US Midterm Election watch along thread

Reply to Off-Topic Post Hidden

So it is a big-tent party then?

There were varying viewpoints among primary candidates and then the winner got enough backing from the democratic voters to win his general election.

I don’t understand this ballot “curing” by an outside organization. I assume this is to fix things like failure to sign the ballot envelope or the signature doesn’t match the one on file from the registration. In Oregon, that kind of thing is fixed by the Elections Office which calls voters and asks them to come in to make things right.

However, I understand some states don’t do that, but just disqualifies those ballots. But I hadn’t heard of a state letting a third party do the fixing.

Warning for Bootb.
I didn’t add all those Staff notes to posts to be ignored and an official Moderation Post.

Modnote for @DeadTreasSecretaries, I’m going to assume you missed all the staff notes and my post. But this is pretty borderline.

Clark County (at least, maybe all NV counties) provides a list of people whose ballots need to be cured. So the Culinary Union looks to see whose ballots need curing, cross-references that to the Dem party registration list and then makes an effort to notify those people and assist them in getting their ballots/signatures corrected.

My understanding is that the RNC is doing something similar but more via text messages than a boots-on-the-ground operation.

Trump says they stole the electron from Blake Masters. He’s positive!

He’s also claiming that NV is stealing the vote from Laxalt which I guess speaks well of everyone’s math on how NV is heading :wink:

This is ion-clad. Let’s hope somebody gets charged over this.

Culinary Union says they’ve reached out to 5,100 people in Clark County about getting their ballots cured. Clark County says that they’ve had 7,000 ballots cured so far and 7k more remain.

I found the initial post on this very confusing. I thought a kitchen group had a project to smoke bacon or ham, and didn’t see how it fit into this thread. :slightly_smiling_face:

Honey-cured ballots with a side of Schadenfreude. Yum.

I do find amusement in the fact that a gentleman named bill gates is in charge of the Arizona vote.

The sheriff of maricopa county is giving a presser due to protests outside the counting centre. There is and will be a law enforcement presence at the counting centres until the counting is done.

Lander County NV has released a batch of seven ballots! Laxalt now +1 over an hour ago!

Do they want them to stop counting? I think Katie Hobbs would be OK with that.

I enjoyed his chiding.

There have been small outbreaks of violence happening. I think they have all been spontaneous and independent of each other (as much as is possible) but organized violence would not surprise me at all.

I’ve been watching the local social media and rational discourse has gone out the window.

Isn’t that +0.1%?

  • Adam Laxalt R 468,437 votes 48.5%

  • Catherine Cortez Masto D 467,575 votes 48.4%

No, Laxalt gained a net one vote from that drop. :smiley:

One voter at a time, one voter at a time…
