I moved to a different county just over 2 years ago and updated my registration the day I moved. I have voted in every election since then in my new county.

Instead of waiting I had found another office in the mean time. But an 18 month waitlist is ridiculous.14 Jul 2026 19:24 +0000at://did:plc:cfcoofp3rxdb2ixtmfnsucyf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqmwnjp7ks2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/japip.bsky.social/post/3mpz6nmi24c2gWith all of the unknown of the health of a certain Senator, I can't help but think of how useful age limits for elected office would be.06 Jul 2026 22:54 +0000at://did:plc:cfcoofp3rxdb2ixtmfnsucyf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpz6nmi24c2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/japip.bsky.social/post/3moxoh5gul223While I am thankful to have health insurance, it is also disheartening to see the prices of medications.
