\nLook, I don’t know anything. If you’re a liberal and you want to read something smart and civic-minded about voting, then you should go read Daily Kos<\/a> and Talking Points Memo<\/a> and lots of other blogs that cover that stuff better than I could even if I tried.<\/p>\n

And if you want to feel inspired, read this post<\/a>, which Kip <\/a>says is the only post you need to read. (It is damn inspiring.)<\/p>\n

And if you’re in Oregon and you haven’t voted, please do vote – and please, please <\/i>vote No on Measure 36. <\/b><\/p>\n

It’s too late to mail in your ballot, but you have until 8pm tonight to drop your ballot off in person – call your county election office <\/a>and ask them for a list of drop-off locations. (If you live in Multnomah county, you can find a list of ballot drop-off sites here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

If you haven’t recieved a ballot, then go and vote in person at your county election office<\/a> – as long as you’re a registered voter, they’ll give you a ballot. There will be a line, though, so bring a book with you.<\/p>\n

If you want to vote No on 36 and you need a ride to the county election office, or if you need someone to drop off your ballot for you, call your nearest No on 36 office – you can find the phone numbers here <\/a>– and they’ll be glad to help you out. (If you want to vote Yes on 36, why the heck are you reading this blog?)<\/p>\n

A couple more election-related notes:<\/p>\n

Want to hear something amazing? As of 6pm yesterday<\/i>, 68% of Multnomah county voters have already voted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve been meaning to post about the “Yes on 36” faux-hip generation-Z site <\/a>for days, but I haven’t gotten around to it, and now – one way or another – it’s too late. Anyway, Kip has already said it far better than I could<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
