Politics & Elections

I wanted to make this thread tomorrow, but I will be working at the polls starting at 6AM. It’s going to be a long 16 hour day for me, but I will have frequent breaks, so I can check in here to see how things are going.

There are so many threads in the “Elections” forum, that I thought it would be nice to have one thread to check for election day results.

Post your real-time state updates, interesting things seen at the polls, or anything else having to do with election day 2016.

I will be very glad when this is over. What a ride it’s been.

I just want to tell you good luck. We’re all counting on you.

From here in London suffering from the consequences of our own Trump-like vote earlier this year, let us be an example for you to avoid. Good luck.

4

Surely you can’t be serious?

5

He is.

6

And don’t call him Shirley.

Airplane! quote fail reported.

:smiley:

8

Be nice you. :stuck_out_tongue:

This has been a different kind of campaign, altogether.

This has been a different kind of campaign
(PS - good luck tomorrow Honey)

I’m going to give this thread my official imprimatur. I’d planned to open one tonight.

I will do so for both the House and the Senate as well.

12

I will just be sitting at a desk all day, crossing people’s names off the list. I’m sure I’ll be bored out of my mind at times. My little village has a population of about 4,000 and there are 4 different polling locations.

I really shouldn’t have added that part about me working the polls in my OP. I don’t want this thread to be about me. I just wanted to explain why I created the thread a day early. Thank you for the well wishes though.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Don’t let anything keep you from voting.

13

May I suggest one for state proposals as well?

14

I think that’s a good idea.

15

I will be on edge all night. I’m going to try to watch Mad Max: Fury Road, but I’ll be on the internet . I told my wife it will serve as a preview of the world if Trump wins.

:smiley:

Thank you for your support. I didn’t mean to step on anyone’s toes.

17

You’re a lot more optimistic than I about female empowerment in that world.

I’m getting up tomorrow morning at 4:18 to start working at the polls at 5 AM.

If there is a line out the door at 9 PM, we’ll be staying late. In 2014 I got out around 10:20 PM. I’m guessing about seventeen to seventeen and a half hours for me. Long freaking day and I won’t have the energy to party after.

Just saying - if you vote tomorrow and the poll worker looks sleepy, you’re right.

I’ve talked about this with several friends. We can’t decide whether we want to watch the play-by-play, blow-by-blow, drop-by-drop (cf. Chinese water torture-- are we allowed to say that? Is it now Asian water torture?) or just crawl under the covers around 5:00 pm on Tuesday with a fifth of something and not look at TV or internet until about 11:00 am on Wednesday. This is going to be difficult. Like 24-hour labor.

I’ll have to see the full official text of your suggestion, as well as an opposing view written by an appropriate party before I can decide if I support this.
