No. I wasn't aware of this until a couple days ago when I went to look up MY early voting site. I thought the GOP voting changes bill got struck down in its entirety, so I'm not even sure why the big city-containing counties still have fewer days of early voting.

A couple posters have worked on campaigns and it's a super niche thing to know about Florida early voting is interesting to look at because normally it's trend starts heavily republican and finishes strong dem, so we'll see what happens since the polls started tightening after early voting began.

Trump supporters see Kirk as a sellout and a traitor. Yup. Policy-wise, Kirk is the definition of an Illinois Republican - he's left of the party on a handful of issues including same sex marriage, and he believes in climate change. So he had already lost any of the Trumpeters or the like anyway. Now he's losing centrists because he's acting like a racist asshole towards a veteran. He's going to lose.

Both sides, #politicsasusual If you really look it at through unbiased eyes, you'll see that this actually proves how Democrats are bad for making Republicans say dumb and racist things. Trump set a fundraising record for his campaign the day the p****-grabber tape broke, accounting for more than 1/3 of his funds for the month. Man, it was just so mean of Clinton to call half of his supporters deplorable. and just posting this image because I came across it an love it and this regarding the 'next' Trump tape that is definitely going to drop (probably stored in the same vault as the Michelle Obama "whitey" tape) Edited October 28, 2016 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
