I wonder if it has nothing to do with his signature and everything to do with him being 100?

In other words, someone at the Maricopa County BOE pulled this particular mail-in ballot because he's 100 and not because his signature doesn't match up. No question your signature at 100 years old is not going to match up perfectly with your signature from decades ago when you signed your original voter registration card.

Here in my neck of the woods at the poll sites, voters sign their names using a stylus on an electronic poll pad which results in some very wonky handwriting. However, as long as the main letters are a reasonable match, signature verification is approved and the voter gets the ballot to vote.

If this is a case of the BOE personnel using an 100-year-old man's signature as an excuse to mail out this "your ballot won't count unless you jump through these hoops to prove you're still alive," then it's age discrimination in addition to voter disenfranchisement.

In these MAGA minds, those were the good old days when men were men and women were women

(barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen) and sparing the rod, spoiled the children.

F' all of them!

And providing personal ID info via email or on a website using a public computer is not good.

Why isn't there an option to go in-person to the Board of Elections location?

There are a few photos showing his mid-section and it's as rotund as ever when he's not attempting

to suck it all in. He can't suck in what he's got in the trunk.

No, don't feel any sympathy for her. There's a video on the linked Daily Mail webpage with "Melanie"

making the "White Power" hand sign twice in a row as she carries on a conversation while standing next to the tRump.

My husband uses Bob's Red Mill organic steel cut oats for his daily bowl of oatmeal.

Does Bob's Red Mill oats have Roundup?

We listened to your concerns and took action on this issue. In response to our customers, we worked with our oat suppliers to put an end to their use of glyphosate as a pre-harvest desiccant for all varieties of Bob's Red Mill oats. May 27, 2016

All good at my spot in the country!

Primary Pollutant
This pollutant currently has the highest forecasted AQI in the area.

OZONE
45 Good
Enjoy your outdoor activities.

Other Pollutants
PM2.5
35 Good




Why is PM2 5 so harmful?

PM2.5 (particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter) can penetrate deeply into the lung, irritate and corrode the alveolar wall, and consequently impair lung function.

I donated to the individual in a previous GFM, but haven't since.

I think both he and his mother were entirely dependent on the father/husband to the point of ending up in this very difficult to reverse state of learned-helplessness after his death. Why learn to do for yourself when somebody else is willingly and even lovingly doing it for you? I saw it happen with my dh's family. The two siblings (oldest daughter and youngest son) who went to my in-laws the most for every little or big financial disruption in their lives are also the most messed up adults in terms of managing their finances now that the gravy train, err, parents are deceased.

IMO, nothing is going to get better in the long run for this DUer until he breaks away/cuts-the-cord from his mother and vice versa. The state of learned-helplessness is just being prolonged by him using her to plead for GFM donations and she using him to keep from having to deal with her depression and anxiety on her own.
