2022 Midterm Elections (Abandon hope all ye who enter here) butnahhh. or maybe?

Hey at least it’s free to get into NJ. You have to pay to get out. (Really the bridge tolls are only on leaving NJ).

At least the vast majority.

signature verification on every ballot envelope, but also, every mail ballot has to be cross-checked with election day poll books to make sure no one double votes. Various direct propositions have created this system where each modification makes it “easier to vote,” but it needs to be streamlined like the other mail-states do it.


all california counties are supposed to give an update on uncounted ballots in their possession by today. the secretary of state will publish that on their website.

then each county will update vote totals according to their own schedule. LA county only twice a week, OC every weekday, etc…

Looks like drms have a shot at CA (currently red leaning) 3, 13, and 22 and an outside shot at 27.

I think we celebrated this getting called on election night, but we never circled back to see the final margin.

Lolz I didn’t even know that guy ran again.

Was honestly a little worried about that one after seeing all the LePage signs in central Maine when I drove through there. I know LOL central Maine and LOL signs, but we’ve been burned hard by Maine voters recently.

I told my son I’m an early gen Xer and he laughed and called me “almost a boomer”. Kid is drawing live to no Christmas presents this year.

IIRC it’s the 4th largest legislative body in the English speaking world.

Interesting thread.

The California house has 80 members for about 40 million people.

NH has 400 house members for 1.4 million people.

The disparity there is like 52! levels of mindblowing

What if we took this meme and replaced “poor southern conservatives” with “poor inner-city blacks” and “republican” with “democrat”. Pretty fucked up right?

“Poor people are still poor” isn’t really a party thing. It’s just coming off as an out-of-touch asshole (unsurprising coming from Occupy Democrats)

She’s up by 86 votes with 2,000 votes left in Pueblo, but it’s been breaking around 50-50, slight edge to her in Pueblo in the last couple drops. We’re not dead, but it’s not looking good. The batch that put her ahead came from a rural county that was reportedly out of votes.
