Greatoneshere Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 49 minutes ago, Jose said: Why should they if the constituents he represents agree with him? Because hate isn't a political platform worthy of supporting, regardless of who agrees with it. There's a clear red line and the Republicans crossed it long ago.

SaysWho? Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 A new poll came out with Scott ahead of Nelson by 1 point in Florida and Gillum ahead of Desantis by 1. Abrams is ahead when all adults are interviewed by 2 points, and Kemp is ahead of her by 1 when likely voters are polled. Margin of error tight. I really hope people show up to vote; people like Gillum and Abrams can show that you can run on more of a base platform and attract more people to the polls and even persuade those you wouldn't expect to persuade.

PaladinSolo Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 So early voting is off the charts for a mid term, and look more like a presidential year. Doesn't necessarily mean anything about where things are headed, just that people seem to be energized to vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I cast my ballot today - the first day of early voting. Karl Dean for Governor Phil Bredesen for Senator Jim Cooper for Rep And there were a few ballot measures too: I voted in favor of a Community Oversight Board for Metro Nashville's police department. I voted against a change in term limits of City Councilmen from 2-6yr terms to 3. And I voted against requiring councilmen and mayors to take an oath against the Metro Charter. Because fuck oaths. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I'm really hoping he's pulling in those non-likely voters. The Democratic candidate for governor in Texas is extremely weak. I don't think a lot of Democrats even like her because of some of the anti immigration actions she took as sheriff. No one wants to face and spend money fighting Abbott after he demolished Wendy Davis. He is very well liked here. Abbott would be much more moderate if it wasn't for Lt. Governor Dan Patrick pushing him to the right in the Texas Senate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember that it's important that we win every race, not just the big ones, as it's clear even at the local level Republicans have taken over, and not in a good way. So while you may lose some big ones you may still snag smaller seats if everyone who thinks they'll lose with the big ones votes anyway to win the small ones.

That will prompt a process where three commissions of each county included in the district must come together to find a Republican replacement a few months before the start of the 2019 legislative session. “We’ve seen local vacancies, but never where it’s crossed county lines, which obviously makes it more difficult,” Koenig said. The district covers all of Nye County and parts of Clark and Lincoln counties, so the three boards of commissioners would have to nominate one candidate to fill the vacancy, then hold a joint meeting to discuss the nominees and choose a replacement, according to Rick Combs, the director of Nevada’s Legislative Council Bureau.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 This seems significant Quote Most of the counties have not announced new voting procedures, but Gulf County, southeast of Panama City — home to 10,216 registered voters — is an example of what can be done. In a statement posted to social media, John M. Hanlon, the supervisor of elections in Gulf County, said conditions there were “catastrophic.” But voting will take place anyway. He said voters in the county would not be able to vote at their normal, designated polling places on Election Day. Instead, they have the following options: They can vote by mail. They can come to the elections office to fill out an absentee ballot, or take one home and return it at a later date. They can request that an absentee ballot be emailed to them. Once they complete it, they must fax it back along with a signed voter’s certificate. This procedure is a concession to the storm: In normal circumstances, voters cannot use emailed ballots. They can vote at one of two “voting super centers” that the county will open on Oct. 26 and keep open until Nov. 6. They will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Also Quote Aside from that, the state government appears to be in listening mode, maintaining regular communication with election supervisors in affected counties. Mr. Lux said local election officials felt they had received little help from the federal government. “If you’re wondering what the government response has been, we’re sort of wondering, too,” he said.
