Just one polling place in one riding, but it has been pretty quiet so far.#bcpoli #bcelxn2024

@GottaLaff @chris mine is the local elementary school. Sometimes churches/public spaces.
Results this year should come in an hour cuz we have an automated counter system now.

Because my partner did not grow up on the coast, they have classified many types of rain.
I just roll my eyes and get wet.

Glad my new location (ON) is up to the 1990s. Most of the US jurisdictions I've lived in had machine counted ballots by the early 2000s. But then, ballots in Canada are so simple.
See p.1 of my most recent absentee ballot from OK (I am a dual nat):

@VE2UWY @KimberlyN @chris @GottaLaff Pardon my ignorace here, but why are there a bunch of names below the names o f president/VP candidates? And why would voting for Harris, include automatic vote for a bunch of people you may not agree with?

@jfmezei @VE2UWY @KimberlyN @GottaLaff I believe those are the "state electors" assigned to the candidates for the Electoral College? Worst system ever!!

Correct. No one in the US votes for president/vice-president except the Electors. They aren't free to vote for whoever, tho', as most states require them to reflect the will of the people.
Occasionally, there are faithless electors, in which case lawyers get rich.
Recall that this is a remnant of a system that made complete sense at the end of the 18th C/beginning of the 19th C ... which was changed in 1804 (see 12th Amendment).
