Election day 2018 comments, observations, and meltdown thread

It's amazing that people don't understand that their mail in ballots and pretty much any paper ballots aren't counted unless they have to be.

People are now finding this out and freaking out.

[catastrophe]

yeah i guess i should clarify my question

in 2010 midterms turnout was even D-R
in 2014 midterms turnout was even D-R
in 2018 midterms D's turned out 4% more than R's

is this (the D turnout, not the election results) the start of a trend or just trump effect?

It’s a bit confusing to me cause I kept hearing how Dems are notoriously bad about turning out for midterms vs Republicans. Would not have guessed turnout would be even in 2010 and 2014.

Oh, man. It's in the left column directly below a bunch of instructions on how to complete the ballot. Amazing. What a eff up.

1. It’s really not that hard to read.
2. If they didn’t care enough to realize they hadn’t voted for senate, I don’t feel bad that it didn’t get counted.

A machine issue would be pretty messed up though.

So 6 second attention span nation has trouble with ballots?

Whoopsy damn daisy, I messed up and did a confession

Cindy Hyde-Smith on voter suppression: "And then they remind me, that there's a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who that maybe we don't want to vote. Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. And I think that's a great idea." Nov 2nd in Columbus, MS. pic.twitter.com/OxNY77XCft

registered 'pubs turnout at a higher rate; there are more registered dems.  i didn't know that the effects cancelled each other out in 2010 and 2014, though.

Wacky seems to get really upset by interracial dating. Is this a religious thing?

Looks and smells like a combo Libderp7 profiling and misogynistic thing.

Republicans have to have better turnout for the numbers to be even.

Yeah, totally this. Hate it when Chings makes up things.

At least 123 women are headed to Congress. Just 19 are Republicans.

Like 99% of dem voters are dumb AND lazy, so I'm not sure why this is surprising.

If a pub did this, they'd be accused of voter suppression ad nauseum

Love’s defeat also ensures that Rs will lose 43% of their women in the House, from 23 to just 13. 90% of House Rs will be white men.
