Speaker 1 (00:00):
I early voted today, got any questions, you know, what,
what does that look like? You early vote? I assume
it's just like regular voting. Yeah, I'm sure it works
the exact same. Now again, I have to reiterate, Tomorrow
is the last day for you to register. So if
you haven't registered to vote, you're not going to be
able to vote in this election if you don't do
that by tomorrow. Right, So, if you have any questions
(00:20):
whether or not you had that, I don't want to
tell you that you should just go vote early if
that's not something you're interested in. But I wouldn't risk
not being registered and showing up to vote on election
day and then them telling you like, hey, like sorry,
but we've been trying to register people for the last
like three months to vote and you're not in our database.
(00:40):
You should know your status of that. It turned out
I actually was still registered to vote properly. I just
was unsure, which is one of the main reasons I
wanted to vote early ahead of tomorrow, and I figured
tomorrow being the deadline for people needing to register, I
didn't want to show up tomorrow. But if you can
give yourself two two and a half maybe even three
hours go to the Douglas County Election Commission office. It's
(01:03):
an easy process. They explain everything to you. If you
have any questions about the security of the election, you
shouldn't not in Nebraska, at least not the way they're
doing it. I mean, you can request like the mail
in ballot situation thing, but you need to like give
them some legitimate ID. And when you go and get
the ballot, you need the IDs. So I give them
(01:25):
my driver's license. There's a lot of different forms of
IDs that work. There's a bunch that don't work, and
they have those on the list too. With photos in
the office. You go there, when you get up to
the thing to the booth, they double check your ID.
They double check and make sure that you're registered to vote.
If you're not registered to voting, they'll help you with that.
And you can do that online as well, which if
(01:49):
you go to the website, you can like fill it out.
You won't get your election card. It still would be
something that you know they would have in a database,
but the website is you're able to at least see
what those questions are so you can get registered to
vote and basically like endgame with that is anybody who
had any questions, they can answer them for you. They
(02:11):
are trained, they have information. Those poll workers know what
they're doing. There were some people that had some additional questions.
Have to have a legitimate current address. There was a
guy who forgot his current address and his ID address
did not match his current address, so he had to
step outside and call somebody to get his address confirmed.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
They confirmed that. And then there was.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Another little thing that I noticed outside, a little thing
called electioneering. Have you heard of this? Is that like musketeering,
maybe racketeering. I'm sure that sounds a lot bad. That
sounds bad, That sounds like something you shouldn't be able
to do. Engineering, Yeah, it's like engineering. Engineering is pretty
good if you're engineering and racketeering. But with elections, yeah,
(02:55):
it's electioneering. So electioneering is you cannot be stumping or
trying to coerce people into voting specific ways at the
polling place. There's a sign that says the rule, and
this is the rule pretty much anywhere. You cannot be
actively campaigning within two hundred feet of the election commission office.
(03:18):
So you can't show up to vote wearing a bunch
of Kamala Harris gear or Donald Trump gear. You can't
show up to vote wearing a Tony Vargas T shirt,
you know, stuff like that. No pins, like, none of
that stuff. This is a thing that is very They
take that very seriously. And when I was in line,
there was a young looking woman and she was far
(03:40):
enough away I couldn't really tell, but she showed up
and she was wearing Oliver Trump gear. She had to
make America Great Again hat on, she had a Donald
Trump shirt on, she had an American flag like fanny pack. Like,
I mean, this woman's entire identity is supporting Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Did she have the shoes? I didn't pay attention.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
It was just trying to distract myself while I was
standing line. And she was standing not definitely, not two
hundred feet away, like, definitely not. And she's just standing there,
Oh right, that's kind of she's in the parking lot,
just standing while people are in line.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Was she like staring people down?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Not? I don't know if she was staring people down
as but she was just standing and making sure people
knew who like saw her. She was basically like a
standing billboard for Trump. Definitely not two hundred feet away,
and somebody I don't know whom but grabbed one of
the workers from inside the building and told them, hey,
she's electioneering. This is against Nebraska law and it is
(04:34):
and told her to back it up and told her
about where the line would be for her to be
compliant with the law. And she's yelling at the guy like,
oh is he crying about me standing here? Oh boo hoo.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I'm going I'm gonna walk really slow though.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I mean, like I'm hearing this and I'm just like, dude,
this is what people who are normal. This is why
they can't wait for this election to be over. I
don't and I don't see how that's did you you
convince anyone that day?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Well?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
This is why, you know, like the rallies of pro
Palestinian stuff or anti Israel stuff. Is just like she
stood there. She was there the entire time I was there,
pretty much. I mean, she probably spent at least an
hour hour and a half standing out there. I don't
know if she was still there when I left. I
was just trying to hurt and get back to my
car so I get here. But I mean, like, what
did she accomplish besides just feeling like she was coercing
(05:21):
people or trying to get to vote for her candidate,
Like what's the point of that. And there's a reason
that that's not legal. They don't want people to feel
like they are being pushed to vote a certain direction.
You're not even supposed to talk politics when you get
into that building, Like, no political chatter.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It's against the law.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You cannot be like influencing people's votes or coercing them
to vote for certain people based on conversations you're either
having in the moment. I mean, that's how you get
you create like real issues, right because then now you're
going to have people going back and forth, and now
you can get yourself into some real trouble because that's
I mean, that's game time. You're in there and you're
actually exercising your right to vote. And every state has
(06:01):
electioneering laws, so they take all of it seriously and
they are following the rules. If you had any issues
or wondering like how an election would be secure, every
step of the way, there were people that were making
sure that yes you are registered, Yes you have the
right information here, Yes you're an actual American citizen, and
of this jurisdiction, and yes, at the end of it,
(06:22):
they're like, everything looks to be in good order.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
They don't look at your ballot.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
They don't tell it like whatever you filled out on
the ballot, they'll figure that out when it's opened. But
you have to They seal the envelope before you, and
then they watch you put it in the dropbox and
you can take it home if you want in you
if you request that, and all that jazz and everything else.
But there are very specific instructions that have to be
completed if when they unseal those ballots that they are
(06:46):
going to count those ballots. It is actually a very
very secure process the way Nebraska does that. I was
impressed two forty nine. We'll come back more on the
way on news ready eleven to ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And raise longer.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I actuel like, if I was ever going to be
laid for something, voting is probably not a bad one, right.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, it was the buses full of those fellas and
orange jumpsuits that held you up. That's the misinformation I'm spreading.
They were like, move over, Hey, they don't say that
too loud. There will be people that believe you.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, So Brian sent me a link here and said,
you can actually verify your own voter registration. There's a
website voter lookup information, voter check dot NECVR dot ne
dot gov. Or I'm sure if you just go you know,
voter Registration Nebraska and you can find this list. But
(07:39):
appreciate Brian for that information, so you can check if
you're registered to vote. That way, if you want to
vote next week or on election day, you know that
you're registered and ready to go. So I do that
here in the next thirty six hours, but less than
that is like the next twenty four hours, so you
can make sure. And I think they closed the building
at like six o'clock. They are open on Saturdays from
(07:59):
nine to one. But you got to keep in mind
tomorrow's the last day to make sure that you have
legitimately registered to vote ahead of this election if you
want to take part in it. And they do not
color outside the lines on the rules, don't expect them to.
You wouldn't expect them to, considering what our questions are
about election legitimacy and all that jazz.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Hey, all right, three
Speaker 1 (08:18):
O'clock hour, we'll go behind enemy lines next on News
