If my NC ballot is found to be invalid per the Griffiths-Riggs nonsense, what happens to my votes for the other elections on that ballot? Are they now void as well, even though those elections have been certified? I started writing this as a joke, but now I'm curious @democracydocket.com

I keep thinking about these GOP town halls. One rep kept repeating over and over, "how can you be against a balanced budget?" I'm arguing with the definition of 'balanced' here. Lopping off bits until it gets to where you think it should be isn't balanced. Fund necessary stuff, trim carefully.

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us.

So wait, the gov't has offered money for people to retire, but it's an Act Now! type of deal that expires next week? Who the hell can examine their finances and life situation within a month to know if they should quit their job on the vary shaky vague promise of a payout?

I cut this off the loom Tuesday, after having the warp on for 3 or 4 years. Also you apparently can't have still pictures and videos in the same post.

I finished knitting this scarf Monday. It's double face double knit, and I got lucky with the variegated stripes, I didn't measure at all.
