Electrical cooperatives, still pretty common in many rural parts of the country, typically operate off of a system where members in defined districts elect a board member from their district to represent them.

Once I was asked to be a witness to the official vote counting at an electrical cooperative (it's a long story why).

They used the same system, with the ballot placed into the secrecy envelope, which in turn is placed into an envelope which is addressed.

First, I would guess that out of a thousand votes there were somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 that screwed that up. The most common mistake was simply omitting the secrecy envelope, but we had votes where the ballot was placed into the addressed envelope, and then placed inside the secrecy envelope. We got checks and electrical statements. We got secrecy envelopes correctly placed inside addressed envelopes, but then no ballot was put in the secrecy envelope.

It actually was pretty eye-opening, and definitely a head shaking moment for me.

Remember the bottom kid in your high school class?

A new poll conducted for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution shows the presidential race in Georgia could not be closer, with President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden tied in a political environment dominated by the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic as well as protests over racial inequality.

The poll pegged Trump and Biden at 47% apiece, with an additional 1% of voters backing Libertarian Jo Jorgensen. Only 4% were undecided in the survey of 1,150 likely voters, which was conducted Sept. 11-20 by the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs.

Georgia’s twin U.S. Senate races are also competitive. U.S. Sen. David Perdue (47%) and Democrat Jon Ossoff (45%) are neck-and-neck, within the poll’s margin of error of 4.3 percentage points. Libertarian Shane Hazel has 4% support, and about 5% are undecided.


The special election for U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s seat is still highly unsettled. Loeffler is pegged at 24%, echoing other polls that suggest she’s built a slight lead. But U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, her fiercest Republican rival, and Democrat Raphael Warnock are within striking distance at roughly 20% each.

I honestly did not realize the Libertarians still existed. And I have voted for them. More than once. For my sins I was given the Wilpons.
 
I read that earlier...was going to post it but figured it would lead to someone saying it is Dems getting haughty or something ;-)
 
I spent all day driving around rural Wisconsin, mostly in Waupaca County, and was a bit shocked at the number of Biden/Harris signs out in yards. And not even in the little cities in the county, out in the really rural parts where you swear you hear the banjos playing. They were still outnumbered by trump signs, but not overwhelmingly so. Who knows what this little anecdotal observation means -- if anything -- but I have to say it was at least a little encouraging. Biden will obviously lose the rural areas to trump, but hopefully he pulls enough votes there to help ensure a win in this state.

The Quiet Biden voter is definitely a thing methinks. Given how loud, bombastic, and aggressive most Trump voters are it’s not easy being “different”.

I read an article about it when Trump was in Bemidji. There aren't many but they are out there.
