A Starting Point

[jazzyjj]

Hi everybody. Someone emailed me a link to the following website last week, and wanted me to test it with Apple's screen reader on the Mac. I think he's planning to do something with it, perhaps spread the word somehow. It seems to be rather new, and I am posting the link here as well as over at my journal. My governor is listed on the site, and I listened to 2 of his answers. Here's the link: https://www.astartingpoint.com . Tags please if I don't get to them later on today?

Election Day!

[tanaqui]

This post is for talking about anything and everything to do with election day and the results.

Tell us about your voting experience if you're voting today,

Tell us if you're doing something today to get out the vote or safeguard voting rights, if you're working for a campaign, or if you're making sure the elections run smoothly. (A big thank you to all of you who are poll workers.)

Tell us about how you're hunkering down in front of five different screens of election coverage or how you're going to bed early and ignoring it all!

Tell us about the downballot races you're excited about and share any local results as they come in.

If it proves necessary, tell us about any urgent actions we need to take (or make a brand new post about them!)

And let's keep each other company while we bite our nails and wait for the results….
