Okay, so I've kind of identified "genres" of RI Democratic city & town committee logo design. First, there's the "D" design, which uses the national party's D logo from like 2010. Lincoln gets a special callout because they've used a different font.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Boston has again blocked key parts of the U.S. Postal Service plan for President Trump’s attempt to limit mail voting for the midterms. The judge says her new ruling dissolves her earlier ruling, which the Trump administration just asked Supreme Court to review

This seems to confirm that the USPS is totally unprepared and unqualified to take on this vast responsibility interjecting itself into state’s mail voting processes. And could incur liability if USPS truly plans to reject thousands of ballots if there’s even one error. wapo.st/4h23mQO

My latest @npr.org story: A whistleblower report says the U.S. Postal Service is rushing out an online system for President Trump’s push to restrict mail-in voting that could “derail” the midterm election if courts allow it to proceed. Key parts of USPS' plan are currently blocked by a court order

An anonymous federal official warned Congress that a rushed and insufficiently tested Postal Service system could prevent large numbers of Americans from receiving mail ballots this fall if courts approve President Trump’s plans for the midterm elections.

Unsurprisingly I knew one of the folks working at the polling place: like me, she’s a volunteer for the city’s Health Equity Zone. Anyway, the rolls of stickers besides the leftmost were apparently designed by Cranston high school students. This is the Ocean State after all so, that’s how I chose.
