I voted early today.  They had a new procedure here involving paper print outs.  I don't know if it is required by newer voting laws or something they just did locally. 

1.  They gave me a slip with a 5 digit code to punch in as well as a blank sheet of paper (with a header). 
2.  At the electronic voting machine, you insert the paper in the feeder. 
3.  Punch in your number code and vote electronically like they have been doing it for years here (all touch screen now). 
4.  Once done, the voting machine prints your votes out on the paper.  I could read the votes.  I should have taken a photo as I don't remember if there were bar codes or other marks. 
5.  You then take the paper to feed into a final scanner which reads and records your vote.  It keeps the paper. 

Not sure how this will work on busier days, but I like the idea that they keep a paper record of votes.  Makes it a lot easier to audit the numbers later.

So I'm pretty sure election tampering like this would demand calls for impeachment if it was a Republican president manipulating things behind the scenes (and consulting dems in congress about it):

Yeah, I asked that question of all of my Biden puffing Facebook friends the other week when it first came out that he was on his knees begging the Saudis to hold off so as to take some pressure off liberals.

Ask them some very pointed questions why would be considered collusion to affect the outcome of an election... you know, actual collusion, not the fantasy lies dreamed up by Democrats to get Trump.

As them repeatedly to explain it to me.

Not one of those *expletive deleted*ing cowards responded.

Gee, I wonder why.

Reason 274,928,923 why I hate liberals.

They're already claiming voter suppression in GA
More than likely means they know they've likely going to lose

And people are laughing at them because turn out has surged in virtually every demographic, including the suppressed, repressed, and oppressed GKDPUIOHD+123987 POC, POC+ POC++ and Super POC communities.

Did you know black people are denied the right to vote? With record turn out it must be true!

Obviously, if Republicans win the midterms, we'll enact the Secret Plan. The one where Donald Trump and Mike Pence (and Putin, natch) install Mitt Romney as Lord Chancellor. And as foretold by the Prophet Joe, he puts them back in chains.

"Just a test".

Even if it was an inadvertent error ("test" makes no sense unless it's purposeful), considering the large percentage of public sentiment not trusting the media with election data, this is pretty bad PR. If it was a "test" they would have used "candidate A" and "candidate B".

Democrats are rolling out the "big guns" now...

I got an e-mail from Barbara Streisand begging for money.

I think they're worried. :)

So assuming that the R's do manage some kind of wave next week, what's the over/under on how long it takes the new majority to become Pro War in Europe?

I'd say about the same for the over/under on how long it takes them to completely and absolutely *expletive deleted*ck up the latest bite at the apple, just as they have every other bite at the apple of power since 1990.

If you can't trust half the polls, then what are the other half showing?  Are half showing one result and half showing another?  Some polls are always skewed away from the others. 

I can sympathize with the distrust of polls especially when they think they may be on the losing end of the election (been there).  The only thing they said right is to vote for your candidate whether you think they will win or not.
