The fiasco stems directly from the 2013 Supreme Court ruling that weakened the Voting Rights Act. It offers a warning sign as we approach the first presidential election in

I love how the overall response from the clerk was "all of those people had the option to vote early." Like fuck off. Some of us might want to hit the polls and get our fucking sticker.

Do they not give you guys stickers for early voting? We get stickers for early voting in Florida. (The sticker is important to me, too.)

It's early voting by mail for them- so you have to sign up for an absentee ballot
