I was at the central counting office for my county where the ballots are counted. The democratic appointed judge for ballot counting could not make it and there had been an attempt by the GOP to disrupt the ballot board. The asshole GOP party county chair tried to tell the ballot board that they could not start processing mail in ballot until election day because that is how TFG wanted done. The head election administrator showed him the law on how counting vote by mail ballots are to be counted and the idiot GOP chair claimed that the election code was written by Democrats (the Democratic party in Texas has not been in control of the Texas govt. since 1994).

There is a procedure for checking in machines that come in. They read the vote counts at one of four central locations and transmit this to the county. The scanner that counts the votes is then put into box and sealed. The election judges come to the county central office and turn in the sealed box and the machine that checks in voters is read to get a count of the number of voters who checked in.

I know the people in the election office and the lady who swore us in asked me about my children who have been election judges/clerks in the past. The process was going smoothly, and I was told that they did not expect to be finished unto 2 AM. I ended up leaving at 11 PM.

Boring is good.

Steve Kornaki drives me batty.

My problem is, I don’t want any of them to lose and I don’t want it to end.

watch them again.

He's a nerdy kind of guy, but I like him at the 'BIG' board.

I get a kick out of his exciement. When he really gets going, he's like a big old puppy with a brand new squeaky toy!

I will be watching MSNBC in any case, because RACHEL!

A lot of my other favorite people will be there, but I'd watch anyway to see her. She's like the HBIC now, too, leading the whole panel discussion, and I love it!

I miss her so much now that she's not on every night. Alex is great, and I've become a fan, but I still miss my daily RACHEL! fix. 😁

... tuning in to someone else.

I expect our Democracy is down the shitter. I hope I'm wrong but probably not. I have to decide what to do now.
