1. Maybe they need to switch their outside vendor. Or stop using outside vendors.

2. Assuming that people know that DM means direct message only demonstrates

they need new people handling this

6. It literally gives three choices

Do they have to explain how to make a phone call?

7. Doesn't matter, when they throw in abbreviations, instead of spelling them out, it indicates they

are assuming certain things, and that is a failure in my view

8. I see your point, but most people would just skip to the one they understand

DM, email, phone.

Sure, from a technical writing perspective, it's not ideal, but probably not the critical failure being bemoaned in this thread.

9. So, doesn't "DM" also require that you provide the relevant contact info?

Whatever that would be (I have no idea - is that some Twit or Falsebook or Tic Tac thing?)

3. DM YOU!

4. They had one job

So happy I've decided to vote early IN PERSON and not via absentee. What fuckwits!

5. I made the same decision to vote early in-person

but am annoyed that the NY State early voting period is just barely more than a week prior to the November 3rd Election Day. There are many other states already voting in-person right now! Would have liked to have gotten voting out of the way well in advance in a less-crowded/pandemic era way.

10. In VA we flipped the legislature blue in 2019; they legalized early/absentee voting this year.

Absentee was theoretically possible for a few people, but out of reach for most. Reforms this year have been fast and far-reaching.

11. I agree

They're not making it easy for anybody.
