    I have a strong feeling that Fetterman is going to lose today. It is still Pennsyltucky.

    At least Mastriano will go away.

    Just voted. No time for Chicken Littles today. Even if you end up being right, I don’t need your premeditated misery.

    Yeah, people said the sky wasn't falling when Trump started making inroads on Election Day 2016.

    My longstanding tradition has been to write in for the offices where Republicans have been unopposed. But I’m so tired of the Alabama Democratic Party never being able to change its own diaper. I will do a write-in for the governor’s race, because the woman who got the D line is a religious nutcase (and also spent something like $10k on the whole election.) Maybe I’ll vote Libertarian in some of the races where they are the only ones running against a statewide Republican. If they can pull 20 percent in a statewide race, they automatically make the ballot next cycle without having to petition their way on.

    I did a bunch of write ins this year. It was the first time I have ever written in names, but there are no good whacky third parties on the ballot anymore.

    It was particularly fun for Congress. I won't say who I wrote in, but I know he lives in my district and I actually think he would be a great Congressman.

    Don't insult White Castle like that.

    At least when you, um, dump the remains of a White Castle experience, it's usually done.

    The other leaves a stain that may never go away in this country.

    Voted a week ago. And given where I did, any Republican who claims that early voting didn't matter wasn't where I was.

    They can jam their voter suppression crap. With any luck, enough of them will go away to reverse much of that damage ... and goodness know how much else they've gleefully destroyed.

    Exact same thing for me.

    At least I got to take my daughter, who still gets very excited to help me fill out my ballot and get her sticker. She even said, “Only ONE dot?!”

    Tommy should have published this before election day.

    I'm jealous of all you fuckers with only 1 to 5 votes to cast. My ballot was 93 races, IIRC. Cast my ballot Friday at work during company time at least.

    Imagine all the money being spentth on this election - $18 BILLION - being spent on addressing the problems they are all talking about instead of just being used to allow them to talk about the problems.

    I only had six races and one item in my ballot. All but the gov race are competitive.
