To balance it out, I'm going to the parking lot here at work and slashing the tires of the first car I see with a Hillary bumper sticker.Made my one and only concession to lesser evilism:
My mother asked me to bring my retired father to the polls, but I've heard him talking on the phone with his gun club buddies about voting for Trump, so I left him home.

Hey, it's less than a ten minute walk down the street. Not my fault he's to busy fixing his shotgun shell reloader.
Oh, and he just took off his pants.

What a party animal!
I guess you better hope they didn't early vote, otherwise your vandalism will be for naught.
You're right. I better do a couple more to be safe. Thanks for the tip!

Slate's vote projection page is up
Clinton ahead in estimated total thus far in all of the battleground states they are tracking except PA.
Ooooo, final voting results are in from Dixville Notch!:
Clinton: 4 votes
Trump: 2 votes
Johnson: 1 vote
Romney: 1 vote
So, Mitt "Mittens" Romney is beating Stein/Baraka (and Harambe), is tied with Johnson/Weld, and is only 12.5% behind Trump/Pence. Seriously though... If you could write-in any Republican, any at all, why would you choose Mitt?

I saw the picture of the results board. The handwriting looked like "Matt" to me. I don't know who Matt is, but sure, why not?

Matt Romney could be Mitt's backup that also escaped from the Imagineer's Hall of Presidents.

The Slate estimates currently stand at;
CO: 46.3% HC / 43.6% DT, 59.8% of expected total observed
FL: 48.6% HC / 45.2% DT, 52.4% of expected total observed
IA: 48.5% HC / 43.5% DT, 33.3% of expected total observed
NV: 46.7% HC / 45.2% DT, 46.2% of expected total observed
OH: 47.9% HC / 43.9% DT, 22.7% of expected total observed
PA: 42.9% HC / 49.9% DT, 3.4% of expected total observed
WS: 52.7% HC / 40.3% DT, 17.3% of expected total observed
Note: These are not vote 'counts'. They are estimates based on data from early voting and exit polls. End results could be very different. For example, Trump is expected to win Iowa despite this estimate showing him 5% behind with a third of the expected total votes considered. If turnout remains high, many of the 'expected totals' may end up being underestimated.
Will be interesting to see how well they did when the actual counts start coming out.
Anyone who ever says "the south shall rise again" should be forced to read the Alabama state constitution aloud.
In 4 part harmony.....

I got nervous for a second. Then I reread the second half.
Too bad Hilary's mentor, Robert Byrd, died; otherwise he could have gone to the Klan rally.

He owned up to and denounced his past Klan involvement. I haven't checked the timelines, but I'd bet all that was before his connections with Hillary. There are contexts where this would be a highly relevant point, but talking about current support from Klansmen isn't really one of them.

Yeah, you should really keep current with objective facts and actual history, Mr. Osborne.

I think I know what my next composition project is. But should it be SATB or TTBB?

Bad Pilbug! Don't feed the trolls.
No surprises yet...Vermont is being called for Hillary and Indiana and Kentucky for Trump
Lots of states still really close...

Lots of states still really close...
Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia for Trump, Clinton holding at just Vermont with most likely North Carolina for Trump as well.
Electoral Count vote... Projection Trump leads Clinton 24 to 3.
Virginia nor Ohio has been called yet on NBC. Most of the urban counties/CD suburbs of Virginia haven't reported any results yet
NBC calls SC for Trump
South Carolina for Trump Electoral score Trump over Clinton 33 to 3.
Lead has turned around Clinton over Trump 75 to 66.
Dems take the Illinois senate from Republicans...that's one down

My projection... if this election gets that close, Florida is heading for another recount.
| 6 people marked this as a favorite. |
uh oh rural Florida is giving it to Trump.....
I think rural America is giving it to Trump.
Initial Projection: Democrats remain a minority party in the House.

Yeah this whole election has been basically Rural versus Urban
I think we're going to see Trump carry the white vote in this country, and we're seeing a lot of late hour anti political correctness backlash, especially outside of the cities.
Clinton may come down as the first Democrat to almost win Florida.
Yeah this whole election has been basically Rural versus Urban
We've always had that... but I think we are looking at a greater set of polarisation. Not just Rural vs. Urban, but also a massive rejection of political correctness rhetoric among white voters.
Clinton is not doing well with white voters... even with women. Her surge in women votes is almost exclusively minority women.
Clinton may come down as the first Democrat to almost win Florida.
How soon they forget
George Walker Bush–
Richard Bruce Cheney 2,912,790 48.847% Republican
Albert Arnold Gore Jr.–
Joseph Isadore Lieberman 2,912,253 48.838% Democratic
I'm seeing New Jersey called for Clinton right now - with her at 46% and Trump at 51%.
...
Um.

Made a similar post on Facebook and Trump Supporting Teamster saw it. He made some comment, I drove him off my page with some clever insults that made me feel pretty smug, like I got one over on him. Got to work and he sees me and starts gesticulating wildly and pointing at me. I go over to see what's up and, as I approach, he points at me and yells "Get him!"
Whirling around to see what terrible Trump thug ambush he had prepared, I was surprised to see Sanders-voting Female Teamster behind me. What nefarious treachery be this?
"Get him!" TST repeated.
"Is it true? That you wouldn't drive your father to the polls? That's terrible..."
"But, but, it's right down the street!"
"...I can't believe you wouldn't do that..."
"You know, my father can drive, he has a truck..."
"And him with his diabetes and his stroke last year, I'm so disappointed..."
"Walking is supposed to good for him."
(TST is in the background laughing uproariously)
"And your mother" ("Your poor mother!") "She asked you to take him, and you couldn't do that for her?"
Finally, I realized that I couldn't escape the public guilt-trip and, like a presidential candidate, tried to pivot.
"Look, [Female Teamster,] he was going to vote Trump."
"I know, but who are you" [accusatory finger to chest] ("Haw haw haw!") "To take away, to rob him of his rights as an American citizen?"
"You're right, [Female Teamster], what can I say? It's been that kind of election. It's turned brother against brother, father against son."
"Yeah, it's been a bad one."
"Might be a civil war before it's all through."
TST: "I hope your father shoots rock salt in your commie ass!"
I'm willing to admit that as a reasonable possibility. XD And Clinton just jumped ahead on Google's results page (68 to 66). Nevermind, flipped to 97 v 122.
For now... I think I'm just gonna go get something to eat, then see how things are when I get back.
Trump over the halfway point to 270 137 to 104 Trump over Clinton pretty much all of the traditional Red states have stayed loyal to the Republicans Texas remains red.
I'm seeing New Jersey called for Clinton right now - with her at 46% and Trump at 51%.
...
Um.
It's all about who's results have been reported. Trump's not ahead, but most of the districts where he'd do well have reported results and he's not far enough ahead to hold onto the lead once the cities start to come in.
The cities in NJ have the bulk of the population, and they'll go solid for Clinton.
