Depends on if your area is blue or red.

They're probably rooting for Trump so that they get to go "see??? We're not the only ones who fucked up politically this year!!"

Trump always says he's going to sue, and never does.
once your there......isn't it law to have to allow everyone to vote? I swear thats how it was here.....as long as you showed up by the poll time....you had the right to vote and it didn't matter how long it took. They took votes till everyone that showed up before the closing period was done.
I think it means both sides fervently want their side to win.
The voter turnout is a good thing, but the amount of hate behind it is unsettling.
Sorry for asking because I'm sure many have done so already but are any stations (ie. NBC, CNN, MSNBC, etc etc etc) live streaming the election? I live in Canada and my house faces North so I can't pick up any US stations over the air.
If anyone has any links it's probably a good thing to put in the OP

And the guy who introduced him at his rally that weekend in Reno said polling places were kept open just for "certain groups" and yelled to the crowd "Do you feel free right now?" The best part? That Cardenas wasn't even open the latest. The final early vote in Nevada was at 10:10pm in the lily white suburbs. This is purely for inciting racial hatred.
A lot of enthusiastic racists.
I have it open since yesterday!

Vote No. The way it is written, the money will only go to rich schools.

A vote is an instrument used to express your decision on an opinion. I decided to express my thanks(opinion) to senator Sanders by using my vote as the delivery instrument. Hillary's platform wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for Bernie.
With that being said, because we currently have a two-party system, and we're in a binary election, voting against Hillary would have been a vote for Trump (Republican platform). Not only that but I also said hell would freeze over before Trump won my state so your argument is a fallacy. Just as easily, I could have sat out this election. Would that be a vote against Bernie's results? No. The same holds true if I had voted for Micky Mouse.
I expressed my gratitude and what I did with my vote is not going against that.

The 24 hour news site will be talking about it all day. Most networks pick up coverage Starting at 7est. No clue if they'll stream online and without region locks though.

Yeah, you're right: the average Republican is young, tolerant, mixed-race and well-educated.
lol
If Hillary wins, I can finally stop thinking about the alt-right and can ignore them. I don't even want to see their meltdown, I just want to forget they exist.
Fellow NY voter! I would assume so, but just to be safe I'd go with Democrat anyway since that's the big one. Not sure what the intention of the multiple party choice is, but I assume there's a reason somewhere.

I don't think they are going away. It would be great if they did tho.
Good on you! Cheers.
Roanoke (City) went for Obama (60.1%) in 2012
Roanoke (County) went for Romney (61.7%) in 2012
So, that really does depend on which Roanoke you live in.
Factually speaking, 99% of them are exactly that. The ones voting for Trump, anyways.

Okay not all republicans are racists or sexist though. I voted hillary, but that doesnt mean its cool to disregard a group of people based on stereotypes (yes in this case i am reffering to republicans) just as its not cool for some of the more hardcore conservatives to do it to other groups of people, we really all need to stop hating eachother as much, thats what ive garnered from this election.

Basically there was a sign outside saying "no electioneering beyond this point" and up until right before that point it was plastered with signs for Hillary, Duckworth, and other Democratic candidates.
A large portion of Republican voters are single issue on abortion.
You guys need to stop with the same generalizations and stereotypes that you claim to hate so much.

Just ignore this guy. Unfortunately we have morons in the UK just like any other nation. I appreciate tensions are running high for you, but please don't tar all of us non-American people with the same brush.
Personally, my fingers are crossed for Hillary and I'm feeling fairly confident she'll clinch it. It terrifies me that Trump is in this position to begin with though. Populism is becoming a real problem in the West, and it's not going to disappear over night with a Trump defeat unfortunately.
How many hours until results start trickling in?

Reports of this scenario were happening in Perry County as well. Not too mention people were claiming the same thing in Texas during early voting.
Regardless which way the machines were incorrectly casting votes - there is no reason for the poll workers to not be more diligent in their efforts to make sure they were working properly.
Also, can anyone confirm if a default choice is selected when you step into the booth?
With the current Republican candidate being a blatant racist advicating racist policies, Republicans now have the chance to show they're not racist.

Good. People who try to bully you into voting a particular way instead of persuading you via civil discussion can go pound sand.
Voted for the first time.
It said "ID Required" next to my name on the electoral roll when I signed in but the lady didn't ask for my ID but she did ask for the ID of the black man behind me though.
I didn't sense anything malicious or suspicious about it, she was busy and active and I think some unconscious biases slipped through.

And you need to stop using the word "same" in this context, please.

Don't vote for the ballot initiative. It is a trick. The wording is something like do you want judges to be forced retired at 75, and you think "well yes". But in reality this INCREASES the age from 70. Serious shenanigans.

Count one white middle class male for Hillary. My wife too. I live in a small outer suburb that's like 95% white and couldn't help but think every business dressed guy I saw there was pro-Trump. Made me uncomfortable, really.
Yes, that's what I was wondering about.

The man they nominated to represent them is a racist and a sexist. That's on them. If they don't like it maybe they should start doing something about changing the perception instead of towing the party line like a bunch of cowards. You lay with dogs, you get fleas.

Fuck that. A vote for trump is a vote for racism and sexism. Not even a dog whistle.
It won't happen though. They'll rise again on the next polemic, or the next election. For sure with a new front face, with some adjustments to make their ideas more palatable, but they'll come back.
TrumpTV will back them all the way.
Maybe but at least I won't have to see them ruining the internet every other minute for a while.

You vote for Trump you don't get that benefit of the doubt. When has the Republican party "ever" given the people it demonizes the benefit of the doubt?

Except he's not. It's a complete fucking embarrassment he is where he is right now.
For many of us, there is no patriotic or party self-satisfaction guiding our outrage here - quite the contrary, it's more outrage that this country isn't taking this election seriously enough. If it did, a barely sentient wax museum animatronic with a twitter account would never even have made it as far as nominee.
Trump isn't a Republican, he isn't a Conservative, he's an opportunist and a charlatan, a snake oil salesman and a fraud, a failed businessman turned reality TV star, and a pathetically large percentage of our electorate can't tell the difference between someone who they recognize from TV and someone remotely qualified to be a statesman because they've lived a life so privileged, so coddled, or so isolated that they've not yet had to learn the difference.

I voted for the following:
I live in Illinois. There were some positions that only had one candidate running and they were all republicans, so I didn't vote for those. I don't want any republicans as state officials. I don't think it matters if I abstained from voting for those positions because regardless of how many votes they get, they'll most likely get the positions. That irritated me that there weren't democrats running for those positions.
