Voted in MD this AM. Pretty quick, and a little line.
Voted for Clinton.
Prediction: Clinton 306 to Trump's 231. He wins Ohio and Iowa, but loses all the other swing states. But, he refuses to concede and say Hilliary won and puts up lawsuits in North Carolina/ Nevada.
The Senate flips as it is a 50-50 tie, and the Ds make some gains in the House, but not much.

Crown is pretty shit. She will be drinking champagne and you can take that to the bank.

I went and tried to vote; lines were absurdly long here. I'll go later in the day.

Virginia is pretty much a lock for Clinton.

I'm out of the country, so went to do early voting in Chicago last Thursday. Fucking lady never once asked me for an ID lol I even told her that's why chicago is so corrupt, you can show up to vote and not have an ID. She got all pissy with me but I don't care. Ask for ID it's not hard.

DC is the same way. No one cares about your ID; just need to say your name.

Never got ID'd either and was curious....


If you've voted in New York before, you don&#8217;t need to provide ID to vote in person


If you&#8217;re voting for the first time in New York, submitted your registration by mail, and didn&#8217;t provide a copy of your New York driver&#8217;s license, state ID card, or a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or government document that shows your name and address when you registered, you may need to show one of these documents when you vote in person on Election Day.

There was no line at my precinct and I was in and out in about 7 minutes. I was the 35th person to cast my ballot. The only reason there is ever a line is because the old biddies there have no idea what they are doing and are slow af. They do ask for ID every single time I vote.

Also, I think Hill Dawg wins. My prediction hasn't changed from the moment Trump won the nomination.

Also, also...I would vote for Paul Ryan in a heartbeat.

As a simple reminder, remember that today we are merely casting a vote for consideration by our electors whom pledge to support the presidential candidate we support. The Electoral College will holds it's vote the Monday after the second Wednesday in December following today's election.

Line was a little long but took about 25 minutes for me. I was actually ID'd twice fucking Alabama. I voted for Gary Johnson. I couldn't vote for any of the others. I thought about writing in Nick Saban just for the lulz.

FWIW....

Several Republican insiders are saying their GOTV operations for today are "insufficient"

About 7 or 8 people in line, about 20 minutes.

Now for the results. If your candidate loses, it's because your candidate sucks. If your candidate wins, but you think it shouldn't have even been close, it's because your candidate sucks.

STFU Gibby. Didn't you say you were going to stop posting? Whatever happened to that brilliant idea?
