US Midterm Election Megathread II: The Stretch Run Begins

[San Lumen]

You made the claim and I debunked it

Most states have rules as to how far one can be campaigning from a polling place.

>Debunked

Yeah, that's not what that means homie.

I am a election inspector in my state. Im well aware of what voter intimation and electioneering is.

Sure

[Ifreann]

Well that is wrong and they ought to be removed from the polling location. We have secret ballots for a reason

Technically you can’t do anything because they are outside the polling place

Threatening anyone, anywhere is a crime.

Sure

I take two seminars a year for the position as required by state law. They tell us all about it and everything else one needs to know about conducting a election

'Yes Mr. 9-1-1 operator, my wife said if I didn't take out the garbage before she got back from the gas station she'd 'tickle me until I fell over' and I felt such a terrible crime needed to be reported"

Good for you.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the Midterm Election thread actually featured discussion about the midterm elections?

Youngling, you have been here long enough.

Outrageous!
Anyways, how often does Congress not fully swap parties during an unpopular presidency?

Like I said. We live in Bizarro times. Liberals are defending the FBI and Conservatives are defending the Russians.

Well, the next primaries are fairly quiet tomorrow, and there isn't a whole lot of change on the general front so far.

[Collatis]

Youngling, you have been here long enough.

I can hope, can’t I?

Anyways, how often does Congress not fully swap parties during an unpopular presidency?

The last time the opposition party didn’t win control of the House during an unpopular presidency was 1978. And America’s political geography looked very different then, with the Democrats still maintaining their near complete lock on the House of Representatives.

The last time it didn’t happen in the Senate? 2010, but the Senate is a very bad measure of that, considering only 1/3^rd of its seats are up for reelection in any given election year.

Well, but the Russians aren't vile leftists anymore and we have a president actively attacking his own Justice Department and Attorney General. Go figure, huh?

Anyone have interesting ballot questions this midterm? Utah does.

[Shrillland]

Anyone have interesting ballot questions this midterm? Utah does.

I have an entire two post-sized list of them in their entirety on Page 1.

As for me personally, no, Illinois doesn't have anything.

That sucks. Ballot questions are one of the reasons I like voting.

Republicans in Georgia are trying to suppress black voting by closing polling places. Tell me again that The Republican Party doesn't hate democracy. The more they do this, the more I reassurt my views on the Republican Party. The only way that can change is if the Party, by force of their voters, reverse course and start going left away from such anti-American policies.

No.

Anti-American? America has a long and rich history of voter suppression.

Indeed, you should enrich it! Suppress all opposition, declare a dictatorship, and let the asteroid belt fall on this wretched planet!

Wait, do you want them to go away from anti-American policies, or to align more with you?

[Shrillland]

No.

So you have no issue with closing polling locations? Why would you close polling locations if you weren't trying to prevent people from voting. Even the Republican nominee for Governor has spoken out against this.

Having Arlenton as dictator would be a net positive.
