So hot take:

The 'tightening" has been a net positive for us. The idea that Trump could win this thing is getting people off their ass.

Look at all the people in line!

How do we know that Mexican supermarket doesn't have thousands of Trump supporters in line.

I'm done with politics for the night. I'm going to go find materials and make enough crowns from monster contracts to make me grandmaster wolven boots and gauntlets, and figure out who put the curse in the house of spoons.

So far so good. I used to get Kettle One. I'll probably get this from now on. Tastes fairly smooth.

The ongoing scuttle is Kirkland is from the same place as Grey Goose. Depending on the taste test, I believe it beats out GG. I wouldn't feel bad. Good Vodka can be gotten rather cheap.

Nearly 30K early votes in Mecklenburg County (Charlotte, NC) today. Mecklenburg has now surpassed 2012's final tally with 1 day remaining (early vote ends tomorrow, no Sunday vote because NCGOP hates black people) and is 16% ahead day for day.

Inspiring stuff. As always, the more people that vote, the better it is for Dems. Let's hope that enthusiasm keeps on going right till the end.

The battle to save early voting is going to be a big one. Republicans know there only shot is to just completely suppress the vote. Thankfully the courts will hopefully be stacked against them.

The courts seem to be waking up this year. I'm hopeful for the future. Also Hillary's got this. I'm confident that we will win on the 8th.

Is all your political stuff on your computer in a folder called Battling Bantam?
Click to expand...

oddly enough I don't save political stuff on my computer. I just remember where I saw it and grab it as needed.

there's probably a better way to go about doing that.

We're going to see a LOT of bullshit coming through state legislatures after 2016. This year is going to be absolutely terrible for a lot of red states that did not see this wave coming.

Maybe we'll finally get a holiday or weekend day out of it, but "traditionalist" aka old white men are gonna fight tooth and nail to keep it the same.

But what if the Dems are just cannibalizing their own Election Day voters, and no one but David Duke and Internet Nazis show up!?

What if Podesta didn't say 'Klaatu, Barada, Nikto' correctly at his Satanic tapas party!?

What if Hillary's Super-AIDS acts up!?

We can't stop bedwetting!

Texas is looking pretty fun:

The turnout for early voting is breaking records in Travis County and across Texas.

State officials are calling this presidential race "a high-interest election" for voters.

Texas has set a record with registered voters, which accounts for nearly 80 percent of the state's estimated voting population. The state has 15.1 million registered voters for this election, up from 13.6 million in the 2012 election.

The Texas Secretary of State's office said as of Thursday night, early voting numbers have topped four million. The old early voting record was in 2008 when around 3.5 million people cast their ballots. The numbers include the state's 15 largest counties. In this election, it accounts for more than 41 percent of all registered voters in Texas.

I don't think Hillary is in shape to win TX, but it's going to be competitive.

Upshot blogs NC EV estimate is so great.

I think that's the real problem with 538 this year, the entire data analysis is just "This is why our model did a thing" paired with some ok political reporting (I like claire even if yall don't)

That said, there' zero synergy in the project. Claire goes to ohio and brings back a comment from an election official that people re-activating registration is up. Then that observation dies on the vine. Shouldn't that be investigated, is that true, is that measurable?

That's where Upshot is really killing it this year. They seem to be using the data to ask and answer interesting questrions. Like "What is early voting doing for Clinton in NC this year"

That's the potential of Data journalism, not just predicting election results.
