MY FELLOW EAST COAST AMERICAN VOTERS

(who have not already been successfully blocked by those undemocratic fuckers* who are messing with registrations)

VOTE AS EARLY AS YOU CAN.

Normally I'm a bit of an early voting skeptic, but you guys remember the derecho, right? AFAIK (and I'm going in as an election judge starting tomorrow, so you'd think I would know) my election board's total disaster-zone-voting-plan is "if there's an ice storm on election day, the governor might extend voting hours, at which point you open this sealed package which you have never seen before and have not been trained on."

Hopefully they will come up with something better within the next few days, but considering their general level of flexibility and logistical genius? Um. And I can tell you right now they don't have enough generators for all of the normal voting locations.

If we have the same sort of clusterfuck* we had with the derecho, which is sounding like a distinct possibility, and then you put the clusterfuck this election was already going to be on top of it...

You will be very, very glad to have already voted before the worst of the storm hits, if you were able to vote before the worst of the storm hit.


*yes, I am still watching The Thick Of It! I even posted a story to ttoi_kinkmeme. I bet you couldn't possibly guess which one was me.
