He's busy rethinking that Buddy Ryan write-in vote.

The Senate seat on my ballot had some dude running unopposed, so I wrote in Chase Utley.  I don't think he won though.

weird, I don't feel this was a victory for me. 

[MDS]

difference from 12

phila: clinton +3000, trump +14000
chesco: clinton +18000, trump +3000
delco: clinton +5000, trump +1000
montco: clinton +24000, trump -9000
bucksco: clinton +6000, trump +8000

so, it was pennsyltucky. yes trump brought some angry whites out of the woodwork, but he made serious gains everywhere else. erie, westmoreland, york, lancaster, lackawana. he gained, she lost. thats what did it.

[hunt]

was overall turnout up on pa? 

[MDS]

yes, by around 200k

looks like overall turnout was down around 3 mil....though im too lazy to look into specifically where that was coming from

this is the key thought. this country through racism, apathy and ignorance gets whats coming to them

231,556,622 eligible voters

46.9% didn't vote
25.6% voted Clinton
25.5% voted Trump

[hbionic]

46.9% didn't vote

That's just farging retarded.

[MDS]

thats not even the registered but didnt vote number....thats adult humans

theres always going to be extenuating circumstances for people (work, family, life, etc.) but so many people just dont give a farg. i hope those people are rounded up first.

[hbionic]

I wonder how many of those 46%'ers are under 35 years of age.

Still...that's over 100,000 million that didn't vote. WTF.

Yep - it truly is ridiculous. It should be mandatory that you vote. Don't vote then you pay a penalty or some shtein.

And the iceholes who voted for Harambe? Ship their asses off to farging Syria.

[General_Failure]

Politicians would prefer a lot less people vote than already do, so don't count on seeing voting become mandatory in your lifetime.

I have a different point of view. In fact I wish they could make it so you have to pass a written test before you can vote to see if people understand what the f*** are actually voting for, instead of just some cartoon character.

Suppressing the wrong kind of voter is an idea both sides like, it turns out.

Lol.

Suppressing the wrong kind of voter is an idea both sides like, it turns out.

That's because beneath the opposing view points on various issues lies the same fundamentally flawed and moronic school of human thought.

[Eagaholic]

Yeah, gerrymandering should be outlawed too, long as we are saving the world.
