Didn’t register in time to send a paper ballot to your state’s Super Tuesday primary? Take heart — January 31 is the final day to register for online voting in the Global Presidential Primary through Democrats Abroad. (It will still be possible to vote by mail or fax or even in person — in select cities on certain dates only — after today; however, internet voting is likely to be the easiest way for you to participate, especially if you live in a country without a DA chapter or don’t live in the capital of your country of residence.) Signing up takes only a few minutes of your time and ensures that your voice will be heard via 11 delegates at the national convention!
You can find more details here, and begin the registration process here. Be sure that you check the YES box next to “Do you want to participate in the Global Democratic Presidential Primary?” and fill in the necessary details in order to qualify for internet voting. Exercise your civil rights and vote!
[Note: Republicans don’t seem to have anything similar, otherwise I would gladly share that information here as well. If you’re a Republican and wish you were enfranchised, send the Republicans Abroad a message!]
The competition provides teams of four snow artists with large blocks of packed artificial snow; they then have five days to carve their masterpieces, using only hand tools. While the competition ends today with prizes awarded tomorrow, the sculptures will be on display in Breckenridge, Colorado, until February 4 (weather permitting). There are also ice sculptures on display for each of the event’s sponsors. The city is even providing free parking in certain areas and free public transportation to the display during this time.
