It actually was all about polling believe it or not (sound familiar?). That was the first election pollsters used telephones to poll people. Who had telephones at the time? Typically wealthier people and at the time wealthier people typically voted Republican. So they had a way bigger Republican sample and that’s why the polls showed a blowout victory for Dewey. The Chicago tribune owner was a big Republican and wanted to get out ahead of the inevitable so they printed those newspapers and put them out the night before so they could be first. Turns out sections in the paper were printer upside down, grammar issues all over, and Truman won. The Chicago tribune still has the patent/copy right of the paper.

Just tried to vote in MN, of course the “system is down” and wanted to give everyone absentee ballots. “When will you have it fixed?” And the response is “I don’t know”?? Typical government! Suppressing the vote in suburban MN. The Saturday before Election Day and your system doesn’t work?

that is the US house.. I am talking about a State Senate seat in California that had a special election today as well. It was a republican hold but a win nonetheless

Another Republican victory.. the State Senate District 28 Special Election today. The R candidate won by over 10 points to hold this seat. Not sure what the previous margin of victory was

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but out of the 7 US house seats that flipped in Cali in 2018 .. the 25th district swung the second most... the D in 2018 won by 8.8% so Its not like this is a seat that republicans lost by a a few percentage points.. nearly 9%

Looks like there has been 2 regional elections so far this year in Italy (both previously held by the left parties). One of the two seats flipped to the centre-right coalition parties with the League (Salvini) party dominating among centre-right parties. And the other regional election, which seems to have been a left wing strong hold, was fairly close (8% difference).

My suggestion would be to add a member count like there is on reddit. So we can see, unbiased, how the community is growing. I haven't seen that on td.win yet
