A Pennsylvania woman whose absentee ballot was returned to her instead of being counted said she flew from Berlin back to her home state to vote in person.

This is the sort of thing that the Medal of Freedom should be given out for.
Yeah. Modern air travel is fucking awful.
bs, she caused massive CO2 emissions while hallucinating that one vote would change something. that’s particularly absurd with the US voting system.
I mean, people…this comment is true. Yes, “every vote counts” in that the more people that show up, the higher the vote count is. But one vote will not sway the election. It will irreversibly harm the climate though. If every single person had this attitude, the story wouldn’t be news, but if this were everyone’s attitude, it would make a difference. I don’t remember the philosopher that theorized the whole “act in a way that you would want made into law for everyone to act in that same way” thing—but what’s worse, everyone expending tonnes of co2 as law or one vote going uncounted?
