All Right People! Nut Crackin' Time! Discuss Election Returns Here as they Come In!

[Retread Ol' 37]

I plan to spend the evening, watching the results on CNN and MSNBC, while joining you all the fine posters here on USMB. I'm pretty excited, seeing this is my first election on the board . No matter what happens, I'm gonna stay upbeat.. Or at least I'm gonna try. But to every person, vote! Even if you hafta hold your nose to do so. Left, Right, Middle.. Let your voice be heard! I only wish I were old enough to vote already!

No.

To paraphrase what I already said to Samurai, I will not choose whether to cut my dick off with a butter knife or a chainsaw.

 

[California Girl]

Yeah someone who isn't going to vote should waste the time of others who will vote.

And then you call me stupid?

Figures that would come from you!

Who isn't voting?

(raises hand)

I think that TPS is so stupid that she thinks that, because I live outside the US, I will not be voting. She is, of course, too stupid to understand very simple concepts such as 'absentee ballots'.

I try not to point out her total and utter stupidity but, sometimes, it just has to be done.

I'm pretty sure no one is trying to cut your dick off, dude.

Can't you do a 'none of the above' vote? I love those!! It sums up my attitude quite well.

She was attacking me because I told her I was not voting, and I do not intend to because I'm too pissed with the Dems' ineptitude the past two years and too repulsed by the Tea Party types to ever support them. I used to believe in "voting for the lesser of two evils," but that won't cut it this time. I'm sure there are better ways to send a message, but voting for any of the available candidates in my district, in this particular election, amounts to the mutilation of my own ideals as far as I'm concerned.

Where I am, no matter the candidate, they'll want to either tax my balls off or sell them to cover the deficit.

Does your state not offer a 'protest' vote? No 'none of the above' option?

As far as I know, New Jersey does not have such an option. Then again this is the first election I've seen while living in this state.

Not yet noon here in NV., but an above average # of voting complaints are coming in...nothing specific mentioned yet......complaints about equal between the two parties.

Yes, I heard on the news of trouble with the touch screens. They said that only Harry Reid was listed on some.
I think that people are not hitting the clear button at the top of the screen.
You hit that button after you vote or if the last voter did not do it, you as the next voter are suppose to do it.
I think that is what is happening more than anything like fraud.
People just do not listen, when things are explained to them.

I'm sorry, I don't buy that.

They have the same machines here in Ohio, and you would have to have the fingers like the Jolly Green Giant to "accidentally" press the wrong candidate. Besides which a big check mark shows up to make it clear what candidate you have voted for.

The irregularities are coming from the printed ballot, on machines MAINTAINED BY THE SEIU.

I find it funny that liberals were claiming all kinds of conspiracies about Deibold machines in the 2008 elections, but we can't notice problems with machines maintained by the SEIU????????

Honey the real discussions don't start until tonight when the returns come in!

Then you were about 12 hours premature weren't you? Are we just supposed to mingle until then?

**** off, you under-medicated ho. I LIVE in Minnesota, and even I don't go around claiming to "know how people in Minnesota" think. Could you get any more puffed up on arrogance? That type of broad-brushing of an entire state is the epitome of collectivist thought, something I thought conservatives like you are against... or maybe you're a "conservative".

The election wasn't "stolen"... it was very tight all the way through. When it comes down to a couple hundred votes, it's close enough to say that either candidate could've won. In that case, when the guy holding the job gets THAT marginal a vote of confidence from the electorate, he should concede to the new guy, imo. I voted to re-elect Coleman, but wasn't really that disappointed that he lost. Ultimately, there wasn't THAT much of a difference between them. Coleman was a moderate Republican, possibly one of these "rhinos" I keep hearing about, like Snowe and Castle.

THANK YOU FOR PROVING ME RIGHT.

We ARE talking about Minnesota! Like a conservative like Sarah Palin would get elected there? Of course Coleman was a "moderate."

Like I said, this IS the ONLY state that went for Mondale in 1984. All other states went for Reagan. And I'm "painting with a broad brush?" LOL!

Liberals! Always fighting against the obvious!

Funny how you think Sarah Palin is actually a conservative. If you lived here, you'd know that neither Klobuchar nor Franken have sweeping support, and that moderates on both sides have more sway over party loyalty. The Twin Cities suburbs are red, and that's balanced out by the actual cities (MSP/StP), and the arrowhead region up north which is blue-dog pro-union old-school Democrat. We've historically been a blue state, and Minneapolis is the epitome of a liberal city... but that hardly allows ANYONE to claim to "know how people in Minnesota think".

Hello? Do you know where Michelle Bachman is from?

Sure I know there are individuals everywhere.

I also know how Minnesota historically votes. I mean this is the state that voted for Mondale when the rest of the country went Reagan. This is the state that thought Conspiracy Theory Jesse Ventura was a good idea. And this is the state that that thinks Al Franken is a good idea.

I mean I'm sorry but you can judge a state by the candidates it picks.

For example, my state is full of liberal Democrats are puke "moderate" republicans like Voinivich and Dewine.

Do I mind people pointing it out and saying you can't judge the state that way? Hell no, because it's true. You can't deny the obvious. That's the way the state has voted over the years. This is the state that thought Rhoades was a good idea (YECH!)

My state went for Obama in 2008.

Calm down. Yours isn't the only sucky state in the union.

The funny thing about the touch screens here is they don't have the straight ticket option. So I had to vote the original way. Leaving nothing for chance.

Mine dont have the straight ticket option either.

I go to the polls with usually one or two voter guides with lists of candidates I want to vote for. They usually hand out more where I vote.

That's the only way to vote, unless you want to vote blind, because they don't even list party afilliation on some candidates like judge.

 

[teapartysamurai]

The road to the bottom starts tonight. If you think your having it hard now people, just wait.
YOU WILL BE SORRY. I feel for my Kids and their kids and yours.

Name anything that you think will get done because of this election right here and then print it out and come back in two years and see it was all BS.

Yeah, we should all just vote Democrat and get more of the same crap we have had for the last two years.

Yeah, that's a better solution. You go with that!

Fox News is breaking with another Reid Scandal. Possible illegal shenanigans with casino employees.

Funny how all the shenanigans in NV seem to involve Democrats.

I hope you are joking. You are aren't you? I'm not watching tv at the moment.

But isn't it odd that something like that would break the morning of an election? I mean it smells fishy to me.

Immie

Why? There has been news going on about voting irregularties in NV for more than two weeks!

I always thought Michelle Bachman was a libtard.

The first evidence of error in that statment is the idea that YOU thought at all.

You realize that Ventura was "tea party" before it was cool and co-opted by your ilk don't you?

FOX does this kinda shit every year, this year is no exception:

Honey, I've been voting in elections since 1980 and trust me, Democrats CHEAT on elections. That's been the case long before I was a twinkle in my daddy's eye.

Whether it's the dead voting in Chicago or Acorn turning in thousands of phony voter registrations in Ohio, Democrats CHEAT.

Fox News brings out this "shit" because it happens.

There is a reason Acorn was finally run out of Ohio and in Ohio you now have to show your ID to vote, and it isn't because these allegations are just "shit."

It's because phony registrations and phony ballots became so numerous the voters finally demanded something be done about it.

As it is, the system isn't perfect with early voting and "provisional ballots."

I started a thread about that but apparently there is nothing wrong with the Casino management stiff arming their employees into voting for Reid. (According to the token lib apologists)
