Why the heck wouldn’t you vote?
I love my polling place. It’s a one-truck firehouse. I see neighbors whose paths I haven’t crossed recently, and there’s almost always a school group selling gooey treats and lukewarm coffee. We don’t need those “I voted” stickers– just look for smeared frosting.

If I may register a complaint: What the hell, Girl Scouts? I have a pocket full of cash, and you have Thin Mints. There was plenty of room for a table on the front steps of the community building. And don't give me a lot of jibber-jabber about how this is Tuesday morning and you are supposed to be in school. We all have to make hard choices sometimes.
My daughter's Brownie troop sold each and every one of the 260 boxes they had. on Sunday afternoon.
This is the fault of your town/city/state. In our Vermont, it's Town Meeting Day, which is by definition generally not a school day. Kids and their parents should both have voting days free.
Doesn't work. Then my kids would be home from school eating *my* Thin Mints.
Australia – votes on a Saturday. Independent electoral commission endeavors to ensure that every qualified adult is on the roll. Polling stations in just about every primary school, open from 8 to 6. Very rare to queue for more than 10 minutes. Regular over 90% turnout. Preferential voting (if your first choice does not get up, your second choice will count). The US: democracy as it was a century ago.
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
