Not sure what is going on but it seems voter screening is tightening up.

Left my drivers license at work so I brought my passport, a recently expired DMV temporary paper photo copy of drivers license, my auto registration and a utility bill with me as ID.

They made me cast a provisional ballot

Would have preferred they ask for proof of citizenship, but progress is progress.

On the other hand, I probably could have driven down to the other nearby congressional district and told them "Yo no hablo inglés. " and that I did not have time to register to vote before hand because I just came across the border illegally last weekend and they would probably find transportation and let me vote in every precinct in the district so progress may not be evenly implemented

That’s Great News!

I’m seeing ZERO evidence that Rs Cannibilized their Vote. They are either keeping pace or outvoting Dems on ED!

"Nate Silver, last night, suddenly changes from 88% DNC takes House to 50/50."

Okay, LS—— if I’m right, if my gut instinct is correct and Yoder keeps his seat in Johnson Co KS despite everything, may I pretty please get a cool nickname for a day! That’s all I ask..... LOL.

Not as gold as the Young Turks.

I am looking forward to a compilation video of the 2016 meltdown segueing into the conclusion of tonight’s coverage.

Prolly would've bought you a burger afterward too  :-\

First part of your post was heartening tho.
The constable on duty here this morning was both surprising and very encouraging.

Have just been curious if perhaps Trump's fedgov had freed up a bunch of money to fund similar sorts of fraud suppression nationwide.

Perusing Twitter, I see a lot of sponsored propo about Dems, and news of big turnouts across the country. Almost exactly like 2016.

But no real news about R vs. D turnouts.

Just in case this hasn't been posted yet, just getting to FR now:

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Just got back from the polls. Very busy. Sat with our mayor and had a good visit.

Parting the ....well, you know the rest.

Alien wimmen.

Captain Kirk approves of this message.

[Bruiser78]

Whoa, did Nate really change it to 50/50? Definitely hedging!! Like it

[L,TOWM]

Perhaps not enough, is what it sounds like.

[newfreep]

IIRC, Nate didn’t state 50/50.

He stated it could go either way.

50/50 was just easier to type with my two fingers.

[fortheDeclaration]

Well, we won in 2016!

"Nate Silver, last night, suddenly changes from 88% DNC takes House to 50/50."

No he didn't.

[fortheDeclaration]

I think a lot of Democrats will be voting GOP this midterm.
What are the Democrats offering them?
