[Jacks]

Well the bright side is it's a nailbiter. I was expecting to be catching up on episodes of Shameless by now.

Clearly you don't understand how polling works.

Gee, I wonder why blacks don't vote.

But they made the effort for Obama twice. Why not for Hillary?

[Manhattanboy]

John King very impressive.

Sherriff Joe lost? If so, I guess that's one positive.

Yeah, answering a poll question is a lot easier than that.

Yeah its ridiculous. What a broken country.

What the motivation for this and whose driving it?

It's what it's always about, division. Divide and conquer, order out of chaos. The societal climate seems just about perfect for this particular election to go down the way it has..... Almost too perfect.

Yeah I really do think a two party system is rigged, either way they get their candidate. I've always been a bit suspicious of electronic voting just on principle, but seems hard to prove either way.

From 10-15 points down? He didn't have anything resembling a chance.

I can't wait for Hillary's speech tonight. Even if she manages to win her speech will be full of disappointment.

Because in 2014 the SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, which made it easy for GOP-led states to make voting much, much harder for minorities.

Oregon votes by mail? Wtf?

2013 the voting rights act was over turned resulting in the states not needing federal court approval to change election laws. In NC they effectively surpressed the vote.

To be fair, that's what we were all saying about Trump coming in.

[puckedoff]

House, Senate and the Chief. God bless America. The world is screwed.

Pot calling kettle black? We voted in Captain Selfie.
