Standing in one of these lines right now! Fingers crossed for the future. 🤞🏻😬🤞🏻

Time to go combine some favorite things: bike commuting, libraries, and early voting.

I’ve never voted for Michael Adams, but I appreciate his being a voice of reason within his own party.

I wasn’t aware of these critiques of ranked-choice voting. The right-wing hand-wringing about it is obviously ridiculous, and I still believe more RCV is the way to go, but I appreciate more nuance in the conversation.

Did early voting on Saturday, so I guess my civic contribution for today is giving kiddo extra screen time while her school is being used as a polling place.

Got to do early voting at the library today, which neatly combines a lot of my favorite things into a single experience.

I love that I got to vote early this year, but it also means I keep forgetting that today is Election Day.

Kiddo after waiting and watching patiently while I filled out ballot at early voting: ‘I have to admit, that was pretty fun!’

Fascinating (if worrying) article on just how important the basic mechanics of an election are.

After coming with us for primary voting this morning, kiddo has announced she’s setting up her own voting booth as this morning’s imagination play.

I think today demonstrates both the superority of France’s two-round presidential elections to U.S. first-past-the-post BUT ALSO the inferiority of both compared to ranked-choice voting.

Fact checking is always important, but especially so here.

Gerrymandering is gross and wrong, no matter who’s doing it.

So gross.

Every day that goes by in this election cycle just makes me more frustrated that we don’t have ranked-choice voting.

Today is the primary for the 2019 state elections here in KY, and I’m really missing Michigan’s open primaries. Not being able to vote today may be what finally pushes me to declare a party affiliation after more than a decade of not doing so.
