Nope. They may be a sign of overall voter turnout, and in an extreme polling screw up would be the first signs of a landslide, but that's it.

That's a lovely little lie you've written there. Did you invent it all by yourself, or are you regurgitating some alt-right meme?

I'm going with option B since that's almost identical to like most of the twitter responses. No one is jumping on the Belle Rose 2052 bandwagon, though. Dammit.

If New Hampshire calls for Clinton early we can all go to bed and find out how much she won by tomorrow.

That's no fun.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Is this the rumoured Secret Trump Vote? :lol2: I'm guessing it's part of the Latino/a record turnout perhaps? Or is it New Yorkers living in fear of a possible Trump presidency and going out in droves to vote Dem.? (even though Trump has no chance of winning NY)

Cannot think of a name wrote:I was right, the news is on at work and the story just played.

Friday early voting in Clark County, Trump contends that they let people into the line after the cut off time and feels that the votes from those let in line afterward should be discarded.


The only problem is how do we know what votes were cast by those who arrived after eight o clock?

I'm going to bed early regardless. Time change just kicks my ass every time. Bleh. Plus it's not like it matters if I watch the results. I'd much rather wake up to President Elect Clinton than sit around fretting.

Well, given that it's a very Hispanic county, he's probably going for 'can't know, throw them all out.' Which, while I have nothing to base this on, I imagine no judge will comply but it will be part of the 'rigged election' narrative that they'll sell for the next two years in order to recover legislative losses in two years.

It will certainly wipe out a hell of a lot of money out of the economy in a single night like Brexit, that's for sure.
