Voted in Arlington a few minutes ago. My polling place wasn't packed but there were about 12 people voting which is the norm for the lunchtime crowd. CNN was there filming b roll footage and decided to focus on me while I was casting my ballot...didn't expect that but hey, democracy!

EDIT: Just had a Northam volunteer knock at my door and ask if we remembered to vote. Said yes, and then asked if we voted for Northam. YBF, you guys are not loving around with GOTV this year, good on you guys.

I misread your post and thought the second percentages for each county was turnout as of noon not the entire day. Hopefully this holds.

How hard did your heart drop until you realized the mistake?

My stomach wanted to lurch up the pad thai I just ate, thankfully I quickly realized that I misread it.

I think I'm gonna go on a media blackout at 7 and just binge Overwatch//Wolfenstein and then check returns around 11 or so.

Take deep breaths tonight.

I know it's been said but you've done good no matter what the outcome. Thanks for keeping at it even when the nothing matters crew was out in force.

lol, I figured they would do that or "Hey, maybe Russia really is hacking our elections!"

Hope is a lie though, as nice as it looks, I'm waiting till one of the big three networks calls it.

Important PSA: D majority has not actually happened yet and very well may not happen. Don't move the goalposts for joy too far.

This is true, but 24 hours ago, everyone was certain that this was going to be a 3-4 percent win for Northam at best. Hell, I had heard that the last internal poll from the Northam campaign had him at 2% above Gillispie, so this evening has been incredibly :stare: in all the best possible ways.

It's a bloodbath, majority or not.

Big philosophical touchstone in our group is that Yard Signs Don’t Vote. We tend to put our money into volunteers and GOTV instead, since what we lack in money comparatively, we make up for in human power. So we don’t mind the signs. :)

2016 is looking like the end this country needed it to be. Youth turnout through the roof last night, a massively restocked bench that’s gonna grow into some amazing state/federal candidates in the near/medium term, and a road map.

Yeah I'm really jazzed to see where Fairfax ends up.

Dying that they are playing Teach me How to Dougie at Jones' victory party. You know that's triggering Republicans real hard right now.

I'm not going to start expounding on my personal history due to some dumb internet argument, buddy.

Still, I'm going to give you a free bit of advice, that oughta be kinda uncontroversial: A critical step to reforming an organization is to put people in charge that actually want to reform it. Or at least understand the need.

Some free advice for you.

If you're not willing to expound on what makes you an expert, then maybe don't start dumb internet arguments by claiming you've got practical experience in reforming large organizations and why that makes you more qualified to say that Perez is loving up.

Looking forward to the GOP observer at the coin flip screaming that tails actually means heads because the eagle has a head on it so therefore...

gently caress these people.
