The apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Looks like the Trump men don't trust their wives too much.

Edit: Why do they have those horrible voting box things? My place always has a secure little box on a desk with a roof and everything on it. Ain't no one spying on my vote unless they come up behind me.

Though, I agree, try to avoid focusing on any one voice. Get multiple sources with multiple points of view and make your own mind up.

Can i ask you something? It is common for the voting system to stop working? I have a bad feeling about this.

Yeah... Now Trumph saying he got reports everyvere from the states votes given to republicans, changing into vote to the democrats.

One question! Proofs? Any of it, like a snapsot from your phone?
And one remark. He lied and taked too much nonsese to be taken seriously.
Plus! If clinton wins given by th estimations, that can be hardly called a cheating.

To whom, an how? because electronics systems can easily manipulated, if you know how? But coming from trumph? I think the truth given by everthing he did and happened around him, very likely the opposite.

Regarding the voting machines and whatnot - it varies from state to state/county to county. Some states use older electronic systems, some newer. Hell, there's a tiny, and I mean tiny, community in New Hampshire, called Dixville Notch, that uses paper ballets which are counted by hand.

Stuff like this tends to happen every election (claims of votes changing, or some kind of voter fraud), but the tension around it this time is higher, for obvious reasons. Sometimes it's true, sometimes it's not.

Dixville Notch is interesting, by the way. If you're at all interested in the American voting process I'd urge you to check it out.

"Dixville Notch is best known in connection with its longstanding middle-of-the-night vote in the U.S. presidential election, including during the New Hampshire primary (the first primary election in the U.S. presidential nomination process). In a tradition that started in the 1960 election, all the eligible voters in Dixville Notch gather at midnight in the ballroom of The Balsams [a resort hotel in Dixville Notch]. The voters cast their ballots and the polls officially are closed when one-hundred percent of the registered voters have voted, sometimes one minute later. The results of the Dixville Notch vote in both the New Hampshire primary and the general election are traditionally broadcast around the country immediately afterwards."

Yeah I saw. The dude in my picture is Donald's son, Eric Trump, checking on his wife's vote.

That is incredibly effed up. Is this really what passes for a secret ballot in the US? It's one of the most shocking and upsetting things in the election, and apparently it's not even considered an issue worthy of mention.

Voting has to be absolutely private. We have booths here, built out of wood for the purpose. Even the possibility of somebody seeing how you vote would be a scandal.

I really hope they get to vote. Seems silly parhaps, as one person is dead and others wounded, but I'd really hate to see this *expletive* succeed in what he is trying to do.

No, it's not silly. Voting in the face of this is one of the strongest things someone can do to ensure voting's sanctity.

On a better note, I'm glad this happened: Nevada judge denies Trump request; warns about Twitter trolls

^ Also pertains to Hispanic/Latino voters.

On the Eve of this crazy time, I give everyone a little link so you can see the data sheet as AP updates it.

Take this link

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/.../pres/PA.html?SITE=WTOPFMELN&SECTION=POLITICS

And change 'PA' for whatever state you want. If you wish, you can exclude the ?* after your first visit (need to set a cookie).

Many interesting things points can be made by the layout of results for districts. Try CA if you want to see a winner declared with 0% of San Francisco reporting.
Although in the scheme of a state with 38 million people, and ~3 millions votes counted so far, I guess the smallish 800K-7M possible other votes will just follow the trend.
Take a peek at VA, to see that Clinton pretty much won on the basis of 2-3 super districts close to DC. The vast majority of the land population, maybe 70% was pro-Trump.

What an intense time, I can't wait to watch more media barfing and back-stabbing in the days to come. And maybe someone will actually go jail or heaven forbid 'Stop the War'.

Even if Red wins, there's still the chance of 'mainstream/establishment' continuing as usual.

And here near the witching hour, we can view this map, which you may think, 'ha, Red is crushing', but don't because somehow, it's still 'too close to call'.
The EC and math at work. All the little blue squares to the right mean a lot.
