Not to derail the conversation from license plates, but this via my wife's friend...I went through the citizenship ceremony.When you are approved at the interview you are told to wait for notice of the ceremony to be held two or three months later.The ceremony has the air of a celebration. Mine was in a local theater with something like 200 new citizens there with families and friends attending. A judge presides, who in my case was originally from Mexico and had his own story to tell. There was a class of children on the stage who sang songs and read essays about being American. The video of the president welcoming us was played. Everyone had to stand and pledge allegiance. The judge asked if anybody wanted to speak, someone going out into the audience with a microphone. He'd ask where they were from, how long the process had taken, etc. Hearing this is where it gets really touching. For many of these people this was a huge deal. A lot of very happy people in the room.You receive a packet containing things like the voter registration form, booklets about the US and being a citizen, and a flag. On your exit you are given your naturalization certificate and it's all done.

I tried phone-banking yesterday and remembered why I hated it so much. Spiked my anxiety levels. I'm far better as a tech support and logistics guy or even a canvasser than being on the telephonic front line.

"That's got to be troubling for Romney," McDonald said. "Election Day would have to be a Republican parade for Romney to win (Iowa)"

I don't think early voting stats matter all that much tbh.
― Gukbe, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 20:13 (eleven years ago) link
well they matter in that people whove already voted cant change their mind, so if youre behind when early voting starts then its harder for you to come back than it would be w/o early voting
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 20:29 (eleven years ago) link
i early voted today btw
so thats one vote for obma sry mitt romney
also if youve voted then that eliminates the chance you wont vote

yeah it doesn't mean 'obama wins iowa' but it's a signal of gotv strength
― iatee, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
is there any reason to suspect early vote would be non-representative or skewed democrat in iowa?
― flopson, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 20:49 (eleven years ago) link
seems to be the case but i wonder why
In Colorado, Florida, Iowa and North Carolina, Obama banked so many early votes in 2008 that he won those states even though he ran behind in each in votes cast on Election Day itself, according to voting data compiled by the Associated Press.
― flopson, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 20:50 (eleven years ago) link
democrats just trying harder to get people to vote early prob
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 20:51 (eleven years ago) link
dems pushed early voting harder + just a bigger gotv machine + obv more enthusiasm last time xp
― iatee, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
there's an inherent interest in it for dems because their base is less likely to vote regardless

k cool

Even if you get hit by a bus before Election Day. That's why I like early voting -- the potential to influence earthly events from beyond the grave.
