MINI-THREAD on votin& #39;.
1) When Tea Pain goes to vote, he leaves his 1984 Winnebago Brave and takes a 3 minute stroll to the Gizzard Ridge Baptist Church. Since Tea Pain first voted in 1995, there& #39;s never been a line.

2) That& #39;s most likely because Gizzard Ridge has a population of less than 60 folks. Think about that. 60 folks have a pollin& #39; place all to themselves. Compare that to Houston, Texas, where a county of over 4 million people have to share a single early votin& #39; drop box.
3) When Tea walks through the door, he& #39;s always greeted by Irv Pence, Gizzard Ridge& #39;s poll manager for the past 42 years. Tea never has to produce a photo ID cause Irv& #39;s known Tea since he was a little critter.
4) Unlike in Philadelphia, there& #39;s no twitchy team of poll watchers hopin& #39; to find a flaw in Tea& #39;s signature from when he first registered 25 years ago.
5) Tea takes his ballot, makes his selections, then hands it back to Irv for safekeepin& #39;. With COVID goin& #39; on, there& #39;s no hangin& #39; around outside and chitty-chattin& #39;, so Tea& #39;s safely back in his Winnebago in less than 15 minutes.
