So NC can just claim "technical difficulties" and stay open for an extra 45 minutes? Um....

"Trump voting turnout 20% more than expected"
20%?!?!?!
With the early voting numbers, I'm assuming they expected at least the same level of turnout for Trump this year compared to 2016. If so, and this equals to 20% more than 2016 this is huge!!!
Was refreshing the homepage, and for the first time got a notice that the site would load in a bit, with a ~5 second countdown. It said it was to protect against a DDoS attack.
Are leftists trying to hack the site?? Or just crash it so we can't talk about the election?
I can relate to this. I nearly voted Gary Johnson in 2016, but switched last minute to Trump because why not? Maybe my state would switch red for once.
Spoiler alert, it didn't.
But now this year I'm Trump at all costs, talking politics with coworkers, trying to GOTV with people I think are receptive to Trump. The alternative scares me and I'm not sure I'm physically or emotionally prepared
I can't even remember why the court even ruled they should be released. I know they were searching for conflicts of interest, muh Russia, tax evasion, but those were only allegations. Like, I'd imagine tax records should be protected under due process and stuff, so what justification sealed the deal with making them public?
I mean he owns billions of dollars in property but he doesn't have like a billion dollars in his checking account or whatever the fuck.
Leftists actually think he does. These are the same people who post memes saying Jeff Bezos should give every one of his employees a raise because he's "so rich." Net worth, stocks, business write-downs, leveraging debt... it's all too advanced for them.
Oh that's awful. It needs to be appealed all the hell the way up to SCOTUS.
These kids might possibly have been exposed to a virus, so they might have it, and the might spread it, and the person who catches it might die? All those might's and maybe's SHOULD violate the Equal Protection clause.
Hell, I was reading a summary of Bush v. Gore the other day (because I'm weird like that), and SCOTUS ruled the FL recount as it was being performed violated Equal Protection, all because each FL county had a different voting method and therefore a different recount strategy.
I feel like this should also violate due process, because there's no specificity in this banning. When NJ and Maine tried to quarantine that Ebola nurse back in 2014, she sued and they settled, and "all" she had to do was monitor her symptoms. That was a specific case, it applied to her specifically because she was a healthcare worker treating Ebola patients, Ebola's a far deadlier disease, and her quarantine would have had an end date once she was past the last known potential exposure.
""My liberty, my interests and consequently my civil rights were ignored because some ambitious governors saw an opportunity to use an age-old political tactic: fear," she said."
And yet they don't seem to think that evidence of mail-in vote efficacy should be REQUIRED before forcibly switching millions of people to mail-in only, weeks before an election.
If they want to create such a large switch in how we vote, sorry not sorry, THEY should be the ones proving that it works. All the little experiments with it for the summer primaries were IMO failures
It's funny that out of all the news that came out today, this is the only thing that's clogging up my Facebook feed.
Hunter Biden and corruption, the indictment in the Breonna Taylor killing, the new riots starting in Louisville with pre-printed signs, the potential SCOTUS nominees, more science saying that Covid isn't that dangerous.... all within the past 24 hours.
I at LEAST expected to see some screeching about Breonna Taylor. But noooo, everyone's worried about hypothetical Trump never leaving the hypothetical White House.
I was just discussing these supposed voter suppression issues with my coworkers, who are Hispanic second-gen immigrants who are Trump voters. They live in pretty rough towns in east NJ, very urban and immigrant heavy. I mentioned all the talking points the left uses: poor people can't take time off work, immigrants can't speak English to register to vote properly, it's too expensive to get an ID, they don't have internet to register, etc.
They've literally never of anyone having those problems, and were quite frankly a bit insulted that "white folk" think so little of them.
Oh, they also said that the USPS moving and transporting mailboxes happens regularly every month, but this vote by mail thing is the first time people actually notice. I explained to them that suburban Karens don't use post boxes and they laughed
