I can't remember if we tracked the number of absentee ballots when I was volunteering at the commission in 2020. We scanned the bar code on the envelope each arriving ballot so we could track who had voted (and note so in the poll books). There must be a way to run a report from that system.

My friend J is 102 years old. She lost her second child to a vaccine injury - turned out the baby was allergic to eggs.

My pelvic floor PT changed my life. For two years, I took AZO almost every night from bladder pain. My doc tried different RX but nothing worked. I finally went to a PT and she FIXED ME. I thought I was going to be in pain every night for the rest of my life, but she fixed me.

And it's rare to encounter a jerk in a GOTV phone bank. Most people are pretty nice. If they're not, you just say "Thanks," hang up, and make a note in the file so someone else doesn't have to deal with them next time.

I loved my operations research class at UT and talked to my professor about getting a PhD. He gestured at his tiny, windowless office and asked, "Is this how you want to spend every day?"
