@mattblaze@federate.social @20002ist@thepit.social Curing! That's the word I was looking for. I was curing ballots Learning about APP was in equal parts fascinating and horrifying It's 211 miles from my door to the Clown Motel in Tonopah, which is a mile from where the curing is done. I left a sunny warm Las Vegas afternoon to arrive to freezing temps, snow, and winds of 27 mph I will never stay in a room with doors that face the outside (as opposed to an interior hallway) ever again. The windows were badly sealed, so I spent the night watching the curtains inside the room blow for seemingly no reason. Also, a litter of kittens was running up and down the second story breezeway and -- as I discovered via snow tracks in the morning -- patting their little kitten paws against my door, making me believe someone was trying the doorknob My rational mind knew I was okay but my nervous system sure didn't I was just checking out when they called the election for Biden and I hugged the CM owner, Covid caution bedamned

@mattblaze@federate.social @kims@mas.to Have you been reading about this asinine new rule in N.C. that invalidates mail-in ballots if the *inner* envelope isn’t sealed? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/us/politics/north-carolina-senate-mail-ballot-rejections.html
