Honestly I'd say this is a good thing. Pushes potential Clinton undecideds aka Bernie or Busters who are waning, NeverTrumpers and everyone in between to actually show up at the polls. Also gives Clinton supporters an extra push.

Actually Dems should push redistricting anytime they flip a state House/Senate. TX did it mid term. Nothing against it and the courts also do it.

At least they are making it entertaining. Coverage was getting stale.
Or, it actually is tightening up, which I thought would happen, really. The last debate being 3 weeks from election day I always thought would hurt Hillary, because she goes off into hiding and people don't see her, which has a tone in the air. Probably not enough to swing it, but it does effect a little.
Though, I wouldn't doubt they have something that will get out next week that will ramp up the hate on trump even more.
And the first thing I see on Facebook is this dumb shit:
We're seeing more and more 1st hand reports and video on FB of electronic voting machines defaulting to the Democrat Candidate after the Republican Candidate was selected in early voting states. Here's one reason why this might be happening:
In 2010, Dominion Voting Machines (Canada) bought the rights to own voting machines in 22 different states. This company is also a big-time donor to the Clinton Foundation. Around the same time Hillary was set to retire as Secretary of State to focus on her campaign, this company purchased around half the voting machines in this country. But thats not all. One of the owners of Dominion Voting is George Soros.
Avoid casting your one and only vote for the opposition by requesting a PAPER BALLOT! It is the law that all precincts/polls must honor your request.

It's pretty amazing seeing a presidential candidate of a major party tweeting about the dumb "machine changing votes" posts you always see on Facebook around election time. Even more amazing that he's saying Texas or all states is rigging the election for Hillary.

Caught wind of this yesterday. Has anyone actually seen this happen? I've seen a bunch of online posts about it and it's always "My relative's friend's relative's acquaintance".

This is literally mirror-world Diebold/2004 hahahahahaha
The person who posted that one is in Virginia. She can ask for all the paper ballots she wants and it still won't turn VA red. She's actually a good friend, but she's a Tea Partier so no sense in arguing with her at all. I just never talk politics with her.

This happens every 4 years to whatever party thinks they're going to lose, so they start making excuses.

Not for Texas where Latinos are much more conservative and Republican than the national average.

Yes to clarify for those too young (ugh)to remember the 2004 election, DailyKos etc were rife with posts about Bush-connected Diebold voting machines flipping votes from D to R.
I remember it was stupid then too.
I feel like that Facebook post needed a diagram done in MS Paint to truly shine.

Playing along with that kind of game is so unfathomably irresponsible, especially as a presidential candidate. Voting fraud is super serious, and some people may very well become violent if they actually believe it's going on.

Shhh...they can't hate Nate if they pay attention to facts like that.
Nah, it's all too easy once you read the stuff he writes and puts on social media. Which is what most of the Nate hate is about incidentally.

No I can still hate his awful punditry and his extremely thin skin.
Yup I remember during the democrat primary election where a Sanders vote would select Clinton. It's just terrible calibration on the touchscreens which honestly shouldn't be happening either but that's on the state
10 for Trump!

Patrick Murphy is lending his own money, about $1m to his campaign
Thank you Schumer, you ass. How is your re election bid coming along.

All it takes is some critical thinking.
Either this touch screen is fucked up
or
They are rigging the election right in front of my face instead of doing it in the back end of the system where I cant see it!!!

Oh I was talking about a Trump tweet from this morning. I figured it would've already been posted here, but guess not!

It's because they have so much power, and who's going to believe us?! The touch screen isn't messed up, because my touch screen on my new idevice17 isn't messed up, and I can't conceptualize touch screen tech that's as old as I am because the state refuses to pressure the vendors who built it!

What.
This is like using money as fuel for your fireplace when you are middle class.
What in the world is Schumer doing?
That'd be good to see... because the Hitler rant video from Downfall is somewhat overused, we need new material.

polls literally have him up by 40
No idea. Could be he's worried about millennials, judging by the content of some of the ads. Or he could be trying to run up the numbers and scare the GOP off any future challenges, not that he needs to do that given he always wins by like 30-40 points.

He has spent nearly $6m from the dscc coffers running his reelection ads in the expensive NY market. A race he's winning by 30+ points. And he's not sending any funds from the coffers to Patrick Murphy's bid.

NPR had a good article about the touch screen flipping votes:

Why is this guy next in line for the Democratic senate leadership? He seems like a horribly choice.
Thinking about it, he may not have embraced modern campaigning like Clinton and Obama have. Dude's probably still using old school consultants since he's never seen a competitive race in his life. Someone needs to explain to him that he shouldn't be listening to those fools.
Agreed. He's a weird dude for sure.

I like Schumer as my senator, but he makes some weird choices sometimes
What is going on?! People are saying!
Typical Trump. Yes, the red state of Texas is very openly flipping your vote right in front of your face - because reasons.
I think Donald goes off on twitter by the sixth or so.
As for the MODELz - the biggest change was that they removed the CVoter state polls since they were using modeling based on national data rather than state by state data (so Clinton running up the margins in California was giving her a better chance to win in Ohio). So I suspect a good chunk of state "polls" (since CVoter was a daily tracking) were removed.

For what it is worth he was behind the recruiting and fundraising that led to a lot of wins in 2006 and 2008.
Chuck knows how to win as a party. That's most of his upside, because plenty of elected Dems in the DSCC/DCCC history didn't even get the basics of winning.
In everything else he's kind of meh.
