Harris is not expected to win Ohio, but she appears to be overperforming so far in JD Vance's home state.

At what point does this amount to driving around in property stolen from Ruby Freeman, which would be totally on brand for Rudy?

2/ I told her the polls close at 8pm. That if she wasn’t in line at that time she wouldn’t be able to vote. I told her voice deserves to be heard. I’m glad to see that she was able to register and vote.

In Ukraine, first clash with North Korean troops,
Causing a stir among news group loops.
The tension is high,
As the conflict draws nigh,
Let's hope for peace before the war droops.

I’m so fucking mad right now. A black woman was almost turned away because she thought she registered to vote through a third party. Turns out that third party took her information and didn’t send it off to be registered (I think it’s a scam anyway).

I called the election commission and walked her through voting provisionally. She was reluctant as there is a bit of paperwork and she has somewhere to be. I pulled her aside and looked her dead in her eyes and said “I really want you to vote”

Trump also wins Alabama, Missouri, Oklahoma and Tennessee. These are all red states, so no surprises there. Trump was expected to win these states

Meanwhile Kamala Harris wins blue states of Maryland, Massachussetts, and the District of Columbia. She was expected to win these

“As Maine goes, so goes the nation.” So proud of my home state for a ballot question seeking to limit the kind of massive corporate spending that has plagued this election cycle, and all elections since Citizens United.

Headline: Growing bipartisan support for Maine initiative to get dark money out of politics

While political parties have tried to set themselves apart from one another this election cycle, leaders across the political spectrum in Maine have found a common interest in one of the state’s ballot initiatives, which ultimately seeks to get dark money out of politics nationwide by teeing up a U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

Question 1 on the Nov. 5 ballot, which aims to place limits on donations to political action committees that independently spend money to try to support or defeat candidates, has been endorsed by 128 civic and business leaders in Maine, ballot question committee Maine Citizens to End Super PACs announced Monday.

The initiative stems from legal scholar Lawrence Lessig, who told Maine Morning Star that there has also been growing excitement in democracy reform circles across the U.S about the effort in Maine.

Among the endorsers are Maine’s Democratic U.S. Reps. Chellie Pingree and Jared Golden, who are both running for reelection and have previously supported other campaign finance reform efforts in Congress.

“Corporations and the ultrarich have drowned out the voice of the American people, spending billions of dollars to elect candidates who would further line the pockets of big business,” Pingree wrote in a statement to Maine Morning Star. “The power should be in the hands of everyday voters, not corporations. The ‘Yes on 1’ campaign to end Super PACs

Poll watcher was asking for something inappropriate (he wanted to take a photo of the final vote tally and send it off to his organization). I called the election commission and they were like “nahh..” and “nope”. I told the poll watcher that the only thing I could give him was a vote tally.. we will see how this shakes out at the end when the polls close tonight.
