Researchers show that Sanders performed significantly better than Clinton in states with a paper trail:

It was an impossible feat without fraud.

The primaries were a warmup. RIGGED

How many states still allow straight ticket voting? When I lived in Illinois, straight party ticket voting was eliminated. Hated it because we had to vote for 100 judges.

Here in Taxachusetts, we use OCR ballots. You blacken the oval next to your choice. There is no "straight-ticket" option. So, if you want to vote a "straight ticket", you need to scan down the page for all the R's and blacken them and leave the rest blank, except for the ballot questions (of which there are four this year). That's it. Many of the down-ticket races, starting with the US House, may lack an R choice. But, no matter, blank 'em, screw 'em!

Upon arrival at the polling place, you check in, they ask name and address, check you off their list, and hand you a ballot. You go to the booth and mark your ballot. Then you check out, giving your name and address to a second poll worker. They check you off their separate list, and you feed your ballot into the OCR machine.

The machine counts your ballot electronically. If there is a recount, the paper ballots are still there, and can be recounted electronically or by hand.

If there’s a RINO versus a principled Libertarian, I’ll vote for the Libertarian.

The Hildebeest and the DNC than you for your principled voting behavior.

You will be voting to weaken President Trump’s support in the Senate.

Are you also voting for Hillary?

If you are not voting for President Hillary, why would you vote to weaken President Trump?

Your problem is, you don’t really care about policy, you just want to feel good about yourself!

But this asshole doesn’t support Donald Trump. He supports Mitch and himself.

There are some Republicans you shouldn’t vote for anyway.

I don’t see it that way. First of all, the presidential ticket is a different concept altogether. There’s no way I’d ever vote for a Democrat for president.

But this is also my small way of purging the down ballot of RINOs so the GOP can find somebody better next time. Otherwise, the RINO just keeps rising up the food chain and, before you know it, is our nominee for governor, lt. gov, supreme court judge, etc.

Frankly, I’ve decided I’m never again voting for a Bush, regardless how innocent they may seem. Trying to run Jeb for President this time was truly moronic and would have easily handed the presidency to Hillary - and they’ve been working to sabotage Trump ever since.

I’m sorry, That’s FAR more disloyal to the Republican brand, the nation they supposedly love and the conservative cause than anything I’ll ever do.

Yeah it’s a strange situation. The republican candidate was courted by the dems a few years ago. He’s a Navy Seal who went all humanitarian. Kind of an over achiever too. A new age guy I guess? (new world man)

The dem candidate as you said, used to be a republican and seems like typical lawyer/politician. Even got pay to play controversy. No wonder he switched to dem.

My recollection, which isn’t all that great, is based off of the primary race so I probably have a few people and/or positions mixed up or mixed together.

Going to have to go through and research them all again for the general election. Sometime soon eh?

“Missouri elected officials can accept unlimited campaign contributions and gifts from lobbyists.”

What a way to attract nothing but the best among us. /s
