I am reading diaries and reports everywhere about how insanely long the lines are in many places......specially in Florida, but also other states.

Just wondering if there is a way for the DKos community to not only be helping with GOTV for candidates, but also to coordinate people who have already voted to help in those states with long lines by taking water/beverages, snacks, or other types of things to people who are waiting in line in order to help them wait it out. It's hard to go 6 hours without peeing....maybe people could offer to be place-holders so people can hit the restroom or whatever.

I don't know what's even possible, but if lines are atrociously long already, they could be even worse on Tuesday. And I am in rural North Dakota, so there aren't any lines....we mail our ballots in. But most people aren't that lucky. So I'm sitting here reading this stuff thinking, shit, if I were in the area, I'd go down and help to keep people in line. but I'm not there and can't get there, so i'm throwing this out there to all of you.

If this is already happening, then I apologize for the waste of diary. Otherwise, if there are thoughts or suggestion, let's see what we can do!

Long time reader, sometime commenter, rare writer here, but I wanted to share this information. I live in southeast North Dakota and a friend of mine is running for the ND House in district 44 (which is the north part of Fargo). His name is Joshua Boschee....He is the first openly gay candidate to compete for the ND legislature and is running an amazing campaign. He has been profiled by local news and has appeared often to discuss issues that are important to progressives. He is endorsed by the Victory Fund and is running on the ND Dem-NPL ticket (naturally).

Here is one of his campaign events...good listening!

Here is the most recent spot from a local station, posted to Gay Politics and other sites as well:

His campaign Facebook is here:

Joshua's campaign is working hard, if anyone is interested in throwing him some help, here is ActBlue link:

Let's show him a little Daily Kos love and help him start changing the ND landscape!

Thanks! (and i hope this is a decent enough second diary!)

I have never posted a diary before and this will be short because I am typing with one hand (I broke a wrist last week).

Anyway, I have extremely republican relatives...they LOVE the AZ law. Today, one of my Freeper cousins sent me an email asking me to go to MSNBCs poll to vote that I approve of the law. I'm not quite sure why, but maybe she forgot that I am not a neanderthal or a Rush-addicted robot.

Either way, I went and voted NO. The conserva-freaks seem to have hit it HARD...the vote was 95% Yes 4.5% No. So I thought, well, why not let the DKos community take a whack at evening the score.

They seem to think that if the "liberals" at MSNBS who are "hostile to conservative Americans" see that the law is wildly popular it will somehow be a 'gotcha' moment for MSNBS...or make them look stupid. (Quotes are from her email to me, which I won't post cause none of you need the extra headache of reading that crap).

Anyway...here's the website. See what you all can do!
