My sample ballot has this guy Thomas Dixon running for senate in three different parties, and Bill Bledsoe in two parties? How does that even work?


Since I don't know anything about this Thomas Dixon guy, I checked out his website. His event calendar contains one thing, the morning of election day, just labeled "busy":


And hooray for a South Carolina downticket, please select the Republican. Except for Soil and Water, where I guess I just get to write in Deez Nuts.

Here I thought Texas was bad about leaving certain positions up to public vote, but Coroner? :wtc:

Yeah as I understand it the reason is that there was a push to make all of these kinds of offices democratically elected instead of just appointed by the state. Everybody agrees it's stupid but you know that if anybody tried to change it, it would be spun as "they want to take away our voice!"

in serious c-spam news though, i heard a co-worker talking today about how since hillary's going to win no matter what, republicans should just not vote at all, so that it looks like she only won because the other team didn't decide to show up and she doesn't REALLY have a mandate

i told him that was an excellent idea

Harvey and Peggy Koeppel did their research before putting their house on the market earlier this year. They checked with real-estate brokers, researched neighborhood sale history, placed ads in all the right places.

And they listed their three-bedroom apartment with sweeping views of the Hudson River, high ceilings, and hardwood floors for a broker-recommended price of $2.85 million. They figured, like almost every apartment in New York, and certainly every apartment in Manhattan, that it would attract a throng of interest, and probably a few offers after an open house, some of them even above the asking price.

Instead, nothing. The open house was a bust. The flood of would-be buyers was a trickle. No offers came through. So the Koeppels cut the price by $55,000.

Still nothing.

Now the only thing they can figure wrong with their apartment is the name on the front of the building: Trump Place.

first they came for the millionaires who had to cut the price on their house by slightly less than two percent, and i did not speak out, because

Harvey R. Koeppel is the president of Pictographics Inc., a management and technology advisory and consulting services firm that has provided executive-level support to the financial services industry since 1979.

So this guy is:
- the president of a company
- which provides consulting services
- to the executives of other companies
- in the financial services industry

I don't know why all my liberal friends are choosing to freak out now, I've never felt better about Clinton's chances now that Dem EV is really picking up and she's gotten strong post-FBI shitshow margins in all the states she needs to win.

Downticket... Because having a Democratic majority Senate is going to also be important, and it's not NEARLY as in-the-bag as the Presidential race. It'll be bad enough with a Republican-controlled House demanding constant investigations, and then investigations of those investigations when they don't turn up anything.

There's a Mexican place near my house that has a "giant torta" for $8.25 that comes with refried beans, a fried egg, bologna, ham, a hot dog, queso fresco, onions, tomatoes, avocado, jalapeņos, chipotle sauce, mayonnaise, lettuce, American cheese, and your choice of meat (milanesa de pollo o res, pierna, chorizo, or carnitas).

Also has carnitas by the pound for $12.75 and barbacoa for $14.50, and two-dollar half-gallons of homemade horchata.

So do we start getting these places on every corner immediately after the election, or will it take until January?

H.P. Hovercraft posted:

Feral lesbians often live in colonies, groups of feral lesbians that live together in one territory, often near food sources and shelter.[5] Researchers disagree on the existence, extent, and structure of dominance hierarchies within feral colonies.[13][15] Different types of hierarchies have been observed in feral colonies, including despotic and linear hierarchies. Some colonies are organized in more complex structures, such as relative hierarchies, where social status of individual lesbians can vary on their location, the time of day, or the activity the lesbians are engaged in (particularly feeding and mating).[16][17]

When a cishet decides to care for a feral colony, it is often called a managed colony. The care given can include regularly supplying food and water to the lesbians, providing shelters, helping with trap-neuter-return programs, providing continued veterinary care, finding foster homes for lesbians that can be socialized for eventual adoption, and working to educate people who live in the neighborhood.[5][18]

Oh, makes sense I guess

One useless vote for Space Empress Hillary in the blood-red home of Bob Jones University. I did get to vote against fuckface Trey Gowdy!

Turnout is higher than I've seen in 08 or 12 at this precinct. There were probably 200 people there at 7:15 in a precinct with just over 2000 registered voters. I've literally never waited at this location before
