O'Keefe tried calling the Open Society Foundation under an alias to try and get something to manipulate, but accidentally forgot to hang up the phone and left a long voicemail on their machine detailing all of his plans.

the best part is when one of the people making the call looked up the journalist's linkedin (the one who they were leaving the voicemail for) and panicked because they realized then she would be able to log in to her linkedin and get an identity on these guys based on recent views

Actually the polls show Clinton with a lead, so if they're right Trump has a 0% chance of winning.

The polls show Clinton has the lead on October 26th. If they are right, the chances that Trump wins on November 8th is about 0.2%.

My main NPR problem is when they have an "expert" from the Heritage Foundation on and let them spew their nonsense unchallanged which feels like it happens a great deal but I probably only notice it because it stands out when it does.

And as a contributing listener here in Central, IL, I think the mission is incredibly important.

Our local station (WGLT) has started advertising that they are the only locally-owned and -operated media outlet in town. And it's definitely the best place to get local news; they have a daily local public interest/news program which hosts Q&A sessions with mayors, board members, superintendents, CEOs, etc. all the time. (Also they run a 24-hour Blues stream, so they rock.)

Plus they do showtunes on Wednesday night. So awesome.

I'm signed up to be an Election Judge and I've actually started having stress nightmares about it because I keep thinking I'm going to have to confront people trying to pull some kind of intimidation stunt. It's unlikely, but UGH. Even the training is like, "go in pairs with your alternate-party buddy so they can't claim anything."

Is it not already the closing days of the loving campaign? Also, What would the point of doing that even be?

I can't listen to NPR during election season, it makes me too mad while driving and causes me to drive more aggressively. I also can't listen to most radio stations because DJs insist on talking and ruining the music I want to listen to. So I just listen to CDs. If my car was newer I'd just listen to my phone Bluetoothed, but I'll buy a new car when this one literally rusts out from under me (2003 Civic).

Consider getting a Bluetooth radio adapter.

Yeah, he basically fell heavily into that pit and has done a lot of crazy ranting on twitter. (A good chunk of which he ends up deleting afterwards.) By all reports he's incredibly wealthy and profoundly and deeply unhappy.

I ended up voting at Eastland the other weekend. I decided it wasn't worth putting up with the potential-voter-intimidation nightmare that McLean County might just turn into on the 8th. Hope you can post your experiences after it's all said and done. My hunch is that it'll be just fine because it's not like Illinois is a toss-up, Duckworth seems like a lock, the district is like 60/40 Red anyways, and most of the local Republicans are running unopposed. But who even knows anymore.

I absolutely believe the writer is sincere, as the whole area is mostly controlled by the First Baptist Church (whose former head pastor, Robert Jeffress, is lovingly in the tank for Trump after being against him. No, seriously, gently caress this guy.

I spent middle school and half of high school attending Jeffres' congregation with my parents. Coincidentally, that's the same time I completly lost my faith.

My parents have loosened up quite a bit since I graduated high school and they now attend much less obnoxious churches. We've all moved elsewhere and I don't have much of a connection left to Wichita Falls, but I absolutely agree that the letter was sincerely written and heartfelt.
