The Guardian liveblog is here. I’ll probably be following the debate there, and via your comments, plus of course my favorite twitter feeds.
The Post had a whole long story about what a perilous challenge the debate poses to Biden, with passages along the way mentioning that Trump’s aides cannot get him to pay any attention to debate prep and he refuses to practice

Trump did not write that last tweet.
JMG
OK, here’s the poll of the year. CBS asked voters who said they were going to watch the debate why they were. Like 75 percent said it was to watch their preferred candidate perform. Only six percent said it was to help them decide how to vote. But in my all-time favorite response, eight percent said they’d watch because it would be the only thing on TV. What a confession of an empty life! Too lazy even to click over to ESPN.
Redshift
I voted! Dropped my absentee ballot off in the drop box at our county’s one early voting location (more will open October 14.) It was near closing time, and there was a decent line outside for in-person voting, though not the huge lines there have been earlier (though maybe those were earlier in the day.)

This is for anybody to answer: Apparently, in a Ohio early voting is only at the county BOE. I could’ve sworn that 5 or 6 years ago early voting was held in more than one location. Is that right?

I voted today, in the special election to fill John Lewis’s seat for the rest of the term. There will almost certainly be a runoff — 7 candidates on the ballot — and the winner will end up serving for about 30 days. What an waste of money. But I got a chance to try out the new voter check-in and voting machines. These print out a paper ballot that you can check and the ballot is scanned. They keep the paper ballots so that they could do a hand count if necessary. And the poll workers don’t have to touch your id. I like it!

I’ll have ot make the appointment prolly friday night. but once that’s on the way, i’m good and we’ll be voting early on Oct 20th or just after. That’s our basic plan, and if absolutely need be, we can vote in person on Nov 3rd. We’re both young enough and prepared with masks and whatnot to do so. Having to get a new birth certificate was the most harrowing thing because waiting on it to ship took FOREVER. Almost a solid month for them to track the damned thing down too.

@Goku (Amerikan Baka): In Ohio they have really cut down on the number of voting places on election day, and they keep moving them around. My parents voted for forty years at the same elementary school on the next block from their house. Since 2010 the election day voting spot has changed every two years and is usually at least 4 miles away in unfamiliar neighborhoods. Same for me. My husband has lived in our same neighborhood for 35 years, and voted at the same church about a mile up the hill until 2010, when voting spot changed every two years to a spot miles away in an unfamiliar neighborhood.
On a more cheerful note, when I absentee voted in college in 1972 I had to get my signatue notarized on the ballot envelope. Don’t need to do that any more.

So we have our first COVID case on campus. Ten students quarantined from contact tracing. Which gives me some faith in the random testing and contact tracing the university is doing. At our small campus, that’s a big hole in the student body on campus. Due to so many classes being online or hybrid, student traffic on campus is sparse, so it will be noticed because only a few were commuters. Most of them lived in on campus housing. Could be worse, I guess. Our Altoona and University Park (what everyone calls main campus) campuses are spiking. And it is probably related because Altoona is so close to State College that students at both campuses are always going back and forth for parties and others events. Cross pollinating, if you will.

Marcia Fudge lives in Warrensville Heights up on Lake Erie 35 miles away. Tim Ryan lives in Warren on the PA border also 35 miles away. We are the fifth largest city in the state yet our Congresscritters don’t live here.
Otherwise they have been good reps. ( Marcia better than Tim.) He has really cleaned up his act since Pelosi politely handed him his head on a platter during impeachment. Also too he married a teacher and has tiny kids now, so gun violence in schools and the Covid mess are real to him now.
