**Election Day 2014 - LIVE THREAD**
Free Republic Rocks! | November 4, 2014

Happy Election Day everyone! I figured I'd go ahead and get the election day thread started. Polls open on the east coast in a little less than an hour.

Please be sure to post observations of interest if you went to the polls today.

Remember GO0 Congressman Pombo from San Joaquin County? Portuguese (Azorean) as well. And RAT Congressman Tony Coelho also is Portuguese-American. California’s Central Valley must be second only to the New Bedford region and Rhode Island in Portuguese influence.

Right, and we should never forget how Christie helped a LIBERAL gubernatorial Republican, who voted for Obama, but not Astorino, a CONSERVATIVE gubernatorial candidate.

btw, I heard Astorino on political analyst Fred Dicker’s radio show, and he also felt more gun owners should have voted, but was appreciative about the grass roots gun owners who helped him so enthusiastically.

I sure wish each and every gun owner would vote more.

I hope Astorino runs again. Fortunately, in 4 years, that fat turd Christie will be out of the Governorship.

Ralston points out that NV Legislature would have few impediments to redrawing the district lines next year, in time for 2016: http://www.ralstonreports.com/blog/2015-mischief-blog-one-series-redistricting

The NV Legislature can undo the Democrat-drawn map so as to improve GOP chances of holding both houses in 2016. It also can shore up Heck’s NV-03 a bit (Heck didn’t have any trouble this year, but if Sandoval passes on taking on Reid maybe Heck will run, and the open seat would be very competitive under current lines) and pack black precincts from North Las Vegas into the heavily Democrat NV-01 so as to make the NV-04 GOP-leaning (under the current lines, the RATs are likely to win it back in a presidential year).

And if those congressional districts are shored up, NV is one state that we would have very little to lose in changing the law so that electoral votes are allocated 1 for each CD carried, 1 for the presidential candidate that won the statewide vote, and 1 for the candidate that carried the most CDs (or, if there’s a tie in CDs won, the one who got the most statewide votes between the candidates that tied in CDs). If there are three GOP-leaning CDs and one über-Democrat CD, the tweaked Maine/Nebraska method of EV allocation would give the GOP presidential candidate 5 of the state’s 6 EVs in the not-very-likely chance that he carries the state as a whole (NV has not been kind to us of late; if the GOP candidate does carry it, it likely would be in the midst of an easy Electoral College victory), but more importantly would give him 4 EVs if he loses statewide in a competitive race (and 1 or 2 EVs even if he loses handily).

I hope that NV Republicans bring out the long knives.

If they can, they had better.

Man up Nevada GOP, before Reid steals your Assembly Majority in 2 years and sends Hardy packing. Give whatshername in Las Vegas the most disgustingly heavily rat district you possibly can.
