Omg...she’s my representative. And to think all those years we were so blessed to have had Thad McCotter.
In 2016, we were looking mostly at early vote tallies as the polls started closing. And it was like a wake around here. It wasn't until around 9:30pm that the election day vote tallies started pouring in and that's when the celebrations started. Cautiously at first, but by midnight, sobriety was in short supply on Free Republic.
I actually expect a quicker night this time around. I think we will find that the GOP will have done a pretty good job matching the Dems in early votes so the election day votes will just be icing on the cake.
In fact in Florida yesterday (first day of IPEV), the Republicans actually beat the Democrats in early voting. I think the Republicans are ahead in Michigan as well with regard to early votes.
Neither. A candidate admitting he/she lost and a candidate claiming victory on Election Night means nothing. The decision is officially rendered on December 14th when the electors meet in each state and vote.
The reason candidates give concession speeches is to be gracious to the apparent victor but really, the losing candidate normally just wants to get the hell out of there and take a long beach vacation.
I also think we will do better than 4 years ago. An early night would be great. But the left will not accept a Trump victory, no matter how big the margin.
That is just not going to happen as any delay will favor the incumbent (Trump). If the Dems feel they are ahead, they will want to seal their victory on Nov 3. If they feel they are behind, they will use Nov 3 to bus every street bum, drug addict and shut-in they can find to the polls.
A delay can only hurt the Dems, especially as it begins to sink in with even the information challenged electorate that Biden is a crook and completely unsuitable for the presidency. The MSM can only hold back these revelations for so long. They can only hide Biden in a basement for so long. Every day that goes by, Biden is losing more votes.
Right now, it's a race against time and they only have two weeks. It's not looking good for them (the Dems).
If you get in line before the polls close, they are obligated to let all those people still in line vote. There is no way they could get away with doing that, especially as everybody has smartphones these days that can record everything.
But shame on any conservative that shows up that late on Election Day in the first place! I plan to be there at my polling place first thing in the morning.
I hope that you are correct.
Nothing personal but if you came to my Twitter timeline to tell me I was stupid (even passionately), you would get blocked by me as well.
Poor, poor pitiful you. : ) You’re an American and a FReeper. You’ll get over it. What about the other one...
Chubby Michigan Medusa Moron. Sorry Wretch.
Does free gym membership come with that BIG GOV WHITE PRIVILEGE PACKAGE? Use it or lose it.

Please clap. /Jeb
I liked Thad...a lot.
Means nothing. We didn't get an Election night concession speech from Hillary four years ago and it didn't matter then either.
“The only thing that stops us from believing a big victory for the GOP, is the fear of vote fraud.”
Astute. There sure is a lot of that FEAR PORN going around, eh. It’s a self-created narrative that gives PROPS something to talk about. Dead air would be better to listen to. Remember when the teehee went off the air at midnight? She’s I’m getting old.

That phrase always has the unwritten implication "but I think you are wrong."
I didnt go to his twitter page for that purpose but after reading it a while it seemed like a very logical thing to do. Anyone running around at the time saying forcefully that Mueller was secretly team trump and going to indict podesta was being stupid. Really..... he owes me an apology. He did his best to get me to bet him $100 and send it to a friend of his to hold until the bet was settled. He’s a moron. I realize he is a FR favorite. Whatever
please someone tell me that can't happen....
It cannot happen. You vote for a person, not a party.
Yes, I remember when teehee went off the air at midnight. The next thing you know, hardyharhar followed teehee to 2am, then titter after that, playing to 3am, then snickersnicker to 6am. You'd wake up at 6AM and there was guffawsnort, playing on the main channels.
