Yeah my suggestion was to support the wall, put it all the way around and the world can pay for it, to keep people in.

Reports of missing registrations in North Carolina are coming into the Election Protection hotline from voters who tried to register through the state Department of Motor Vehicles.

Allison Riggs, senior attorney with the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, said the reports are coming in from throughout the state, but for now it is hard to judge the exact number. “It could be thousands, but probably not tens of thousands,” she said.

Voter suppression success!

It's so nice right now, it is funny that Canadians are more interested in this election than their own politics. I see a ton of my old friends on FB arguing as though they actually have a vote. SAD!

I think this election has the world stressed out. It's pretty important.

OUr elections have limited world and even local impact.

And its a complete sideshow. The rest of the world that takes its elections seriously is watching this and wondering if its sponsored by Coke...

You're telling me people are more interested in 74 car pileups than a random dude walking down the street with his hands in his pockets? Never....

I think one the meltdowns I'm most looking forward to is Piers Morgan's. He's been so far up Trump's ass it's pretty weird for a guy who identifies as a liberal. But I suppose he figures a Trump win means he'll be the exclusive UK journo who gets to talk to Trump, so career always trumps morals.

Minority voters are 6 times as likely as white voters to wait more than an hour to vote.

http://www.vox.com/identities/2016/1...ines-race-2016

I get that voting is a state level thing, but there are some laws that apply to voting across all states. There should be standards such as per-capita polling place requirements and wait time standards.

Remember when Stone suggested his NDA was void? Should be a fun book!

How else to you expect to keep your women in line? If it was just men voting, Trump would have this!

For anyone looking for a fix of data while waiting for polls to close, Slate's Votecastr is worth watching. (Combines early vote + polls + election day polling station observations) to attempt to produce real-time estimates of where things currently stand. Not sure how I trust it, but this is apparently the sort of methodology campaigns use to determine where they need to send GotV resources.

http://www.slate.com/votecastr_elect...t_tracker.html

Currently, they've got Clinton with sizeable (50K plus) leads in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida, while Iowa, Nevada, and N.H. are much closer.

As much as I'd love for this to be real, it looks photoshopped. His head looks much too big for his body, almost like Mr Mackey's.
