I, uh... don't think I managed to register to vote in time because I have been out of the country and still don't have a CA driver's license, so I had to fill out some forms and sign them to have my signature on file. I'll have to call in the morning to find out if they got it in time.
I also have a ton of meetings tomorrow AND have done no election research. I try to be so conscientious about voting and now I feel like a terrible citizen.
Shit, San Francisco does ranked choice voting?!
Edit: Okay, I've found some voting guides and I know where my polling place is, so if the Department of Elections tells me I can vote tomorrow, I will make that happen.

Jon B. just got hard-on.
It's actually a big part of the strategy to oust the current Mayor puppet-head, Ed Lee. The three opponents said "We don't care which you pick first, but pick us 1-2-3."
I went to bed at 7:30 last night and this morning I am still tired. Cooking breakfast, making lunch, and/or picking up something to eat all sound like too much trouble, so I'll be doing a juice cleanse. I predict maximum irritability.
Hey, Ohio could have legal pot after today! I hope it passes, for lots of reasons.
I'm afraid Houston's equal rights ordinance is going to lose. It was passed by the City Council, then people got a petition to put it on the ballot, then the petition was ruled invalid, then that ruling was reversed.
The focus of all the hysteria? The ordinance would allow transgender people to use the bathroom of the sex they identify as. OMG we must protect our wives and daughters from all of the EVIL MEN pretending to be women just so they can get inside a women's public restroom.
I would love to understand why people think this is so likely!
Did I tell the story here of being in the women's bathroom when someone who I definitely would have thought was a man came out of the stall? Now, I have no idea what that person's gender story is, but guess what? They washed their hands and left the bathroom! THE END. Who fucking cares?? If someone is a perv, they are a perv regardless, and that is the actual problem.

Exactly. And "bathroom laws" can't do anything to stop hypothetical same-sex pervs.
I've accidentally gone into the men's room. For some reason they didn't all run out screaming.
I haven't been able to find any voter information for my area, so I assume I do not have an election today. Maybe I will swing by City Hall (also my polling place) on the way home to be sure...I can cast an uninformed vote for school board if that's what's on offer.
