put all of your election posting here so it doesn't bother anyone else!

from @CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net:

For Agitprop purposes, I’m asking comrades to help aggregate any and all effortpost responses, critiques, or general thoughts that you have seen or written pertaining to yesterday’s U.S. election that you think have standalone value for discussion either online or IRL.

I made a post for that purpose here, and ideally it can be used not only for general discussion, but as a reference for well thought out responses in discussions about the election to save all of us some brainpower.

No shitposts please, as we’d like to highlight some comrades’ actual effort in constructing responses or analysis, but humor is 100% welcome to help make your point!

    Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses:

    “It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.”

    This election is such a joke lol

      I have a decent signature but those digital pads are utter garbage at capturing it

        Yeah, it's ridiculous. They're comparing my signature on one of those crappy digital signature things at the BMV to my ballot signature with my index finger on an iPad. What can you expect when it comes to accuracy

          I can write my signature a bunch of times in a row on the same piece of paper and it will gain and lose completely different features each time

            My real name has few too many n's and m's near each other and at a certain point it just becomes however many little humps I draw that time. I write my signature two times a year on average and have dogshit hanwriting so they'd be able to get rid of me no matter what.
