Official 2018 US Election thread

[FORD]

And let's kick it off with a text I got last night, supposedly from the Orange Imbecile himself....

POTUS: Election is tomorrow. We need to defeat the liberal mob! ANY GIFT to our Get Out the Vote Fund in the NEXT HOUR will be TRIPLED: http://bit.ly/2qC6IjH

Thankfully, this did NOT come from the Official Presidential Emergency Text channel. Just one of those con artist numbers... the same one who calls your aging relatives and claims to be the "IRS" (who now apparently have an office in Mumbai)

[FORD]

And yes, that is Tommy Chong

[Kristy]

Oh, that's fucking great. slave FORD is going to keep us all "informed" with that F A T asshole and his annoying Stepford Armenian sidekick. Well, we're fucked. Maybe 2020?

[Kristy]

Let me know when this pea-brained fuckstick bothers to show up

[FORD]

Well, TYT is apparently streaming live all day, starting at about 11:00 AM, so I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy Dore shows up at some point, so they can rotate various people in and out of the panel all day.

Jimmy hasn't been on the daily TYT show for a while though. He seems to keep busy with the "Aggressive Progressive" episodes & his own show.

TYT Live Election Coverage - should be good for all day until 11 PM or so

[Kristy]

More like the "Farted Retarded"

And here comes the election fraud......

'This is suppression': Voting machines with missing power cords force hundreds of black Georgia voters to wait

Hundreds of voters were stuck in line at one Georgia precinct on Tuesday after election officials failed to provide power cords for the voting machines.

One man explained the situation as he captured video of what appeared to be mostly African-American voters stuck in a long line.

“Election day started an hour ago in my neighborhood and we don’t have cords to plug in the voting machines,” the man said. “We all knew that voting was today and only in my neighborhood people are waiting an hour after the polls open to vote. And [election officials] are saying that we don’t have power cords.”

“The building is full of power, no power cords,” the man noted. “All of these dedicated people waiting to vote. This is what we call voter suppression. This is what we go through to vote.”

The Atlanta Journal Constitution confirmed that the Helene S. Mills precinct in Old Fourth Ward had a “power cord issue.”

Fulton County spokesperson April Majors later insisted that the problem had been resolved.

“It’s up and operating now,” Majors remarked. “Patience is key.”

Gwinnett County Director of Communications Joe Sorenson also told NBC News that officials had identified a problem with power cords in one precinct.

“The machine was not supplied power and was running on battery & the battery ran out,” Sorenson said.

NBC News has confirmed that the issue at Anderson Livsey Elementary in Snellville, GA was indeed a lack of power cords.

The Republicans are winning the Senate in the worst election map for Demcrats since the Civil War. But the Dems are going to crush the House. They have 199 vs. 178 for Repubs right now...

[FORD]

The Senators who lost tonight were idiotic corporatist DINOs who vote with Repukes on most of the important issues, so it's not like their replacements will be voting any different.

On the other hand, it will be interesting to see whether the House Democrats grow a collective set of balls and appoint all the leadership positions directly from the Progressive Caucus. If they want to hold on to their majority past 2020, they damn well better do that.
