US Election: 2016

Minus the voting fraud  of Couse 

Don't worry, a grip is being gotten in this respect - highlight mine ...

Donald Trump’s campaign filed a lawsuit Tuesday in Nevada claiming that Clark County benefited Democrats by keeping polling stations open two hours beyond when early voting was supposed to close on Friday.

Clark County, which encompasses Las Vegas, is more than 30 percent Hispanic. An enormous surge in early votes cast by Latinos in Nevada were favorable to Hillary Clinton, giving her nearly a 73,000-vote edge over Trump in the state ahead of Election Day, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported Sunday. Jon Ralston, a political analyst in Nevada, predicted that those votes meant Nevada would go blue.

In the suit, Trump’s campaign alleges that the Clark County Registrar’s decision to keep early polls open “very much appears to have been intentionally coordinated with Democratic activists in order to skew the vote unlawfully in favor of Democratic candidates.” Nevada voting laws say the polls have to stay open to accommodate everyone waiting in line ...

Nevada judge denies Trump request; warns about Twitter trolls
http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/08/politics/nevada-voting-lawsuit-donald-trump/

Washington (CNN) — A Nevada court judge denied a request Tuesday from Donald Trump campaign lawyers to issue an order directing a county registrar of voters to preserve and separate ballots from voting machines in four early voting sites in Clark County, Nevada.

In legal briefs filed Monday night, Trump lawyers had asked for an order to have the pertinent early vote ballots not to be "co-mingled or interspersed" with other ballots after the campaign alleged the county registrar kept polling locations open beyond their designated hours.

Judge Gloria Sturman, of the District Court for Clark County Nevada, ruled from the bench, saying County Registrar of Voters Joe P. Gloria was already obligated by state law to maintain the records that the Trump campaign is seeking.

The judge at times expressed frustration with Brian Hardy, a lawyer for the Trump campaign.

"I am not ordering him (Gloria) to preserve anything," she said, adding, "This is Election Day. He has other things to be doing."

The Trump campaign had said Gloria kept polling locations open "two hours beyond the designated closing time." The lawsuit targeted polling places in the greater Las Vegas area that have larger minority voting precincts.

Dan Kulin, a spokesperson for the county, told CNN that no early voting stations extended their closing times. They did, however, process voters who were in line at closing time to allow as many people to vote as possible.

Judge warns Trump campaign about internet trolls

Trump's campaign also sought information about the people who were present at the sites in dispute -- a request Sturman angrily shot down, expressing her frustration with Brian Hardy, a lawyer for the campaign.

"Do you watch Twitter?" she asked. "There are internet trolls who could get this information and harass people who just want to help their fellow citizens vote."

"Why would I order them to make available to you information about people who work at polls when its not already a public requirement to do so. So that those people can be harassed for doing their civic duty?"

She added: "I'm just puzzled how you think you will use this evidence anyway."

[Chispa]

Many believe Florida Is a must win...... News Flash....looks like some in Florida voted for Mickey Mouse..... [lol:


“Write-in votes are commonly cast for fictional characters such as ‘Mickey Mouse’ and ‘Donald Duck,’ as well as for ‘None of the Above,’ and dead people,” the state’s attorney general wrote in an opinion submitted to the secretary of state in 1999. “It is the opinion of this Office that vote totals should be given only for living human beings.”

I've got CNN, Real Clear, MacLeans, and the CBC going - nobody seems to agree, and I can't be sure if they're projecting or declaring.

Looks like Trump is down in Ohio and Florida - but massive loads of votes to be counted

His Vice President could be Goofy....but then again Joe Biden and Dan Quayle are actually goofy

 

[SeaKingTacco]

NBC has a very good interactive map. They are currently showing Trump in front with 137 electoral college votes and ahead by almost 2 million in the popular. Mind you- Florida is showing as "undecided" in their model and California has not yet closed their polls, sho if he is going to win tonight, Trump better get really far ahead.

Interestingly, Arkansas, the Clinton home state went Trump in a landslide.

 

[tomahawk6]

Fox is doing a pretty good job.

[jollyjacktar]

CBC is showing Trump leading in Florida and ahead overall.  That must really hurt for them to put that up.  It tastes like burning.... ;D

If only there was an interactive showing how many Celebrities are throwing themselves off buildings and bridges at the thought of a Trump win.  That would be interesting.

My prediction, Trump takes Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, New Hampshire while Hillary takes Michigan, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Maine, Nevada. 

Alaska becomes the all important tie breaker
