So, what does Packing and Cracking mean to you as a voter? …


Redistricting or

~ Packing~  opposition voters into districts (concentrate as many voters of one type – (maybe party&race ) means they already win 

~ Cracking~  the remainder among districts where they are moved into the minority (increasing votes for eventual losers), the number of wasted votes among the opposition can be maximized. Similarly, with supporters holding narrow margins in the unpacked districts, the number of wasted votes among supporters is minimized.

So, the question is … what will help all American voters against redistricting Black Folks outta their communities

: paper ballots, digital voting, touchID, passcodes … something has to change!

How obvious is it to note that it’s time to deal with old outdated, complicit relationships that conflict with ethics morality democracy …oh separation of powers, church and state, lest we talk about the Constitution 

 Time to wipe up the Congressional floor with Republican ideologies.

The things that are on my mind while Congress continues to take a few days here there making it a whole less than the 270-365 days at work usually required by the rest of us… called a congressional recess? seriously

It would be great if Voters who believe in Equality in all its forms would vote for Ds …  Those of us Must Stand up to congressional redistricting & continue to Stay in LINE for our democracy … please use our most powerful weapon as Americans and that is our right to VOTE

Mid-term Elections Matter, and thanks to checks and balances, voters can see the bs through the lies and fascist actions which are needed in this era of trump … but is it enough? The guy still seems outta control, and people who either worked during the era of trump or know folks who work there are trying to warn us the guy is suffering from something on some level … why is his health and behavior being ignored by MAGA congressional members ?

Flood – Outlook ~Western Washington


Thu, Oct 30, 1:04 PM PDT to Fri, Oct 31, 7:00 AM PDT with ongoing updates

Hydrologic Outlook issued by NWS Seattle WA

ESFSEW

A moderately strong atmospheric river will impact western Washington Friday through Saturday night, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall to the region. Mean rainfall forecast remains between 2 to 4 inches with locally 5+ inches, with the heaviest rain on track to fall over the Olympic Peninsula and over the northern and central Washington Cascades. While the Skokomish River is the only river currently forecast to enter minor flood stage on Saturday, many other rivers are forecast to reach action stage on Saturday, including the Bogachiel River on the Olympic Peninsula and the Skagit, Snohomish, Skykomish, and Snoqualmie Rivers in the Cascades. Some uncertainty remains over rainfall amounts over the mountains, and river conditions will continue to be closely monitored.

Where heavy rain occurs, the relatively high rain rates could produce flash flooding/debris flows on the more sensitive burn scars. It could also cause ponding or nuisance flooding in urban areas and small streams where drainage is poor or drains are clogged by leaves.

Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather Service for additional information.
