Curbside voting can take a while, but it's a great option if you have difficulty standing or getting around. Folks should know that if they do want to go in, it's ok to ask the greeter to get you a chair to wait on or to expedite your entrance. They are trained to accommodate voters' realities.

How ‘the big one’ near Seattle could trigger an earthquake in San Francisco Are two of the deadliest earthquake zones in North America linked? It's possible—but controversial.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.

Minneapolis is a dangerous hellhole, a killing field, and is incapable of running free and fair elections. Sincerely, the committee to reelect the guy who's been mayor for 8 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
