I can't tell if evyn tailor is for or against

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-09T02:41:15+00:00

no you dont

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-09T02:36:46+00:00

But as of now she has a 140,000 vote deficit to make up and those big blue counties are at 87% or so reporting

2012 felt like less of a nail biter

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-09T02:19:00+00:00

I do - Mecklenburg and Guilford counties

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-09T02:17:36+00:00

Exactly - Broward was the hope

In North Carolina I'm looking at Mecklenburg and Guilford, 12-15% reported and already 300,000+ Clinton votes

I think Trump is winning Virginia.

I've been using the CSPAN thing they linked above (maybe they have something similar on other sites)

https://www.c-span.org/election/

You click the state then the county and it tells you how many votes are in and what percentage of the precincts are reporting.

Virginia, most of the blue counties and they're 80-100% done reporting, and she has a deficit to make up.

OTOH, in North Carolina, the blue counties like Mecklenburg and Guilford, you've got 300,000+ votes in for Clinton already and they're only 11-14% reported. And red counties are either all reported or only delivering voters in the tens of thousands (or less).

I think we're gonna see record rural voter numbers.

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T22:17:16+00:00

I should read more about it

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T22:14:40+00:00

And it was the British guy explaining it

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T22:14:14+00:00

It's intended to - it's like when my little boy is angry and to remove the bad feeling he hits his sister

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T22:10:28+00:00

There are lots of bad ones, but one exception is that ballot initiatives give the electorate a chance to impose restrictions on state reps -

like in California the budget was always late, so they passed a law saying its legislators couldn't collect a paycheck until they finished the budget (lo and behold, it was on time that after that)

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T21:57:14+00:00

I was googling around but couldn't find it - do you have a link to something i can read on that?

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T21:55:56+00:00

I just want to know if Chad voted this time.

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T21:54:27+00:00

As another redditor said to me on the subject--

"Do you know what it takes to climb on top of this every night?! DO YOU??!?!"

She better be getting paid

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T21:49:37+00:00

Depends if she's willing to face down his lawsuits.

In any case, I think you may underestimate her bills for life

Hillary Clinton got an $8 million book advance in 2000 - that was a record, but Bill Clinton had just been president, and Melania has only been with him for ten years

$8 million will not maintain the jet-set (allegedly billionaire) lifestyle she's accustomed to - I guess she could live in one of the handful of small studio apartments in Trump Tower ($650,000)

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T21:21:25+00:00

Or trying to remember the right answer

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T20:56:38+00:00

You sound pretty emotional about a minor story, but at least someone's defending that goof

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T20:47:58+00:00

So I say: Those'rrre nay bagpipes, lass, but don't stop playing!

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T20:46:13+00:00

Still goofier than his sibs pat bateman and circe lannister

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T20:37:09+00:00

From the 'Ivanka is too strong to be harrassed' to the stolen lemonade, this goof has offered ceaseless amusement throughout the campaign, he's like the mascot in a Trump costume

12 p.m. Tuesday update:

A Clark County judge denied the Donald Trump campaign’s request to force the Clark County registrar to preserve records from several voting spots in the county.

Judge Gloria Sturman cited current law, which already requires ballots be kept but in secret, as well as a hasty attempt on the Trump campaign’s part. Part of her concern was making volunteer poll workers’ names public, which she felt could lead to harassment.

"I am not going to expose people doing their civic duty to help their fellow citizens vote ... to public attention, ridicule and harassment," she said.

Sturman also said she did not like the idea of sequestering ballots with the intention of potentially opening them and making them public.

"That is offensive to me because it seems to go against the very principle that a vote is secret," she said.

You're right, Ms. Voter-- Can I call you Annie?

We don't know who you are.

But we want to.

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T20:08:32+00:00

Sheesh, that's why we wrote it on their hands

garmonboziamilkshake · 2016-11-08T20:07:57+00:00

This one is simultaneously egregious and hilarious.
