Just ironed my flag, and heading out to a local pub. A good buddy will arrive in town at nine, I'll pick up Sheb at the train station at a bit past ten, and then we'll be heading to the most notorious bar in town to ride the wave 'til morning.

Soundtrack for tonight.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

I'd like both the Libertarians and the Green party to gain more prominence because choices, but Stein barely breaches 2% as it is.

Lol Helgo. :) You guys go and have fun.

Also, just out of curiosity, American Flag or Belgian German flag? edit: Whoops, Sheb is the one from Belgium, Helgo is in Germany.

I, for my part, will be employing either an American or Gasden flag for my End Of The Republic celebration.

This guy is the record holder for personal lawsuits
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Lee_Riches

He has filed 2600 of them (some of them not even at actual people, but things such as the planet Pluto and inanimate objects or concepts). while trump's organization has filed over 3500. It's a given that there will be hundreds of lawsuits over anything that doesn't go Trump's way. He wears them down in court, that's how he wins. The question now is can you out-lawyer an election? I don't think so but it would be fun to see him try.

Given that the courts would be in federal, I think, the money to run the court would come from the Federal government, so, the only money he'd be burning is his own, and the taxpayers.

You want actual illegal activity?

My polling place had a loudspeaker truck for trump driving around the parking lot, that was even closer than the people with signs were standing.

Last I checked that was very very illegal.  Yet no-one did anything.

Election officials aren't cops, there's not a lot they can do.

Dunno if it's a federal thing but that's definitely illegal under florida state law, yes. Video, maybe? Upload, send license plate number to cops.

So I pulled up to the library today and noticed all the cars, and the flag by the door.

All right! November 8!

The polling people I asked about it claimed to not know how to report it.  Supposedly there is supposed to be a sherrif on site at each polling place.  You could hear that loudspeaker(faintly) even inside the building.  It seems to me that it was pretty blatantly being allowed to happen.

Can't seem to find any reliable info on where to report this to.  Local police does not seem appropriate.  Lots of sites talking about this kind of behavior and saying to report it to the polling people, but no info about any kind of higher level authority.

Not sure if there IS a higher level, like Federal level, authority.

Now just think, when this is all over, you'll get to lie down in your bed and go to sleep finally relieved that what's done is done, and we can finally move ahead.


And when you wake up, it'll be November 8th.

Local police should be appropriate, tbh. Breakin' law's breakin' law. There's hotlines and stuff floating around, though. Xkcd's thing had one, pretty sure there's one on clinton's site... hell, even the GOP is running one.
