election day turnout

Margaret and I just cycled to Kings Mill Precinct polling place. At 9:30 AM we were voters 35 and 36. No one was there passing out campaign literature. Historically this precinct has one of the highest turn out rates. We offered our IDs but it turns out you don't have to show IDs to vote until 2020.

A neighbor shared some info on the Chapel Hill Carrboro School Board Election.

   1.  Two school board candidates have withdrawn (Tortola and Huerta-Bapat); therefore only five are now running for four seats. 

    2.  Here you can watch informative short video intros for each of them:

She has worked on a number of environmental Issues. Michael Parker is an incumbent. I frequently saw him at the Moral Mondays marches in Raleigh. Amy Ryan has served on a number of town boards. Sue Hunter has been an advocate against domestic violence. Tai Huynh is a student at UNC and owner of a small startup in Chapel Hill.

Rep. Price and impeachement

I just received this announcement from David Price. Did anyone else?

I believe that the House of Representatives must move forward with an impeachment inquiry regarding the conduct of President Donald Trump.

This will build upon the investigations of the President’s grave offenses already underway, giving these inquiries focus and the maximum ability to obtain information in the face of the president’s stonewalling and resistance.
