You never think it can happen to you...

What I'm referring to? Voter disenfranchisement!

My females have already gotten earfuls of my prattle on this topic (<3s to you both for bearing with me and my eternal frustration!), but I wanted to rant about it here - get the word out, yes?

you always have to wonder how much of this shit is on purpose, especially when you're in the demographic that tends to vote for the candidate your home state doesn't want you to vote for :| i hope your ballot comes in time!!!

This also concerns me. I am well aware that by putting "Democrat" as my party affiliation on my voter registration and my ballot requests makes me stick out like a sore thumb when it comes to Texas. I toyed with simply putting "Independent", but... I feel like I shouldn't have to hide my personal convictions, ya know?

Man, no matter what political affiliation one might have, that just plain sucks. It sucks so hard it's pulling 30 inches of water in an onion sack.

Haha, that is the perfect comparison! XD You, madame, deserve and internet of win!

All love the engineering analogies!

Dude. Not cool. But, sadly, I am not really surprised. The government like to screw people over in any way they can.

[arwydd]

Nope, not cool at all. But also ditto on the not surprised.

Ballot hasn't come, as of this morning. IS ADRIENNE GONNA HAFTA SLAP A BITCH?! *shakes fist*

[zed_pm]

D:

Has it come YET??

[arwydd]

Nope. And there goes any chance of me voting! Any mail I turn in today wouldn't get sent out until tomorrow morning now.

Excuse me while I go on a rampage. D8
