Time to vote! I just posted this to Facebook:

Friends, I regret to inform you that we won’t be voting for Biden/Harris on November 4 …

Because today we received our Oklahoma mail-in ballots and can vote for them right away! Huzzah! 😎
One question though: What the actual hell, Oklahoma? Biden/Harris is the third choice out of six for President, after Trump/Pence and the popular Libertarian duo of Jo Jorgensen and Jeremy Spike Cohen. (Kanye West is fifth!) And who the hell are Jade Simmons and Brock Pierce and why are they on my Presidential ballot? 🧐
Also, the three choices for the Straight Party Voting option are listed Republican first, Libertarian second, and Democratic third. Of course, if the Democrats are competitive here in the buckle of the Bible Belt, then they are winning nationally in a landslide. Still, it’s good to do what we can to move the trendline in the right direction everywhere we can. Peace. Vote! ✌️

This is my first (and last, as we’re moving after Thanksgiving) time voting in Oklahoma. At least there’s a straight party voting option, but the front loading of Republican and Libertarian candidates throughout the ballot just blows my mind.
