Unfortunately we had to count the other guy who just wrote TURMP across his ballot because his vote was clear.

Here’s a vote for Biden in Ohio.



I voted by mail in the same county. I've been running a joke "poll" where I take my dog on walks in random neighborhoods and count the signs then compare that to the 2016 results. If that's even remotely close to accurate, Trump lost a lot of support in the western suburbs.

Anthony was a radical abolitionist who organized a vigil for John Brown on the day of his execution. She herself assisted fugitive slaves. She openly called for full integration, including black suffrage.

She was also a socialist, so the lib worship is still pretty off-base, but she wasn't a racist by any standard.

Yes, if the option resolves to true your shares of that option become worth $1 (and the inverse if you buy "no" shares)

Today I learned there are far more NoVa goons than I expected.

Yeah, the restaurants around here are pretty drat good. Hell, Five Guys started as a thing local to NoVa before they exploded everywhere.

One thing I learned is that pretty much every Vietnamese noodle place in NoVa is really good, so if you like pho or pho-adjacent things, this is a good place to get it.

Five Guys > Elevation.

Elevation burgers are still good, and I wouldn't turn them down, but given the option I'll take Five Guys.

Having voting machines and not just a paper ballot/box is unfathomable to me as a non american. Like, why?

Also I got 1.55 odds on a Biden victory yesterday from various sports bettings sites (55 cents for every dollar) and put on a lot of money so uh, don't let me down America

Depends on where you are. Some places don't allow photography in the polling area. I remember some social media junkies getting poo poo about this last cycle.

america is a total mess of overlapping jurisdictions which all have different things on the ballot on election day so you can't just print off like ten million ballots, but between ten and a hundred thousand copies of a hundred different ballots, and then make sure that someone who lives in Dipshit State, Bugfuck County, District 14 gets the correct ballot and not the one for District 15 so they can vote on the correct mosquito control commissioner, usually an unopposed incumbent

this year i voted on a machine which printed out a paper ballot which i fed into a scanner, so that was nice

Electronic voting is totally fine and a lot more convenient/faster to count as long as you have machines that actually, you know, work. Seems like something you should test beforehand

90% of the time in cases like this it's the poll workers loving up somehow. they tend to be older folks volunteering their time so you're counting on boomers who go to google.com so they can type full urls into the google search bar as the technicians to properly set up all the machines

Ah man, I brainfarted because I'm in so many markets. Yes, please bet YES, not NO there. A NO bet means every poll is wrong everywhere, basically, while YES means Biden will at least get, say, Michigan, much less anything else.

So basically, you make 18 cents on every dollar you put in (up to the max amount) if you let it ride. You can also sell shares early as the market fluctuates.
