I was on "ballot transport," so we drove around the county every day unloading the ballot boxes. Every couple of days, we'd have one of the in-person voting places (VSPCs) on our route. Every time I went into one of those places, there were a bunch of election employees there doing nothing, and no people voting. I think the most ballots we collected from one of the VSPCs before yesterday was 28.
Also, JeffCo has this gigantic machine that reads the signatures off the ballots and matches them to the signature on file in the registration in a split second. It's an incredibly cool piece of equipment. It generally matches about 2/3rds of the signatures on the first pass.
Never, actually. Yankees went to a 5-man infield in extra innings one game this season, with Bellinger moving from CF to 1B. Paul moved over and basically played 2B, but the artifacts of score-keeping had him playing 8.
Springs is like most Texas cities -- the city itself is blue (they have a Dem mayor), but the suburbs are deep red. It's just hard to picture that because of the prominence of Dobson's organization and the AFA. But most of the AFA people live in Monarch or Falcon or one of the other suburbs.
I'm always shocked at the voting for TX constitutional amendments. It seems like there are a lot of people who will just vote for all of them. Such as....
How in the blue fuck did this pass?
Also...
If the court finds that the accused is a danger to others or is a flight risk, don't they already deny bail regardless of the offense?
We actually get paid a very small amount (my take-home last week was something like $145) and I think they mainly do that so that they can fire you if you do something wrong. They fired these two old guys for losing a ballot box key last week.
Just wanted to say that I spent the last 2.5 weeks working for Jefferson County elections, and the amount of work and organization that goes into running an election is absolutely jaw-dropping.
And any fucking moron who claims than an election is rigged in this country should be required to work on one.
