This.  I recall a panicked look on the face of an election-day reporter in 2016 when Philly delivered under 85% to HRC.  Philly is the canary in a coalmine, to an extent.

Go Kamala but why are you still asking me for money? Five fucking emails this morning already. How is another $5 gonna help you on Election Day? Ready for this shit to be over already.

HRC got 71.6% in 2016; Biden got 55.4% in 2020.  Hope this does not portend an outcome.

Atlanta, 63 degrees with some light morning drizzle, warming to 70 and sunny.  In other words, in an hour a chamber of commerce day, no excuses.

Regarding Chili’s- there is one in seaside but I am not doing that to my stomach as I’m running a half this weekend and need clean digestion.  I’ll drink tonight and then the alcohol stops too .

On a serious note: are you going to slap a warning to all the chuckle fucks who have spent the last 4 years saying “don’t CR X” who are going to come pouring into the thread after 7 or just let the chips fall where they may?

On a personal note, I’m going dark this evening to self care and medicate and will tune back in 9:30-ish EST. 

Who was the absolutely unhinged guy that started spaz posting in 2020 before the good news started rolling in? I think T Tom was already gone by then

On our AM trader call, our chief economist basically said a Trump victory would hasten the demise of the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency due to the fall of the US Economy (negative 1.5% GDP in the first year or two). So, if you are an economics only voter, that shoudl be enough to have you pull the lever for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

It really should and this has been hugely underreported on.  Gotta get those culture war clicks.

What looks to be a white guy, wearing an Augusta National jacket voting for Kamala in a swing state. It's going to be a fucking landslide!

In Texas, white guy going to meet O&G client,
already voted for Harris, former country club R.

ok stupid question that I'm too afraid to ask at this point - I just saw a clip of JD Vance getting out of a car to go cast his own vote.

 

Is Donald Trump able to vote in this election?

He can vote in Florida which defers to the law of the state in which the conviction occurred. New York allows felons to vote if they are not currently incarcerated.

Cabo Wabo has been pretty good on the drive bys, he's my dark horse. NOt sure we'd see Fatty, but those two losers who showed up recently, something like Horns75 or Stros21 would be safe bets. I probably got their handles wrong becuase I don't fucking care.

He's always nervous AF. That's his natural state.

I know some people get mandatory time off to vote on E-Day only (my work doesn't give time off for early voting, just E-Day).

Early update on polling lines in metro Atlanta is that the wait times are short.  That doesn't mean light either, Dekalb County alone has over 100 polling stations.  As much as I disagree with the Republicans running our elections, I have to give credit where it's due, this has been organized and well operated.  I expect that after tonight, with quick returns, Georgia will become the model of how to run this.  If you are going to be critical, you have to be fair, and they have done a good job with this.  It's not entirely partisan, but Rafspenger has done a good job.

My guess is after 2020 Rafsperger and maybe even Kemp basically said "I'm not interested in being the center of attention again. Lets make sure this shit gets fucking counted, and done right, and called early."

Wonder who Rafspenger votes for.

Trump wins and he and I will be in the same gulag.

One reason I have Florida somewhat flipped is because of abortion being on the ballot and it requires 60%.

Don't look at the early numbers there.  Woof.

But granted, it's early.  But if the GOP is just sinking votes in FL at the expense of northern states becoming bluer, I'll take it.

That's probably part of it, but if there is a political play here, I think it's the being able to show the flex of "hey, we get shit done right here."  Competence sells, and they are right about that.

Don't agree with all his views, but the country would be in a much better place if all Republicans were like Raffensperger.

I am going to be so fascinated to see the percentage of registered GOP voters who voted democrat this election when today is over.
