Chris Geidner @chrisgeidner

BREAKING: #SCOTUS will not stop the Census citizenship question trial from beginning on Monday. Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch noted that they would have stopped the trial.

Lawrence Hurley @lawrencehurley

No public notation of how Kavanaugh voted on this. Five votes are needed for a stay to be granted


What constitutional reasoning would be used in a case like this to not allow for Ross to be brought to trial? Aside from just covering Trump's ass that is.

FACT CHECK: The cop-killer featured in Trump's incendiary video blaming Democrats for his release was actually released by Joe Arpaio's office in 1998 and re-entered the country during the George W. Bush admin https://yhoo.it/2SEnlb9
Bracamontes also used an AR-15 assault-style rifle when he killed the California officers. Trump and Republicans have opposed making the gun illegal. It was most recently used by the gunman who killed 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue last week.

Boy.

WTF are these people on about?

Guilfoyle said that a blue wave would make the country unrecognizable.

"If they get in on November 6th and take over the House or the Senate, God forbid, you will not recognize America," Guilfoyle said. "So I'm asking every fearless patriot out there to get out and get your friends involved… Otherwise you are going to get the Star Wars bar scene."

There's going to "aliens"? There's going to be a band? There's going to be smugglers for hire?

On the ground, is Trump's caravan invasion rhetoric resonating outside of the faithful. I'm wondering if any of his 2016 supporters are going to sit this one out due to his hate that permeates every time he gets close to a microphone?

We are so lucky Sandoval didn't want to be a senator.

I mean, in a sense, yes, but I'd rather have Sandoval as a Republican Senator than basically, all other Republican Senator's currently sitting. I actually think if it was possible, and he was open to it, Obama nominating Sandoval to replace Kennedy would've been a nice end around.

Black turnout continues to drive the shifting demographic make-up of the electorate. Black share of the electorate is now about 12.2%, well above 2014 and 2016 at this point, and nearly at where 2016 was going into Election Day. Hispanic share has remained flat all week, at about 12%, and right now, there are more Black voters than Hispanic voters. What is interesting, Hispanics are disproportionally newer voters: about 44% of Hispanics to date did not vote in the 2014 election, compared to about 30% among all voters so far. I do think this will change into the weekend. White is still just over 70%, though I still think it lands in the 67-68% range. Overall, turnout among Black voters is 27.6%, and among Hispanics, it is 22.2%.

One thing on Hispanics – turnout among possible Maria migrants is fairly low. I was always skeptical of the fallout from the storm really changing the math. That being said, Hispanic, and specifically Puerto Rican turnout over the next four days could very much impact this race

And for how Gillum and Nelson can win:

So lastly, the question I get on twitter all the time how does Gillum or Nelson win if more Republicans vote than Democrats?

Right now, I think a turnout model where the electorate is 2% more GOP than Democrat is a pretty fair place to peg it, given the number of GOP super voters left to vote. If we have 7.25 million votes, that is 150,000 more Republicans than Democrats casting a ballot.

So, if you believe the polling, Gillum is winning a few more points of Republicans than Democrats, and winning NPAs.

Let's assume the final electorate is 41 R – 39 D – 20 NPA (it may be higher than this), and Gillum wins just 2% more Republicans than DeSantis wins Democrats – and he wins the NPAs by 8. I think both of these assumptions are conservative, and realistic.

What happens: Gillum wins by about 1.5%.

There is a long way to go, but if the polling is right, the electorate is molding into shape for Gillum to bring it home.

#BringItHome, Florida friends. Tomorrow is a lovely day for much of Florida.

Yeah, most travis county polls are 1+ hour. Guess people assumed it would calm down at the end and now they're stuck in line anyway.

The lady in Georgia who Oprah visited while canvassing for Stacey Abrams said that she planned to vote early, but so far the lines were too long. Like, that's not gonna get any better.

I see the various branches are getting together to get on-message for the safety of the operation as a whole.

Sienna/NYT has Allred (TX-32), Rouda (CA-48), and Mcbath (GA-6) all ahead in their races.

All LV. +2, +5, +2, respectively
(RV, it turns to +4, +7, +6)

I like it. I really want to see Rohrabacher gone. Fuck Handel too.

Edit: made corrections

I gave money to Rouda to counter Putin's money from clear across the country! RUN THAT RUSSKIE OUTTA HERE!

This kind of thing shows how government can be such a joke sometimes
"Ethics rules mean you can't do this... eh, let's just give you a way around it anyway lol"

wtf

Now we ask the charming question "Why?" Gonna be a fun answer.



Has this fuckboi EVER gotten a good gotcha in EVER? I mean EVER EVER?

I totally agree, but please don't verbalize this. It's brinng back mental pictures of me pacing around our living room watching the Florida results come in as we were getting ready to go out to celebrate Hillary's victory.
