Fuck all of the fuckers.
I woke up reading that Coney Barrett was confirmed, and even though I knew it was going to happen, it still sucks and I'm sad and angry at all the things!!!!!
Interestingly, early voting in NY started on Saturday and the NYC Board of Elections confirmed Saturday night that Monday had the most turnout so far. I’m shocked, since the lines seemed lighter after Saturday.

Maybe it took them a day or two to get really efficient at getting folks checked in and thru? Could explain the number and line differential.

That was my thought, but I also figured the weekend would have been more convenient. However, Monday is also a common day off for a bunch of industries too. But whatever the reason, it looks so promising! At least, it does for my congressional district where we have a close race.
Polling shows Raphael Warnock at 51% in the GA special election. Correction: I read the poll wrong. He's def. going to the runoff, and he's polling at 51% against either R candidate in the runoff, so he could plausibly win the seat. I'm still excited.
The numbers of those who have voted already are bonkers. But I’m still nervous as hell. My brain will be mush by the time the election is over. So many polls, data points etc.
Can someone please tell me to stop checking the polls for NC? Senate and president are a toss-up. I don't know why I think checking 538 constantly will help that situation.
I'm crossing my fingers that our governor wins reelection. I'm terrified of how much worse the covid situation will get under Dan Forest, who wants to repeal the mask mandate (let alone all the other chucklefuckery he would release).
This article has tipped me to deciding Pennsylvania is going to be the state I obsess over until election day. Short answer- no he is not toast, but it lays out nicely how those results might be an indicator on how he will do in some other states.
Someone in my NextDoor posted that she was pissed because someone ruined her Halloween decorations in her yard. She posted doorbell camera footage to “prove” it. It was teens who noticed she had a Trump flag so they (very carefully and on the edge of her grass) put a Biden sign. Responders on NextDoor told her to calm down and wanted to know who the teens were so they could treat them to lunch. Don’t think that’s the response she wanted. Hahahaha

Early voting this time makes me so nervous. With ACB, the recent court decisions, and the gop scrambling to pull power by any means necessary, I worry about them rejecting large sections of early voting ballots.
I don’t know enough about election laws, how the election is laid out in the constitution (because ACB is an originalist), or precedents to find peace in anything right now.
Mostly I’m just terrified about the potential loss of the Senate and WH and what that could mean for us.
Just woke up to see McConnell adjourning the Senate until 11/9. It’s not like they had anything else to do, like covid relief or anything.
VOTE THESE MOTHERFUCKERS OUT! I know McGrath’s chances are slim but I’d settle for McConnell in the minority.
I hope Mitch McConnell drowns in the blue tsunami that is (hopefully) coming his way.
I mean, I know the republicans are a garbage party right now but are they really, truly that naive to think that not passing a stimulus package plays well for them? By all accounts the election is pretty damn close.

I'm optimistic about the polls and the early voting numbers, but Amy Coney Barrett's (I refuse to call her ACB. She is NO RBG, who EARNED her acronym) confirmation sent another wave of fear and anxiety over me. How likely is it that Trump tries to contest the election, no matter the numbers, and kicks it to the SC? And if he did, how likely is it that all 5 R justices vote to let him steal it? Someone calm me down.

I’m obsessing over NC too. I’d love to see one or both state leg chambers flip. I seriously could use a win right now and that would make my life so much better.

Well I suppose it could be likely. But I don’t think they would take the case unless the election was not clear cut. I don’t think they would just take the case no matter what.

Judging by the number of people who believe the Fox News talking point that Pelosi is the reason they can’t pass the stimulus package I’m going to say they’re hedging their bets. 😭

It only takes 4 to decide to take the case, right? You have a lot more faith in the Court than I do.

If they take the case with a totally uncontested election then they are basically nullifying the constitution and setting themselves up to decide every election. It wouldn’t be an election anymore it would just be oh hey let me ask the Supreme Court who is president.
