It's a useful reminder that secret ballots remain secret, even from nosy spouses. But that doesn't explain why the original tweet from Howell went viral, racking up over 8.5 million views and 14,000 retweets.

From Lucian Truscott: It turns out that the dour, downcast approach of Republicans has a shelf-life, and it has reached its sell-by date. The other thing that has changed is that Trump has lost his natural-born ability to shock. The flat-out racism of his remarks to the Association of Black Journalists wasn’t shocking to the journalists themselves or to us. Everyone has had to listen to his racism for so long, it was a one-day story, and then the media moved on. But it’s where the media moved to that matters. Trump’s rants weren’t as interesting as Kamala Harris’ evident delight at the ebullient cheers at her rallies, her “joy,” as the press began calling it. [Read the rest](~/AASU4wA~/RgRonzeRP0RnaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvYWp6MXljczNxMy8_bGhfYWlkPTEyMjk1OSZsaF9jaWQ9dzJ2d3NndnYxdCZsaF9lbT10cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NSU0MGdtYWlsLmNvbVcDc3BjQgpmu5KyvGapzjeWUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~).
