We voted this morning. No lines. Poll workers waiting for people to help.
My son got a round of applause for being a first time voter.
I thought I read the other day that Trump removed some protection from the wolves.
He did. They are no longer considered endangered so it is even more vital now that the sovereign State of Colorado protects them.
That’s a different way to get more fiber in your diet.
Oh can I butter him?
right, I posted too quicky. But I just overheard Trump on the TV down the hall, he said that, in “Trump areas”, I didn’t catch the state, the lines of people voting streched for miles. Not sure if that was cumulative miles, or at all locations.
The FBI is investigating robocalls encouraging voters to stay home. Some of them have a somewhat cryptic message, “Hello. This is just a test call. Time to stay home. Stay safe and stay home.” Residents in Democratic-leaning Flint, MI have received a more overt one recommending they vote tomorrow to avoid long lines.
I got that “just a test” call yesterday. I looked it up and saw that Australia and Canada had similar calls in March and April. Here’s a Reddit thread from the Calgary sub, which I found after getting the call yesterday.
If the intention really is to trick people into staying home during the vote, maybe that was a trial run.
I remember when Urban Outfitters – at the behest of their very conservative CEO – began selling this shirt in the run-up to election day:
I’ve said for my entire adult life … these people aren’t generally stupid. They’re evil.
I’d leave that honor to Hillary because she’s the expert in buttery males.
Sure, long as I get to stick the fork in.
Oh, and right before lunch. Thanks, Hari. 
Before FB “censored” the post, my wife saw on one of my magat relatives’ page a re-post calling for the current occupant of the Oval Office to be “America’s Lord Protector”.
So, this is how your girlfriend breaks the news that she’s joined a group of escorts?
Add kakistocracy to the mix and you get even 3 for 1! Best shit ever!
I just wish we’d reintroduce wolves, hungry ones, to Washington DC. If enough of the right people get eaten we may even take our country back from the Trumplies.
It’s almost 5:00 p.m. here on the east coast. I’ve been anticipating the election for so long that I’m sitting here at work worrying that I’ve forgotten something.
Yes, I voted. I dropped off my absentee ballot over a week ago. The online checker for my state confirms that it was received, but that’s all they tell me. They don’t tell me if it was accepted or not.
In retrospect, I kind of wish I’d waited to vote in person, but was worried about waiting to vote, too, in case there were any Election Day shenanigans or protests, or if I got sick, or hit by a bus…
So now I sit here wishing there was something I could do.
I may have missed it, but in case nobody pointed this out, you’ve left out the 8 states west of the Dakotas and east of WA/OR/CA: including Montana, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming.
Also, what are you planning to do about Alaska and Hawaii?
That’s the Neutral Zone.
Sell them and use the profits to buy Greenland.
