Election Day Thread

You do know that Philly has voting districts in it that have a voter turnout rate of over 100% every time? It is like Chicago,one of the places in the USA (there are not many) where voter fraud is very real.

Hint 100% is near impossible, someone dies in given year. 115% is way past what can happen without fraud.

Go down the rabbit hole! All the way. This is easily my favorite amplifier I’ve ever played (so far), I got the chance to try it at a master class with Vai and it took me about 30 seconds to decide to buy one. It’s about the weight of a lunch box but it’s all tube and 100 W made in the USA power. And unless you need death metal levels of distortion, the tone is just fucking gorgeous.

Hey, I have love for the M35 too. Great sounding piece.

Yep, heard about that frivolous lawsuit. Durham county is the county in question–some question of foul play by local GoP. Huh. Haven’t got the whole story so not sure what the whole story is.

EDIT–the Durham NC country polls will stay open longer, court hearing decided. There’s one other key county as well but didn’t hear the name

I’m not saying that you’re wrong in general.

I am saying that a reddit thread with a picture of a bus in it does not equal proof that truckloads of black people from New York were brought into Philly to vote today, lol.

Are election officials allowed to wear this stuff?

Unreal

No but laughing it off is what is always done when they get caught. And it is not as uncommon as you would think.

Statistical nerd boys have trouble reading grey area.

Their whole world is black and white

The problem is that while you can prove fraud. But you cant prove what why they voted and it is almost impossible to track down who did it. Ballots are confidential

In addition to the nice, very smooth-for-an-EL34 sound, you can also change the tube biasing with a simple switch of a button to 6L6, pop the tubes in and get that sound.

Interesting choice, counselor.

Statisticians, myself included, are often the ones trying to explain the concepts of probability and uncertainty, explaining that things often are not as they seem, usually pointing out the necessity of context…

You’re the one who posted a reddit thread with a random photo of a bus in it as proof that there’s voter fraud happening right now. I mean, if I walked outside this minute and took a picture of a random city bus right now and posted it with the caption ā€œVOTERS BUSED INTO PITTSBURGH TO VOTE TRUMPā€ it would be an equally credible story to that thread. But I’m the one who has trouble reading grey area?

How do you know they’re election officials?

*EDIT: besides ā€œthe lunatic fringe alt-right site where I got the photo said soā€

LOL. Statistics is pretty much nothing except probability and gray area. Good lord

No, YOU’RE THE PUPPET

Trump trailing Rubio’s percentages in both GoP and Dem leaning counties in Florida. When he’s winning he’s winning by less, when he’s losing he’s losing by more.

Is that the new thing, Alt Right? Last year it was Tea Party, it all tends to be bull shit.

No, there really are some kooks that have latched on to the party. White supremacy type kooks.

I like normal kooks. The alts aren’t normal kooks.

But Rubio is killing his opposition this not a hard race for him. Trump is up 50.1% to 47.9? with 65% of the voter counted. Not that I have any idea what is left to count

I’m going to need a reputable citation here, Verne, to believe this is anything other than info gleaned off of an email chain letter.

There always are. Ever notice the violent freaks on the left, who are in the Democratic party?

538 reporting some interesting findings: fear is a much bigger motivator this year than previous elections (not really a surprise but interesting to see numbers put to it)

Also unsurprisingly, the gender gap is showing signs of being a MUCH bigger spread than before.
