The GOP enguaged in gerrymandering after the 2008 election to ensure that they achieved and maintained a "permanent" majority in the House. Known as REDMAP, they used the 2010 Census, voter data and the GOP controlled legislatures to achieve this goal...

So, here is a question for y'all. Which is the larger, more dangerous problem for the US electoral system: voter fraud, voter supression, partisan control of the state election board or commission, or gerrymandering. The last two could be combined, since most state legislatures have...

:facepalm:

:rofl:

I wonder if they see the irony in this.

Hey, I never said Gore knew what he was talking about. After all he did marry the woman who was responsible for the warnings on record albums about explicit lyrics.  ;D

Let's not overlook the fact that the recount in 2000 was automatically triggered by state law because the vote difference was well below the threshold where a recount is automatic regardless of what the candidates wanted. It didn't matter if Gore wanted one or not. And there was ample...

It seems that the FBI didn't do the takedown in the typical manner as they have with Islamic radicals in the US. In the majority of those cases they have used undercover operatives to act as fellow supporters and provided access to "explosives" and materials to make a bomb, then carefully lead...

Not so much concerned with what happens after the election as what goes on on election day, with supporters on both sides disrupting the voting process by challenging eligibility, imtimidation, and generally slowing the process to the point that regular voters get pissed off and go home without...

Thanks for the tip.

Something else to consider is that Trump seems to have impecable timing when it comes to news cycles. Every time a significant story about Clinton comes out, Trump invariably steps all over it with either a scandle of his own, or spewing vitriol at everyone who doesn't fall in line, or some...

A couple of articles I read quite a while ago said that the pole for weeks before the election were too close to call, then on election day Reagan proved everyone wrong by winning by a large margin. http://swampland.time.com/2012/10/31/remembering-1980-are-the-polls-missing-something/ Carter...

I liked them too. Too bad I can only watch it when I am back in Canada.

What flavor of Koolaid are they serving over in Trumpland? Hillary is serving up grape.  ;D

My point is that there is enough true BS circulating in this election that we don't need to add in items of questionable verasity. O'Keefe has a known history of: 1) leading the interviews in directions where he can later selectively edit the video to completely change the narritive. 2)...

Because we all know that James O'Keefe is a shining star of journalistic integrity.  :facepalm:

That's the problem with silent majorities... they don't seem to understand the meaning of the word silent.  ;D si·lent ˈsīlənt/ adjective not making or accompanied by any sound. "the woods were still and silent" synonyms: completely quiet, still, hushed, inaudible, noiseless, soundless "the...

I just listened to a discussion on this very question. The person being interviewed was a pollster who was asked if there really was a so called silent Trump majority that is throwing the polls off, and would show up on November 8th. He explained that there isn't evidence that these types of...

Any job title that includes the word "Special" means it is time to dust off the resume, you are going to be shuffled out.  :nod:

I hold Mr. Campbell responsible for this. Starting this the same week as the 2012 election. Thank god they haven't started speculating about 2020. Oh, wait. Mike Pence is setting the scene for his run in 4 years.
