decision about her life without us doing it for her. She has been deemed incapacitated. We had to do this to protect ourselves and her in Oregon and then AGAIN in Florida when we moved there. Don’t even get me started at the hefty price tag to hire lawyers 2 times to accomplish this. 😡
However. As the courts took away every right she has as a human being they demanded she retain the right to vote! That’s it. That is the oNLY right she retained. 🙄 She cannot make any of life’s decisions on her own BUT they want her to vote. 🙄 They expect somehow miraculously on voting day that she can determine who the best choice is and what the issues are. She miraculously can understand all the measures on the ballot and dissect them with such intellect she will understand which one to vote for and against! Ha! But don’t dare ask her to add 2+2 or sign her name to have a bank account. I just looked at them with dumbfounded disbelief. Do they even hear themselves!!! How idiotic is that! I have no words.
It gets better.
We went to the tax collector in Florida to get her an ID card at which time they asked if she wanted to register to vote. I said yes on her behalf, since the courts told me she has that right. The lady asked her if she was Republican or Democrat. My daughter always repeats what you say last 😂 So even though I worked with her the whole drive there that she is republican…..guess what she said. Hahahahaha. I looked at the lady and said register her as Republican. The lady didn’t know what to do. Then registered her Republican, clearly against my daughters say so 🙄. The stupidity is rising. lol.
It gets better. Stay with me. lol.
We decided to not have her vote because being people with a conscience vs people who don’t care if they have to cheat to win…we did not take her to the polls and fill out her ballot for her -even though the court said she has the right to “vote”. So we just voted ourselves and left it at that. After 2 voting cycles we get mail from the county that says since she did not vote 2 cycles they would be removing her from the voter roll unless they heard from us.
Imagine that! Clean voter rolls! Dead people stay on for decades but my daughter misses 2 of them and off she goes! Hahahaha
The stupidity of this world is palpable.
O M G... I have no words! I'm speechless. (Honestly, I don't know what America is going to look like in 20 to 30 years. I can't even imagine.)
We just shake our heads. And I agree. 20 yrs from now ???
Btw. I realized as I re-read what I wrote I forgot to say that the process we went through was to obtain legal guardianship. She did nothing wrong. She was either born this way or vax injured as a baby. The system has seen to it that we’ll never actually know the truth of what caused this. But hey! She can vote if we go register her…again 😉
I was just popping in to say this. Property owners are actually paying the taxes. Homeless people shouldn’t get to vote if they don’t have a dog in the fight.
"Is THIS the beginning of the end of the "United" States of America???"
The beginning started at least 25 to 30 years ago.
Like your moniker by the way…
I’ve been married to a Sharon for 58 years 😊
Good for you, Richard (and for "your Sharon" as well)
Same voting scam is run in nursing homes, including memory care centers. I had my mother's mail sent to me so I simply destroyed her ballots when they arrived, even though it would have been easy to have filled it out and had her sign it, which she would have done. But I would not do it, even though I knew which candidates she would have supported. (The State of Washington would not allow me to cancel her registration, even when her doctor declared her to be "mentally incompetent to conduct legal or financial transactions".)
The nurse at her memory care facility had no such scruples and laughed about "helping" residents fill out their ballots. Said she had done it at every place she had ever worked...
The State didn’t allow a cancellation of registration? I didn’t know they could even do that. Especially with a doctor’s statement. But cheating here in Washington is, I’m sure, real, and they need to keep as many ballots as possible circulating out there.
No, they would not allow me to cancel her registration, even with a POA and the letter from her doctor. They said the only way it could be done would be to bring her into the office and have her request it herself. But taking her anywhere was a huge ordeal so I simply tore up her ballots instead. I think the system is set up so that nursing home staff can do exactly what they did with all the ballots that arrived at their facility!
I feel like that is a strategy to gain power and control by those infesting our corrupt government. Make something a huge ordeal, and people will just give up. Like returning a defective item to a store or website. Nah, don’t have time. Except with government, in this case, we don’t just eat the loss, we forfeit our sacred vote. Every illegitimate vote cancels a legitimate one.
Exactly!! And the fact that most families have no idea that their parent's ballot is being filled out allows the practice to continue. Wasn't it in Wisconsin in 2020 that there was 100% voter participation from nursing homes across the state?
In my case, I would have reported it, but did not know the full names of the specific residents and had no way to contact their family members. I could have made an accusation against the nurse, but without a corresponding complaint filed by the family it would have gone nowhere and I would have made an enemy of the person who was in charge of my mother's medical care! The nurse was a competent clinician, but also a vocal Leftist so I have no doubt which way she "helped" the residents fill out their ballots! And sadly, many of them never had visitors so maybe their families lived out of town or they didn't have anyone who would have cared one way or the other.
Chances are someone still voted on her behalf. Even without that ballot.
No, I did check the state database to verify that no ballot in either of my parents' names was received...I even checked under my mother's maiden name, just in case!
You’re very conscientious.
Thank you! That's a much nicer descriptor than saying that I am "hopelessly jaded and cynical"! 🤣🤣🤣
That’s the difference between the old “moral citizens” and the new invaders….we don’t lie and cheat even when no one is looking.
Truth! Same with my Dad.
“Helping” is what vote.gov euphemistically calls “educating”
Full disclosure: I posted this same response to PoliticoPhil above. It just fit here too.

If we were in Oregon they would have NEVER removed her never-mind even constant her. At least Florida seems to be trying to keep it current.
The stupidity of this world is palpable.
Oh…… I wonder how common this is….
Maybe we could just vote through Amazon! They are reliable, same day delivery and I do get a picture of every order delivered to my door. And…I can pull up every order I’ve ever made; the date when it was made and if I want to see the invoice! I can’t even mail a gift card through the USPS with confidence that somewhere along the route from drop off to delivery my gift card has not disappeared. I vote for Amazon LOL!!
You jest but ain't it the truth? Think about how the market has solved all sorts of problems with security and efficiency. Your average teenage hacker could build a system better than the city full of bureaucrats, even assuming they weren't corrupt in the first place building in bias on purpose.
The fundamental purpose of bureaucrats is bureaucracy. Not solving, not creating, not efficiency, not speed, definitely not cost saving.
"The bureacracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureacracy."
'Bureacracy' is also a crazy hard word to spell, which fits right in their with its primaru mission of creating tangled to the hilt spaghetti codes and regulations so that everyone is always guilty of something.
I guess Amazon is fairly reliable, but last week I received deliveries at my front door intended for two different apartment buildings around the corner.
🤔 I never stopped to consider what other addresses experience. Our single family home in a suburban neighborhood has only experienced inaccurate delivery three times since 2012. Once a neighbor’s box/bag came to us and twice they delivered ours to different houses. All of us had very similar numeric addresses just off by one digit so I can understand how it might happen. But that’s a pretty darn good track record for 14 years, and we order something almost every stinking day and have subscribe and save too. I mean, we have ordered a LOT all those years.
But it never occurred to me how apartment complexes or townhomes or condos could experience different results. A lot more opportunity for mistakes!
I send a lot of gifts to the grandkids and others by Amazon but I do have listed on their addresses their specific delivery instructions listed. So it should not be a problem most times. But I know there has to be in some areas.
Yuk! That is a big aggravating issue. I hope your driver learns the route better with a paper map!
Reading the address instead of following Google pins is very smart.
Amazon has it's own problems. We've seen packages asking the road side, delivery ppl who can't read the whole address, been getting the new neighbors packages for months now and you can't contact anyone to fix the tool map pin.
The person ordering needs to do the contacting to correct their delivery information. But I do understand and if you are delivering the package to your neighbor, request delivery fee lol.
And then there are the "Porch Pirates" stealing the delivered packages
Yes, our neighborhood had a few of those once but had it taken care of by the police and a locked fence by the HOA. Then we had residents —apparently non-Amazon orderers—complain about ‘locked fences’. Can we not have any happy people in this world?
The Dems sure are doing all they can to protect their cheating and fraudulent acitvities, wowl!
Yeah this homeless voting thing: Bass wanted Spencer disqualified from being an LA citizen because his home burned down, but literal homeless people with NO address are encouraged to vote. 🤦♂️
Great point!!
The level of integrity - or lack thereof - to attempt to disqualify a person from citizenship because he didn't have a residence in your city - after YOU let his residence burn down - is appalling in the extreme. Is this on record?
I can't think up enough insulting epithets for Bass, but my gentility prevents me from uttering them here in mixed company.
After some research, it appears to have been the LA Times who brought up Pratt's residency requirements issue, to which he responded by occupying an Airstream trailer on his burned-out lot.
AI: Spencer Pratt criticized the Los Angeles Times for questioning his residency status, claiming it was an unfair attack on him during his mayoral campaign. He stated, "Hey, brain surgeon! My house burned down," emphasizing that his legal residence remains the burned-out lot in the Palisades despite living temporarily in Carpinteria.

"California’s Deputy AG Michael Cohen told a federal court that “it’s just difficult to overstate the disruption that this will cause to election administration.”"
So, Michael Cohen's metric is "minimal disruption" and not election integrity?
DO YOUR JOB, Michael.
If it's too hard, Californians should find someone else. If they won't, it's because they WANT to cheat.
It’s difficult for Michael to overstate it because his state’s election administration is so hopelessly disrupted now that it is worse than every other electoral jurisdiction on the planet. He can’t conceive of counting in less than a month what other nations do in a day. “Difficult” being the operative word.
"fish pizza"
NEXT BAND NAME 🤣💥🐟🍕
Uhh, food for thought: one should maybe never use the word 'pizza' in a title, it's a signal for pedophiles that the person utilizing that term it is one.
Ya know, these freaks: Jennifer Garner Reads satanic Pedophile Secret Pizza Party Book to School Children Millstones Needed: https://old.bitchute.com/video/rgs2E6UZCqft [27mins]
I refuse to bow to their language barriers!
YES. And we're taking back the rainbow too! 🙏
Admirable. But you will also attract the wrong type of people and attention and assumptions will be made.
Macaulay Culkin was a victim and named his band 'The Pizza Umderground', and his videos are filled with hellish imagery. Not something one would want to be associated with.

The critical importance of prudence runs throughout the Book of Proverbs and speaks to who you associate with either by language or proximity which are essentially the same.
"Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's"
I won't let them ruin it for me.
There's plenty of wickedness to grieve. If I partake in a slice, with or without dead minnows (anchovies,) this has nothing to do with the wicked.
I resolve to give thanks, though.
As a pizza purist, anchovies and pineapple are forbidden in my presence 😉
Pinapple and pizza are a match made in the vicinity of heaven! We can never be friends now for you have shown your true colors Doc, and they’ve been found wanting =’(
😂 Yes, pineapple and ham are a yummy combination.
Bacon, tomatoes, and cheese for me! 🥓🍅🧀
Hello new friend, Laura, I now declare us besties.
Why don't we just call it something else, but not "pizza" and then let people enjoy their non-pizza?
Everyone can be happy, then.
YES. I was encouraged by the introduction of the term 'flatbread,' but it hasn't seemed to have caught on...
I’m down like a clown in crust, sauce, & cheese town.
I don't like your language. 🤪
Yes, but just like the hijacking of the word gay and the rainbow we should be able to say pizza.
But I do get your point.
Yeah agree, just don’t name your band that 👍
Totaly. It's easy to see the demonic depraved people. The "art" Podesta has on his walls etc.
Anchovies anyone!!!! Yum!
There’s a band name “The Radical Anchovies”
TriTorch suggests not using the word 'radical' 'cause it only encourages them 🤪
I meant the radicals, not the anchovies 😎
Yeah we should definitely not be encouraging the anchovies either though 😳😆
Hahahahaha 🤣
And don't forget, they give The Original Worcestershire Sauce, that tangy zing. I love it on my steaks....mmmmm 😉🤣
Reminded me of all those A1 commercials. In the old days when commercials were great not stupid.
All over the East Village (NYC) in the 1990's you'd see flyers for a band called, "Lobster of Hate"
As a native New Englander, I would love to eat a lobster of hate 😎
Did you see where Trump rolled back all the requirements for the fisherman of the United States?
He signed a proclamation on June 11th. You can find it on YouTube on the White House channel.
Brought tears to my eyes, how grateful and enthused all the fishermen and Fisher women 🙂 were.
During this whole time other countries were coming in and over fishing these areas.
Where were the greenies when that was happening?
Once again it shows how the environmentalists are just cover for destruction and decline of the US.
The true environmentalist (fisherman ranchers Farmers) know how to fish sustainably and care for the land.
So yay! Trump and the fishermen!
You're going to get cheaper loved lobster🦞soon.
You know it's a big story when the NYT quotes BOTH Portlands.
Hahahahahahaha 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Happy Friday everyone!
Hello hello! Happy steamy Friday! ☀️🥵
Same in Mid-MO. Actually yesterday was brutal. Today might be glorious. We’ll see. 🙃
Morning N... yes, steamy alright.
Here it’s somewhat cooler after several brutally hot and humid days! Hope you get our nicer weather soon!
We had sheets of rain for several hours at a time for the past two days. Our in ground pool actually overflowed! My husband had to backwash it out after work yesterday in the pouring rain, poor soul, after working 12 hours. (Before you tsk tsk me for not doing it myself, our backwash hose is an actual fire hose that I can barely lift up. 😆 All the pool industry supplied hoses got holes in them after just one or two uses so we retrofitted to use a fire hose. We are going on 7 years? I think, with that hose - and he had to duck tape a spot this year for first time. Best solution ever … unless you have three days of rain… Lol)
Anyway, nice and cool here for now. 65 and steady cool breeze.
Lots of rain here too but mostly in the evening and overnight.
That pool issue doesn’t sound like fun but I definitely don’t blame you for not doing it yourself, that seems very difficult to manage!
Aaand….the little issue of first having to empty the skimmer basket after that kind of rain, and I have a deathly serious arachnophobia problem. 🤣 They love to sit atop the leaves and stuff just waiting for that lid to be lifted, big ones. Uh - noooooo. I’d let my entire property flood before I’d ever empty that thing 😆
🤣😆
🕷️🕷️🕷️
Thanks - I’ll take it! Daughter’s baby shower tomorrow…looks like 88° 😅
It sure is steamy in OK! Thank the Lord for air conditioning!!
Amen to that! I grew up without it…ugg
Same!
