I used my current name on Discussionist for a while and grew to like it. My hobby is election law and I have been active in voter protection efforts for a very long time

There was an amnesty after the 2008 election, so silly me - I thought they'd do it in '12. So I quit my old name after 10000 posts. I wanna tell you - starting from post 0 is not all it is cracked up to be.
I like LetMyPeopleVote. We will need, I suspect, to spend much of the run up to 2022 instructing people on how to play the game by the new rules.
