Welp, Prop 22 passed

We had a pantry moth problem a couple of years ago and they were a huge bitch to completely get rid of

I dunno why it didn't link, but there was just a big GA shift

Take a breath

Pot ballot measures winning everywhere. Decriminalizing psychedelics won in DC. People more often then not vote for good policies. They don't vote for good candidates as much. Longstanding problem with the Democratic party for sure, and the media too.

I'm not sure anybody predicted Biden getting rinsed in Florida but winning Ohio. Maybe nobody actually knows anything.

I've been significantly more worried than I was since that Kavanaugh dissent last week that seemed designed to lay the groundwork for stopping the count of mail-in ballots.

Man, I would love to see an early call of Texas that makes any attempt to fuck with the ballot counting in other swing states immediately untenable, but it just feels like it's way too much to hope for.

Yeah, I think it's the randomness of Jeb making that posture when he's the most milquetoast boring guy you can imagine, combined with the fact that he was seen as the early frontrunner for 2016 and ended up getting absolutely destroyed

Happy to be proven wrong, but this just seems like being in denial about how far gone the federal courts are. They don't seem to care about what any established legal precedent says, so I don't see why they would care what the state Supreme Court says. That circuit court opinion about the Minnesota ballots cited Kavanuagh's dissent from like 2 days beforehand that was full of errors, one of which Kavanaugh actually admitted and corrected. They're just making it up as they go!

Uhh... so everyone's focused on the court cases, but maybe they're planning on stealing votes much more literally?

One of those cases where it's instructive to think about how the story would be written up if it were happening in a middle-eastern country. Something like, "Pro-regime militias intensify intimidation campaigns against opposition in leadup to election"

Not too many hurricanes that have had a lower pressure than 884 Possible New World Record for Lowest Barometric Pressure: 860 mb? | Weather Underground WWW.WUNDERGROUND.COM A new study proposes that the surface barometric pressure in Super Typhoon Haiyan dipped to 860 mb, which would be a new world record.

Probably a net positive the more time Trump's most ardent supporters spend doing stuff like this instead of doing GOTV stuff

Here's one (1) Texas Republican State Representative calling the lawsuit patently absurd. Will it matter? Probably not!

Meanwhile in North Carolina

"Let them sing"

It's reassuring somewhat, but with what we've seen the last few days with ballots sitting around in the post offices in Florida, and the potential for the last arriving ballots to get thrown out in PA, that seems like exactly the sort of thing that would turn a win by <1% into a loss. I think he needs to win by big margins in most of the swing states at this point or it's going to be successfully stolen. Literally every 6 hours there's a new tweet from someone like Mark Joeseph Stern who knows what they're talking about when it comes to the litigation part of this that includes the phrase "this is alarming."
