Jerry Manderbilt posted:https://twitter.com/CATargetBot/status/1063235610687692800  Even Young Kim might lose now. She was ahead almost the entire time they were tabulating votes. Does this mean a bitch tweet from Trump or does he say gently caress it because it was an Asian woman if things stay the way they are? Either way I love how much the Democrats continued to run up the score for the midterms. It feels like almost everyone Trump bragged about winning because of him has now ultimately lost anyway almost just to spite the guy. Does anyone have a tally of how many people he endorsed just fell flat on their face as of now. I feel like it was something like 9 of 37 or something actually won their races and that was before some of them well...didn't.

D.C. votes to restrict short term rentals like AirBnB So the D.C. Council passed a bill to restrict renting your home out for services like AirBnB. If I am reading this right, you have to actually live in the home in order to rent out through services like AirBnB. Overall I think this is a net positive because in the Bay Area I know there are slum lordy types that buy up housing and renovate it to be used for these types of services and skirt the regulations for motels, hotels, and other hospitality industries. Also, excuse me while I laugh uproariously that some critics are whining that you can't use your second home for short-term rentals now. gently caress you if you have a second home that sits empty most of the time and there are people in D.C. that have no home. A lot of other states and cities are following suit with laws like this too. Hence why I put it in this thread.

It appears that the Florida "undervote" problem was ballot design, not machine error. As a practical matter, this means that it is incredibly unlikely that Nelson will prevail in the hand recount, because his only realistic path to winning was for those undervotes to actually be machine errors that could get counted on a hand recount: https://twitter.com/pemalevy/status/1063445440782311425

friendbot2000 posted:D.C. votes to restrict short term rentals like AirBnB many of the nice neighborhoods near downtown New Orleans are hollowed-out shitholes filled with 20something people partying, because AirBnB means you can make your year's mortgage payment from approximately six weeks total of rentals during mardi gras/jazzfest season. any additional rentals outside festival season are just profit they're doing token regulations now, but they're bullshit meant solely to defuse local protests, and the damage is probably too severe for the local housing stock to recover in the next decade.

The analysis a court will basically do is "well, anything you're pointing to you challenged beforehand and courts oked it, or you knew was the case and let the election go forward anyway without challenging it, so...no." No court is going to be interested in doing this, even if we are all aware the election was a farce.

Trumpism was slaughtered in the midterms and he is lashing out at everyone because it could not possibly be because of him. This is a huge national level failure that he can't make go away with lawsuits and bluster so he is deeply embarrassed because he may have caught a glimpse deep down in his brain-worm subconscious that the emperor is indeed wearing no clothes.

This is problematic too, here in Ohio people were saying that the ballot machine spit it back out at them with an "are you sure?" type message for leaving something blank. I forget the details (I voted early) but they were saying it seemed quite possible to miss it or somehow gently caress it up.

Scantron machines don't always prompt you to check for an undervote. The better models do. The worse ones (like, say, in counties which can't afford new equipment) just scan them and it's done. Digital and hybrid models always have you double check.
