You got off easy. I had to slit a goat's throat while uttering a guttural prayer to the darkest places, then fill in the ballot with its blood using a quill made from the finger-bone of a Christian. They were running low on goats at the polling place already, and I voted early. Real inefficient system.

Did you get your "I GOATED" sticker at least?

I'll ask again. Any good play-by-play election coverage I can stream today? I want something to listen to at work because too much thread reading = fired

NPR is your best free bet.

If you have cable (or someone is willing to give you their login credentials) you can watch CNN live at go.cnn.com

That's it, as far as I know.

Christ, has America heard of a loving pencil? It'd be cheaper than the goat at least. I mean, okay, my pencil was made out of the ashes of Christian saints when I voted against One Nation in Australia but still.

The flip side to elections not being federalized is that plenty of places do use pens.

The touchscreen thing actually does have an advantage, though: those usually have an accessibility mode for blind people, letting them vote independently.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Because it's worded as if it's enacting a mandatory retirement age of 75 instead of no retirement requirement, when it's actually raising it from 70 to 75. http://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/brian-oneill/2016/10/23/Brian-O-Neill-column-for-Opinion-27/stories/201610230137
Oh. Well, gently caress, I would have voted yes if I'd known that -- mandatory retirement is stupid but if we already have it, making it later is better. Too bad.

Also I was wrong in my earlier post, it was +2 for the good guys in PA because my mom came with me :3:, she's very excited for today.

For that they cite cost and of course, more voter fraud because the more opportunity to vote the more chances for fraud!

These are the same people who think Democrats bus groups of black people to multiple polling stations to run up the vote.

Any time a Republican has ever lost an election at any level at any point in the history of this country, it's been because of massive, widespread voter fraud on unprecedented levels.

Any time a Republican has ever won, it's been the will of the people.

Today on twitter I was told that not only has Hillary been proven to rig the election but Trump is going to win. I guess she didn't want to be President?
