Sys, thanks for the information. I am writing him in. Does anyone know if he is registered yet with KS. Secretary of State as a recognized write in candidate?

I WANT HIM

A new poll — this one released Monday from Rasmussen Reports — shows a statistical tie between Republican Donald Trump (30 percent), independent Evan McMullin (29 percent) and Democrat Hillary Clinton (28 percent)

This is the only, only poll to report such a result. No others are even close to this.

I listened to him on the radio today. He said those other polls don't even have him as a choice so he was polling 20% as a write in which is pretty remarkable

EVAN EVAN EVAN EVAN he's my beautiful stallion
-
I'll be using my throwaway vote to write him in (unless he somehow gets on our ballot)
-
You can't write him in in Kansas. I mean, you can write whatever you want on the ballot, but it won't count.
-
Tuesday is going to be a really long, scary night if McMullin wins this thing.

I read something last week that didn't list Kansas. I guess you can write him in.
-

I don't know if I will either, I don't even know who he is. Need to do some research. But I was on the verge deciding to just write in something funny like Leslie Knope or Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
-
To win, Evan needs to win Utah, but then he needs Trump to do well enough to just about tie Clinton, but not so well that he actually beats her. So if you are in a red state or a tossup state, Evan's best chance would be you actually voting for Trump.

I have a great write in candidate that I will reveal on election day

Will the president of Utah be above or below the governor?

Will the president of Utah be above or below the governor?
Doesn't matter. They are both below the prophet.

How many immigrants can they handle?

McMullin, who has received between 20 and 29 percent of the vote in Utah in four recent polls, is close to the threshold I described above. That puts him on something of a precipice: He’s likely to either gain support or lose it instead of staying where he is right now...
Typically in mid-October, if you saw an independent polling at 20-something percent, you’d assume he was on his way down after once having been more competitive. McMullin, however, has the potential to benefit from a feedback loop as more people hear about his candidacy and consider him to be a viable option...
I wouldn’t be surprised to see McMullin gain further ground in the next round of polling.

I love feedback loops.

Teddy Roosevelt of the Progressive party won 8 states in 1912. Is that modern enough?

George Wallace of the American Independent party won 46 electoral votes (carried 5 states) in 1968. That was the last time a 3rd party won any electoral votes.

That one racist guy won a bunch of the South in the 50's or 60's
-
McMullin's got a real shot at winning this. The rural areas will still probably go overwhelmingly for Trump, but the suburban Morridor where most of the population is will continue to move away from Trump to McMullin following the lead of their party/church leaders who are making that move.

He has no shot at winning, but it might be a better write-in vote for me than Master Splinter or Frank Martin. (<-----Who I actually think would make a really good president)
-
You may be wondering why we are asking you to write in “Nathan Johnson” and not Mindy Finn, Evan’s running mate for Vice President. As you know, the campaign was required to file paperwork in order to qualify as a write-in. At the time, a formal Vice Presidential pick had not yet been made. However, Evan’s trusted friend Nathan Johnson offered to step up and fill the Vice Presidential slot in order to meet the legal requirements of write-in filings. Therefore, when casting a write-in vote, the vote should be cast for “Evan McMullin” and “Nathan Johnson.”
In the event that the election is pushed to the House of Representatives, Nathan Johnson would then resign as the Vice Presidential nominee to be replaced by Mindy Finn.

I would think the rural (more momo areas) would go heavy McMullin, but could see them being slower to move just because =no internets!!=.

Could be, but there are a lot of Cliven Bundy supporters out there and I'd guess they vote Trump.

I think some of you MO voters are forgetting that Missouri is the Morman's homeland.
I bet you guys one spirally tower thingy that if there was a second state that church was going to White Horse, it would be MO.

It really is a sweet ass building
-
That building looks like it was from the Wizard of Oz.
-
Holy ground, tho
-
Chinese steel in that thing no doubt.
-
I haven't been a GC for a while now, but as of like 10 yrs ago, you couldn't build structural with Chinese steel. Was kinda headscratchy when that was brought up last night. Must have changed since.
-
Seems like regulation, man. :curse:
-
Lack of, these days, apparently.
-
Chinese steel is not common. Only one project I know of has used it, and that was because that particular odd size was literally only made in China once every 6 months
Government projects require American, I'm not sure what the rules are on private projects.
-
It used to be that certain calcs were based on certain steel standards (A34 for example) and the stuff china was using as those certain standards were thought to be compromised and less than those standards. So if you engineered a building to a certain steel standard, you couldn't use that equivalent from China because of their shitty steel not being equivalent.
mocat probably has better details on this.

So, is @sys now urging everyone to vote Trump (unless you live in UT)? :sdeek:

nope, engineer
-
"engineer"
-
the structural drawings will indicate the ASTM specifications required for the steel being used on the project. this is all very standardized in the US, as most shapes are A36 (36 ksi), HSS shapes are A500 (46 ksi), and wide flanges are A992 (50 ksi). it's up to the steel supplier to provide steel that meets the specifications, wherever they get it from
-
"engineer"
not sure what this means

It was a derisive way of showing my contempt for "engineers" from other disciplines.

Evan McMullin is in the top 4? So you think he has more of a chance than Jill Stein even though he isn't even on the ballot in most states and even though he didn't even have a running mate in time for the write-in deadline so you actually have to write-in some other guy for VP instead of his actual running mate?
-
DID ANYONE READ THE SUBJECT ARTICLE?!
-
Jill Stein has no path to victory. Neither does Gary.
-
Jill Stein has no path to victory. Neither does Gary.
Who are the 4 then?
-
Hill
Trump
Evan
Biden???
-
I've seen some site say that Bernie could win vermont, nobody gets 270, and the house decides it for him. I wouldn't call it a likely result but Bernie as the 4th?
-
Jill Stein is more whackadoodle then Gary Johnson.
-
Hill
Trump
Evan
Biden???
Not biden, Kaine or pence??? That's confusing.
-
Hill
Trump
Evan
Biden???
How about if the House can't decide so then the Senate has to vote for VP and the VP becomes (acting) President because the House still can't break the tie....Then Kaine could be President.
-
Oh my 4th was if the house can't choose by inauguration day the Senate apparently chooses from the top two veep candidates? Seems dumb. I guess that's 5 people with a path to victory.

Yeah I initially read it as the current veep just becomes pres

Oh they only get to choose from the two highest VP candidates. I was really hoping there was a path for Nathan Johnson.
-
And apparently it's the incoming house and not the lame duck house. Sorry Huelskamp.
-
Where's this Evan feller on the whole public lands transfer thing? He's Utah so I would guess he's about as awful as possible. I'd rather have Trump.
-
Hillary could shoot someone in the middle of times square and still easily get to 270.

If that someone was Don, she could easily get 350.

Why are you doing this to yourself?
But, Silver cautioned, while it's possible, such a result is "not likely" because the FiveThirtyEight model gives Johnson only a 2 to 3 percent chance of winning New Mexico, and about a 0.2 percent change that causes a deadlock.
-
I just spoke to the Kansas Secretary of State's office and ask if Evan McMullin was a recognized write-in candidate in Kansas. I was told yes he is. So if you write in his name for president your vote will count. Spread this news to others if you don't like Hillary or Trump.

http://www.sltrib.com/news/4541370-155/two-new-polls-show-trump-surging
Two new polls show Donald Trump surging in Utah and independent candidate Evan McMullin sliding in the final days of this presidential contest.
The Monmouth University Poll found Trump at 37 percent, followed by Democrat Hillary Clinton at 31 percent and McMullin at 24 percent.
And the Rasmussen poll had Trump at 42 percent, Clinton with 31 percent and McMullin at 21 percent.

eff!

Utahians are mumped in the head

lotta utahionians shed their shame cloaks and admitted they're voting for trump last minute.

I've lost all respect for them

once all the whipped moderate conservatives come crawling back with their tails between their legs to vote for trump this thing could get interesting nationwide.
-
Utah R's are theee worst. The worst. eff them. I'd be just fine if the Utah senators and reps all went blue. Now I'd prefer their electoral votes stay red, but the Congressmen are corrupt rough ridin' retards, and they've tricked their constituents into believing a lot of stupid crap.

The complete opposite of the Utah R's. That is the source of my frustration with them. Considering getting the new Chase credit card and hitting my spend sending them a pallet of 'dos.
-
ALSO! Those fuckers led the charge and killed in the House the Senate version of the 2015 Energy Bill which passed the Senate like 83-13. Hate them so hard.
-
So are you hoping for the Bears Ears NM? I honestly haven't look at it in much detail, but it seems like it's going to be one of those two options.

I guess I'm not sure what you're talking about then. I thought you were asking me my opinion on the strong general Utah R position on transferring federal public lands to the state.
-
Related. What I'm talking about is focused specifically on a chunk of southeast Utah. It has essentially come down to the Utah Rs and their Public Lands Initiative versus environmental groups/local tribes and their push for a national monument. Again I'm not up to speed on the details, but I think the PLI has some land trading and things that work favorably towards future state ownership.
-
The R's are just rough ridin' wrong when it comes to federal lands. The states can't afford to manage them on a long term basis. After a big fire or something they'll be forced to sell them, and in will swoop folks like the Koch brothers to buy, and they'll be gone forever. We should never advocate or condone the transfer of lands from federal control. Unless you want to side with the YallQaeda's of the world. Anyway I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir.

i think emo may be my favorite single issue voter

yes, fringe single issue voters are very good
-
It's certainly an interesting layer on the emo onion
-
The single issue is an onion with many layers in an of itself. It can be very nuanced, too.
-
Well obviously

You should pack a copy of The Monkey Wrench Gang next time you are out scouting elk for a few days. I think you would enjoy it.

Utahians are mumped in the head
They had their fun then reality smacked 'em upside the head.

I should note I'm not an environmentalist by any means. Hate them too, actually.
-
Me neither, but it's a great story and the antagonist is exactly how I picture the Utah Mormon politicians involved in the land disputes to be.
-
Righty-o. :thumbup:
-
hey idiot utah democrats, vote for mcmullin you idiots.
-
A guy on CNN last night said that some McMullin supporters could bleed into the Nevada election. I'm not knowledgeable enough on Mormon demographics or if McMullin is on the Nevada ballot, but everyone seemed to nod and say, "Well, that is a possibility."
I doubt he will get a huge write in vote in Nevada, but I guess if there is a large Mormon population there? Maybe?
-
there's a large mormon population in nevada (also arizona and idaho), but if he's not on the ballot, it's probably not going to matter.

Nate Silver has talked about the similarities between how Nevada/Utah/Arizona vote. Of course this year could be a wild card.
-
Looks like he's a write-in in Arizona and Nevada.
He's on the ballot in Colorado, though. That may be worth watching. Even fraction of a percentage point could make a big difference.
-
yes most of utah is turning out to be complete idiots, but how is mcmullin doing in the morridor?
-

Pretty easy to see why conservatives with integrity voted 4 Evan

This thread seems like the best place for weird Utah political stuff. Morms happy about trump undoing Bears Ears NM want to name a highway after him.

He has quite a few flavors I crave. But can we swap out his face for like Nicolas Cage?
