Its looking like Florida could restore voting rights for most convicted felons, according to The New York Times. With 66 percent of precincts reporting, Amendment 4 has 64 percent of the vote.


Something we should all celebrate tbh

I had a physical reaction to that thing swinging so crazy and had to get something to eat to calm down my stomach. what the heck is wrong with me

You care about politics too much

Stop electing people who give the government this much control over your life


Its mostly control over the lives of people less advantaged than me that I worry about

We've seen this on Gamefaqs over and over. The first hour of actual results is worth about 100x as much as all the past results and analysis put together. Actual probability of Rs holding the house is probably over 50% right now.

If all of the mob-like bullying to go vote backfires in their faces

This is actually something that pisses me off about Americans in general. Like it's not your place to try and bully me into voting any more than it is your place to bully me into voting for a particular candidate. No one in this topic was doing this that I saw, but it's something I've observed from multiple places in the real world.

For the record, I voted in this election but did not vote in the past 4 or 5 for which I have been eligible. I also still maintain that voting is actually an irrational decision because the time cost associated with learning about the candidates and actually voting is more significant to me as an individual than the benefit of getting my 0.0001% of a say (or whatever) in who gets elected.

The only reason I even voted this time is because I hate Trump enough that even with minimal research I can say with confidence that voting against his agenda is the right decision for me.

Mitch wants to aggregate power now. Once the Republic is safe and secure we will embark on the project of making it better. But first, the Democrats have to be crushed.

90% of the insufferable sanctimony about voting comes from Dems who only actually care if you vote when you're voting for their side. NYC is a cesspool of these people because there is no reason to bother voting Republican here.

that's not what i said.

they have good morals, they just don't realize that the republican party doesn't actually govern in a way that enforces those morals. they're misguided and nothing i say or show them convinces them because they are set in their ways and are sure they know better.

Democrats will not learn except by having reality pounded into them. The problem is we only have elections every 730 days and the other 729 days the Democrats keep convincing themselves a blue wave is coming.

A blue wave will come when Democrats change how they treat people who don't agree with them on all important issues. Not until then.
