Not gonna let this stop me

[soc_puppet]

Just sent an email to my dad, asking him to point me to who I should contact to sign up for working a voting booth, or being a voter transporter, or whatever. I'm not up for canvassing or trying to convince people; Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria will absolutely demolish me. But I can help people get to the voting booth, or make sure that the voting booths are staffed. I may ask if there's more behind-the-scenes stuff I can do, as well.

Excellent!

I feel like this is the best move forward for me, honestly. I hope other people especially those likely to vote for Biden/against Trump decide to do something similar.

Thank you for doing this.

Sure thing! It seems like a very ethical and positive action that I can take at this time to support our democracy, while still not being horribly overwhelming for me, so: Perfect fit, really.

[mistressofmuses]

Agreed!

I'm so glad you're doing this!

I can't, and I'd be happy to support your work -- let me know.

I looked over the requirements last night, and it doesn't seem any more grueling than running convention registration was the years I did it, so I expect to be fine on that angle 👍 At the moment, my chief worry is Covid-related: I'm planning to keep masking, because Covid, but I do live in a red state, so I hope I don't have to deal with too many anti-mask assholes about it 😑 Alternately, I hope that my fellow poll workers are willing to help me out in that respect. (Though I have no idea what we'll do in the unlikely event that we all wear masks.)

Thank you, I will ♥
