Fetterman didn't have a good debate, but Oz didn't do a thing to make himself seem more likeable that night either.

I saw it that way too. Either Fetterman will recover and the stroke won't be an issue in 6 years, or another Democrat will be running for it then.
Hell, that seat being empty would be an upgrade over Toomey and Oz if it came down to that.

I think it's also entirely possible that for the immediate day or two after the debate that people were considering voting for Oz, but as time passed, they softened and figured Fetterman will recover. I did not expect Fetterman to win by this solid of a margin.

SMH. It's already bad enough this party loses one to two Senate races every cycle they should easily win

People will end up still complaining if we're on one or the other all year. They tried year-round DST in the seventies during the energy crisis, and people absolutely hated that there wasn't daylight until almost 9:00 a.m. at the worst of the winter, and I think people would not be a fan of it getting dark at 8 PM in the summer instead of the 9 PM we've been used to.

Good luck getting through life if you can't follow instructions regularly...

Oof yeah. I hope people were careful before mailing in their ballots.

Which county are you in? I would have thought the envelopes would be the same regardless of county, but I guess not. Like the OP, I'm in Allegheny County where the date line is impossible to miss.
I do agree though needing to date it is stupid as fuck considering it will be postmarked with one.

I don't understand how it's so hard for people to follow easy instructions.
I just dropped my ballot off in person since I was in Downtown Pittsburgh anyway today, and the woman taking them asked to make sure the envelope was signed and dated, and that second envelope was used too.

I'm here in Bellevue where it's 6:00 to 8:00. When I was getting home from CVS a little after 6:00, it was absolutely packed outside. It still sounds busy from my second floor apartment.

Only until 7. Maybe the kids just prefer the parts of Bloomfield north of Liberty?

If kids will be okay literally one block away from the city going until 8:00 in the surrounding boroughs, I think it will be okay in the city.

5 to 5:30 is too early for a lot of people if they had work until their normal time. Has it picked up at all now that it's 6? The suburbs didn't start until 6 FWIW

I love Christmas, but I don't like it in October or most of November until after Thanksgiving myself. However, Light Up Night has been on the weekend before Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember.

They always start building it around Halloween. The last farmer's market of the year down there was last week, and they need to have everything built and all the stands stocked in time for Light Up Night, which is on November 19th. I know it's hard to believe, but that's less than 3 weeks from now.

Sunday evening would probably be the best for the convenience of a majority of people, and also have the least traffic of any day of the week during the evening. Even last year though, they did not start in the city until 5:30 and it went until 7:30.

Then they should have just had it on Sunday evening then, because a lot of people who work in person aren't even going to be home or just getting home, and not ready to be on their front porch or take their kids out at that time.

But 5 on a weekday? That's still basically rush hour. I know more people these days WFH, especially on Monday, but next year Halloween will not be on a Tuesday.

I don't get why the city is doing it so obnoxiously early. A lot of people are just getting home from work or aren't even home from work at 5:00. The suburbs aren't starting until 6:00

The fact he didn't know the Steelers had a bye week this past weekend was just another in the long list of things which showed he was out of touch and had little connection to this state at all.
