    I did, AND because my city does ranked choice voting, I got to pick someone for my first choice that I actually like. She probably won’t win, but it’s not dangerous for me to vote for her!

    unfortunately the prime directive prevents me from interfering with societies that have not yet invented vote-by-mail

    I did my part. Super easy ballot this year:

    Libertarian (sticker placed over republican views), or democrat who doesn’t do anything but at least he isn’t a republican

    Old white dude who says all races matter, or old black lady who says diversity is good

    Dude who enlisted in the army after 9/11 and thinks we need more cops in schools, or literally anyone else

    Personally, I support the Borg Collective but the Ferengi Trade Consortium does make so good points.

      I think the yanks are having some sort of election, it usually is around Cup Day. They don’t have compulsory voting like us, so it’s a bit different attitudewise.

        Today is election day, but this year is only local elections, nothing national. My district actually has nothing.

        Sorry…local and statewide. I guess my state has nothing either.

        Yep, we usually have an election the first or second Tuesday of every November. On the one hand it sucks that more of us don’t vote, but on the other hand I’d rather that people who get a ballot and just pick whatever name sounds better not do that

          Nah, we have a public holiday for horse races. The Melbourne Cup. (not the American melbourne, the one pronounced “MELb’n” here in Oz).
