We went 51% Clinton 41% trumpNebraska went 34% Clinton 60% trump

Both states had twice the third party votes compared to NC with 5.7%NE, 7.3%OR, and 2.8%NC

Hillary won my district 60% to trump 28%Coincidentally, we instituted rank choice voting by initiative in our district. We would hope to spread it.

The U.S. state of Oregon established vote-by-mail as the standard mechanism for voting with Ballot Measure 60, a citizen's initiative, in 1998. I couldn't find how Nebraska implemented its mail in process.

I just don't think vote by mail is something republicans let happen. The Nebraska system requires people to request a "no excuses" absentee ballot, whereas in Oregon, everyone is sent a ballot and information about the election. Ballots are returnable by mail or you may drop them off at any of numerous drop off sites.

It looks like turnout for NE was 71% whereas here in Oregon we had 79% and apparently they consider that low since the vote by mail initiative was passed.

That was his plan..They hate CA after all.

Or will double reaganomics pay off this time and it really just an accident (I'm not familiar with what he did in CA but I'm sure its is awesome as always)?

I get the feeling I will be short selling and buying option puts rather than the momentum buying that is going on now some time in about 4 years.

I'm selling my house, and holding the cash for 3 to 4 years, and when the market collapses again, I'll be ready.

It's sickening that these morons don't notice who's running the country when they have jobs, and who's running the country when they're out of work.

Ya..Id wanna be selling within 2 years if these policies do what they normally do, and they push for it hard.

I will laugh if these policies actually do what they say this time which is create broad prosperity which attends to the interests of common folk. Never woulda saw it coming- wooosh

There's a faded billboard in south Georgia I pass by on my way to the coast saying "U.S. Out Of The U.N." It was placed there long ago by the John Birch Society. So with the Trump coup it's no longer a quaint reminder of our isolationist past, right?

Its almost like it would be better to have nonpartisan bureaucrats do it according to some algorithm that allocates according to fixed parameters.

Certainly you don't mean the top 1% in IQ which is everyone who is +135 IQ.

We can vote them in our state. They just turned down a corporate tax because of a campaign saying the tax was a consumption tax which was an initiative.
