god i've seen so many of these sorts of things over the last few days. americans are so thoroughly deranged over this election that they can't read??

there were legitimately a fair few people in the notes genuinely upset about this. everyone on this site is under 30, how are they this Boomer™

It's so obviously photoshopped too lol

Because Americans treat politics like religion and the anti-Trump propaganda has been very effective.

The WaPo does an excellent impression of The Onion. Even the guy's name.

CNN released its first glimpse of the 2024 election results a little after 5 p.m. ET Tuesday. Exit polling is expected to shift throughout the night as more responses are collected.

In the poll, 43 percent of voters said they are "dissatisfied" with "the way things are going in the United States." Another 29 percent said they feel "angry."

You'd think after 236 years of pointless voting, everyone would have learned their lesson.

One of the few funny things that will happen is that Elon Musk will have meltdown if Kamala wins

DEMOCRACY IS ON THE FUCKING BALLOT. ALLOWING PEOPLE TO VOTE AWAY DEMOCRACY IS THE HIGGEST FORM DEMOCRACY

Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses:

“It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.”

This election is such a joke lol

Ok so it's kinda starting now right? I'm at work, when should I start bothering to check to get an idea of how it's going? A few hours or should I just not bother till I get off around 11est

[–] [email protected] 8 points 48 minutes ago

Result ls will start coming in after 7, but it's pretty damn slow because of how inefficient our counting is.

"populist" is such a shitlib west wing watcher parlance

Just voted in new york.

For some reason they were using sharpies, not even fine point ones to fill out rhe ballot.

Could not even kinda of legibly write Claudia De La Cruz in the space. Oh well guess we'll find out if my vote was counted when there's zero votes for her in the county.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 32 minutes ago

Doesn't seem right. I did early voting and got a pen and my mom voted today and she also got a pen.

CNN has one better than a plain old Live Updates page. They've got Pundit Livechat. Who wants that crap?

I have to ask, if Trump is such a threat to the very democracy of this country why is he allowed to even run? The president was given the power to do anything they want and could have jailed him by now. What gives?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 56 minutes ago

Because the US is a clown country run by clowns

Libs are conflict averse on an institutional level. They would rather let an election be stolen than question the legitimacy of the resulting government.

I saw early ballot counting (I think it was on ABC), and a lot of states had very high percentages of "other" voters, sometimes more than Harris or Trump. Think it's the Green/PSL voters, or is this a normal occurrence?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 hours ago (5 children)

Nevada Secretary of State is saying they're rejecting a record number of ballots because the handwritten signatures don't match the digital pad signatures from the DMV. Disproportionately affects young people since the digital signature thing is a recent change. Expect results to take days if it isn't close

Matching Digital Touchpad signatures to handwritten lmfao

bruhhhh last time I was renewing my id they made me sign using the touchpad and my signature looked so ass it feels nothing like paper

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Also don't have a good source but apparently there was some issue in Milwaukee and they're recounting all 30k absentee ballots already. Great system folks

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 hour ago

went straight to bed after work just so i could wake up at 1am to watch this shit </3

i don't even care who wins. i'm just in it for the love of the game

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 minute ago

I hope both teams have fun.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 minutes ago

Alright, I’m heading to bed. I’ll miss the results, but when I wake up, I want the U.S. empire gone and every fascist brought to justice. It’s been good here, and I feel a strong connection to all the comrades in the U.S. who have to witness this going down. Stay strong. Solidarity and love.

I feel like I am losing my mind just sitting in this Boiler Room waiting for polls to close so at least we get a change of scenery. Campaigns are a special form of torture sometimes... and yet people keep working them.
