⚠️FLORIDA I’ve been posting about this last 2 days “Issues with voter touch screens reported Ballot-marking devices cause problems in FL Early voting for the November general election began in some parts of Florida and the rest of the country this week, and some voters have complained about suspicious problems with voting machines. Reportedly, when some voters tried to cast votes on touch screen voting machines for Democratic candidates, their votes were repeatedly switched to Republican choices. Florida does not use voting machines because the state **requires paper ballots. ⚠️However, voters may use ExpressVote ballot-marking devices for accessibility instead of manually filling in the little bubbles on the ballots. Voters make their selections on-screen, and the devices print those selections on a ballot, which the voter then submits. Some voters in Palm Beach and Duval counties have also reported seeing selections appear for candidates they didn’t want using touch screen devices Article noted that "a gentleman who had a larger hand was hitting the top of the (Democratic) candidate that he wanted but it was hitting the bottom of the other candidate," and that someone with "very long fingernails" ran into a similar issue. She advised voters to request and use a voting stick or stylus instead. ✅Here’s what you should do 1- if there is an option for straight hand marked paper ballot USE THAT ( either your mail in ballot or hand marked paper ballot at polling place ) NOT EXPRESS SCREEN OPTION 2- if you do use an optical scanner , use the stylus provided vs a finger to avoid overlap and getting a wrong choice 3-🎯🎯CAREFULLY REVIEW the ballot spit out to make sure they were indeed your choices 4- if they were not , see polling supervisor for a “spoiled ballot” do over 5- REPEAT .. always opt for a straight hand marked paper ballot . ALWAYS if available 5- DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED .. VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT !!!

A'ja Wilson is the best player in the world. Becky Hammon is the best coach in the league. Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, and Jewel Loyd are future HoFers. Fever couldn't hit a clutch basket. The Aces could've won this game straight up. But they didn't. Big fat asterisk on the W.

macabre = “muh-KAHB” Worcestershire = “WOOSS-ter-sheer” omnipotent = “ahm-NI-puh-tunt” reticent = “RET-uh-sunt” epitome = “ih-PIT-uh-mee” myriad = "MEER-ee-ud" Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.

I'm already seeing some reaction from corners of this hell site talking about how pushing for co-MVP is unrealistic and is basically ceding the award to other candidates and it really should be one or the other And to that I say Hand on shoulder - A'ja is winning this award no matter how deserving Caitlin and Kelsey are so who really cares This is an opportunity for the Fever to make a grand statement about how they feel about both Caitlin and Kelsey and they are saying exactly how they feel Which is that they are inseparable and insanely valuable and together have powered the most productive offense the league has ever seen They are not going to go down a path of promoting one of them at the expense of the other I guarantee you neither the org or the players themselves are interested in that sort of message - a message fundamentally of division within the team That was never going to happen
all eyes on our backcourt duo 🔥 Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, that’s our MVP².

Tonight against the Sky, none of Kelsey Mitchell's assists were to Caitlin. None of Caitlin's assists were to Kelsey. Kelsey had 30/4. Caitlin had 37/10. That means THE FEVER'S 2 GUARDS CREATED 95 POINTS. 2 GUARDS. 95 POINTS CREATED. That's absolutely bonkers.

One of the things I got to see at GenCon was the cover art for the next issue of the Mag of F&SF, which holds my story "From Hell's Heart I Reach to Thee." It's one of my best (IMO) and I'm so stoked that it's going out into the world soon.

You know that old football saying, that if you have two starting quarterbacks you don't have a starting quarterback? I don't know what the equivalent saying is for basketball, but the Fever now have FIVE power forwards: Billings, Hines-Allen, Timpson, VanSlooten, and Onyiah.
we have signed Michelle Onyiah to a player development contract 🔥 learn more: buff.ly/GRhbClI
