For those who use touchscreen, dial, or button voting

Do you get a paper copy to review at the time of your voting?

There is an advantage to Trump thinking 2024

He would have to know any wholesale pardons would be damaging to that effort. He also probably believes he has done nothing wrong. Could he roll the dice and not get out the old pardon pen?

Impeachment proceedings for DeJoy and Trump

on how the ballots were handled in the USPS? Start them now in the lame duck.

Wisconsin

Biden is 4% down with 85% of the vote in. I assume remaining votes are coming out of the urban areas?

Remaining vote will have to come in at 60% for Biden.

What about Nevada?

Arizona + NE2 takes Pennsylvania off the table unless we lose Nevada.

Does anyone have a good link to how NE2 is doing?

Politico is reporting it for Trump even though he is behind.

Just had my 15 year old Collie mix Arlo put to sleep

He was a very good boy. A champion walker and great companion for my daughters for over 14 years. We got him from the shelter at a year old. His first family took great care of him, and he came prepackaged as the family dog.

My daughters got him involved in agility, and, while he didn't love it, he loved doing it for his girls. Somehow through the persistence of my oldest, he won a title and a bar.

He got to do his favorite things on his last day. He went to our local nature reserve, the key trail location that took us one of many different wonderful directions, and the art museum with garden that allowed him to still walk around but be close to the car if he couldn't make it back. So many interesting smells.

He got to see Girl Scouts doing a project at the nature reserve. He always loved little girls. He was so happy.

I miss him very much.

Four more for Biden in Iowa

Early voting at the courthouse was pretty light this morning.

Frightened a Ashley Hinson supporter yesterday

I was standing in the front yard with my older daughter and my dog. A sincere young man carrying Ashley Hinson (running in Representative Iowa against Abby Finkenauer) material walked up to me and asked if I would like to hear about Hinson.

He backed up even before I said anything. I said something like "Absolutely not interested". He must not have liked the look that I had on my face.

I wonder if I am not the first to have such a negative reaction.

The horrible franchise tag - Dak Prescott's ankle

It appears Prescott broke his ankle or leg.

I hate the franchise tag. It is so unfair.
