    we have both now with harris vote, I know historically with new Pres the mid terms can vary mostly turnout, but its a different place now with polarization more than ever and media blast. You'd think with the right message turnout would be good and I think it will be.

    It's bad. They shouldn't do that. I see most of the challenges were thrown out. That's good. All legitimate votes should be counted--even the ones that disagree with me.

    Also, all the Georgia republicans who are voting for Herschel Walker are ridiculous. I understand wanting people in office who ostensibly represent your values, but I think it's more important to have people in office who are competent and aren't exhibiting signs of TBI.

    While it's true the challenges were thrown out, there are people who were unable to fight the challenges and precincts where election workers were so overwhelmed not all were heard. It's like DeSantis arresting 20 mostly Black people for voting. Doubt there will be convictions but there are confirmed reports many Black people are now afraid to vote or to help others vote. The smallest mistake could mean 5 years in prison.

    I just voted. I ended up going down the ticket but I read extensively most candidates stances on things. Even though I was pretty sure I knew, I still wanted to read their stances to see if it's more middle of what's being portrayed (it's so polarized I didn't want to be gaslit on an issue from where I stand and be made to be a fool). It took me almost 2 hours to vote and if was time well spent.

    An Ohio man was arrested for shooting a neighbor dead, in front of his child, because he thought said neighbor was a Democrat.

    They've already called the races in North Carolina and Kentucky. It looks like we get more of Tim Scott and Rand Paul, unfortunately.

    Florida Republican legislature Drew an election map that favored Republican. DeSantis rejected it because it didn't favor Republicans enough. He hoped that Florida by itself could flip the House.

    My niece lives in North Carolina. She is 9 months pregnant. She and her husband stood in line on first day of early voting. She only got one vote. Fetus doesn't voted.
