also, is it true that in some states it's possible to find out as a matter of public record, whether someone voted or not?

yeah in many rural areas here the poll workers are probably mostly or all Tories. I don't know how much difference that actually makes though in practice as the ballots often get sent somewhere central and all parties send monitors round to make sure the votes are being counted properly.
So eg a neighbour could find out if you voted or not? that doesn't sound particularly secret
Correct me if Im wrong but many places in NYC surely there wouldn't be gardens/yards because people would have apartments? A top floor apartment with a trump sign on its window would be hard to deface unless you had a drone or somethingI just think that they don't want to be challenged on it by their neighbours. People have a long memories about these things, and if they see a Trump sign in your yard you're going to be reminded of it years down the line.
I'm also convinced that not all Trump voters are kool aid Maga cult types. They know he's indefensible. Know that they can't actually convincingly excuse his bullshit and lack of character . . . but are going to vote for him anyway. They don't want to publically admit it or explain it.
and i imagine in some apartments if someone put a trump sign there, the other residents would have something to say about it? 
Again...republicans with a sense of shame?.......Im struggling here
Doesn't seem so outlandish. Washington, DC, is even more heavily Democrat. Over 90% in the last four elections.

i find that hard to believe as well given the number of arms industry representatives, lobbyists etc, that must end up living there?
They cross-check the number of ballot papers issued against the number in the locked ballot boxes so disappearing them is pretty impossible.

DC is an extreme example, but it's the pattern across the States. Even in so-called Red States in the South, you'll find big Democrat majorities in the cities and big Republican majorities in rural areas. And even in so-called Blue States, there are republican majorities in the rural areas. New York is a good example of that.
That god person should be done for repeated meddling
Yes, my boss is originally from upstate NY and apparently it's v Republican and v conservative. Which is a lot of the reason she moved to SF as soon as she could I think
I never knew that prosperity theology was that popular in the US although much of the culture is so focused on making money that I guess it makes sense.
I saw one being interviewed yesterday. He admitted who he was voting for, but actually called him out for the shit he is, basically admitting how awful he is. But Kamala's a socialist, so you know...........I just think that they don't want to be challenged on it by their neighbours.

. Why are these people so stupid? They all need lessons in politics. The thing gets in every possible term that he can when slagging off the Dems, even though they are opposites of each other, and none bear any resemblance to the truth.
ahemI'm trying to remember how the hanging chads thing played out. It went on for a couple of weeks through various courts and there were, I think, some 'orderly' street protests. This won't be orderly.
I saw a clip last night where the PA Secretary of State held a press conference directed at anyone thinking of interfering with the election. The theme was "Fuck around and Find out" -and he actually did say "Eff around and find out". He looked pretty pissed off doing the conference tbf. I don't think he's messing around either...
Considering how antithetical to the teachings of christ that prosperity gospel bullshit is, I'm surprised the regular churches have not denounced it as Heresy.
