    There is no more biased source than Donald Trump’s own words. Do you believe his entire campaign has been one big lie?

    That is one theory.

    Anything from THIS CENTURY?!?!

    That story comes from an era when loyal Democratic voters were burning school buses to keep black kids from being integrated.

    Newflash, Cheeto: if you're in line when the polls close, you still get to vote. No matter how long it takes.

    The people who would be showing up two hours later than everybody else to get in line to vote.

    Note that they said the polls would remain open an extra two hours, not that anyone in line would be allowed to vote even if it took two more hours.

    The head of the House impeachment caucus said "A president-elect Hillary Clinton is doomed. Pure and simple. She’ll barely have enough time to take down all of Obama’s self-portraits before we kick her out of the White House."

    That's because she's already confessed to doing things that were a hundred times worse than anything Nixon did.

    Despite your claims you think trump is the popular candidate your little bitching betrays you. You know those votes are for Hillary which is why you do not want them counting. The only way the republicans can win is by keeping people in the democrat areas from being able to vote. They are not the popular choice and you and the filth like you are well aware your deplorable asses are losers like trump.

    So your contention, then, is that it's necessary to show up two hours before the polls close to be considered a valid voter? :rotfl:

    No, no, wait, let me laugh a bit more. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

    Fortunately for sanity and democracy, the judge had the same response as I did.

    Probably Hispanic Democrats, but the larger point is that they aren't showing up late at all. Nevada election law requires that anybody in line at closing time must still be allowed to vote. I'm pretty sure most states have such laws, as they should.

    No you fucking moron.

    If the polls close at 6:00 PM, you need to get in line by 6:00 PM to vote.

    But if they say they'll keep the polls open till 8:00 PM in one area with a particular ethnic profile, what does that say? Obviously that people can show up after 6:00 PM, when polls close for everyone else, and yet still vote.

    That lets them see how many extra votes they need and start stuffing ballot boxes.

    Donald Trump: So crazy even Rupert Murdoch won't endorse him.

    I've been wondering for a while whether Trump would get a general election endorsement form the New York Post, and we finally have confirmation that he won't. The Post held out to the bitter end, but Trump never gave them the excuse they needed to be able to endorse him.

    Trump's lawyers really should be referred to the bar disciplinary committee for this nonsense. This lawsuit is no less frivolous than sovereign citizen lawsuits claiming they aren't subject to the income tax.

    Concerning my prediction that we will never have another Republican president (thus reducing our two party system to a much more streamlined one party system!) because the math dooms them:
    the electoral college system gives the Democrats a built-in advantage - an advantage that can only grow with future Democratic victories. Bottom line the Republicans have to overcome obstacles & "thread the needle" while the Democrats just have to show up. So the Democrats are starting the 100 yard dash with a 20 yard advantage. Discuss!
