The model in the image you linked still looks basically monochrome …

A VM would probably do fine.

When I switched from Tusky to Fedilab it was largely driven by Fedilab’s superior support for multi-level nesting of long comment threads.

He is, after all, only limited in his authority by his own morality.

I just tried to go down the stairs 8 steps at a time.

It’s about precision.

I think it would make you a “see how they vote after the first wave” on their suppression schedule. Like if it scares you into voting “correctly” after all the reliable “wrong” voters are purged … then you can keep voting.

In terms of campaign analytics and polling profiling that would make you an independent voter and likely to receive attention from the campaigns you are eligible to vote for/against.

My point is that it’s not stored as part of your voter registration data. We have open primaries and they record which you voted in so that you can only vote in primary runoffs if you voted in that same year’s original primary.

It does give historical context that “they” use in the “likely <party>” polling forecasts, but the affiliation itself expires at the end of the calendar year of the primary. Not saying that the data can’t be used maliciously, but it’s legally different then what people mean when they talk about their voter registration having that information. States that have that on your voter registration are also likely to have closed primaries, which Texas does not.

The affiliation is automatic when you tell the election official which primary you want to vote in, it’s not a separate action you have to take ahead of time like voter registration is. And it expires at the end of the same calendar year. It’s so you can only vote in a primary runoff if you voted in the original primary.

Yes but that affiliation is automatic when you vote in a primary and expires at the end of that calendar year, to ensure you can only vote in a primary runoff if you voted in the original primary.

Texas doesn’t have party affiliation in voter registration.

Texas does not have party affiliation on the voter registration form or ID card, and we have open primaries.

We don’t have party affiliation on the voter registration forms here though.

this fucking state …

Trump has been asking the DoJ about invoking the Insurrection Act over the immigrant “invasion” since, I believe, inauguration day. The escalation of ICE presence, activity, and tacticsay very well be an intentional effort to provoke a resistance that the DoJ would feel comfortable recommending invoking the Insurrection Act over.

When my car was stolen the police and the county toll road authority both confirmed that neither would bother co-ordinating when my toll tag in that car registered on the toll road sensors.

What are you doing Step-mark?

Stage right

Won’t someone think of the chess Grand Masters?
