Grab them by the ear and drag them to the polls. Sit down with them and apply for absentee ballots. lagomorph777 Sep 2020 #10

The state's SOS still needs to authorize these new voting places. The state still needs to staff it and have voting machines etc.
All the rules must be followed or else these Red Neck states will disqualify any voting that took place at these facilities.

BE CAREFUL!!

I know a few younger people who are bobble heads and will say yes to everything, follow through on nothing.

How do we keep the youth engaged and motivated?

These choices by businesses should be rewarded! We support Dick's as much as possible too for their stance on AR-15's.
