Hmm florida still has people in line waiting to vote O___O. Wow.

Why did these people not mail in their votes?


The vast majority of voter fraud is through miscounting Absentee ballots, it's probably the best idea not to if you want your vote to count.

I find your proof lacking.


If there were hard evidence then it'd be instantly rooted, but live counting is under heavy surveillance and the staff at each polling station is usually too swamped to go fucking with ballots. It's more a logical conclusion (since voter fraud has and always will happen when there's this volume of voting).

Absentee ballots can literally just be "lost" in the mail before the election day even begins.

Exactly and it's almost always the losing party that makes the claims. Anyway I'd like to just disagree and not discuss it so we don't infringe on the mod note at the top of the thread. I would not like it if either of us were warned.

Is there a website that is careful about waiting until results are nearly final before 'calling' a state for a candidate? From what I've looked at so far it seems like 5 votes have been cast, 3 went to a candidate, and they call it, with 0.00001% reporting.


Fuck that WE GOTTA BE THE FIRST SITE TO CALL IT!!!!1!!

Oh god not that Fox News debacle again.

Pretty much. Older retirees tend to lean Republican, while the non-Cuban minority groups lean mostly Democrat.


Hmmmm, kay. I get minority groups leaning towards the Democrats, not entirely sure why the older generation as a whole would favor the Republicans. (NOT a pro democrat statement, just wondering)

No new taxes! I want the government to keep my hands off my Medicare!

Also those Dems support rights for brown people and the gays, who are obviously a threat to the social fabric of America because

You're living in a fantasy if you think it's viable to close the deficit without tax increases. This sort of uneducated fundamentalism, that tax cuts are bad is what's going to destroy the economy as it gets closer to the fiscal cliff.

The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service published a report showing no correlation between tax cuts and growth. But Republicans made them withdraw the report because it disagree with their political dogma. Here's the report: http://www.dpcc.senate.gov/files/documents/CRSTaxesandtheEconomy Top Rates.pdf

Permanent tax cuts will blow up the deficit, increasing the debt in the long run. And that will be very harmful for the economy in the long run.


I am reasonably sure that was sarcasm. The second paragraph is a rather obvious tell.

No, but I believe he said he is an economics student, which also explains the absence of a sense of humour.

I've done probably 4 or 5 economics courses at uni and pay a lot of attention to economics news and blogs. But I wouldn't say that I'm a economics students, I majored in math.

Obama now down to 1.02 to win Ohio! That is such a small return - if you bet a dollar on Obama then you make 2 cents profit if he wins!

Romney out to 11 to win Ohio! So if you take that bet at 11 for Romney you will make 10 times your stake in profit if Romney wins Ohio!

So this is about as certain of an Obama victory for Ohio that you will see before the bookies actually stop taking bets on the issue because it is a declared certainty. Obama's price cannot shorten anymore.

In the time of writing this, Romney now out to 12 to win Ohio!

Lugar's held that seat for 36 years. It's a big democratic pickup that guarantees a Democratic senate for the next two years, and makes 2014 much easier.

Which is a huge problem because 2016 is not going to go as well as 2010 did especially with what will likely be a better economy and presidential level turnout.

They will if Democrats wake the fuck up and start showing up to midterms and don't sit them out. That's how the crazies all get in power. That's how we got corrupt as fuck Rick Scott in Florida.
