Yeah guys. The idiotic thing was 4 hours of no voting, not extending the hours. But thanks...

I was kidding KC. Chill out it's election night.

Fyi

I feel like the NYT made this intentionally so that Republicans could tee off in it. “Breathe like a baby” is so pathetic of a phrase to not have been specifically crafted

Well, this is boring. I'm glad you guys decided to end this silly experiment.

Yeah... extending the hours make the most sense in absence of being able to provide a secondary polling location.

Otherwise you're saying you're OK with disenfranchising a bunch of voters because of logistical issues which is certainly a take.
Yeah thanks I thought the application of "idiotic" in my statement was common sense

Did you actually read what you wrote lol

4 of us misread it. Maybe you need to pick and choose your words better?

Are there any accounts from a German citizen’s perspective during the Nazi era? I feel like that would be an interesting perspective re: voting for fascism.
Well, there's "The Diary Of Anne Frank"..........
Don't you think she was probably a little biased though...
sometimes your irreverence is funny, perhaps even needed, but this just flat out sucks, bub

Do.............. you know what mikey is referring to?

Yeah. Do you really think I thought they should have told the voters "better luck next time"

Little Marco apparently won miami-dade

Does it truly matter?

Again, 4 of us misinterpreted what you said. Not sure why I'm being singled out here. Move along with your night.

FL with DeSantis' redistricting and an added seat have picked up 3 house seats.

General feeling is the GOP easily takes the House and narrowly takes the Senate, yes?

CNN Projection: Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene will win reelection in Georgia’s 14th District

Imagine willingly filling in the bubble next to MTG’s name.

Yeah, that seems to be conventional wisdom for the past week.

it’s a pretty simple formula actually. She gets voted in off Trump’s coattails, she says dumb things, smart people get “triggered”, her base is invigorated to vote for her again because of the triggering

she’s a dimwit but she knows the system

Postby **Morkle** » Tue Nov 08, 2022 8:44 pm

If that’s the “system” America is mega done.

I hate to break it to you Mork and Mindy…

Taylor-Greene and Boebert are just so unbelievably awful. Idiocracy has been fully engaged

Get ready for lots more of MTG as she's already making McCarthy kowtow to her.

In last hour or so, Fetterman went from ~30% to 52% on ElectionBettingOdds.com

Good news guys. Sarah Huckabee Sanders called the winner in Arkansas. Finally government will speak the truth,

They said on ABC that they think Trump coming to talk and Oz being on stage may have doomed him with some moderate voters.

No, but if he does we'll blame NAN.

R taking Senate has been hovering around 70% throughout most of the day before the polls closed. The expected margin was 53-47. Right now it's only 60-40 (which already is withing the margin of error) and D's are "getting back" PA + AZ - Walker is still "ahead" in GA, but only 51% chance of victory, while he started at 60+%.

EDIT - Aaand - as I was typing the above, the expectations went to 50-50, because Warnock went from 35 at the start of the day to 55 now. Republicans now 55% chance to take Senate.
