Election 2022 (Dems in charge of Senate. Reps take the House. Herschel Walker headed back home to ignore his children )

@Destino the solution is to fix the EC so it reflects the changes over the decades 

 

not to toss it and trade it for a system to has the same problem, but worse, in the other direction.

Can't believe its been two years already...

 

Anyways, how are you guys watching this thing? I've now got two tvs in the room, I'm going to put one on MSNBC and the other on David Pakman (I assume he'll be streaming) and switching between the "Pod Save America" guys. The computer will be used for this thread, of course.

You know what's ****ing dumb? The electoral college. Only a dozen countries use it that's how dumb it is.

 

Othee countries with electoral college systems include Burundi, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Myanmar, Pakistan, Trinidad and Tobago and Vanuatu. 

 

Good company no doubt. 🤭

 

I'm pretty sure we have an EC thread.  Take that stuff there.

I used to plan a barcrawl with friends in college (turn of the millenium, so 20-25 years ago).  It was good-natured fun to watch the results come in state by state regardless of party.  Now it feels like severe pain to even follow the election and its results.

Right now my county 50% of registered voters have voted. This includes Early voting. They are showing categories of Early voting, Election day, and provisional. We close at 7 CT.

This is about as authentic Wisconsin as it gets.

I’m not. 

 

Putting Spifftavious to bed, watching some Sopranos with the wife, taking a shot of NyQuil, and going to bed. 

Will check everything out in the morning and see what’s what. But I ****ing can’t deal with night of election coverage anymore.  It’s exhausting.

Having all of this leftover Halloween candy is not necessarily a good thing on a night like this. 

Not drinking, tho.  Gonna need a clear head tomorrow at work.

I used to get several pounds of crabs legs, grab a ton of booze, take Wednesday off and do it all night long. I can't afford crab legs and I don't drink anymore. Instead its iced tea, bong hits and trip to Sheetz.

I can't not watch, I have to watch until I HAVE to go to bed.

We are getting stoned and watching CNN.  I like John King and his magic wall.

[Ball Security]

I just don’t see things (key Senate elections) getting called tonight.  I’ll watch the returns some, but could see myself tuning out.

 

NPR was trying to tell me that the D’s 2024 Presidential chances will be greater if they lose the house.  Not sure I buy that, but there’s some logic there.

Historically I have always enjoyed paying attention to elections, but this forum addicted me to it in 2012 while I was stuck at work with nothing to do. Now? Election results are like telenovelas for me. Gotcha popcorn ready!

Big shock

Pew says federal annual reports (cdc and fbi) aren’t available but goes on to discuss other types of reports that are. 
 

I can’t read the article and it’s not in the part you copy/pasted. Is their data from the annual reports from cdc/fbi? If not then there’s no conflict there
