  1. The funniest thing I experienced working the polls today (aside from all the “Independents” seething that the Republican primary is now closed) was this exchange, in the context of the two “I Voted” stickers available:

    old man: “So is the blue sticker for the retarded men?”
    me: chuckles, falling to hide my amusement
    old man: “Oh, you’re the Republican commissioner!”
    me: “Democrat, but I can take a joke.”

    Same old guy then proceeded to talk about how he’d like to shoot Zohran Mamdani dead as the clerks politely gestured towards the door.

  33. I’m in a public library today. (I’m a reserve #electionofficer so I get random assignments each time. I never work the same precinct twice, it seems).

    What makes this location unusual is that it is an #earlyvoting location before #electionday. If you vote early, you come in, tell them your name and address, and they figure out what district you’re in. Then they print the right ballot for you right there. Anyone from any precinct in Fairfax County can vote at any early voting site. This means that for the last 3 weeks or so, people have been coming to this #library and #voting early.

    But if you #vote ON election day, you may only vote in the precinct where you are assigned. (Where you live) So we will get voters today who come in and say “But my wife/son/neighbour voted here just last Thursday!” And that’s absolutely true. And today we have to look them up and say “we are sorry, but you must vote at XYZ.”

    So we turn away a LOT of voters here on election day because they expect to vote here when they don’t live here. I’m told by the regulars that it can be as high as 30% of people who walk up.

  34. Here is my root post for my #electionofficer thread. It’s #electionday for #Election2025. I’m serving as an officer in #fairfax county #virginia. While I work the polls I talk about what’s happening, what I’m seeing, and a little behind-the-scenes on working elections. It’s 06:20 now and I’ve been here since 05:00 and I haven’t had a chance to post yet. It’s busier than you’d expect. I’ll explain why when I get a chance.

  35. Election Day is Tuesday, November 4, 2025. Polls open early morning with varying times by state and close between 8:30 PM to 9:00 PM. Voters will decide multiple gubernatorial races, mayoral positions, and local elections nationwide.

  36. #WabanakiAlliance Urges Voters to Reject Question 1 on Nov. 4

    "On #November4th, Maine voters will face a referendum question, #Question1, that seeks to fundamentally change Maine’s election laws and make it significantly harder for #Wabanaki citizens and all Maine voters to cast their vote — especially our #elders, people with #disabilities, working voters, #caretakers, and those without reliable transportation.

    "The Wabanaki Alliance is a proud partner of the #SaveMaineAbsenteeVoting campaign and stands in strong opposition to this measure, which would create unnecessary barriers to voting and disproportionately harm our citizens. For the #WabanakiNations, the right to vote is sacred and the result of a hard-won battle by our ancestors. Voting rights weren’t extended to Wabanaki citizens in Maine until 1967, decades after federal voting rights for indigenous people were passed in 1924. Another deeply troubling aspect of this ballot measure is that it explicitly excludes #TribalIdentification from the list of acceptable forms of #VoterID. As federally recognized tribal nations, we value our #TribalSovereignty and self-determination. This exclusion seeks to invalidate and undermine the ability to identify our people and have that authorization respected. As the original stewards of these lands and waters now called Maine since time immemorial, we find it imperative to assert this right and have it honored.

    "Question 1 is not a measure to secure our elections. It is a measure to suppress votes. The Wabanaki Alliance urges all Maine voters to vote NO on Question 1 this November to protect the right to vote for all Mainers.

    How Will Question 1 Make It Harder to Vote?

    Q1 will restrict your ability to request an absentee ballot by:

    Creating a voter ID requirement for the first time AND excluding Tribal IDs, university or college student IDs, employee IDs, Social Security cards, and birth certificates from the list of acceptable IDs required to request and return an absentee ballot or to vote in person on Election Day.
    Eliminating the option to call your town clerk to request an absentee ballot, making it harder for those without reliable transportation or internet to request an absentee ballot.
    Prohibiting town clerks from sending you an absentee ballot that you requested online until you provide proof of an approved photo ID, either in person or by mailing a photocopy of your photo ID or your driver’s license number or non-driver ID number.
    Eliminating ongoing absentee ballots for seniors and people with disabilities.
    Eliminating the ability for a designated family member or friend to pick up your absentee ballot on your behalf.

    Q1 will make it harder for you to return your absentee ballot by mail or drop box by:

    Limiting towns to only offering a single ballot drop-box at the town hall. This would mean town clerks would be prohibited from providing absentee drop-boxes that are most convenient to where Wabanaki citizens live.
    Prohibiting towns from including return postage on absentee ballots, even if taxpayers vote to fund it.
    Requiring you to include a photocopy of an approved photo ID or your driver’s license number or non-driver ID number with your absentee ballot. Your vote will not be counted without that proof. The referendum also excludes Tribal IDs and other forms of valid ID from the list of acceptable IDs required to vote.
    Eliminating the ability for a designated family member or friend to return your absentee ballot for you.

    Q1 will undermine the security of absentee voting by:

    Second-guessing town clerks, requiring a two-person, bipartisan team to check ballot boxes, instead of the clerk or a trusted member of their staff. This restriction will place undue pressure on town clerks, and will lead many towns to simply get rid of their secure drop-boxes.

    Q1 will make it harder to vote in person, either on Election Day or by absentee ballot, by:

    Shortening the time period for early absentee voting by two days — eliminating the two most popular days for early absentee voting.
    Creating a voter ID requirement for the first time AND excluding Tribal ID, university or college student ID, employee ID, Social Security card, or birth certificate from the list of acceptable IDs required to cast their ballot.


    Key Dates

    ✅ October 30: Last day to vote early in-person absentee and the last day to request an absentee ballot.*

    ✅ November 4: Election Day. Polls are open from 8 am to 8 pm. All absentee ballots must be returned to your town clerk by 8 pm."
