Well on the one hand, the President orders his AG to jail the previous President and his chief political rival, while refusing to commit to the peaceful transition of power.... but on the other hand, Keith Olbermann called Trump a mean name in a tweet...

Great stuff from “Both Sides” Mitt

Nice rhetoric from Mitt. I guess he thinks people have forgotten that just a couple weeks ago he himself was presented with the option to help “lower the heat” and vote to hold off on seating an EXTREMELY controversial SC justice during the obviously already contentious election, and chose to take a pass on that opportunity.

Early voting starts here in TN tomorrow. I probably won’t have time to go vote until Friday, but am still interested to see if we have lines here. I doubt it, as I’ve never had more than a couple people in front of me any time I’ve ever done early voting. Think I might have waited 5-10 minutes one year when I actually went on Election Day.

I voted today.

This number is approximately 10% of ballots cast in Harris County and greater than 1% of all ballots cast in Texas in the entire 2016 election.

Looks like a done deal

National polls are meaningless .

it is NOT a done deal

Exactly. Theres only about 4-5 states where him leading by a lot matters. Biden could win by 10m votes and still not "win" the presidency.

I'm afraid there is going voter suppression in other ways after the results of the Census. The ruling yesterday by the Supreme Court pretty much guarantees that there will not accurate head count before it ends tomorrow, thus many people will be disenfranchised. After all, the Census determines the number of seats in the House of Representatives each state gets, Electoral College votes and an estimated $1.5 trillion a year in federal tax dollars for health care, education and other public services. Just when one thinks that things can't get worse in our country then we get slammed by this ruling.

Tomorrow is the last day to complete the census.

The fastest way to fix that is to then repeal that law from the 1915 1914 whatever it is that limited the amount of Representatives each state could have. Have Wyoming be the baseline or whoever the smallest state is in the union and then go out by metrics of that.

Christ that party can't disappear soon enough...
