Uncertainty is inherently unsustainable. Eventually, everything either is or isn't.

This.

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.

Just ask one.

It'll be even better this year!

After all the candidate has openly, explicitly said the votes were rigged!

No way this could backfire in any way.

I'm enjoying the new Dragon Ball Z Xenoverse game, but you could always play Diablo and imagine you're tearing through Trump surrogates.

As for my live coverage I'm looking forward to the Majority Report coming on in about 45 minutes.

I wish NPR wasn't obnoxiously middle ground, its almost more off putting than people who at least overtly take a side.

As much as I feel this way sometimes too, the thing I try to keep in mind is that the Republicans would LOVE to find any excuse to cut (more) funding for public broadcasting. So playing it a little subtle becomes part of them staying alive.

Clinton is up 8.5% in the markets in Florida, 7.5% in North Carolina, and 5% in Ohio. My friend who has worked on campaigns told me that early exit poll numbers are out but embargoed to the media. It could explain this SIGNIFICANT shift in the markets.

So in my state they have two stickers they print out that are placed on two separate forms before you go to the electronic machine, one of which you sign a line on the sticker once it's placed on a form. These stickers are printed from small printers connected to laptops accessing the registry database, and they break all the loving time. I could see a table with 8 backups on it behind the desk where they were checking registration.
