Apparently, there were large-scale machine outages in Durham County, NC around lunch-time today.

I'm really glad that Canada has the old paper ballot system across the entire country. Every state having their own way of counting votes is loving baffling to me.

My state reverted back to paper ballots this election, which is fine just having two sheets and then waiting for the double-sided scanner before you leave. Something tells me that wouldn't work out so well in California with it's umpteen amendments to vote on.

Anyone have any suggestions who to contact about navigating the complexities of the Tennessee voter ID laws? I have a friend who moved to TN recently from FL, isn't registered as a TN voter, still has her FL drivers licence and the line at the DMV is so long she won't get through it before the polls close.

Is she completely hooped? She asked about a Provisional Ballot but was denied one as she's not a registered Tennessee voter.

Yeah, paper seems like a harder sell since you guys vote on everything. Our ballot is literally just the MP candidates (of which there can be like 20+ in some places but still).

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.

I assume Clinton is winning then?

I've got to second the recommendation for the hexcells series. Good chill puzzle, good sound. First two games are all handcrafted, third proc gens the puzzles- good but not as good.

Personally, I'm taking part in the Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup tournament. Nothing says 2016 fatalism like roguelike permadeath.

Photos of your own ballot are straight up illegal (in some states--not all, I don't think). I believe the original intent was anti-discriminatory, to stop "prove you voted R or you're fired" type stuff
