I think they do the thing where you get so many visits per month before you hit the pay wall. Since it’s a poll they did with ABC, there might not be other options for looking at it.

The number of votes cast isn’t looking very good for the general election. Then again, they have open primaries. I suppose it’s possible there were spoiler votes in an effort to push for a runoff on the Republican side.

Thank you, @orenwolf for reopening! I have a feeling this thread will start getting busy again soon.

Good to see this thread back, thanks @orenwolf .

Some more Roy Moore news, not of the good variety. Breitbart or somebody noticed the date and place of Roy Moore’s signature in the yearbook were added after the signature – reason unknown – and now that’s being used to call the accusation into question.

With Trump’s recent outrage directed at CNN for their reactions on Jr’s WikiLeaks story, I’m sure he’ll be directing his ire at Fox News any moment now for it’s incorrect reporting on his BFF Moore…

With Doug Jones on his way to the Senate, you might wonder who this person is. Here’s a longish interview that shows he’s still not Roy Moore (!!!). He’s a smart guy who knows the difference between being a pro and being a weirdo, and thankfully he’s going the pro route.

I’ve read that $100k is the magic threshold that gets a candidate recognized, supported and funded by the Democratic Party.

What!? My district has no GOP candidates!?

It appears there isn’t a major GOP frontrunner, though many people filed. Even so, the Democrats might actually flip my deep red gerrymandered to hell district.

Today’s the primaries, and here’s the Democratic ballot for my district:

I really can’t stand our election system sometimes… I really shouldn’t be voting for all of these…

EDIT

Finally voted, we shall see how it goes. The place was loaded for the first time in a primary that I saw.

It turns out, when you make it easier for people to vote, they do.
