2016 USA Presidential election thread II: And. Here. We. Go!

This sounds an awful lot like incitement to voter intimidation.

Not in any meaningful legal terms it doesn't.

short but interesting article on how they received and processed the tax info

imagine sitting on that shit for 8 days, right?

I'm not sure about intimidation, but I believe it does fall under illegal political activity within voting areas.

It varies from state to state. Apparently PA has some really messed up laws that make it really easy for poll watchers to fuck up the process and slow down the voting process by questioning people's eligibility.

I'd like to hope it would be a nonfactor come November, but given Trump's calls and the types of people who are volunteering for him, it's conceivable there will be some shitshows on election day. I do think it's the kind of thing that, given the year and the danger of Trump, would see serious legal challenges if it became a deciding factor in the election.

Trump suggesting at his rally that his voters go to polling stations in "certain areas" and "watch" the voters there.

In almost all jurisdictions that is illegal, and a felony in some. Also it may violate civil rights statutes.

These people better be careful about that.

was wondering when he'd come around. also i wonder if that was a reaction to his team's owner hosting a fundraiser for trump, especially with lebron/gilbert having their differences.

If there's one thing the stereotypical Trump supporter is, it's being careful.

[Day]

Oh good I was waiting for Lebron before I decided

[Quicklet]

Can't wait for the 3am tweets from Trump calling LeBron a loser.

Trump's gonna try drowning out tweets during the debate by writing tweets for his deplorables to copy and paste.

[Mertron]

"we will fact check hillary live, using prewritten tweets"

ok

[Mertron]

also, changing my fantasy football team name to big league truth team. we're gonna win so bigly, you won't even believe how bigly we'll win

[kisada]

if lebron moves the ohio needle that'd be pretty neat.

[Day]

i think you mean sad

Rudy needs to just stop. . .

I feel like a lot of otherwise irrelevant people are trying to cash in on this campaign to get their faces in the spotlight.

[Deftscythe]

Rudy needs to just stop. . .

You wanna add some context?

[kisada]

hard to say since it seems like he says something even more brain-damaging every single day, but last couple things he said were about hillary being too dumb to be president, and that trump would be better than a woman for president

[Andalusian girls]

it's a shame, i actually quite liked Rudolph when he took on the Five Families and ensured most of the bosses would die in prison during sentencing. and he was often fairly progressive as mayor helping usher in civil unions for homosexuals and protected status for illegal immigrants, even as he doubled down on crime reduction with Bratton's new policing. not quite sure what happened to that man.
