GIG IN POMPANO ON THURSDAY
I hope you and yours are safe and sound during these crazy times where the unprecedented has gone off the charts and off the rails.
I'll be performing and hosting a jam session with Blues Over Easy along with Clay Goldstein, Stephen Jeremiah, and Mike Ancona on Thursday at Rips in Pompano. We are subbing for Dan Dratch & The Blues Crusaders who normally host that jam. Dan is in NY and won't be back for a while.
I should add that Blues Over Easy hosts their own regular jam on Wednesdays at Kelly Brothers in Fort Laud, but this gig is on Thursday at Rip's.
VOTING BY MAIL
If you haven't done so already, now is the time to make absolutely sure that you are registered to vote, and to make a decision about HOW you are going to vote. Are you voting in person or by mail? What about exposure to the virus? Stay safe, vote by mail.
Despite what the Trump administration has been saying about voter fraud, the truth is that voting by mail is pretty damn secure. There has been very little evidence of any voter fraud by mail. Voter fraud is very rare, miniscule, a minute fraction of 1%. Voter fraud in general is very rare also.
What is a problem is election fraud. Election fraud is when there is an organized attempt to suppress the vote, intimidate voters, give voters erroneous information on voting, or flipping the votes of voters. Voter fraud is when people who don't have the right to vote cast a ballot, like dead people, or illiegal aliens, or non-citizens, or underage people, people who don't even exist, or people voting more than once. That is extremely rare. It would be quite common if Election Day was on Halloween what with tens of millions of zombies rising from the dead. Fortunately, Election Day is 3 days AFTER Halloween this year. Phew!! Dodged that bullet.
Vote in ballots have to be signed and postmarked by a given date, depending on the state you live in, and the ballot has to arrive by a given date or they are in deed thrown out. Of course, throwing out United States Postal Service sorting machines seems to me (and a lot of other people) to be a "sort" of election fraud. Wink wink. However, election fraud doesn't seem to matter to this administration, only VOTER FRAUD.
Write in ballots and signatures are checked thoroughly. The US military has been voting by mail since the Civil War over 150 years ago with no problem. And 1/4 of all the ballots cast in the 2016 Presidential election were vote by mail ballots.
