I think he's prepping one against the Elections Secretary in Broward county who got busted filling out absentee ballots...although that one seems legit on the surface.

Agreed. That, and after all the years of people bitching about elections being called before the polls close, publishing early vote results prior to the polls closing seems just as egregious.

Yup.

If I read correctly....they use early vote numbers and exit polling

Gloria Ferrar? Asti?
Probably Cristal or Dom. Rich people have been drinking both as of late with Cristal being more 'trendy' and Dom being more marketed as 'The best'.

Guessing Hillary will sport the Dom. Ace of Spade would be a nice wildcard.

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.
This is a "take with grain of salt" deal because it's a second-hand anecdote, but while being bored and scrolling through 538's Live Blog, I found this tidbit about some place in Chicago today. It's by Julia Azari at 1:08 p.m. for reference.
A friend in Chicago reports some pretty disturbing events from the polls this morning. She’s African-American and her husband is white, and they had pretty different experiences at their voting location. She was asked for a photo ID; he wasn’t. She only received part of her ballot at first, and they gave her the other half after she’d already started filling out the first part. Her husband also reported that the only other white voter in line, a man wearing a suit, was invited to cut in line because he was clearly “in a hurry.” (The man declined.) I have no idea if this is representative of what’s happening elsewhere, but it’s not encouraging.

I was listening to the radio at lunch and heard Karl Rove say he's hearing the networks may call Florida when polls close
He's part of the establishment. And I enjoyed it immensely when they had to walk it back in '00.


No doubt the left-wing media will call as many states as possible for Clinton at 7 pm, to stake her out to a massive lead in order to fit their narrative and attempt to suppress Trump voters out west. As though we all don't know that is coming; they are so phony and predictable. And then, hopefully, as the night wears on, we begin to see that shit-eaten grin on their face as they realize the election may be slipping away from them. That will be priceless.

If that is a true account it is disturbing.

As priceless as tomorrow will be when you start your next four years of crying about the fixed system, voter fraud and everything imaginable except for how flawed the R party currently is?

The option for straight party voting should be done away with.

I voted the old school method, fill in the dot then scanned. Zero issues. Hope this helps.

Is there some thing you press that does that? If so, i have never seen or noticed it. I think that option should be taken away, if taht indeed is possible to do.

Real shocker there. Illinois is the most corrupt state in America.

If not for Chicago, it'd be the worst state in the US. It'd basically be Indiana.

Newest Update (estimation) have Hillary up 271,741 votes in Florida and almost 56,000 in Ohio
Probably because most of Trump's supporters (white, uneducated, racist males) are still at work.





























I kid!
