Slightly off topic but can I ask what company you used? Also, did you have any previous diagnoses for anxiety or insomnia?

I think that if me serving jury duty without losing my home is prohibitively expensive then the onus is on the people who are using the threat of violence to force me not to work to figure out how to fix that. The jury, by definition, didn't do anything wrong and they get punished no matter what the outcome of the trial is.

No, actual wage is the only acceptable solution. I built my life assuming I'd be able to pay for it with the money I make at my job. My life will fall apart if you force me not to work my job. Therefore, the only way to make me whole if you use the threat of violence to stop me collecting a paycheck is to fully replace that paycheck.

Looks like it's time to teach everyone the Litany Against Jury Duty:
"Due to the unreliability of witnesses and the moral abhorrence of sending an innocent person to prison, if selected I will exercise my right to jury nullification and vote to acquit without regard to either the law or the facts of the case."
I'm not against participating in a free and fair society but they've ignored what we need to do so for so long that if I caught two weeks of jury duty I'd literally lose my house. To me that means it's time to subvert the system.

I've been lurking in the Mastriano Memes Facebook group for weeks now just so I can be there when the narrative goes from "we're definitely gonna win" to "there was definitely widespread but unprovable voter fraud", and also to take screenshots for the FBI when that widespread but unprovable voter fraud leads to Republican terrorism.

Explain how, and why online fraud is still in the hundreds of billions of dollars a year if the solution is simply "track it, everything online is trackable"

Software engineer checking in here: no. God no. Take that idea a hundred miles out into the desert, bury it ten feet deep in the ground, then launch an orbital nuclear bombardment at it.
Edit: if you're about to tell me that I'm wrong and this is easy, I recommend you consult the opinion of every other actual developer in this thread. You'd be hard pressed to find an engineer who would trust their elections to modern software capabilities and practices, and the reason is because it will be vulnerable. Not maybe, not eventually, but to a determined and well-funded actor it will be critically vulnerable from day one and it will remain critically vulnerable for the entire lifetime of the system.

If Trump had said "Wear a mask and stay home if you feel sick" in January of 2020 he'd still be the president, happily selling state secrets to all and sundry. It was his inability to strategize in a non-comic-book-villain way that made him and $50/gram Kush decide that the best way forward was to encourage the plague and hope it killed more Democrats than Republicans.

Why wouldn't they. Everything we're proud of as Americans goes directly against conservative principles. Separation of church and state, allowing people to live their own lives and make their own decisions free from state interference, giving people a say in their own governance, caring for one another, ensuring as best we can that everyone has a bed and no one goes to that bed hungry, giving people who've made mistakes a way in from the cold in order to fully participate in society, all of it is fundamentally counter to what conservatives want, and they're simply wrong.

Two years ago was time to present evidence or shut up. They were told this by judges in about 70 different court cases, and they chose to shut up (in court, where lying has consequences) every time.

I think you understand exactly why Republicans are looking for reasons to reject individual ballots. It's part of a larger effort by them to find a way to reject the concept of voting overall.

Republicans are simply against voting. Whether they're running ad campaigns whose sole purpose is getting voters to stay home, casting fake doubts about election integrity, trying to make it harder for individuals to vote, mass purging eligible voters from the rolls or endorsing a wacky theory that says that state legislatures can simply ignore the popular vote and pick the president with no recourse for the citizens whose voice was stolen, Republicans hate voting because what they want to do is really unpopular and if people vote, Republicans lose.

>Gov. Tom Wolf will now be tasked with appointing a new justice to fill the vacancy on the court, following an application process and approval by the state Senate. However, the state Senate has seven remaining session days scheduled for the remainder of 2022 – and only one in November – meaning it’s likely that the next governor of Pennsylvania will choose who fills the vacancy.
