NCGOP makes me legit pissed. Voting should be the easiest damn thing in the world, but these corrupt little bitches target certain groups, wanting the exact opposite.
D's need to win there just to prove these shitty tactics will not stop the electorate.

But long term we need more safe guards in place. Is there anything that can be done from an executive level? I'm guessing not since it's a state level issue but it infuriates me they can get away with such blatant discrimination.
 
Heads up:

NEWS: George W. & Laura Bush did not vote for Trump. They left the presidential line empty & cast votes for downballot GOP candidates

Like David Foster Wallace says. No one doesn't vote. You either vote or you double someone else's vote by not voting. Thanks, ding dongs! Pantsuit Nation!!
 
Does someone have handy that Twitter list posted yesterday that was basically for salt and tears today? Misplaced the link and forgot to add it.

The @realDonaldTrump head was a cake & told it was a gift. #TrumpCake was whisked away by security out of #TrumpTower #ElectionDay

Yeah...probably want to stay away from that thing lol

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I don't think I need to say it, but I will anyway: Wolf Blitzer has no business being on TV.
 
The only thing that concerns me.

The ONLY thing.

The D GOTV effort this time is very impressive to see, especially for someone new to the D side of things. Very organized, very focused on even the tiniest detail.

I was a Rush listener in the 90s. The GOTV against Clinton has been in the works for 25 years. I just hope enough people became immune to it over time.

Chuck Todd: "It's going to take us at least until tomorrow morning to find out who controls the United States Senate."

I somehow doubt it.

Seriously CNN needs to drop this whole 'count down' to the exit poll. When BBC does it I know they'll have a poll at 10.

GOP support skews much older. A lot of those rush listeners from the 90s are dead now

Ah, the classic CNN "Polls are coming soon!" and then they don't show up for an hour.

I don't know how you guys watch CNN. I can't take Wolf Blitzer for more than a few seconds. Locked in on MSNBC all night here. Will click links to enjoy salt from the other networks though. :)

Propaganda is not GOTV. GOTV is an actual activity with data, volunteers, plans, and execution during the time votes are cast. Making someone irrationally mad at a candidate just makes them irrationally mad, it doesn't necessarily get them to the polls.

You know what I mean.
 
Yeah, my parents are still in their 50s. I wouldn't write that generation off at this point.

You misunderstand.

Politically engaged people, especially conservatively politically engaged people skew older.

Take a look at fox news' demographics sometime. Tons of listeners, median age up in the 60s somewhere. That's who the typical rush listener was.

If your parents are in their 50s, they're likely on the upper end of Gen X. That generation leans D not R, though not by as much as millenials.
