I don't know if that's actually true or not, but if it is I think it's horrendously sad that a single black man becoming President causes voters to behave in this manner.

I think it's true. I don't know if it'll get better under someone like Hillary, but whatever.
I'm kind of frustrated by low income voters not showing up to vote, resulting in them getting repeatedly fucked on top of that. But this is not new, so why piss into the wind? I can at least understand why they don't vote, unlike student shitheads.

We lost both houses of congress for all but two years under Clinton as well as tons of governorships and legislatures.
Hillary may be less threatening than Obama to some Republican voters, but in other ways she may be even worse.

Live results from Ohio:
https://vote.ohio.gov/
Still very early with a lot of precincts left to report, especially in the urban counties, but Issue 1 is winning in a landslide and Issue 3 is losing nearly 2-to-1.

This could be a secret huge win of the night. Winning 3/3 would guarantee good redirecting in 2020

Hot damn. With 40% reporting, our Dem mayoral candidate is only losing by 10%. That's a great result for us. Seriously. Not being snarky.
Not going to lie, as a black man, this thought crossed my mind right now and I feel just plain bad right now

That's good. I mean considering that you had to advertise with freaking pamphlets while the other guy had tv ads.

Excellent, glad to see my vote didn't go to waste. Issue 3 is basically the worst way I can think of going about the legalization issue.

I'm confused what Issue 3 is about, is it just a really shit wording for Legalization of Marijuana?
I think so. I am confused, too.

Enjoy your forthcoming "Right to Work" state, Kentucky!
It legalizes marjuana but creates a cartel of 10 people who are the only ones who can sell it.
Good on issue 1 so far. Some article on the Nation said that this amendment going through could have huge repercussions.
In ***2015***.
How long are these judicial terms?

As in, only 10 people who can sell to consumers? Or 10 people that can grow it and distributors buy from them? Because the former sounds horrible and the latter is decent.
I mean, to be fair though. In many of those cases the mayors can get policy done that affects more people.
10 years.
Makes me want to cry, honestly. The only solace I can take is that the opponents are on the wrong side of history, human decency and morality.

On paper it's a really great approach to redistricting. So I'm very excited about it.
There are already tentative plans in place to get an initiative on the ballot next year to extend it to Congressional maps. So really, really good news.
I don't think this outcome is really all that surprising given where D & R votes tend to come from anyway.

She is well connected. I find it mind boggling that they can lose everything except the Presidency and people still have faith in the party leadership. 2014's "Nobody here likes Obama either!" Strategy might have been the worst thing I've ever seen.

Democrat Governors Association is blaming the Conway loss in Kentucky to the "unexpected headwinds of Trump-mania."

The fear mongering worked despite the current front runner and every candidate besides 1 for the mayoral seat coming out in complete favor of it. I read that the churches in the city consistently told members to vote against it it's sad as shit.
it's sad as shit.Ooh, yeah that's pretty important then.
I was kinda bummed out to find out that this only effects legislative lines on a state level only. :/
edit: I just checked Ohio's legislature numbers, and holy fuck. You'd think this was fucking Alabama or something with the level of control Republicans have. Jesus Christ...

I miss Dean too but I think we need fresh leadership.
Is there anyone that could actually handle the task? Tim Kaine sure as hell couldn't.

Martin O'Malley after he fails in the 2016 primaries?
Wasn't the Civil Rights Act repealed or overruled in the last 2 years?

Legal marijuana is dead as can be in Ohio.
It was a blowout.

That's what happens when you put a shitty plan on the ballot that not even pro-legalization people can uniformly get behind.
We need whoever the fuck is best at getting Dems elected. And so far, Dean has shown he did an infinitely better job than DWS.
Opposition party almost always wins seats relative to incumbent president's party.

I live in Richland County.
Shitty election results and a break up. Today's been awesome for me.
Glad to see Issue 3 fail, though. I'm 100% for legalization for recreational use. I was not for that ridiculous amendment. I don't even have pot to get me through the night. Hahaha.
: single emo tear :
DWS needs to go, though. Woman's been a nightmare.

Was today the final evidence that the GOP cares more about imaginary, hypothetical rape than actual rape?
