When I voted this morning, the guy in front of me in line could not write, so he asked the poll worker to fill out his voter certificate for him. While I was voting, he came up the booth next to me. In Georgia, we have the little tables with the electronic touch screens, and you have to insert a yellow credit card thing. I could hear him making confused consternation noises, and when I finished, he asked, "Can you help me?" I thought he meant to vote, but he just hadn't pushed his card in all the way, and the "insert card" screen was still up. I told him to just push it in, he did, and the voting screen popped up. I was afraid some kind of voter fraud alarm was going to sound when I spoke to him and invalidate both our votes. I quickly walked away. Phew. Another lady ahead of me had recently moved here from Virginia. She said she had registered here, but they couldn't find her name in Georgia or Virginia. So, she had to sit down and fill out some paperwork for a provisional ballot. Is anybody dealing with long lines? My wait was only about 5 minutes.
That's kind of the entire reason politics exist. Of course I only want change if I think that change is going to support my goals/ideals; why would I support change in the other direction? Whatever you say, buddy.
Voter fraud anyone? (I realize this is more local then national, but it does exist,) http://fox2now.com/2016/11/07/east-st-louis-supervisor-accused-of-filling-out-ballots-himself/
My oldest brother has two twin daughters under the age of two. He's voting trump. I don't know how he can reconcile what trump says about sexual assault and having daughters...it just doesn't make sense to me.
My family doesn't talk politics. It wasn't until now that I found out who he was voting for. We are very dysfunctional and my oldest brother avoids serious conversations at all costs.
The same way people voting for Clinton can reconcile the fact that she defended a child rapist by claiming the 12 year old was "Asking for it."
In Canada, your employer has to give you 4 hours to go vote, so if the polls end at 8, they have to let you leave at 4.
I own my own business and while I want everyone to vote if they so choose to do so our polls are open before and after work so they don't need time off. Just trying to set an example for everyone. That said I would let everyone run up town to vote if they needed to, unpaid of course.
Since so many people hate the Patriots, I'm not sure if that helps Trump or hurts him. I don't think it would really surprised anyone to know that Belichick would vote for Trump, but it might surprise people that Trump wasn't lying.
My polling station is right across the street from where I work, so I was able to let the early morning crowd die down. Went in and was done in less than 10 minutes; nothing crazy to report either. Actually, I was surprised how seemingly happy and cordial everyone there was; both workers and voters.
I could hear it confirmed personally from Belichick himself and I'd still refuse to believe it. It's like hearing your dad talk about liking to be pegged by hookers; there's just a part of your brain that refuses to see a man you respect that way.
An interesting perspective on the whole e-mail thing. It makes sense that e-mails could (and should) be classified retroactively. And yes, she should have admitted she fucked up and just moved on. https://medium.com/the-curious-civi...know-what-the-clinton-511dc1659eda#.1d83b51ef
Just to inject a lil' humor into this whole mess: Despite my vast hatred for all things political, my 5yo son is friggin' PUMPED about this election for some unknown reason. He jumped out of bed at the crack of dawn this morning to make sure that I would be there right when the polls opened, and made sure that I knew who I was voting for ("The Donald Trunk" or "The Girl"). I was already up and planning on leaving early, but sheesh...
In and out in 2 minutes thanks to living in an area where most people cast early ballots. Mentally preparing myself for the hailing of our reptilian overlord.
I don't even know which candidate this refers to anymore. Please let this god awful year end already.
