Got to work today and as I parked I saw "Hillary" on a bumper sticker on another car. I wondered how anyone with a security clearance could support someone who got away with something that would get any of us locked up.

Then I saw the entire bumper sticker:

Hillary for Prison

Not so many around here, but more Trump signs than you'd expect, and I do work in a government lab

There is a Trump sign at the bottom of my street, and I've seen a pickup driving around with a big flag and Trump signs. Saw another Trump sign somewhere, too.

You see, I live in a redneck part of Massachusetts - most people around here actually work for a living. A quarry, manufacturing plants, etc.

Help wanted signs, largely for CDL drivers.

Lucky you.  Around here during primary elections I have to use the voting booth for Republicans.  There could easily be 100 folks in line for one of the three Democrat booths but I can just walk up to the one marked Republicans.  I sometimes get dirty looks when coming out.

Where I am, you ask for the primary ballot, but the booths are the same. Fill in the little ovals and then feed the ballot into the machine.

Only a few years ago, it was x marks on a human-read ballot, fed into a wood ballot box with a brass crank. We were one of the last towns to produce results. Now I have no idea what happens. At least there are the paper ballots for a recount.

BTW, Hillary got a plurality, but Trump+Johnson(libertarian) got more votes that Hillary+Stein(green)

CA will be switching over to Voting Centers fairly soon.  I think you can cast your ballot in various ways but paper is going to only be one of the ways.  I believe we will be able to hook our smart phones to some type of a machine and cast a vote.  To me, it sounds horrible and these "centers" are going to be much further away than we are used to going.  The whole idea reeks but the state forced the counties to re-vamp their voting and this was Los Angeles County's idea of compliance.

I saw a Trump 2020 sticker on a massive, late-model SUV at my doctor's office this morning.

And they'll bus illegals to the center, and real citizens will have to wait in line.
