Now she can simply turn in one ballot voted Trump and her second ballot voted Harris. Problem solved.

If she wasn't on the two ballot list, well, maybe they've heard about Meade.

Also, "human error" my ass. Someone in the clerks office saw an opportunity and took advantage.

MadTownGuy said...: Wayback Machine integrated into Google search

"The internet is, by its very nature, ephemeral. Sites shut down, and it's as if they never existed. The Internet Archive began backing up the web in 1996 as part of its mission to provide "Universal Access to All Knowledge." Since then, it has saved 916 billion web pages. In 2001, the archive was made accessible and searchable to the general public via the Wayback Machine.

You can find saved versions of web pages by searching web.archive.org or clicking on a Wayback Machine extension in your browser. Now, Wayback Machine links are being added to Google search results.

To access this new feature, conduct a search on Google as usual. Next to each search result, you'll find three dots—clicking on these will bring up the "About this Result" panel. Within this panel, select "More About This Page" to reveal a link to the Wayback Machine page for that website.

Through this direct link, you'll be able to view previous versions of a webpage via the Wayback Machine, offering a snapshot of how it appeared at different points in time.

Google phased out its cached links in search earlier this year. The Wayback Machine has always been better at this than Google, so this is a welcome addition. However, it's unfortunate that the Wayback Machine links are buried under so many layers and not in a more prominent position. You are not likely to find them unless you are actively looking for them."

I'm not sure this is a good thing or a bad thing. If Google takes control of the search results, or distorts them with AI, not so good. If Google is providing convenient access and nothing more, well, good.; 9/27/24, 6:41 PM

@mit930va

If you had any doubts that the US Congress is one of the most stupid, unserious and useless branches of govt look no further than this.

Maynard said...: Rabel,

The question is how many US precincts, including those in the Madison area, will turn out 110% of the vote?

That happened during the Obama election, but it was racist to point it out.; 9/27/24, 6:46 PM

I hope nobody is holding their breath on that.; 9/27/24, 6:46 PM

One of the most darkly hilarious things I've seen in politics is how Democrats and media liberals constantly run around warning that if Trump wins, he'll weaponize the justice system by prosecuting his political enemies, and they do it with zero sense of irony or self-awareness:
Glenn Greenwald

@ggreenwald
The NY appellate court was very skeptical yesterday of the criminal case brought against the Trump Org by NY AG Letitia James: both in terms of its being a crime at all plus the absurdly high fine.

Yet another case of a liberal prosecutor weaponizing the law. And look at this:

JK Brown said...: What the news is not talking about

The ILA (longshoreman) contract expires at midnight on October 1. The parties aren't even at the table anymore. So Monday will be panic day for a strike come Tuesday that would shut down all US ports on the East and Gulf coasts.
