BREAKING: the NJ Attorney General will ask a judge to keep the polls open in Burlington County until 9 PM to accommodate voters who have faced massive lines -- and some that may have simply gone home.

Long lines to vote in Burlington Twp. Voters say they waited 3 hrs. Some people even ordered a pizza.

A confluence of issues in Burlington County -- nothing nefarious -- has caused hours-long waiting times to vote.
Most important: if you are on the line by 8 PM, you will be able to vote no matter how long it takes.

Given that vaccines reduce the risk of death in younger people to almost zero, it's absolutely brutal that 4000 people aged 25-44 died of Covid in August (and more undoubtedly died in September). If those people had been vaccinated, barely one of them would have died.

Despite the fact that we only have a press release
I am optimistic this will pan out

"When Tyson Foods announced on Aug. 3 that it would require coronavirus vaccines for all 120,000 of its U.S. employees... less than half its work force was inoculated.
Tyson has now reached a 91 percent vaccination rate for its work force."

The poll worker shortage is real. Elections depend on beings fully staffed, so please pass this along.
(Previous tweet deleted. Pay is $200 on Election Day, and $14.29/hour for early voting days on October 23-31.)

“For all the focus about divisions among Democrats, which I understand, more attention should be paid to the fact that almost the entirety of the Republican Party is going to vote against a bipartisan highway bill,” said Representative Tom Malinowski. nytimes.com/2021/09/29/us/po…
