Ah.

Well, clearly the ballot boxes need to be more concealed to prevent this, the boxes were asking for it. :arrow:

The NYPD are providing security around the perimeter of both locations (Trump's camp and Hillary's). Protestors and supporters of both candidates are expected to convene in the area later today.

it would be helpful if some of these trends were adjusted for the increase in voting population over that time, though

i realize there is an ungodly amount of americans who don't vote; so a couple million increase is not just population increase necessarily;

but the country is getting more populous every day... and it'd be helpful to know how many more first-time voting age people there are since 4 years ago

1.3 million new registered voters in Texas this year. Over 500,000 of those are Hispanic. Hillary winning Texas is a looong shot, but DT hurried up the change Texas has been aiming for. I think it's going to be within 2-3 points as compared to 16 points for Romney in 2012.

They are suing Joe P. Gloria, the Clark County registrar of voters, over a decision they allege he made to keep polling locations open “two hours beyond the designated closing time.” The lawsuit targets polling places in the greater Las Vegas area that have larger minority voting precincts.

Depends upon your state. As unaffiliated, I get to vote in the primaries (actually, I get to pick my ballot at the primaries), but in some states, unaffiliated get locked out of primaries.

This isn't a Trump thing it's a conservative/GOP thing. Why do you think they've been instituting voter ID laws over the last 8 years?

“I am not going to expose people doing their civic duty helping their fellow citizens vote, that they are taking their personal time to preserve … to public attention, ridicule, and harassment,” Sturman continued, before commanding Trump’s lawyer: “Thank you, sit down.”
