2024 US Presidential Election: First Polls Close in 24 Hours

Took my mom to vote early in NC today.

She’s disabled, so we got curbside voting. No line, and they give you the ballot to fill out in your car. Pretty smooth.

She was always gonna vote anyway, one way or another. Still, I’m doing my part.

Peep the sweet sticker we got!

The news says a 3rd grader won a contest for the voting sticker.

Then, we did the most NC thing ever, and hit Bojangles for breakfast.

And Biden was calling their ideas garbage not them garbage…

I mean, all of this is basically just the ‘Air Bud’ - “there’s no rule that says we can’t do a coup” legal theory. Which I don’t think you should really be spending any time worrying about. The real worry would be some kind of super-charged Bush v Gore where there’s some plausible veneer of legitimacy to tip the scales in a super close election. And it’s kind of impossible to figure out what that might look like ahead of time.

We’ve all gotten so used to seeing Trump wear facepaint in public like a teenage goth that we’ve forgotten how goddamn weird it is. I don’t care how Boomer-pilled you are, how the fuck do you take this man seriously at any level?

Lawbro attempts at making me feel less shook are like 30% effective so far. I need some better stuff y’all.

Yes. It’s that PLUS his supporters are in fact garbage and everybody knows it so of course it makes natural sense to assume that’s what he’s saying, because he’d be stating an obvious fact

It’s dumb, but it happened that the words came out that way and now they have to live with it. I blame his staff. You could see from his eyes that he was just reading something that had been written up for him. Given his stutter and diminished faculties “the only garbage was his supporter’s” probably shouldn’t have been the way it was phrased. That whole clip was tough to watch. I don’t think he completed any of the sentences cleanly.

The dumbest thing about this non-story is that Harris didn’t say it. It should lose her zero votes.

Enthusiastic about voting for Kamala…right, Anakin?

Sounds like it would be the perfect time for an executive order to declare the winner of the popular vote the president.

Agree, but it’s a bit hard for Team Kamala to take that position after 48 hours of going HAM on Tony Hinchcliffe.

Right? Johnson stands in the way of legitimate electoral processes? Well, I guess the president just needs to arrest the man for treason. Hard to control the gavel while you’re in a cell.

Why not just issue an executive order declaring Harris the president? Would save us all a lot of fuss.

Sure, im in. Assuming she wins the votes, go for it. Whats the point otherwise?

The current side in power has the US military behind it. Its very hard to structure a coup against the largest military on earth

I follow cfb enough to understand the game is big deal locally but I’m finding it hard to read anything into this.
