Friends of ours in MI early voted, and had to dig through the pile of stickers to find it.

I voted today, no line.

I hate the people outside the polls who are repping their party. They asked if we wanted guides, we said no. The some Republican woman started telling us how to vote anyway, and I told her to "burn in hell." She shut up.

And yet Tom Brady is still walking free...

If you missed it, here's Bernie Sanders in a very short vid discussing how the primaries were stolen from him and how the elections are fucked.

A while back I got attacked by lefties for reminding them of the Sanders thing, they claimed it was all bullshit and invented by the right.

They were probably all gone.

Ditto. My wife and oldest voted Sunday and waited 30 minutes.

None at my location. No Black Panthers outside with clubs either.

I think a "No thank you" would have sufficed.

4 groups at mine, 2 for each party.

Her: Do you want a voting guide.
Me: No.
Her: VOTE YES ON...
Me: Burn in hell.

She should have accepted the "no"

BTW, my horse is Chase Oliver. I didn't want to jump through all the hoops for the write in. I wanted to get in and out.

They need to add an option to the straight party voting area: "Anything not R or D".

I took my time and even voted for all the judges and whatnot running unopposed. I won't the win the presidency, but dammit, I'm winning some races!

I voted for every Libertarian on the ballot, voted for a small handful of U.S. Taxpayers, and also voted for some Ds and Rs when no other options were available.

We had two levies up for renewal (yes to both) and an issue to repel the mind bogglingly moronic decision by this area (not the whole county, but not a single town, not a township either...it's a weird area), which is ON THE FUCKING BORDER with Ohio, to ban pot shops. This would allow them to open X# around here.

I know a voter who wrote a very well worded letter to the supervisor at the time pot became legal here. It detailed where to locate the pot shops so they were well away from the town and neighborhoods and would allow Ohio traffic to go back without coming neither either. It went on to explain that we needed to act quickly because eventually Ohio would also make pot legal and we would miss out on millions of dollars that could be put into the community.

Dipshit didn't listen to me though, and I'm pretty sure his political career is over. Didn't see him anywhere on the ballot, did see his job though, and haven't heard his name in a few years now. Also, Ohio has legalized pot, although are seriously dragging their feet on it.

The vote no people on this issue around here are fucking morons. "Not here!!" read their signs. It's already here assholes! My wife partakes and I've gone to the stores with her. I see all of your neighbors, business owners/workers, teachers, etc. Pot is going legal throughout the U.S. and you can't stop it. Actively choosing to not profit off of it puts you in the same boat as people who thought TV was a fad.

- Increase punishments for crime.
- Raise minimum wage to at least $12.
- Limited increase in gun control
- Pro-nuclear

- Declare Russia's actions war.
- Make rent control illegal
- Pro-choice
- Trans-women out of women's sports.

- work towards balancing the budget. Probably raise corporate taxes a little. Raise some taxes on those making over $400k. Word
- Pro Israel/Pro Ukraine Word/Word, but let's get to an end.
- Keep/improve ACA/Obamacare Sure, but it needs to be massively fixed.
- Increase punishments for crime. Word and may I suggest hold C suites responsible for knowingly allowing their companies to commit crimes?
- Raise minimum wage to at least $12. Word
- Limited increase in gun control I'd need to know the details.
- Pro-nuclear Word
- Allow the Browns to void Waton's remaining contract. (though I guess too late for that)... Allow Browns to sue for half the contract $$ back. Lost my vote. They did the crime, let them do the time.
- Pro-development of US-based supply chains. Super word.
- Declare China's actions war. Super mega word!
- Declare Russia's actions war. Super mega word!
- Make rent control illegal I have no real issue with that, but let's roll it out slow so people aren't homeless overnight.
- Pro-choice Word, but I'd add some minor limitations. Abortion is an important tool, but shouldn't be confused for a condom.
- Trans-women out of women's sports. Word
Added my thoughts in BOLD. Make one policy change and I'll follow you to the WH!

Looks like her to me, but I may actually fail to pick her out of a lineup. So. Not Melania expert.

Looks like her to me too, but I'm also not a Melania expert.

I do know that the crazies and conspiracy whackos live on both sides of the aisle though.

Her face looks a lot softer, and her figure looked different.

But, like Gordon, I'm not expert.

I'm pretty pro-boob, too!

Also, The Browns thing was just in there to make sure I suck Ohio. But I forgot about Cincinatti.

Well, scientists knew how to record atmospheric temperatures for hundreds of years until in like 2010 they were all wrong and had to be adjusted.

So this is like that. We gotta be extra careful to be super honest and accurate.

Snark aside, I doubt they had same day results in the 1700s when it took a few days to get the results up from Georgia and junk.

Still pretty early, though it is amusing that the important states are like being super slow to call it for trump because they just dont want to believe it's true.

Conspiracy answer: they're calling up the emergency "we just found these" absentee ballots.
