I'm sure there's a relevant xkcd for this, but going through election season as a ND voter never fails to illuminate the edge case that nearly ever web/app developer has missed in their "register to vote" feature

North Dakota voters! Now is the time to request an absentee/mail ballot if you'd like. Remember that ND doesn't require voter registration and also allows for no-excuse mail in voting. vip.sos.nd.gov/absentee/Defa…

All the news is talking about Kansas right now, but did you know that North Dakota – another incredibly red prairie state – is actually secretly a bit of a socialist under the hood (and also has some really good bread)? Read on for a 🧵 about socialism on the prairie! (1/16)

And that's the story! Now the next time you chow down on your favorite slice of pizza, you can know that there's a decent chance its crust came from a highly-socialized industry in one of the reddest areas in the nation (16/16)

P.S. this isn't the only way in which ND is weird. Did you know we also have a state bank (also the only of its kind) and that we're also the only state where voter registration isn't even a thing that exists? ND is seriously progressive in the weirdest possible ways! (Bonus/16)
