I think you will be accompanied by many Republicans that never have voted for a Democrat Presidential candidate before. — ssu
The Democrat Party was a bit different back then too, you know.From 1831 to 2003, Georgia never had an elected Republican Governor. During all of that history Georgia was overwhelmingly Democrat, both at the state and federal level. — Hanover
Yes. 3-6 hours long lines in the rain. I don't believe, however, the usual voter suppression tactic of 'reducing the number of polling stations in neighborhoods and counties with black pluralities or majorities around the state' is working or will work as planned. No waiting, of course, in whiter and wealthier Atlanta neighborhoods like Buckhead where I visited to see the disparity for myself.Did you manage to vote? I saw some crazy waiting lines on the Daily Show. — Benkei

It's just typical that although it affected everyone, it's again something that appears to affect black/poor communities more. — Benkei

:victory: :mask:I want to talk to the Trump supporters for a minute. What is Donald Trump's campaign about? He's a RACE-BAITING, XENOPHOBIC, RELIGIOUS BIGOT. You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to Go To Hell! — Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), 2016
:shade:... it's too early to tell how far the WH, AG Barr & the GOP will go in trying to sabotage the election by (e.g.) suppressing student, minority & urban voters; (again) suborning foreign interference via cyber-espionage, etc; and terrorizing the electorate with incitements of mob violence against poll workers, Democratic Governors & Mayors, "deep state" IGs & Public Health officials, and, of course, against "the fake news" media. Because both the WH & RNC know they've already lost - behaviors, forensic psychologists et al will tell you, never lie. I suspect things are going get much uglier this fall. — 180 Proof
A co-founder of the (usually) tRump-sympathizing Federalist Society argues that Putin's Running Mate's mere mention of delaying or canceling the upcoming election is grounds for another Impeachment and this time Conviction (removal from office) even before the November 3rd election.SCROTUS' only play is some form of martial law (à la the Enabling Act - fuckin' Steve Bannon's wet dream) that most of 'the establishment' will consent to (I can't imagine why they would though) in order to cancel/suspend the election. — 180 Proof
