Obviously trying, and failing, to compensate for something.

I miss the ice disk. I can see it from my office window, when it exists.

>Sens. Guerin (R) and Lyford (R).

Probably would have voted NO if they did bother to show up. But now they can technically say that they did not vote against it and not enough people will know they didn't vote at all.

​

>Cumberland Sen. Chipman (D) also couldn't be bothered on a party-lines vote, good job!!!

Wouldn't have made a difference. Especially of those two voted as well.

Your Druid merely used their Beast Form.

Well, they stopped.

"Reported". That means that more people are aware and actually concerned for the wellbeing of the children to report it. There is no way to know what we do not know about the actual rates of abuses in the states with a lower reported number.

Since the political party does not "manufacturer" the signs, the "party that manufactured them" would be the printers.

The signs are the responsibility of the individual candidate, not the printer, and not the party. This is why every (legally) placed sign in a public way has the candidates name and contact, or that of their campaign treasurer, in small print on the bottom, either handwritten or a sticker. With the date the sign was placed.

It is the candidate that designs, contracts with a printer and pays for the signs. It is the candidate that places them or has them placed with their campaign staff and volunteers. The only thing the political party has to do with them is provide a central point of distribution for the candidates to supply campaign material.

Yes, I do know how this is done because I'm involved with it at my municipal and county levels, with both individual candidates and the political party.

You have the right idea, you're just specifying the wrong target,

It's not the printers' fault. Fine the CANDIDATES.

Are you able to afford the life you want with the income you have? If so, then you're doing OK.

Exactly.

Maybe "not safe for home"? :)

Why is this flaired "Not Safe For Work"?

If you have a fire place or fire pit, they make good free fire starters.

Should work. If you have a utility bill in your name for the new address that's better.

You absolutely can. Your name doesn't get checked off as having voted until you turn in the ballot.So if you haven't actually turned in the ballot, you can show up in person.

Then my best advise is to reach out to your city/town's Clerk's Office and ask them what you'll need as they are the final arbiter unless you prefer to go all the way to the Secretary Of State's office. They may say that proof residency in the form of the lease/mortgage paperwork and/or utility bill in your name for your residence is enough. Or property tax bills if you own.

When you moved, you should have let the DMV know and you'd get a sticker for the back of your license with the new address, until a replacement can be made and mailed to you. Go take care of that regardless of voting.

I think this should answer your question: https://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/data/resident.html

In practice, a driver's license with the correct address on it, a signed lease or mortgage paperwork or utility bill in your name mailed to the address of residence.

Ah, I don't live in that city. Mine had... none. Those were all handled in the primaries.

There really isn't any nuance in this general election unless you have a third party/independent candidate in the mix for your location. Between the two major parties, there is a stark difference, practically a day and night amount of separation between the policies of the two.

The deadline for mail-in is this Tuesday, Nov 1. However, at this point I would not trust the postal service for this and take the mail-in ballot to your local drop box, which is generally at City/Town Hall. Some larger cities may have some in other locations.

People who downvoted you have no sense of humor.

Yes. It's the same card they'd hand you on-site at the polling location.

However, you do need to do that in person, and vote in person at this point. So depending on your own schedule, show up when the polls open, or immediately after work.

I just heard of this on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

Man, they almost mowed you down.
