Go Vote!


GO VOTE!….I believe I shall take my quadrennial morning constitutional and perform my civic duty now. Back in a bit.

TRIP REPORT: The weather was fine here in Irvine. The line at Springbrook Elementary School was zero people long. Total wait time was approximately 90 seconds. I was assigned voter number 5797. The electronic voting machine was properly programmed and easy to use. Paper ballots were available for anyone who preferred them. The audit trail on the voting machine correctly recorded my votes.

That is all.

THANK YOU.

We recently wrapped up the crowdfunding campaign for our ambitious Mother Jones Corruption Project, and it was a smashing success. About 10,364 readers pitched in with donations averaging $45, and together they contributed about $467,374 toward our $500,000 goal.

That's amazing. We still have donations from letters we sent in the mail coming back to us, so we're on pace to hit—if not exceed—that goal. Thank you so much. We'll keep you posted here as the project ramps up, and you can join the hundreds of readers who have alerted us to corruption to dig into.
