Not stand around waiting for the paperwork to appear?
If you give one shit about Democracy and your right to vote, you should be pissed that people cannot due to lack of paperwork, ballots, and insane hurdles that are just as bad as Voter ID laws.
I don't care who you want to vote for.

This is not my wheelhouse - I know nothing about organizing things. I'm determined, though, to at least make sure we don't have more idiocy of "not enough ballots" in my precinct.
That's all I can do, but I damn sure will do it.

Ability to vote - at all - is the one I will choose, without rancor or regret.
I give not one shit who you wish to vote for, your vote should be allowed.

That is not in my nature, nor, truly, in the nature of the Democratic Party.
Giving up is anathema.
