Election Day Thread

So if Trump wins…will the election still have been a rigged one?

A topic best suited for after the election results are in

Dude, you gotta learn how to disagree without being disagreeable.

Make a claim, and the burden is on you to back it up, not to demand someone prove you wrong. We play grown up rules around here.

Dude I’m constantly insulted.

I give as good as I get

Actually, not really.

Dude not when The Claim I made is widely known. most people know about Philadelphia and voter fraud.

Exactly. Someone posted earlier a gizmodo link of every technical problem they had found, and it is instructive that it occurs on both sides.

To be clear, I’m not saying voter fraud doesn’t happen or doesn’t matter. I’ve had a long track record now of being in favor of voter ID specifically to help combat it. But, on the other hand, we are not in any way nearly as bad as any other country, except maybe Britain. Voter fraud is a much bigger problem in other countries–developed countries mind you.

In other news it’s mildly entertaining that a 375 of Jameson looks almost exactly and is sized almost exactly like a beer bottle in my hand, which has caught a number of people off guard.

“What beer is that?”

“Seriously?”

Me: Yes.

Yeah. I like disagreeing with some of you guys. SMH is the best.

Like Don Rickles, but meaner!

Right?? Since I can’t like any posts for another hour apparently (side note: seriously T-Nation?), I have to quote to post.

I’ve never been angry with any person for disagreeing. Only for 2 things: being disagreeable and being stupid (we all have major blind spots so I’m not trying to throw stones–I mean more universally ignorant or stupid)

No kidding. A good SMH rant is always entertaining. Verbiage I don’t usually get to see

I would disagree. I actually did not know this existed except for hearing about it. In my humble opinion people should assume most of these kinds of things aren’t necessarily widely known. But I’m an academic so my SOP and perspective is a bit different than many.

Trump won Texas. Weren’t people ripping on Trump being so terrible a candidate he would turn Texas into a swing state?

Goddam Florida looks close, Trump winning by 100k votes, more than 90% of the vote already in.

nailbiter, this is going to be a Long night.

What it seems to me is, solid blue states look more light blue.

Virginia too. I’d guess he’ll sweep the coal belt, but eh… PA and OH are dicey.

One of the questions we have pondered the past few weeks has been answered.

This will not be a blowout election by any stretch.

Why?

As has been the case since he announced he was running…Trump is defying all “expectations”.

I was going to comment on Virginia, the fact that it’s not already in the bag this early for Democrats is telling.

Fuck. Trump’s gonna win.

It’s quite interesting to me.

Virginia is much more red than I expected, but they have a lot of heavily populated Dem counties still to report.
