Wilt stop posting this stuff. I almost choked on my chicken nugget.


You're the one who still listens to his daily new conferences!

More fraud actually does occur with absentee (mail in) voting than in person. It usually favors Republicans, though, so they're traditionally silent about it and focus their energy on creating new hoops and restrictions for the latter.

It's still statistically insignificant.

My state has been doing mail-in voting for years. It's great.

Anyone hear about Trump commanding the Feds to confiscate supply orders from Hospitals after they have ordered them and before receiving them? And in most cases already paid for them??


Hospitals say feds are seizing masks and other coronavirus supplies without a word

WASHINGTON —

Although President Trump has directed states and hospitals to secure what supplies they can, the federal government is quietly seizing orders, leaving medical providers across the country in the dark about where the material is going and how they can get what they need to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

Hospital and clinic officials in seven states described the seizures in interviews over the past week. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is not publicly reporting the acquisitions, despite the outlay of millions of dollars of taxpayer money, nor has the administration detailed how it decides which supplies to seize and where to reroute them.

Officials who’ve had materials seized also say they’ve received no guidance from the government about how or if they will get access to the supplies they ordered. That has stoked concerns about how public funds are being spent and whether the Trump administration is fairly distributing scarce medical supplies.

I heard the counting will not start for a few days or week, at least that is what I think I heard.

Yeah, this election day was a (bleep) show going in. It's going to be an even bigger (bleep) show going out.

I've known that Wisconsin had a gerrymandered legislature, but I never actually checked the numbers until today.

The Democrats won the popular vote in the Assembly by 200,000 in 2018, which is a really big margin in a state the size of Wisconsin. But the Republicans have 63 seats while the Democrats have only 36 seats in the Assembly. They lost the popular vote by 8 percent, but the Republicans have an almost 2 to 1 advantage in seats!

Of course, having a conservative majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court will guarantee that the extreme gerrymandering is kept, which is why they wanted to make sure that election took place yesterday.

Just saw that.

Hope that settles some of the intraparty hostility.

Bernie Bros refuse to do this. They think the DNC is out to make sure Bernie doesn't win.

Focus on the 100,000 people who stayed home in 2016 in Michigan, PA, and Wisconsin rather than those voters.

Not a direct endorsement of Biden today. He is focusing on his supporters. And that's fine. But that endorsement has to come very soon.

Dropping out is still a long ways from giving Biden his support, which is very important if there is going to be any unity going into November.

Didn't Bernie endorse Hilary? Didn't seem to help her much.

A lot of Bernie supporters are Bernie or bust.

I think he will. But he should do it soon and he should be genuine.

There are many in his movement that won't care and won't vote in November, even if Bernie gives the strongest endorsement possible.

Well, he kinda endorsed Biden without using the word. It's more than I expected him to do today.
