* In Ohio, the Republicans have decided there will be early voting in Republican dominant counties, but it will be illegal in democratic dominant ones. After all, really only Republicans should have the chance to vote in a fair election and the fairest election of all is a fixed one in their favour. If the Republican ideas and candidates are so much better, why are they so afraid to put them up to a fair vote?

I left the car there and took a taxi home, as driving with the part in it's current condition endangers the alternator. It's expected they can fix it sometime tomorrow. The pain from driving it to the mechanic is stunning. Apparently being late on my meds was the last straw for my body, so I spent the evening mired in nastiness.
