I thought I was gonna be stuck over here in the UK for the election so I requested an electronic ballot, which somehow never arrived. Then I tried to request a FWAB and the system kept fucking crashing on me. Eventually took that as a sign i should just nut up and fucking fly back to Texas and vote in person.
I should correct myself. I actually got my ballot the day after the requests for a ballot in Texas were due. I called before for a new ballot and then I called days later to bitch at them for doing this to me. Then they told me to just come there and vote. This is the 10th person that called them expressing this same sentiment for people whose ballots were sent off the day mine was.

Luckily they said that they would accept my previous ballot.
 
Purely academic question. I keep hearing that the polls have corrected for "Shy Trump Voters" but I can't find any details on how. Are they adding points? Are they getting some sample they know aren't shy somehow? Google is giving me monstrously shit results.
They aren't.

They are releasing Biden +17 in Wisconsin and Biden +6 in Texas with a straight face and still saying the polls are "corrected."

"Corrected" is just a code-word for "stop bringing up how wrong we were in 2016."
 
I voted today. I just saw a post someone tagged me in the post was a pic of them showing how they voted to legalize Recreational Marijuana in their state today. It is so unfair and makes me so angry that my state did not vote to legalize marijuana today. I have been waiting two full years already, since November 2018. And now they say i will have to wait until November 2022 before I can vote on marijuana? This is bullshit
 
Reminder, I think Trump was still leading the popular vote in 2016 at 11:59 pm. I would not sweat the results already. It's like worrying about your fantasy football team at 1:10 pm on a Sunday.
To be fair, midnight is when the dead come out to vote Democrat. If you don't count California in 2016, Trump won the popular vote. Now California has 40 million people living in it, so we can all expect at least 60 million votes for Biden in the sunshine state. They're why the electoral college still exists.
 
How hard is it to call a cunt a cunt? Jesus christ, american media pillocks are so fucking upright about language. Cunts.
Cunt is one of those big "no-no" words that would get you an insta suspension on twitter.
Along with faggot, nigger and to a lesser degree, tranny. The guy just doesnt wanna lose his blue checkmark.
 
Welp, for what it's worth I went to the bookies yesterday and put some of my British pounds on Trump to win, but with less than 300 electoral college votes. I think he will win again but it'll be squeaky. Covid-19 and the perception he has bungled the US's response to it has damaged him, but not irreparably, and the Democrats are making all the same errors (insulting the electorate, reacting to Trump rather than trying to set the conversation or agenda, not communicating their policy platforms well enough, reliance on pandering to the base rather than trying to convince floating voters, the selection of a dreary career politician as candidate) as in 2016.

BBC coverage starts at 11.30 our time. I think I can stay up until then, surely.
 
Bush Sr. Is a really good example. The man laid the smackdown on Iraq and strengthened America's situation in the Pacific and Eastern Europe, but because the economy shit the bed (through no fault of his own) he was soundly defeated.

Bush Sr. was not very good at his debates with Clinton and Perot, though. And the economy didn’t recover under him.

Reagan was lucky because the economy recovered so fast under his first term that it was absolutely certain that he would win a second term.

Trump already has the unemployment cut by at least half since the pandemic started, so that’s something. But anything can happen.
 
I wouldn't call it interesting but there's a ballot measure in WA which looks like an excuse to mandate globohomo sex education by standardizing it at the statehouse, which they insist parents will still be able to opt out of but I trust politicians up here about as far as I can throw them.
The state superintendent of schools is also basically a referendum on the referendum, with the incumbent having written the sex ed referendum in question and the opponent vigorously against it. I voted against it of course; while I'm in favor of sex ed in general, these days the gender weirdoes will be writing it, which must be prevented. The Republican candidate for state insurance commissioner calls himself an "autistic savant" and looks like a possible cow.

we'll see. by default Pennsylvania was definitely an uphill battle for trump, however if trump wins Pennsylvania the people who mocked trump for losing his home state in 2016 will have eggs on their face.
It will be kinda funny to see both presidential candidates lose their home state however.



Right, I'd say every state depends on youth turnout. They rarely ever show up or vote in any significant numbers but perhaps this time it will be different Probably not though.

Trump's home state is Florida. He's not losing that one.
 
Stay away from big cities everyone. It isn't fear mongering to say that hundreds might die tonight from leftist violence. Don't be one of them.
I've noticed both sides posting warnings about possible violence from the other side, as though both sides are a bunch of soccer hooligans.
