Today, Friday, October 30, 2020, has been beautiful: the autumn air crisp, the trees about to lose the orange and gold and red leaves. As I walked across the parking lot at 10:20, about 700 people already were in line for early voting. 1/9

We were lucky the weather was nice. Rain or sleet would have been a bite. People were patient. Only one person, out of over 1,000, wore a maga hat. Otherwise people were polite. By the time our part of the line entered the building, at 1:40, few people grumbled. 5/9

The GOP is doing what it can to suppress the right to vote. I stood in line with people who did not have faces that reflected “grim determination” - just determination. That’s what really struck me. We won’t give up our rights - at all, much less easily. 6/9

Maybe it’s a good thing to force so many people to experience unnecessary hardship as they seek to exercise their rights - as has been the experience of non-white people and poor people. We can do something about it - vote people out who restrict the franchise. 7/9

On my way home, people on the radio talked about how Texas - a dependably GOP State for a couple of decades now - is in play in this year’s election for President. 8/9

Hell, the way the GOP “suppresses” the vote - pissing people off so much they’ll show up early and stand in line for several hours to make damn sure they get to vote - Indiana soon could be “in play.” And we didn’t even get any stickers. We voted. We count. 9/9
