“[w]e are not witnessing a patriarchy or a matriarchy. What we are seeing is perhaps more interesting—a society in which, in many areas, the question of whether you were a man or a woman did not determine the life you could lead.”

In Texas you must request to be registered, you cannot register online (the form is mailed or hand-carried to HQ), and you must be registered 30 days before an election to vote in it.
So if you’re not registered by Oct 7, you’re not voting in Texas this election. Check your reg!

I am reading about the push to mainstream betting on elections the same way you bet on sports on your phone, and as dumb as politics coverage already is, I am not ready for a world where, like, John King is discussing updated live odds on the air on Election Night www.politico.com/news/2024/09...
