Bring your friends to vote.
Vote. VOTE.
The following is a famous excerpt from James Russell Lowell’s “The Present Crisis,” written in 1844. He was an ardent abolitionist:
Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God’s new Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right,
And the choice goes by forever ‘twixt that darkness and that light.
Your choice. Your vote. Your duty.
Think of the presidential election in 2000, decided by a few hundred votes in Florida.
Think of the vote for a legislative seat in Virginia that ended in a tie and was decided by a coin toss.
Your vote matters. It may be the deciding vote.

Media Matters posted a timeline for Tucker Carlson’s “Descent into White Supremacy”.
Carlson’s program, Daily Caller, airs on Fox.
After the murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, a GOP state senator from N.C., Dan Bishop, invested in Gab, the social media site used by the synagogue shooter. Bishop’s defense was, free speech for hate from racists, sexists and the religious intolerant.
“Freedom and liberty” are the bait and switch used by the bigoted American oligarchy.

This is probably not the place to suggest this, but here goes.
The lack of a solution to the problem of Florida strikes me as one more symptom of the disease that has struck both major parties. Why has no one come up with a tiebreaker system that does not involve the Supreme Court? The obvious answer is that each side hopes that it might use the absence of fair tiebreakers to gain some advantage in the future.
A multitude of possibilities exist. My favorite is the sharing of the electoral college votes by percent. Winner take all in the electoral college spawned the Florida debacle. In that instance, it would have made far more sense to have watched as the state’s electoral votes were equally divided between Gore and Bush. Much of the hostility that followed this contested election might have been avoided. In races that are split 60/40, perhaps the electoral votes might be split somewhere along those lines, so that the minority party voters do not feel disenfranchised by the election.
Another possibility might be to jettison both candidates and re-vote on a new pair who might present voters with a better choice. I have often wondered if it is advisable to seat candadites who cannot excite a majority of voters to come to the polls.
We have tie breakers in high school sports. Surely we can have they where it is important.

Some have also suggested eliminating the electoral college. Instead, we could rely on the popular vote across state, especially since we have no need to assuage the “slave states.” It sometimes feels as though we are stuck with this same mentality. https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/

I think I understand you (tho my grasp of electoral college mechanics is weak). It sounds like it could work?
I do not agree w/dispensing w/the electoral college altogether as retired teacher suggests [i.e., popular vote prevails]. I think it important to allow weighted votes to states w/relatively few people/ sqmi. Those states have a different row to hoe, & should not have governance dictated by congested-pop states; that undermines the balance of state sovereignty to fed govt. But I like the idea of tweaking the electoral college mechanism so that it responds to close results, if that’s what you’re saying (?)

Happy to say whole family voted, tho it involved considerable issues w/work schedules & cars [1 in shop] — 1st time we all voted since 2016!… We voted straight Dem ticket EXCEPT for County Freeholders [we call them County Freeloaders], who are old-timey Dems collecting County taxes & distributing them happily among their buddies, w/nothing left over for public but a few free events nobody cares about… So our family has been voting Rep on County Freeloaders for 25 yrs [to no avail]… ?!
