  • You’re talking about the Federal level, which has nothing to do with the DNC’s current problem in Ohio. They’ve been running around all year trying to change the order in which the states vote. So far, most all of them have told the DNC to pound sand, including Ohio. This deadline did not spring up out of nowhere, and it’s only a problem because of the DNC’s poor planning.

    Seriously what was the plan? Ignore the deadlines and expect a last-minute exception to be made? I’m not singing the praises of the Ohio GOP, and I agree they’re being dicks about this, but who really caused this problem? Ohio didn’t set the DNCC date. States run their elections how they want. A federal officer coming in and saying “No, do it this way because we said so” isn’t how the this system was intended to function.



  • It should have not gotten to be this bad, it shouldn’t repeat

    No one is arguing against this, especially not around here.

    The fact that nothing works and the choice won’t matter, means they are better off hiding in public than caring about you Americans dumb little election.

    The choice won’t matter to me because I’m an upper-middle-class, Jewish, Millennial, white male. However, not everyone has the luxury of acting like the choice doesn’t matter. It just blows my mind how there are folks who want to support Palestinians but refuse to see a difference between the 2 major candidates.














  • The local vote, which was eventually certified under pressure from state officials…

    and further down:

    “The Constitution and Michigan Election Law do not authorize boards of county canvassers to refuse to certify election results based on claims made by third parties of alleged election irregularities, or a general desire to conduct election investigations,” the letter says. Failure to certify would mean that the clerk would have to personally deliver all records including ballots and voting machines to Michigan state canvassers — all at the county’s own expense. The price tag, the letter adds pointedly, will be “expansive.”

    Spoiler alert. It’s all fun and games until you actually have to put in work. Shouting random crap you read off Facebook doesn’t work in the real world.
