SE is expecting rain on Tuesday. Will cut down on voters relying on public transit -

the elderly and those with small kids.

Anyone who can, please contact your local Dem HQ to offer rides to the polls.

Or show up at polls with umbrellas. Golf umbrellas are usually large enough for 3 people.

Nevertheless.....we persisted.

These panicked weather OPs always show up before an election. Breaking: The US is a really big country where it might rain or snow in part of it on any given November day. Big whoop. In other news, water is wet.

The weather will not impact this election. It rarely does.
