As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Alt National Park Service: After our last post, we’ve heard from people reporting voting machine issues in South Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee. We haven’t independently verified these accounts. We also read Stella Parton’s account of having to correct her selection before casting her ballot in Tennessee. 

If you experienced a problem, please share your firsthand account in the comments below.

URGENT: As you prepare to vote in your municipal elections, please don't skirt the SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEE elections, even if you don't have children.

Holy shit. This is bad.
