You guys paid for the counties who simply didn’t have enough money in their Democratic Party bank accounts to pay for getting ballots by mail to their over age 65 Democrats.  

Glen reports —

I just love old people. Well, people older than me, cuz, I too am old. Just know that when you mail hundreds of thousands of mail ballot applications and you put a “call this number if you have questions” message on it that rings to your cell phone, you invite a hell of a lot of calls. Some funny, some heart tugging, some mean ass Republicans who want to know how the hell they got on a Democratic list (it’s because they look like Democrats in the voter list), and so on.

Almost 1000 calls into this, I’m wearing thin (not in the good way). But I’ve done by hand about 400 applications this week while trying to understand all kinds of accents, diction, and mumbling. Of course the problems and questions are rarely easy or else they would have figured out the answer, ie “I just moved from Midland to Wichita Falls, am not registered in WF yet, how can I vote by mail”. Now the first answer is “If you were moving from Midland, why in hell would you pick Wichita Falls?”

Best one to date: “First, let me tell you I’m 97 years old. So I might not remember what I asked you by the time you answer, so bear with me.”

Best news: the return rate is the highest our mail vendor has ever seen in all the campaigns they’ve ever done. And that, my Democratic friends, is awesome.

Indeed it is.  Thank you, customers and thank you, Mean Ole Glen.
