Like seriously how are Braille ballots supposed to work? It’s a minor point, since Anderson raised all the big ones, but that irks me.

Also a 5% recount threshold? That’s insanely high.

Quote of the Week: "A NEW STORY ON WRITING THREAD FOR HALLOWEEN!! MYSTERY MINE AVAILABLE NOW!"

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

I'm not sure what's too complicated about Braille ballots

The visually impaired vote from home by absentee ballots/mail-in votes, and if they do vote in person, most polling stations include audio and touch screen voting machines. Not to mention, not all blind people read Braille. This also means the government would have to shell out to pay for textured paper in order to make a Braille ballot.

I’ll let Stevenson answer Harrington question first however.

That's why the bill uses Braille as an example and sets up for other non visual methods. And yeah, they'd obviously have to make the ballots

It just seems like a weird objection

I’m trying to tap into the Rhodes mindset. This feels like something he would do.

It's either a fascist symbol (yes, they're allowed, just not the swastika. I once got away with using the nazi eagle in front of a moderator) or a Hindu/Buddhist one.
