The City has opened seven satellite election offices across the city for the November 3rd General Election to request and receive a mail-in ballot, complete the ballot and return it – all in person. Voters who requested and received their mail-in ballot can drop off their completed ballot at these locations.
Run by the City Commissioners, the offices will be open seven days a week, starting Tuesday, Sept. 29, and will remain open through Election Day.
The hours of operation are: Monday through Thursday 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Friday – Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Voting was actually simple and easy. I’m glad I did- this is a very important battleground state and all the staff made it easy to file in a way that will NOT be disqualified.

We are living under fascism already “AF” and have been for many many years. Why would you validate the system by voting?

Voting- as early as possible- is essential here in this battleground state. The dark alliance between Trump and the Proud Boys, the Militia Movement and others must be defeated. The authoritarian style dominating the White House and this pandering to the far Right are exceptionally bad news. If and when Biden prevails, the struggle will continue- but on somewhat more favorable terrain.

Non-voter sanctimony sure isn’t doing anything to CHANGE the system, that’s for sure. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Is “AF” actually “American Dream” in disguise? The inconsistent logic sounds familiar. And “American Dream” seems to have disappeared.
