So the GOP should be happy that public schools aren't teaching cursive anymore! Seriously, both of my kids' signatures look like a 5 year old trying to use a pen for the first time.

Trump said today this will be his last election regardless of outcome. I will once again say "from his mouth to God's ear."

The Capital Police have arrested a man at the Capitol Visitor Center who smelled like fuel and had a torch and flare gun on him-no other details yet.

A Trump appointed Federal judge once threw out a challenge from the GOP of mail in ballots that were accepted by several metro Atlants counties. Note, there were red counties that accepted ballots over the weekend as well, but they only challenged the blue counties. The judge basically read the GP lawyers the riot act. He pointed out that indiscrepancy, while pointing out the clear reading of Georgia law makes accepting mail in ballots over the weekend completely legal. Then he said:
""When a lawyer speaks, this court expects that the lawyer and their clients present nothing more than the truth. Our system of justice demands it. P's counsel missed that mark in this case."


He also said: "Complaint lacked "a basic level of statutory review and reading comprehension."



Lawyers, is it good when a judge says that about your case?

There have been a ton here and that ad is one of the worst ads I've ever seen when it comes to human decency. Deplorable

Is that the one that combines immigration and trans surgery? That's the one I remember.

It's the one that says Harris will pay for trans surgery for prisoners and then alludes to the idea that every trans adult is trying to playing against 5th grade girls in basketball. It also makes every trans person appear to be the bearded lady from some kind of circus. It's pretty rough.

the Trump Media stock fell around 15% right before closing, and trading had to be halted on it three separate times.

Didn't they try that stuff in 2022 and it failed spectacularly? I guess I get it if you're micro-targeting some closeted members of your base, but I've yet to come across a person in real life who has ever given a shit. That ad has been playing in Illinois too so it must be a national buy of some sort.

I think most of the Harris campaign has been terrible but their ads tying Trump to Musk I thought was very good. Talks about how he is doing this for billionaires and they cut to Musk in a tuxedo a few times. They've been consistent on ads about the economy which I think helps while Trump is doing ads on transgender and immigration.

So it begins. The good news is, Trump's people are thinking he is losing Pennsylvania.


This was going to be a post with Trump saying there is massive cheating in Philadelphia, but I suddenly can't get tweets to share.

Someone told him that Philly turnout is through the roof according to reports. And wouldn't you know it, the Puerto Rican neighborhoods are leading the way.

It wasn't really in play but it seems like turnout is very high in Florida for Republicans.

I think it is very targeted. It motivate a very specific type of voter. Once Harris got in, Trump pretty much stopped trying to persuade, and went all in on motivating turn out. Nothing scares old people and men more than trans people.

A few days ago I noticed that I could no longer share tweets through the quick reply option—the submission would just hang. It works if I go through preview/advanced, because that method checks for humanness. I assume it is trying to verify this for the quick post as well but can’t.

I have had that problem, but this was twitter. It wouldn't give me the embed. It has just been doing that today. I don't know if it is because their hamster is getting tired, or if Musk isn't throttling certain posters.

Yep. Another thing that turns me off the GOP these days is the automatic attempt to discount every vote they can, usually in targeted areas they know they will do poorly.

Our Senate race has apparently generated twice as much spending as any other Senate race. So it has been non-stop Moreno/Brown ads here, often going back and forth twice in a single commercial break.

Yes, the Republican message is all about immigration and trans people in locker rooms. You'd think they'd switch it up once people had seen the same ad 40-50 times. They don't.

I am confident Moreno has earned the vote of every single person in Ohio who thinks of nothing but locker rooms. He has achieved a perfect score in the locker-room-is-my-number-one-issue metric.

I'm not an expert in campaign strategy by any means, but I would think if you're going to spend $200 million on your campaign, you'd want to tape 20-30 different commercials. And if you can't think of 20-30 reasons why you're the better candidate, find another vocation.

Covid required us to make it easier to vote in 2020 and that's why a Democrat won. And why the GOP tries so hard to restrict voting options under the guise of "security."

Is that election day vote only? Because the gender gap in the early voting was really big in some states. It was like 10% in Michigan.

Apache County Arizona had voters leave without voting due to the lines due to issues with the machines today. They just said the county went heavy blue in 2020.

This is a cool site. Shows the shifts in real time per county. Might be a nice gauge. Early results showing a few point swing to Demoxrats in rural counties in Indiana and Kentucky.

Yeah I've been tracking the site and wondering if Indiana counts early votes first or all together. Almost every county has a pretty big shift left.

Yeah, this is helpful. I live right next to Franklin County, KY. It went Trump by 248 votes in 2020, right now running D+5. I'm hoping to see a similar trend in my county and others around Lexington. Not that it's going to matter for KY, but maybe a harbinger of a larger trend which might matter elsewhere.

Me and Trump is going to win about 75% here if I were guessing. So I’d caution that those have to be super early numbers.

Thanks for the link. It looks from the limited info so far that Indiana has a big Democratic shift, while Kentucky has some shifts in each direction that basically cancel out. Why that would be I have no idea, but I'll put my lot in with the obligatory 'too early to tell' that always happens for about the next hour or so.

Idle conjecture; part of me wonders if this will just be one of those elections with unexpected shifts, a la 2016. I.e. some parts of the country and of individual states shifting Republican, but others shifting Democrat, and assumptions on 'bellwether counties' just not really holding up.
