My wife phonebanked for GA yesterday. Talked with three folks. One was a "the system is fucked, I'm not voting" millennial. After a 40 minute conversation, he said "I still don't know if I'll end up voting, but if I do it'll be for Kamala and it'll be because of this call."

Voted!

Last election there were magatards trying to intimidate voters at the highland location. AFD cruised up in their big fucking fire truck and unleashed a fire hydrant right at them. It was glorious.

all 7 of my crew have voted for the good guys!

Just cast my vote in Denali Borough Alaska. I'll be one of only 150 to 200 or so reasonable souls who didn't for for fascism.

Yeah. His name is Donald Trump.

I was in line behind maybe 35 people at 6:50 and done by 7:15. Fuck Donald Trump.

Oh thank fuck, we've got this locked up.

great summary everyone. good job team.

No cell phones, but you can accompany up to one illegal immigrant to instruct them how to vote.

35 minutes from arrival to exit. Mark one more complete anti-shitheads ballot.

Str8 donkey.

2 hour line in Comal County. Easily 3x the usual line. Normally, that's a drive-by, but the 19 year-old came down from Austin after class because she wanted to do the first time together. Special Shout-out and Fuck you to carpetbaggers Chip Roy and Ted Cruz. You too Don Old. Glad that's over with.

Joined 5/9. Shows signs of being here before. You were his first neg. It was about a month after signing up. He built up enough rep to withstand a few negs. He's got 44 to date Maybe. He's learned to game better. Get pos rep in Football and hand out drive by negs here. It's definitely someone that understands how to get some defense. @Horn75 You're a chickenshit.

i was voter #456 at bee cave city hall. took 15 minutes but the line doubled while i was there. fuck trump and fuck cruz.

Js1's job on Surly from now until election day:

Just got back from doing my part. Fuck Trump!

Went around lunch time to the Randall’s on Slaughter and Brodie. Took about an hour. Probably would have gone quicker if they had 3 stations to check people in instead of the 2, but whatever. Done and done. Vote registered against that fucking fascist fuck and that fucking smarmy fuck

Now that I've voted, who do I call to get the stupid fucking Trans-panic commercials off my TV?

That Bradley in Kursk warms the cockles of my heart after so many years. A Russian made RPG killed my closest cousin in Vietnam 54 years ago. He was a good dude.

Whole family voted today. No cool stickers in Collin County. Place was very busy.

For those of you worrying, if you notice the polls haven't really changed at all for the swing states in the past month. For real polls of different samples with margins of error built in that aren't weighted, that wouldn't happen. You'd see some swings back and forth. They're weighting the polls because they're terrified of missing Trump voters like they did in 2016 and 2020. We have no idea how much they're weighting, but I bet it's pretty substantial. Everyone just thinks it should be about a coinflip race so the pollsters tweak R share of the electorate, predicted turnout in Philly, etc. to get a poll that's almost 50/50. But they've been missing to the right in every race and ballot measure since Dobbs and this new weighting only compounds that error. Does anyone seriously think Trump has any real advantages or has done anything in the last month to help himself? He's way underwater in approval and his VP is even worse. They're trailing in enthusiasm. His campaign has no fucking money or GOTV. Trump is falling apart on the campaign trail. Even their "advantage" with billionaire donors trying to make up for his campaign's cash and GOTV deficiencies is an incompetent clownshow operation that's easy to ratfuck by having Dems sign Elon's petition, etc. They're literally not doing anything right. The open fascism is a desperate attempt to re-energize their base, but it's not working because Trump doesn't have the juice any more and that shit turns off more voters than it brings in. Vote and make sure your friends who aren't Republicans vote and we'll beat these fucking losers, just like they did earlier this year in France and the UK. We can't let the fucking French be better at antifascism than us.

Yeah it's good to see were all in agreement that: 1) Quinn was fine 2) It was the Oline 3) Students should not have thrown bottles. It looks terrible on Texas. 4) Who gives a fuck if they threw bottles 5) Students should have thrown bottles. 6) Quinn was terrible 7) The Oline wasn't the problem 8- Sark will fix it 9) Sark is an idiot 10) Arch isn't ready to start 11) Arch has to start 12) We're fine and will win the SEC and make the CFP 13) We're doomed 14) Modelo should never be thrown as it's terrific 15) Modelo is terrible 16) Games need more political add commercials

My election season is mercifully over. Not crowded.

Voted! I've never voted on the first day of early voting before, but I wanted to get voting against the orange piece of shit for the third time over with so I can just spend the rest of the time until the election sweating

Do us all a favor. Go to a beach and walk out into the ocean and don’t come back you disgraceful piece of shit.

I told my 3year old I’m sad that the “hook em horns” lost and she told me she’s gonna go find them. I’ll report back.

Asked the people at the Denton County Elections office where I usually go vote if it was pretty quiet. I meant if there had been any friction those two had to handle. Yes, quiet but busy. 40k in Denton Co. That's up from 35k in 2020. Overhead old lady poll worker say there were a lot of young people. The offspring and I got it done on day one.

Derka out here hacking accounts now. This shit is serious bidness.

I will always give that fat fucking orange traitor credit for one thing - He made people realize they have to show up to vote.

I added my tiny blue drop into the red bucket that is Collin County. About 15 minutes start to finish.

Well then. Dropped in a drop box at 7:45, get this confirmation 7 hours later. After completing it at my leisure at home yesterday. Texas voting is…working as intended I guess.

They've immigrated south, you mean.

My wife had a lab appointment this morning, so we thought we'd have breakfast and vote afterwards. Got to the only polling place in the southern part of the county (Brazos), and it was covered up. Folks parking 1/4 mile away, long, long line covered up. She has another appointment right after lunch, so we're going to try after that. I've voted at this location for years, and I've never seen it this covered up, even in 2020. This location went big for Biden in 2020, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
