Election 2016

[Hatfield]

Will we get numbers on voter turn out?

Do you guys do that?

Washington Post says 41,000,000 have already cast and we should be beyond 2012's EV total of 46,000,000 after today.

2008 total: 131,000,000

2012 total: 129,000,000

Interesting article about how the Supreme Courts decision in Shelby County v. Holder (where they took out a clause in the voting rights act: Roberts justified it by saying, "our country has changed") has effected the nation and it's citizens. There were 868 less early voting sites this year in the 14 historically prejudiced states, that no longer have to clear their voting changes with the Justice Department.

Cool thanks.

What about these militia groups saying 'there will be bloodshed if she is elected'.

There's hundreds of them all over the US apparently. Is that being taken seriously?

Early indicators saying it's looking good for her.

No one other than the SPLC takes them seriously. Based on the Bundy standoff, a quarter of any given militia consists of Federal informants or under cover FBI agents.

These ain't the provos, dime.

[dimejinky99]

Clearly not. They're appearing on tv in ads im told. Scary stuff.

[dimejinky99]

Stuff like this is trouble brewing.

This was a solid post, lenny

what would the deplorable militiamen attack? a starbucks?

yes, i can see them getting all teenage angsty, and loading up their guns... but to do what?

oh right go and shoot minorities, my bad

yes that would be sad

[96583UP]

but seriously I would love to see one of these militias of lumpy grey former piperiggers actually start shooting so that the US could deploy marines or something and just wax them all

just a bunch of columbine shooters that band together

pussies

A person on the news just said the Sun will come tomorrow no matter which candidate wins... anyone got a link to back this up?

Predictions:

Hillary Wins

Trump does not concede

[BurtReynolds]

I don't think it matters if he concedes. Republicans forget he exists on Wednesday, and Republican voters haven't been kind to election losers lately.

[96583UP]

trump will not concede, but will fall short of openly contesting the results

trump lacks the willpower or financial resources to pursue the non-concession any further other than making a stink about it in the press in order to continue to promo himself for his next career endeavor

over the course of a couple weeks, the noise will just fizzle out

then begin the reports / investigations of his misuse of campaign donations

then erik announces that he self-identifies as a black jewish woman

and then the donald will disown him

Texas early voting:

4,500,000 compared to 3,400,000 in 2012. Hope that bodes well for Clinton.
