DeSantis is really going for it…this can't be good for the GOP?

DeSantis ends Congressional Federal Assistance for the unemployed in Florida.
In a state where 12% of the population already lives below the poverty line, Ron DeSantis shut down Trump’s 300 dollar per month unemployment benefit for hundreds of thousands of people in FL.

A Young Kennedy, in Kushnerland, Turned Whistle-Blower
When Robert F. Kennedy’s grandson Max volunteered with Jared Kushner’s COVID-19 task force, he likened the Trump Administration’s pandemic response to “a family office meets organized crime, melded with ‘Lord of the Flies.’ ”

why would he do that?  What is in it for Florida or DeSantis?  Also he's a fucking moron.

1000 hours

Due to a lack of excess funds for donations…I decided to sign up to be an Election Poll worker this year as I've heard they are deperately needed (due to the avg age of 70) and just got my assignment.  The school right down the street from me!

Yes those so called progressives who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Hillary really showed them…

i remember seeing some of the bernie supporters who were out there often at the Greenbelt Metro, switch to becoming Jill Stein support towards the election  ::)

The bottom line: Cook Political Report's Dave Wasserman called the situation "a foreseeable train wreck."

I don’t think so and in fact think it’s better to vote on Election Day

Didn't want to sully your good news thread

So I understand the issues with votebymail (high rejection rate, issues with usps and won't get counted until Nov  4th)
that also includes taking your Absentee ballot and dropping it off at an election center (still might not get counted until nov 4th)

but does actaully voting early screw up those numbers?
Will that vote be calculated in the tally on Nov 3rd

I could see it impact exit polling, so Trump would have ammo to say 'its rigged'

So you don’t know??!?

so this specific thing is not addressed as far as I know…do you?
I did my ealry vote on a voting machine (scan card type)…so my understanding is that will 100% be tabulated on Election day and be included with those numbers



Virginia

VA Code Ann. § 24.2-709.1,

§ 24.2-712
Absentee/Mail Ballot Processing Can Begin
Before Election Day as needed to expedite counting absentee ballots.
Absentee/Mail Ballot Counting Can Begin
Ballots may be inserted into ballot-counting machines prior to the closing of the polls, but no ballot count totals by the machines shall be initiated until the polls close. If absentee ballots are counted by hand, tallying may begin after 3 p.m. on Election Day. Vote counts may not be reported until after the polls close.

You voted without first conducting due diligence?


Are you even sure they will actually even count your vote?

jez, now you are getting a little tin-foil-hat on me

I put my filled out vote into the same type of scanner machine I always do and it said 'vote counted' on the little LCD screen

my understanding is early in-person voting is the same as Election day voting
But do you have details that this is different or do you just have snark?

I just can’t believe you don’t even know for sure what happens with your early vote?!? You were so into it I assumed you had done the research! Now you are asking us to bail you out?
