Everything I'm hearing is he's in BIG trouble... but the fog of war right now is thicker than ever. Take every report with a grain of salt. What I worry about is that MSM outlets will report "outcomes" that aren't the actual outcomes in some instances to delegitimize actual results, and throw everything into a tailspin. It won't matter what happens afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't matter what happens afterwards. It's possible. If the races are as close as being reported (in battleground spots where the Ds had +5 going in), a lot of them could be decided by a point or less. That means recounts, and the possibility the House remains in flux for a few days - if not a week as it's all sorted. It could get messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 It would make losing the House more palatable if Mendez were to get thrown out on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Ok, have not yet read this thread (I'm almost afraid to)... from my little corner of Erie County... Hubby and I went to the polling place at 10 am. We were numbered in the 220s. I overhead people saying that there was a line at the door when they arrived for duty at 6 am. There was definitely a line when we arrived, a line while we filled out our circles and a line as we walked out. Average voting age? I'd guess about 95. ? I asked Hubby how his first voting experience was. He basically said that it was fine, he wished he knew more about the candidates, but he was so pissed at the stupidity the Ds were pulling he voted straight R. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for the (totally expected) flip of the House for the parade of NPCs to flood in here with their puffed up bravado. They’re currently cowered in fetal positions though, consumed by fears they won’t get a chance to come here and pontificate on how righteous they are. It’s so predictable.

In 2016 the first place I saw a Trump sign out in the open was in St John's county (over the bridge heading into St Augustine from our beach condo). St. Augustine may be artsy-fartsy, but it is pretty old, retired, and red. Heading up to Duval is pretty rural/suburban-ish (even in Jacksonville, which is geographically enormous). Ponte Vedra is wealthy. I never saw a D sign there. Ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I don't want election volunteers denying people voting rights . What am I missing? The issue with the poll workers is knowing they're not citizens and encouraging them to vote anyway. And admitting they know a lot of non citizens vote early, and they're cool with it. There was no boyfriend waiting in the car, I'm sure the hidden camera lady was making that up to entrap the poll worker (which is shady AF... but so too is election fraud). But you're right, you don't want poll workers denying the vote - which is why the real issue is with the registration of people by the DNC whom they know are not legal (or alive sometimes). Without getting into litigating the DACA issue itself (of which I'm for giving them citizenship for the most part), the reality is they can't vote. But they're given social security cards and driver's licenses in part to make it easy for the DNC to get them to vote anyway. Many are encouraged to think they can vote, and don't even know they're doing anything fraudulent when they do. To add to why this is strategy for the DNC: Edited November 6, 2018 by Deranged Rhino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
