"Election" "Day" Minus Three

~The Freeish World's lousiest election system continues to work its dark magic:

5+ hour waits to vote early in Bucks today.

Bucks County elections officials did the bare minimum to comply with court's order to provide voting access through 5PM today.

They staffed some offices with just 1 or 2 people-ensuring long lines.

Voter suppression!

STAY IN LINE. https://t.co/SAkO9QXUWN — James Blair (@JamesBlairUSA) November 1, 2024

Oops, now it's six hours:

Right now in Bucks County PA voters in the GOP stronghold of Levittown are being forced to wait in line for SIX HOURS to vote. Voter suppression underway. https://t.co/s7HpPbId3m — Chris Barron 🇺🇸 (@ChrisRBarron) November 1, 2024

A "free and fair election" is not possible in these conditions. Stop waving that Constitution and get real, wankercons: there's no point having the greatest constitution in the world if you have the crappiest election system in the world. The latter will cost you your country, and the former will not prevent it.

~As longtime readers will recall, I used to appear weekly on Hugh Hewitt's radio show. I occasionally reciprocated by having him on The Rush Limbaugh Show during my guest-hosting stints, and over the years we've done various events together at the Naval Academy and elsewhere. Hugh is both super-professional and the soul of moderation. If you'd asked me to make a list of American pundits least likely to rip out his earpiece and storm off the set, he would definitely have been in the Top Three.

And yet...

EPIC: After the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart and Ruth Marcus spew lies about @realDonaldTrump, @hughhewitt brings the facts about the RNC's PA election lawsuit and then rips off his headset and leaves the #PostLive show.

Hugh: "I'm done!"

Men, get out there and vote. Set up a tailgate, grab some brew, get the corn hole going and make a day out of it.

Yep, we’re watching them do it in real time.

The local government, police and judges are their accomplices.

And they would love some violence, because they have a much bigger dog just waiting for that. Then it’s all over.

Somehow we need to address their big dog, and then take out the garbage.

But I think they are waiting for a rage-filled frontal assault. By all appearances they are trying to evoke this response.

Yesterday here in Ohio, I voted. There was a real crowd of people and the parking lot was full.

I will say it was organized and there were a lot of folks directing traffic in the lot and guiding people where to line up

When I got to the desk to show them my ID and to get the card, the person was cordial. But as usual, when she observed my party affiliation, she got this look on her face like she just bit down on an insect. I watch for it every time I vote and it never fails.

One time ... the woman even said, 'Oh, you're one of THOSE.' It's like they can't help themselves!

Small conservative town in MA. Husband went to vote and one other person there. I went and no other voters were there. The wonderfully friendly personnel (why we’ve lived here for almost 50 years) said that 40 percent of the town has already voted, though they didn’t know the early voting numbers for other years. They did say normal voting by election day is 70-80 percent of the town.

The real question: At what time will the race be called? In ‘16 it was about 7pm west coast time. I’m sure there will be media outlets competing to be the first, even to give the bad news.

When and if it is called in our favor Trump should tell his followers to continue voting and not believe it. Then he should say he’ll come back out and speak when Kamala concedes. When that happens he should repeat the continue voting efforts until polls close.

[mairdie]

I don’t believe she’ll concede early. Not when there’s the expectation that the fleets of ballots will arrive secretly and be “discovered” to announce her triumphant win.

But you’re right on that Trump should be on TV continuously telling his troops to vote regardless of what they hear. Vote until the last time zone has closed off the last place where legal votes are registered.

I wonder how fast Fox will start calling states. In 2020 they called VA minutes after the polls closed.VA always has problems leading to coin tosses, revotes etc. I wonder how VA will play this time.

[mairdie]

I haven’t decided whether to watch this time or not. I was too scared in ‘16 and just watched and rewatched the meltdowns afterwards. Started to watch ‘20 and flaked out, then never watched the coverage. Oh, but I so desperately want to believe and watch this time but I don’t know if I’ve got the courage. Trump is Courage Personified.

I will be watching with my much awaited Trump champagne from his VA vineyard. Actually his sparkling wine 2014.
