Rome

In the past 24 hours Trump has managed to insult the memories of millions of the honored dead and blamed victims of wildfires for dying and losing their worldly possessions. 

At what point does all the winning start?

-in contested elections, the only bluer district than pa-3 (me) is ny-13, which is harlem, upper manhattan, west bronx, wash heights, etc.
-if youre thinking about 2022 and taking down the cancerous pat toomey like i am, look at connor lamb. r+3 district and he wins by 13 points. ex-marine. 34 year old. penn law. he just needs a solid 7 of a wife and hes golden.
-ma-4 had the lowest turnout % relative to 2016. repped by joe kennedy. farg the kennedy's.
-montana's at large district had the highest. this is one repped by giafonrte, the dude who body slammed the reporter last year. montana seems like a cool place.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Eliminating ranked choice voting is bad. That's how our entire election should be, IMO.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

1. maine voters pass a ranked choice voting rule
2. main voters reject a rule outlawing this
3. neither the d or the r in me-2 get to 50, which means the ID candidates votes will be reallocated based on....ranked choice
4. this favors the D
5. https://www.pressherald.com/2018/11/13/poliquin-campaign-sues-in-federal-court-to-stop-ranked-choice-count/comments/

tl:dr

Trump offers to trade legal U.S. resident to dictator in effort to get him to ease investigation of another dictator, who had a different legal U.S. resident murdered on the first dictator's turf.

florida does it again

-there were around 21,000 senatorial votes missing from broward county, of which nelson would've won 70%
-this is about 14,000 votes
-he is going to lose by around 12,000 votes

so because of poor ballot design, 21,000 people simply didnt vote for senator....18 years after poor ballot design/construction caused old people to mistakenly vote for pat buchanan or not have their vote counted at all

in conclusion:

More specifically, Broward County does it again.  They screwed up the ballot in 2000 as well.

Also, the 14,000 votes wouldn't put Nelson over the top, assuming the remaining 7,000 went to Scott.

Admittedly, though, these ballots were idiotic.   Largely from having the full text for the 12 proposed amendments on the ballot.

From the looks of it, Broward had a bunch of local stuff on it as well.

Here's a sample ballot.

if the lead goes down to below 5k then you go ballot by ballot to figure out intent and then something could happen

when its 12 its over
