BUT BUT BUT

Don’t get me started on Abrams/Kemp.

God this night is simultaneously encouraging as fuck (Kobach! Brat!) and depressing as fuck (DeSantis! Cruz!).

I’m feeling a lot of pain for Gillum’s unexpected loss, unexpected for all of the “experts” and pundits anyway.

Okay. Off to bed with me. Between this and Beto, I deserve a fucking medal for NOT DRINKING tonight.

Exactly. Winning the Senate would have the best of all possible outcomes since it would have stopped Trump from loading the courts, but it was extremely unlikely. Winning the House makes it possible to defend health care and stop his tax and budget plans.

For now I’ve settled on watching Casablanca on TCM. I least I know the movie fascists lose.

Kim Davis lost her re-election bid.

That sucks! I'm so sorry.

Not for nothing, but there were two hundred people who had voted at my Polling place.  When I voted for city council last year, there were 4.

With postage paid! Still wouldn't solve voter suppression, but it would be a good step.

Working as an election judge tonight in a liberal city in a blue state. Tonight feels busier than the presidential election.

All this is solved with Vote by Mail! We’ve had it here in Oregon for years and years. That should be the next movement in states without VBM. It solves the polling place problems and removes the threat of voting machine hacking because there are no voting machines to hack!

That one gets the BIGGEST “Ha!”

i hope we have finally arrived at the point where we stop blaming the candidates that the DNC trots out for losing. elections have never been fair and we’ve supressed votes since the dawn of our naton but we are facing open voter supression and they are ignoring the courts. if you don’t let the people vote and count…

Oooooh, the Cathedral from Bullitt.

If you’re reading this while waiting in line to vote, THANK YOU. Now click the link, report your line, and get some pizza!

Meanwhile in Nevada we’ve had early voting open for about two weeks (or more?). You can go to any vote center you want, regardless of precinct. There are 172 vote centers in Clark County alone. We have electronic voting machines that create a paper back-up. The machines require you to review and verify the *paper…

I was getting so pissed at the exaggeraters in line today. I walked in at 8:33. Guy ahead of me said it would be an hour wait to everyone that walked in. I walked out at 9:06 - and we had several proposals that I knew how I wanted to vote but I still read very carefully to make sure it wasn’t misleading so I took my…

I didn’t have to wait in line at my polling place, even at 7:45 AM. It was a lot more crowded than usual for midterms— usually it’s, like, me and 5 other people, this time all the voting carrels were full— but I breezed right in and out.
