Just waited over an hour to vote. Can’t believe I have to do this again.

He's going to win though, yes?

I think Brown will win, which will be frustrating since he'd be toast against pretty much any non-MAGA Republican. He's very lucky, too. He keeps surviving against bad Republican candidates. Had Kasich grown a sack and followed through with running for Senate in 2018, Brown would've lost, even in a Trump mid-term.

Issue 1 is on the ballot to fix gerrymandering. I suspect it has more to do with abortion though. Ohio was the first state to vote to enshrine abortion into our state constitution. The republican senate candidate Bernie Moreno is a scumbag that has said he's against abortion with no exceptions.

Senate hopeful Bernie Moreno addresses controversial comments about women voters and abortion

Moreno, in a newspaper interview was partially apologetic – but also partially defiant – over comments he made last month questioning why suburban and older women vote based on the issue of abortion.

Moreno sought to change that perception, telling the Times – as he’s said before on the campaign trail this year – that he supports “common-sense restrictions” on abortion restrictions, including exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother, and that he “respects the will” of Ohio voters who put abortion-rights guarantees in the state constitution last year.

He also asserted that, in the current political climate, “there is no ability to pass any abortion legislation in Washington, D.C., one way or another.”

I was in and out of voting at lunch hour in 10 minutes or less. Sorry to the rest of my Ohioans that got stuck in lines. I'm in a fairly small village/suburb of Dayton, voting is generally fairly quick. I think I had to wait an hour during the last Presidential election, but only because I waited till after 5 when everyone got off work.

You would think after all of the prior issues, each state would require thorough testing of machines prior to election day to ensure there are no problems.

New ballots are on the way after malfunction, according to election chair of Pennsylvania's Cambria County​

From CNN's Haley Britzky
The top official of Cambria County, Pennsylvania, told CNN the voting malfunction at polling places this morning was caused by a printing error, and new ballots are on their way to polling places.
Scott Hunt, who is Cambria County’s president commissioner and also chairs the county’s election board, said machines in the county couldn’t read ballots cast electronically today, because a barcode on them was printed incorrectly.
Hunt said once the issue was discovered, the county asked its printing company in Pittsburgh to reprint ballots. County employees traveled the 70 miles west and are expected to bring back and distribute those reprinted ballots across Cambria County this afternoon.
Ballots that voters cast already and cannot be read by the machine will be hand-counted, Hunt said.
“At this point, our focus is getting people to vote. Their votes will count,” he said.
Mail-in ballots were not affected by the printing issue, Hunt added.

"The worst we’ve ever seen": Issues in Apache County, Arizona, preventing voters from casting ballots​

From CNN’s Danya Gainor
Some voters in Apache County, Arizona, were turned away before they could cast ballots on Election Day due to faulty machines, with voting issues “the worst we’ve ever seen,” Katherine Belzowski, assistant attorney general at the Navajo Nation Department of Justice, told CNN.
The faulty machines, which are printing only propositions and not the candidates, on the ballots, are forcing poll workers to use express voting machines, or EVMs, Belzowski said. Each polling location in the county has only one EVM, and the machines are prone to freezing.
It is unclear what is causing the technical difficulties, but officials say voting issues are not new to Apache County.
“This isn’t the first time Apache County has had voting issues on Election Day, but this is the worst we’ve ever seen it,” Belzowski said. The Navajo Nation Department of Justice is looking into potential legal action to “at the very least” keep polling locations open late Tuesday.
A Democratic poll watcher in the county told CNN the voting difficulties are a “disgrace.”
Some voters in Apache County are encountering wait times of over two hours because of the difficulties, and locations are running out of backup provisional ballots.
“This is a very poor part of this country, and people can’t miss work like they can elsewhere,” the poll watcher said.
Some voters were initially turned away but legal groups, including the Navajo DOJ, quickly advised against this and encouraged the use of EVMs and provisional ballots, Belzowski said.
Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes couldn’t confirm the reports out of Apache County during a Tuesday morning news conference, but said, “If, in fact, you do have a circumstance as a voter at a polling location in Arizona, don’t go away and don’t let anybody outside of that space turn you away.”

What should I order at Maggionos? Although something was said about family dining.

 

[drayer54]

I’ll start with research



Later is an election watch party tonight. Should be… interesting.

 

[MacIrish75]

They’ve got one in Carmel, it’s not too bad. If you’ve got a big group and like similar things family style can be a good deal. A lot of the Midwest favorites are on the menu for that, but if you’re ordering on your own, their seafood is actually pretty good. Linguine di Mare and Shrimp Fra Diavolo are solid.

It's solid chain Italian food. It's all pretty good. I like the calamari but the consistency isn't always there. The beef tenderloin medallions and veal Parmesan are my go to if I'm going splurge a little. If not I get the baked ziti, chicken Parm, or fettuccine Alfredo

Can confirm. Carmel location has some tasty dishes. Can't go wrong with most of the seafood. Chick Parm, parm crusted cod, shrimp fra diavolo, chick marsala, shrimp fettuccine alfredo......all my go to for individual meals. You don't have to order Family style. But if you have somewhere to keep leftovers, definitely go for it. Fresh out of college, we used to hit up that place on a Sunday and have food to last us 3 days after. lol. Recently attended a wedding rehearsal dinner there and the spread was legit. Great place.

IT GETS BETTER

 

[NDVirginia19]

Sometimes I feel like I actually envy people like that who somehow missed the news that Biden dropped out. They’re probably a lot happier than all of us here on this board lol

 

[ColoradoIrish]

That whole ignorance is bliss thing is pretty true 😂

Everything about her is fake af-

You can have your camera app open and be on a call at the same time.

Can't be happy about that result if you're on team Trump.

At the same time, what a fucking disaster the DNC is. How the FUCK do you have a guy who's never run a business well, inherited ~400M from his father, invested his money into CASINOS AND REAL ESTATE and STILL went bankrupt.

And you let *that* guy beat your candidate in terms of who's more trustworthy? My goodness what a shit operation lol.

Hey Toronto. Who do you think wins tonight? I give a slight edge to Trump but nothing would surprise me.

Gattaca, Drayer, Bishop, Seek, Irish1 and everybody else feel free to chime in.

Harris, and I think fairly comfortably when all is said and done. I just can't see Independents, who crawled over broken glass to vote against Trump in 2020 and against his hand-picked candidates in 2022, turning around and voting for Trump in 2024.

The polling has been off and some of the exit polls coming in are pretty funky.
