"elections have consequences"

Nothing unconstitutional about it

But the pearl clutching at possible court packing when the republic have spent decades gutting voting rights and the ability to vote with ease and ignoring the will of the people.

"elections have consequences"

Right, win elections so we can pack the courts

[Fhloston]

Early voting started today in Texas. My polling location was pretty packed. Good to see folks coming out to vote in droves, but yeah, COVID. I'll wait a week or so for the initial hype to die down.

Virginia voter registration is down after a fiber cable was "accidently cut." Today is the last day to register.

The Virginia Information Technology Agency tweeted that a fiber cut near Route 10 in Chester, Virginia is to blame.

"Due to a network outage, the Citizen Portal is temporarily unavailable. We are working with our network providers to restore service as quickly as possible," the Virginia Department of Elections posted on their registration website.

There was no estimate on if, or when, the problem would be fixed Tuesday. Once the database issues are fixed, Virginians will be again able to register to vote online with identification, or in-person at their voter registrar's offices.

I'm sure all of this was going on in its own era each election, but this is the first time I've personally seen such widespread coverage of all of these attempts to sabotage and deny people their vote in this country. Like, to THIS extent.

Keep it coming. Its fascinating to see how places outside of my home are dealing with this.

An ironic(?) side effect of Trump constantly raising the specter of mass Democrat voter fraud is the attention being paid to all the actual Republican voter interference

Also, curious on people's thoughts about this interview:

It's the only poll showing Trump actually up nationally. Seems like a load of horseshit, especially when you get to this:

Third are African-American and Hispanic voters. They are moving toward Trump in significant, maybe even historic numbers.

In the wake of Trump's horrendous mishandling of recent events this seems completely out of tune with reality.

Thoughts?

They literally add a shy trump voter predictor in the electorate modeling. That's all that really needs to be said. They are overcompensating polls from 2016 electorate forecasts and ignoring the 2018 electorate forecasts. When 2016 happened, polls began to weight by education and suddenly in 2018, polls were right. Their solution is to just assume that there's shy trump voters despite the overwhelming evidence that the issue was education weighting.

Read the first paragraph and I was out.

[synistar]

Looked up who did the poll.

+Former adjunct scholar and senior fellow of the libertarian think tank Cato Institute
+Founding director of the Social Affairs Centre at the Canadian Fraser Institute, a conservative and libertarian think tank and charity

There's a reason why it isn't included in the 538 aggregates

Rosenberg wrote another post-mortem on democracy arguing that right-wing nationalist populism is an evitable result of democracy.

One county in Houston voted more than the state of Georgia in our first day. Harris county @128K votes (previous first day record @68K) vs Georgia at 126.9K with their old record at 90K. Would be delicious to see Texas turn blue but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Uh oh, a pro-life evangelical got their op-ed published.

tl;dr:

For me, the breaking point came this summer.

People are so impressively stupid

[Lucavi]

Everyone learns at their own pace, Byrth, just like that one kid in your elementary school that seemed to have an intimate oral connection with glue and paste.

Conversely, people will ignore a SHIT ton of stuff, even if they witness it, because admitting they were wrong takes that much out of them. Clearly, someone claiming they are pro-life is enough forget and forgive foolish act after hateful act.
