Election day 2018 comments, observations, and meltdown thread

[I_have_purplewood]

I always vote no on all the judges.

Anyone else?

I felt kind of bad for not really reading about any of the judges so I just decided that the ones in Wichita and Olathe were doing shitty and voted no to them.

2016. For sure, but I would think you Missouri libs would want my vote in Kansas anyways.

I'm sure they will just make you vote on a provisional, then proceed to not count that vote.

His fraudulent votes have already been counted

I voted yes because I felt guilty not knowing enough about them and I don’t want to force someone out of a job for not doing my research. Moral compass! <——-

[8manpick]

If you guys just text "stop" you will not get those texts.  But don't text "stop you stupid idiots" because that doesn't work.  Just text "stop".

Why do people vote on election day, when they can vote in any number of way more convenient fashions?

I don't think voting by mail is more convenient at all, probably less because you have to sign up somehow (I think). Of course I have a tiny polling place closer to my house than a post office and never have to wait in line.

I don't think voting by mail is more convenient at all.

it is.  you sign up once and then for forever they send you ballots whenever there's an election and you fill them out and send them back.  also you can fill them out with the help of google so you don't have to do Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) crap like pick judges based on their names.

I put mine in the mailbox right by one of the dog's favorite crap spots Sunday night.  Hasn't been received/counted yet.

I noticed several people doing this to the machines while I was in line. The voter people didn’t seem to care much.

At @defcon hacking conference and just learned how easy it is to physically gain admin access on a voting machine that is used in 18 states. Requires no tools and takes under 2 minutes. I’m concerned for our upcoming elections. pic.twitter.com/Kl9erBsrtl

I have a multi-unit mailbox.

I google things and write down everything I care about. Didn't take time to research judges

Change votes, not count votes, only count votes for a certain choice, only show candidates for certain districts or parties. The options are endless!

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Pretty sure it's illegal to do what that girl is doing. The videoing, I mean. Hacking the machine is probably illegal, too.

[chum1]

lol

[libstradamus]

It's illegal to video yourself at a hacking conference?

[libstradamus]

I also don't believe tbt saw anyone doing that, let alone multiple people

[8manpick]

Power cords.

The state of Georgia did not supply power cords for their ELECTRONIC voting machines at a polling site in a mostly African-American neighborhood.

The person responsible?

The Republican Secretary of State, who is ON THE BALLOT.

THIS IS VOTER SUPPRESSION. https://t.co/Hlcc6eupRP

In most states I’d bet this was simple incompetence, but Georgia has seemed fairly messed up on the voter suppression issue for weeks leading up to this

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Kemp isn't going to need voter suppression to beat Abrams.

['taterblast]

THIS IS ELECTION TAMPERING. I was sent this video by a friend who wishes to remain anonymous, I have blurred the reflections to obscure their identity. The attendant told this person "Don't go making a fool of yourself", after they complained... THIS MUST GO VIRAL. pic.twitter.com/Nsp0vsIkWS

Won’t stop him from trying though!

[Brock Landers]

KSU-W:  Kemp is going to win anyway so eff your vote.  Also never mind all the other items on the ballot.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Kemp isn't going to need voter suppression to beat Abrams.

Unfortunately, we will never know if this statement is true or not.

[libstradamus]

Is kemps voter suppression even worse because it's done out of pure pleasure instead of political strategy?
