Election Day Thread - Nov. 3, 2020

[SunnySide]

Ohio’s most populous county, Franklin, switched to paper poll books after experiencing technical difficulties on Election Day, Secretary of State Frank LaRose said Tuesday.

Officials warned residents to brace for long lines and wait times early on election morning when polling workers began using the old-fashioned method to check in voters after learning that their electronic check-in system was not fully updated with new data.

"It's important to note that this does NOT impact voting machines in any way, and only modifies how voters are checked in," a spokesperson for La Rose said on Twitter.

The Secretary of State indicated that Franklin County Board of Elections was not able to upload all early in-person voting data into its electronic check-in system by election morning, but said poll workers are trained to use paper poll books to serve as a backup at every polling site.

Putting my democrat tin foil hat on ... why the fuck werent they able to upload all the data prior to Election Day? this wasnt some unforeseen technical glitch. this was people just not getting the work done on time by the deadline.

result = longer wait lines for the most populous democrat county in battleground state Ohio. In 2016, Hillary won nearly 60% of the county votes vs 34% for trump.

"Working" from home today. Having to work on election day is so dumb.

Hopefully everyone on the Warpath casts their votes. Stay safe out there. See you guys in these threads on Monday. Hopefully we have a clear, legal winner by then.

Go Football Team!

Whatever the outcome, hoping for peace and praying for the country.

Wasn't going to comment in the political threads the rest of the week, but was still going to be reading them (I don't have that much control). Bunch of tumbleweeds in here. Hot takes, medium takes, cold takes, normal takes, I'm open to anything. Give me some takes lol.

Hot take: I'm going to bed, no sense reading into anything right now when it's way too early to tell. My shift starts in 7 1/2 hours which hopefully will be enough time to tell, but with mail-in voting I wouldn't be surprised if they still don't have a firm lead.

I know if Trump loses big or small he's gonna litigate that shit all the way to SCOTUS. I firmly believe he's afraid of facing criminal charges if he loses POTUS protection.

You literally think the Manhattan DA doesn't have enough evidence to bring state charges?

Harvard researched.

Evidence of that power and how irresponsibly it is used is found in a recent Harvard-Harris poll for April 2020. A majority of Americans, 53 percent, believe the Christopher Steele dossier “was real in its findings of Trump colluding with the Russians.” Only 47 percent of Americans chose the factually correct option that it was Clinton-funded campaign oppo fueled by disinformation.

The Steele dossier, and its central and elaborate theory that Trump was a secret agent of the Russian government who had betrayed his country to steal the 2016 election, has been completely discredited by multiple government investigations. The limitless special counsel probe, ostensibly led by Robert Mueller, could find no evidence that Trump had colluded with Russia. In fact, the Mueller team could find no evidence that any American had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.


But yeah don Quito keep chasing them windmills

NC is looking to have a huge impact on the election, made me think of this song by Petey Pablo, that came out in 2001. That's the year I graduated high school. I pretty much stopped listening to mainstream rap (I do still listen to Christian rap/hip-hop semi-frequently) around this same time, so this song was one of the last huge hits I remember coming out.

So for everyone who talks about trump supporters as cultists etc. Does the fact that he will still win over 60 million votes even after 4 years of when is enough enough coverage give you any pause at all to reconsider your view of Trump's supporters?

I'm gonna get some hate for this but I honestly can't figure out how 60 million Americans can be duped by this grifter. Like you haven't figured out his pattern by now. You're only useful to him as long as he can use you for something. As soon as you start to question him or disagree with him you're cast out.

He panders to you because you have the ability to keep him in office, where in turn he can use all power of the fed gov't to further help himself and his friends. If he loses that power, he will go right back to where he was beforehand, a sheisty businessman fighting his umpteenth bankruptcy.

When Obama first ran for president I was struck by his positive energy, his intelligence, they way he spoke about hope and change. I never voted before Obama. I remember he did a speech in Baltimore and downtown was shut down. The crowds were huge. I remember we were literally running for a with few hundred other people to be the last to get into this section to see his speech and they literally had to close the gates right in front of us. We watched on TVs they set it in the inner harbor. I felt like a teenage girl running to see the Beatles for the first time. The energy and feeing was amazing. Hugging strangers. To see the faces of old black women and men seeing a black man being elected as president was so amazing. I felt like I was experiencing America back when JFK was elected.

Trump seems to be that for 60 million plus of my fellow Americans. Why can’t they have their Obama? Why aren’t they allowed to feel the energy of a president like I did with Obama?

I just can’t get past the fact that one man worked his way through life with nothing. Another was born to a rich millionaire. One man made it to the Ivy League on his brains and intelligence. The other was a paid for admission. One man was married to one woman, the other had multiple wives, had sex with a porn star while his wife was just gave birth and is currently in a contractual marriage to a woman who hates Christmas.

^ but these are the same elitist thoughts that partly gave birth to trump. Trump is a product of social media and hate. He is literally a reality tv show star.

To go from Obama to Donald Trump is so sad to me. But I can’t discount a vote for trump. We are all allowed a vote and a say. It is what it is. I can’t say I know better or I’m smarter than them. Even though college educated greatly lean left and non college greatly lean right.

But I imagine what you want to hear is “no alll trumps aren’t confederate flag waving rednecks and he got voters from all spectrums”

This was easily disproven from the first election data and I imagine even more so this time from what I’ve seen of the Hispanic and black men numbers.

I think Biden still has a strong path, I’m still thinking he wins. But when I see Democrats LOSING Congressional seats in BLUE STATES in a Presidential year with massive record turnout and an historically unpopular Republican incumbent in office...there is a serious problem in the dem party.

Holding the senate is most important imo

After Pres Obama's first State of the Union I came on here praising him because I wanted to believe. But his words were fairly hollow, though very smooth.

I voted libertarian in 2012.

What I "want to hear" is an acknowledgement from both sides that the debate is not about the person but the discussions should be how do these two Americas find common ground when the views and ideas are so distinctly opposite.

The views and ideas are not new by any standard. One size fits all federal ruled government vs the rights of individuals and states is as old as our constitution. Individual responsibility vs shared obligations isn't a Trump thing or Obama thing, it is a view of life thing. USA independence or world interdependence has been around since the Monroe doctrine was formed and before that when George Washington warned of the dangers of becoming entangled in foreign disputes.

Both sides in the US have some valid positions, but someone (i don't know who or how) needs to span the central truths that 70% of Americans believe and create policies for those 65-70%, leaving the loud vocal minorities on BOTH sides out of the discussion.

I "want that" at least here on the Warpath we all can set aside the pettiness that the leaders of both parties (Trump, McConnell, Pelosi, and Schumer are all petty in there own way) and discuss how to forge a workable common future path for the university educated and those educated by life, for those who live in downtown Baltimore and those who work on a farm in Kansas.

More people voted for Trump this time then last time. He will still lose the popular vote.
I believe alot of people who voted for trump were cursing the political system for making me vote for such a rotten person not because i like him, but because my ideas of how government should work are far more closely aligned with his policies than Biden's big government solutions.
