    Hello. Not my country; got the jitters anyway. Xmas Eve and a dentist’s appointment combined.
    You know those fascist orcs masquerading as Republicans? Just trounce them. Douse them with eau de loser and drown them in votes.
    Thanking you in anticipation.

    Trump just said he doesn’t think the election is a referendum on him.

    But if the republicans had been ahead in the polls – of course it would be all about him. So predictable, such a wimp.

    Will delay going to work this morning to go and vote. Girlfriend lost/misplaced her voter card and thought she couldn’t now vote – wish she’d explain that issue to me rather than just refuse to go. Made it clear she only needs her photo ID so, now she will go. Amazing how connected she is to the current events & issues but completely lost on such a simple problem – explains a lot for many people and how insidious the thugs are at instilling fear for people to vote if they think something isn’t correct. Even my daughter who is in Germany, voted by getting an absentee ballot.

    Those are time zone adjustments in poll closing times. Half of KY is central time, out west. Indiana is well known as a state that can’t make up its mind about time zones and daylight/standard time, and that’s what’s going there too.

    “I can think of nothing more dangerous, more divisive, or more self-destructive than the effort to prey on what is called ‘white backlash.’ I thought it was a mistake to pump this issue up in the 1964 campaign, and I do not think it served the purpose of those who did. I think it is dangerous because it threatens to vest power in the hands of second-rate men whose only qualification is their ability to pander to other men’s fears. I think it divides this nation at a very critical time — and therefore it weakens us as a united country.

    “I think that the so-called ‘white backlash’ is destructive, not only of the interests of Negro Americans, but of all those who stand to gain from humane and farsighted government. And those that stand to gain from humane and farsighted government is everybody. Nevertheless, there are those who try to stimulate suspicion into hatred, and to make fear and frustration their springboard into public office. Many of them do it openly. Some let their henchmen do it for them. Their responsibility is the same.

    “Racism — whether it comes packaged in the Nazi’s brown shirt or a three-button suit — destroys the moral fiber of a nation. It poisons public life. So I would urge every American to ask himself before he goes to the polls on Tuesday: Do I want to cast my vote on the basis of fear? Do I want to follow the merchants of bigotry?”

    Steve Kornacki appears to be all in for the democrats. Old Joe seems to be joining with the all in for the democrats. And now they have a lass on calling out trump for his b.s. on the caravan. WHY are they all suddenly changing their point of view?

    @Baud: Sure is – and I just tuned out – they’ve started ranting about how “real” republicans just want conservative things – tax cuts, judges, deficit control – all those good things that ruin an economy and a country – and trump is not a real republican.

    When trump is past – I wonder how many of these pundits will return to their original love of conservatives. In particular I hope I live long enough to see what Jennifer Rubin does. She spent 8 years as an anti Obama GOPer and then trump sent her into a spiraling reverse.

    The exercise will take place next to the Chihuahuita neighborhood, a cluster about 100 or so homes along the U.S.-Mexico border that is almost exclusively Hispanic. The exercise appears planned between Chihuahuita and the residents’ designated polling place about a half-mile away.

    @raven: I’ve been waiting for that. Ever have a day of surf fishing like this?

    Gus Hutt was casting a line off Matata Beach in the North Island last week when he spotted what he thought was a porcelain doll in the water.

    Curious, Hutt dragged the body in from the sea where it was being swept along by a rip and realised it was actually a drowning 18-month old boy.

    Hutt usually fished in a different part of the beach and it was pure luck he was in the right spot to see the child just after sunrise.

    “I reached out and grabbed him by the arm; even then I still thought it was just a doll,” Hutt told the Whakatane Beacon, a local paper.

    “His face looked just like porcelain with his short hair wetted down, but then he let out a little squeak and I thought: ‘Oh God this is a baby and it’s alive.’”

    “If I hadn’t been there, or if I had just been a minute later I wouldn’t have seen him … he was bloody lucky, but he just wasn’t meant to go. It wasn’t his time.”

    Must read: Georgia Officials Quietly Patched Security Holes They Said Didn’t Exist

    Georgia’s secretary of state was first alerted of a potential vulnerability Saturday afternoon. At the time, Washington attorney David Cross — who is representing plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Georgia over its paperless voting machines — alerted the office’s outside counsel that a man named Richard Wright contacted him Friday afternoon and claimed “any and all” information about registered voters could be pulled from the site with just a few keystrokes.

    The state’s Democratic Party, for its part, denied running the code and said a party volunteer named Rachel Small merely forwarded Wright’s tip — containing an explainer and recipe that could reproduce the problem — to her boss, who forwarded it to cybersecurity experts. Those experts told the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and Georgia officials by mid-Saturday, documents and interviews show.

    The state did not know that Small had received her information from Wright — and assumed Small had written the code herself — until ProPublica told them of the connection on Sunday evening. Still, Broce said the investigation into the state Democratic Party was justified.

    ………………………

    Democratic Party of Georgia spokesperson Seth Bringman said that the party found out about Kemp’s investigation of the purported hack from news reports. He noted that no one from the secretary of state’s office has called to ask about Small. The party, Bringman said, has also not been contacted by the FBI or DHS. Bringman called Kemp’s public statements that Democrats were under investigation “unethical, irresponsible and disqualifying.”

    Kemp’s campaign showed no signs of relenting Monday. “In an act of desperation, the Democrats tried to expose vulnerabilities in Georgia’s voter registration system,” spokesman Ryan Mahoney said in a statement. “This was a 4th-quarter, Hail Mary pass that was intercepted in the end zone. Thanks to the systems and protocols established by Secretary of State Brian Kemp, no personal information was breached.”

    “These power-hungry radicals should be held accountable for their criminal behavior,” he said.

    Two pollworkers at the BOE say the early vote was Democratic.

    We think we may win a court of appeals seat based solely on the incumbent Republican’s name “sounding” Spanish – he is not Latino, he just has a name with three vowels in it that could kinda be construed as maybe Latino. Judicial races aren’t identified R or D and we think Republicans are voting for the Democrat with the German surname :)

    Tony Jay

    On a purely selfish note I’m hoping for a truly massive, crashing, “We’re going to need new maps after this” blue tsunami that gives Democrats the House and Senate and a wide swathe of Governorships and State legislatures, because of the equally seismic effect that will have on the Brexit debate over here.

    I’m pretty sure that the prospect of Democrats using Congress to launch honest investigations into whatever Mueller reveals about the corruption and collusion between Russia, the alt-Right and the wider Establishment Right that changed the 2016 Election in America will have a substantial knock-on effect over here. Removing the ability of Republicans to cover-up the truth stabs a genuine fear of exposure into the shady networks that propagandised the 2016 Referendum. The very real likelihood that the truth will start tumbling out will change the political calculus and force the powers-that-be in London to rethink their Brexit policy. Suddenly political space will open up for politicians to go after the liars and con-men of the Right without having to worry about how picking a fight with their backers might impact on Anglo-US relations. And when that happens, a 2nd Referendum and an escape from the disaster of Brexit starts looking a lot more likely.

    No pressure, but we’re all counting on you.

    If the fix is in, Trump doesn’t seem to know it. Kind of hesitant to go beyond that, other than a vague hope that the vast majority of voters comprehends and embraces the phrase “better angels of our nature.”

    @hueyplong:

    IMO, “the fix is in” (nationally) ignores how voting works. The fix can be in in a precinct or a county or even (I suppose) in a state (although that would be really, really difficult) but the fragmented nature of US election administration would require a massive, complex, coordinated conspiracy where no one ever leaks and none of the tens of thousands of election officials who are partisan Democrats notice, for the fix to be in.

    @zhena gogolia:

    The ‘Rise of the Right’ (or whatever you want to call it) didn’t just happen. It’s obviously something that’s been planned and strategized and co-ordinated and budgeted for over the course of years by a wide range of interested parties who all see personal and political profit in breaking down the very idea of a ‘Progressive Future’. They’ve enjoyed quite a bit of success, so much so that if you look around the world it’s hard to find any major nation-state where the wankers aren’t in control. Every victory for the forces of greed and resentment promoting the kind of societal bleakness and despair that’s been rampant since the turn of the millennium.

    I guess what I’m saying is that America falling to the Right in 2016 was a big old domino in a series of dominos that have crushed a lot of hopes. If America starts getting back on its feet tonight thanks to the fire and determination of millions of men and women who simply refuse to let hope die, well, that will be one hell of a message, and it’ll be heard worldwide.

    hueyplong

    @Kay: The “fix” I was referring to isn’t a hidden thing. It’s whether the stuff we can see will be enough for Republicans to win. I’m guessing that if Trump has taken his eye off the mirror enough to ask someone how effective the voter suppression has been, the response has not been a strong “we got this.” Otherwise he’d be bragging about how he alone saved all the majorities.

    @satby:

    And there’s the rub. You shouldn’t have to be dreaming, you should be impatiently assuming. By every standard and expectation tonight should be a blow out for the Democrats. Turn-out, voter enthusiasm, mid-term tradition, Presidential disapproval, etcetra. Every single metric favours the Democrats.

    But….. they win by cheating, and they have a lot of people in a lot of places you’d need them to be if you were planning on cheating your way to ‘victory’. So everyone is on a knife edge, part of them just waiting for the bad news to start trickling in and it to be 2016 all over again. No one wants to really believe just in case the bad guys snatch the prize away and gloat “Whatcha gonna do about it?”

    It’s a testament to how anti-democracy the Republicans are that the very idea of them – not – cheating is tantamount to a counter factual. Democrats shouldn’t – need – to smash them by 15 points just to scrape a 3 point victory, but until the discrepancy in state level control is corrected, it is what it is.

    But I’m sounding gloomy guys now. I shouldn’t. Tonight will be special.

    @Tony Jay: There are rumors that Bobby Three Sticks was waiting until just after the election to drop a report (not necessarily THE report), yes.

    There are also rumors that this is because he/his team fear that Trump was waiting until as soon as today to make a play to trash the investigation in some way — for example, I heard someone say in a comment here yesterday that Rosthenstein’s replacement just got their Clearance.

    But I don’t put stock in a lot of this. All of this investigation? Events out of my control.

    But voting in, and supporting, Democratic House/Senate members? Yeah, that was in my control, and what I’m focusing on. No matter what (if anything) comes out of the Special Counsel’s office, without Legislative support we won’t see any accountability, much less change.

    Exactly. There are so many things outside of your control that you’re forced to just watch while they happen, steaming with rage at the idiocy and injustice of it all, that when the chance comes around to make your voice heard as loud and as proud as possible wise people grab it and use it.

    Vote good and vote hard.

    Just voted in Soulard (St. Louis). Poll workers said steady stream all morning with a line waiting at 6 AM. Chatted up several first time (30-40’s in age) and young voters in the parking lot. Marijuana on the ballot is bringing out a lot of people in the city. It will take us and KC to pull Claire over the line. Now a big breakfast for me at Soulard Coffee Garden and the reclaimed wood place on Gravois to pick up my order. Have a great day, everyone!
