2016 elections - because it's never too early

[CountDeMoney]

I drove past my polling station this morning, it looked like a crowded mad house, I may have to take some time off to get in line in time this evening. I better charge my phone!

Yeah, I can't risk getting fired for being late, so I'm just going to wait with the masses tonight.

I can't really speak for spicey, but Johnson did really come across as a big of a pothead flake during the campaign.  And Bill Weld didn't really help when he all-but-endorsed Clinton.

Personally my foreigner non-vote would go to McMullin (unless I was in a tightly contested state where I'd vote for Clinton).


For what it's worth, fivethirtyeight's latest projections has flipped and now says Clinton has the better chance of winning Florida, North Carolina and Nevada.  However, even if they're wrong and Trump takes all three it would still be a razor-thin win for Clinton - some other state would also need to flip for Trump to win.  Their next most likely state is New Hampshire, but there they prefer Clinton quite a bit more.

I would have probably held my nose and voted for Hil if I voted today. I wish libertarians got their shit together and actually nominated someone with more gravitas behind them as I think if there is one year a good third party candidate stood a chance, it would have been this.

What sucks is I can't get admin leave because my schedule still allows me two hours to vote with polls closing at 7, but they don't consider that I have an hour commute home! I'll use some of my annual leave .

I have no interest of been in line to vote that last hour in the dark with the other hungry and pissed off ARMED motherfuckers.

I carry only 16 hydroshocks

It might help, like I told vM, if third parties actually tried to run to be real parties (aka get various important state positions like governor, important mayoral roles, congress...) rather than just show up every 4 years with some random slotted in as their candidate. It shouldn't be surprising they aren't viable if they aren't really even trying to make themselves viable.

I don't know if we really know enough about him given that he's only been on the national stage all of a second.

[Malthus]

I voted

English only on my ballot.  Voted straight GOP except for president, in which case we both wrote in Berkut's name.

I would make an excellent President.

Certainly better than Trump.*

Yeah surely there is some town/congressional district where Jill Stein could get elected.

I know Johnson was a governor but not as a Libertarian.

I turned a deaf ear to Johnson's gaffes and Weld's bizarre quasi-endorsement of Hillary.  It's a protest vote.  Had McMuffin been on the ballot and was polling better than Johnson I'd have voted for him.

Wife had to get to work for meetings this morning but will vote this afternoon.  I think part of her still wants to vote Trump, but I sent her a voting guide and specified Johnson, so I think she'll go along with that.

My conscience: clear

Oh and I voted to renew the school and park levies.  I goofed and voted for the park levy increase as well; our parks are fine and really don't need the extra money.  They better not build another damned skate park with that money

If trump wins languish will blame you.

It's too late.  Hillary's already coming for his guns and to bolt down his toilet seat.

Like a skating rink? Ice skating rink? Skateboarding type deal?

I went to the skater thing they had in Cedar Park and somebody had a, I am not kidding, a boombox playing Nirvana. It was amazing.

Nah, they'll blame Tim, like always.
