    One of my very sweet neighbors headed to the polls undecided but wouldn't vote for Hillary because she's just too corrupt. She was leaning Trump.

    Fantastic. Better a Tim Kaine presidency than a Clinton or Trump one.

    Another party will replace the Republicans. I would look for the Democratic party to split into a center-right corporatist wing (Clinton) and a center-left progressive wing (Sanders). As long as the far right keeps swapping conspiracy theories in their echo chamber they doom themselves to irrelevance.

    Drudge is reporting that 22% of Hispanic voters claim it is their first time voting.

    That's probably the end of Trump right there. Also the end of the two party system in America and we slide ever faster towards one party fascist Democrat rule.

    Both are being called for Trump. Hopefully they will be the first two to lose all that Federal welfare they get come January.

    Shooting near LA polling station: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-azusa-shooting-injuries-20161108-story.html

    1 dead, multiple people shot near polling station; active shooter heavily armed, officials said

    One person was killed and at least three others were wounded Tuesday in an active shooting near a polling place in Azusa.

    Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Capt. Jeff Scroggin said police were dealing with at least one suspect who was heavily armed.

    Few details were released about the shooting, which occurred sometime after 2 p.m. in a residential neighborhood in the area of Fourth Street and Orange Avenue, said Officer Jerry Willison of the Azusa Police Department.

    “This is a very volatile and critical situation,” he said.

    Willison declined to provide the location of the shooting for the safety of the officers and the victims, he said.

    Azusa police urged residents to stay out of the area and asked all residents to shelter in place.

    It was unclear whether any officers were injured in the shooting, Willison said.

    The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said they were assisting police.

    Azusa Union School District issued a lockdown for Slauson Middle and Mountain View Elementary schools about 2:15 p.m., officials said. A nearby daycare center and preschool was also locked down.

    No surprises so far.

    Florida and North Carolina are the first battleground states to close.

    Ummm... quick question.

    The election is like Survivor, where you vote for the person you want to eliminate, right?

    Yeah I called that (one party system) already. A couple of years of Hillary and we will be begging for Obama back, no doubt about it. She's not going to "continue his legacy" she's going to give it a steroid cocktail and throw out all that is decent (if not always my cup of tea) and turn the US into a......well you know!

    I talked to my gun dealer (manages the gun dept at Cabela's) a few minutes ago and he said he'd just sold out of almost everything in 5.56 NATO. :banana:

    Regardless of the outcome of tonight's U.S election the new POTUS will take approximately 64% fewer shirtless photos than Justin Trudeau

    If Hillary takes a shirtless photo she will be impeached and removed.

    Isn't Putin a big shirtless fan too? Regardless of the outcome the new POTUS better take 100% fewer topless photos or the whole US population will jump ship to any country that takes blind/traumatized people.
