Reconstruction was a colossal failure and that's a big part of why our country is so hosed up today. The rest is because capitalism.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Uh, a seventeen feet tall LEO stalking around a voting booth seems like voter intimidation to me.


Realtalk, I'm just gonna avoid the internet, go to bed, throw in Free State of Jones (cheers to whoever posted that earlier), fall asleep, and then wake up for some results at 4am before going to work. Might even have to pop a diphenhydramine to make this 'sleep' thing happen

I think Scott Walker is my third least favorite elected official after Trump and Cruz (Cruz being number 1, because at least Trump occasionally has moments of hilarious self awareness). What person hoping to run the most powerful country on Earth brags about his lack of education.

Just voted. Feel good but I know a lot of dumbshit is gonna pass. San diego basically has a "this or that" option for our old stadium that gives private investors carte blanche. Ones for Soccer City (yeah...lets TRY to get an MLS team here?) Or SDSU expansion that doesnt expand campus and allows for private investors! Both allow leasing the land until 2099 for a minimum of 10k. Id go take out a loving loan right now and set up shop if I could.

like the rest of her platform is boilerplate stuff you'd expect someone running for school board to be about, but if the first thing on your platform you want to tell people about is "preserving the Washington-Lee High School's name", kinda says it all.

I can’t speak for Texas law, but this is absolutely not the case in Florida and many other states.

People repeat this belief, but it isn’t true in most (if any) places.

If the exit polls are insanely overwhelming they'll start calling races within 10-15 minutes of polls closing. Otherwise you have to wait anywhere from an hour to a day or longer depending on the state and the narrowness of the victory.

So you can expect madness to start in about an hour and a half.

Leon county FL is running around 6000 votes an hour and will end with around 12k votes less than 2016. I have no idea if this is good or bad but there are a looooooot of people voting.
