You can read it out loud that way too. KiloGOP has three syllables.
Invariant of the day: In any square mile of the USA, there are 25 Republican voters, the rest of them either vote Democrat or not at all.
It doesn’t work of course. Suffolk County, MA (Boston) has a partial pressure of about 1kGOP/mi2. Nevertheless, it’s closer than you might expect considering how many square miles don’t even have 25 human beings.
This might have been 20 years ago. Some civic organization, probably on Martin Luther King weekend, held a tribute honoring some famous black men. One of the most prominent famous black men they invited was actor James Earl Jones – reasonable enough so far. So they called him up to the stage to present him with his honorary plaque made out to James Earl … Ray.
Party affiliation as listed on voter registration isn’t a loyalty oath either. It’s just a way of asking which primaries you want to vote in. You might as well pick a party with relevant primaries in your area whether you agree with their platform or not.
(Voter registration is public information and may affect which candidates and PACs send you mail.)
This phrasing is so weaselly you baited me into fact-checking it. Congratulations!

meaning it’s crediting Biden with things that haven’t happened yet? I didn’t investigate how many future acres he needs to make this meme true.
more land … first-term persident
The Pacific Remote Islands are much larger, but mostly water. Created by Dubya, expanded by Obama, both times in their respective second terms.
modern
Personally, I’d have counted Carter as modern. His Alaska Conservation Act weighed in at 157 million acres. I think that one got Congressional approval too, so maybe they’re only counting land protected by executive fiat.
Why is Gates’ rate so much lower than the other guys’?
Mail voting is great. I used it with no problems, even though I still had classes on election Tuesday.
Making election day a holiday probably won’t have the effect you’re hoping for.
Best case: Almost everybody goes to work as usual. A few of them get a pay differential for working the holiday.
Worst case: Holiday means holiday. We’ll give all bus drivers the day off to vote – and hope the bus riders live within walking distance of their polling location.
My problem seems to stem from the fact that my searches are often obscure and commercial interests probably wish I was searching for something else.
Because I didn’t notice that. Edited.
Yeah, I’m just proud of myself because I fixed my house like a big boy tonight. Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of problems with my shitty house, but tonight I have a warm shitty house.
Not nationally, but because Maine uses both Instant runoff voting for presidential elections, and the Congressional district method of assigning electors, it’s mathematically possibly for Maine to split its electors 2-2. eg, the Republican wins both districts individually, while the Democrat wins statewide. Not this year though – needs a competitive 3-way race so the runoffs matter.
