Coop Scoop Special Election Day Edition
Still time to vote. Use it or lose it.

D-day is here. D for Democracy.
This is not an election between two candidates. It’s an election FOR Democracy. The alternative is chaos, some very unstable and threatening characters taking power, rolling back our rights and establishing an autocratic presidential regime.
If you abstain or withhold your vote then you will be counted among those who no longer care about rule of law, civil liberties, or democratic government. No excuses about your ideological purity or moral hesitations.
Many of you have voted. But there are still millions who can vote today. Depending on which state you live in you might be able to register and vote at the same time. Check the website of your Secretary of State for election info.
Some of you are still sitting around with mail-in ballots. Come on. Fill them out and get them postmarked today.
If you think elections and democracy are not important or up to your standards, good luck.
The rest of us are going to be celebrating the defeat of Donald Trump even though it is a sure bet that this mentally and morally hobbled grifter will falsely announce he won before all the votes are counted,
I am not sure if I will be issuing any updates during the day and evening. I might be posting short reactions on https://www.facebook.com/marc.cooper1 Depending on how things shake out tonite I will be doing “the wrap”. - probably the first of many as MAGA will try to overturn the election in the coming weeks. Those more substantial posts will come to you via this platform i.e. on The Coop Scoop via email.
No retreat, No surrender. Smash them.
In North Carolina and probably some other (restrictive-type) states, the absentee (or mail-in) ballot must be RECEIVED (not postmarked) before midnight tonight! It can be dropped off at any voting location in the County or at the County Election Commissioner's Office. Also, anyone who has received an absentee ballot is entitled to simply go to their regular voting location and vote there, instead of submitting the mail-in ballot, if they prefer. Also, if someone goes to the polls, they should bring their official ID if they have one; states like North Carolina require that. Marc, maybe you could kindly pass on this information. Thanks!
Hard to grasp that we have come to the point where “Vote No on Fascism” is a viable slogan for our candidate.
