2024 Presidential Election | ELECTION DAY 2024

MSNBC reporting an arrest already.

They need life.

Goodness. And I also saw where they had to remove some non-citizens from the voter rolls in Georgia (only 20, but still how does that happen to begin with?) I predict an absolute crap show and crazy claims to the point if there are any actual issues no one will know what to believe.

I would expect more than 20 just from random chance and mistakes.

Yeah, but do we get free ice cream in the cafeteria?

Trump being clear on his priorities:

I think we all knew staying out of prison was Trump's primary reason for running again but it's nice to have a tacit admission. Of course, it doesn't matter one bit to the people we need it to.

I hope all those Duke students are registered to vote in NC and not NJ...

It kind of blows my mind that Rex Chapman is liberal. He wasn't always, was he?

It Really Does Feel Close in North Carolina

Democrats hope demographic changes bring them success. Republicans hope Hurricane Helene didn’t ruin all their plans.

Let’s be very clear about this. Yes it was 20, but it is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT to note that that was 20 out of 4.8 MILLION registered voters. That equates to (I think, but I may be off a decimal or so) 0.0004%. AND…, of this 20 voters 9 voted years ago before voter if was in place, and the other 11 registered, but have never voted. So it literally does NOT constitute actual voter fraud.

I only say this to make sure we clearly explain this WHEN (not if) the idiots raise this to us.

“…
When asked if the United States could potentially end all federal taxation, Mr. Trump said the country could return to the economic policies in the late 19th century, when there was no federal income tax.

“It had all tariffs — it didn’t have an income tax,” Mr. Trump said. “Now we have income taxes, and we have people that are dying. They’re paying tax, and they don’t have the money to pay the tax.”

In June, Mr. Trump floated the idea of replacing federal revenue from income taxes with money received from tariffs.

… Either way, both liberal and conservative experts have dismissed his idea as mathematically impossible and economically destructive. Even if Republicans control Congress, lawmakers are unlikely to dismantle the income tax system. Yet Mr. Trump’s combination of tax cuts and tariff increases has been central to his political pitch. …”

lol, someone on here called this last week.

that "no taxes!" would be his next insane, desperate, impossible, vote-buying nonsense claim/promise.

eta: @Enigma94 good call, dude

You know that the story on the Fox News report would be something like this:
"A Georgia investigation has uncovered multiple instances of voter fraud. Who knows how many other cases are out there in Georgia or other swing states?"

I kinda want to meet someone who had a poster of Nixon above their bed as a child.

That would have to be an interesting person.

I mean lets have Red State constitutional amendments saying Dead people can't vote I bet more than 9 dead people got a vote cast by a family memeber

 

[Baba O’Riley]

I just listened to the WCDP Zoom about poll greeting. I did this four years ago and the republicans were handing out their slate cards but not saying which party it came from which is not correct ( I don't know if this is actually against election laws or not). This year, they said at least one polling site had republicans handing out fake Democrat slate cards (presumably to Democrats) that were blue and had all the known Democratic candidates on it but they put in Republican candidates for the down ballot. Just slimy cheaters that scream the loudest about election fraud. If you haven't voted yet, please look out for this.

With all the early voting, releasing damaging stories so close to Election Day isn’t nearly as effective as it used to be.

In theory you're correct, but at this point bad stories are unlikely to actually change anyone's vote. However, they would have a definite effect on enthusiasm and dampen turnout.
