Are we going to start seeing exit polls before the voting ends? This time difference sucks.

The media usually has preliminary exit polls and will start dropping wink-nod hints around 5 PM, but they're careful about not reporting top-line numbers. Actual exit polls will be released once polls close (and we can reverse vote percentages from them.)

Ah, yes, the secret Bernie-Kasich Axis begins to bear fruit.

“Hillary’s too brittle, and Bernie’s way out here on the extreme. I’m the right porridge,” Kasich said, tapping himself on the chest. “One of them is too hot, the other is too cold. But I got the right temperature.”

The Tough on Crime and Welfare Reform bills that occurred during the Clinton administration are also only acknowledged as harming minority communities in retrospect, at the time a lot of minorities were in favor of those policies so they don't usually associate the Clintons with those policies' long-term side effects the way you might expect.

This is especially true of the 1994 crime bill - it passed the House on a voice vote. Republicans supported it, Blue Dog dems supported it, the Congressional Black Caucus supported it, Bernie Sanders supported it.

why are felons not allowed to vote (in certain states)?

i'm not sure that's constitutional.

14th amendment, fam.

quote:

Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

stripping the right to vote for criminal behaviour is explicitly constitutional.
