To much thinking Rotes your brain.

why is it that I can check my account balance anytime from any atm from brazil to japan, but for some reason america can't figure out how to have an election where nobody has to wait in line for 3 hours and half the electorate thinks the other half is cheating?

I think it will tighten just a bit towards the end, probably in the area of 1%, and Hillary will only win by 50 - 44%. The only voters who will be fooled by the latest swerve to emails are the truly stupid people who are as yet, undecided. And there's an unusually high number of them this year.

Exactly. Trust me, there are a million and one Halloween activities for kids throughout the neighborhood and surrounding towns. I read the FB thread after listening to This American Life this weekend about St. Cloud, MN, and they all sound exactly the same. WE, US, THEM. Nobody is stopping you from doing your own thing on your own time. There is no civil right to wearing a Halloween costume to school.

WE don't wear those. THEY wear those.

I'm a poll worker, too, and if there is anything out of the ordinary with a voter's record in the computer, they can cast a Provisional Ballot that is hand counted and checked against the County's records after election day. There are any number of reasons why we might not be able to find a valid voter's record. It's not as easy to cheat the system as some people seem to think, and cheaters are very likely to be caught.

Rote is such a dumbass. Voting twice to cancel out the Hillary vote doesn't result in a vote for Trump. She should have voted three times.

In our city you can vote at any voting center and wait times are posted online, but for some strange reason people would rather stand in a long line than drive a few miles to a center without a line.

Trump has this great tell when he lies. He always ends the sentence with "believe me".

That's true, but the crazies aren't enough to win this election. The Rebublican base has a chance to, especially the way they've effectively gerrymandered the voting districts (The actual voter fraud). All of the Hillary garbage still comes out in a normal campaign.

I just called in to have them resend my ballot and I also got an early birthday message.

Hillary's going to have to use Obama's time machine.

Not a great career move...

You're vastly underestimating the size of the Republican base. Sorry, but the bases are roughly equivalent nationally, and Trump is keeping lots of Republicans away from the polls. I'd be muuuuuch happier if that weren't true, but it is. Look at how many Republicans win state races and Congress.

I wasn't at all worried about voter fraud until this fucking election. I'm still not freaking out, because there are things in place to stop it, but I am worried that people who are in charge of making sure there isn't voter fraud are going to be busy as fuck.
