First my drinking went up, then I realized it was becoming unsustainable and I've cut way back, to less than I was drinking before this administration. Silver lining, I guess.

SaysWho? Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 What I keep hearing from the numbers people is that party registration =/= party ID. More Dems voted than Republicans in early voted in 2016, but that doesn't actually mean Hillary won a higher percentage of Ds than Trump did Rs. I'm hoping Gillum/Nelson are shaving off some of more of the Republican support (I do know Republicans who are voting straight D, but that's of course anecdotal) than vice versa.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 U.S. Payrolls Rise More Than Forecast as Wage Gains Hit 3.1% Average hourly earnings for private workers advanced 3.1 percent from a year earlier and the unemployment rate was unchanged from September at 3.7 percent, both matching projections. Now imagine if the occupant of the Oval Office was actually able to tout this effectively at each and every opportunity for the mid-terms.

PaladinSolo Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 The economy doesn't typically affect midterms, its more or less how people feel about the president, and almost always bad for the ruling party no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure. Even with Trump, had the GOP passed a new tax legislation that actually benefited the middle class in a more tangible way than the cuts that were passed, I bet the anti-Trump fervor in the polls would be noticeably smaller. Not a large difference, but noticeable sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 This McCaskill / Hawly race is nuts here. I can't imagine how much is being spent on ads. Every other ad is for this race. Everywhere. All the time. My kids think Claire McCaskill is evil, because they get all of the ads on Youtube too. I'm not a big fan of McCaskill, but man, is Josh Hawley the biggest douchebag ever or what? It's like they spawned him from some sort of fuckwad pod. One of the most punchable politicians I've seen in a long time. Fuck that guy.

SaysWho? Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 Federal court rules against Kemp in absentee ballot battle Quote An order that requires voters to be notified if their absentee ballots were rejected because of mismatched signatures will stand after a ruling in federal court. The order also gives those voters a chance to fix the discrepancy so that their ballots count. Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who is also running for Governor, filed an emergency motion to prevent that from happening. That motion was denied. Quote The injunction orders the Secretary of State’s office to inform local election offices to accept absentee ballots – even if the signatures don’t match. Local elections offices are ordered to mark the ballots as “provisional” and give voters a “pre-rejection” notice, via first class mail, to clear discrepancies.The order is retroactive, so it applies to mail-in voters who may have already been rejected.
