tumbleweed the wanderer	Sat Nov 10 13:56:40 DeSantis is the (white) R running for Florida governor Gillum is the (black) D running for Florida governor
Hot Rod Revved Up	Sat Nov 10 14:14:49 DeSantis won the election, so did Scott win the Senator seat but the Democrats are trying to steal them.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Sat Nov 10 14:42:57 or they are counting legitimate votes
Hot Rod Revved Up	Sat Nov 10 15:01:10 When a truck drives up in the middle of the night to deliver ballots that are not secured, it raises a flag.
jergul large member	Sat Nov 10 17:35:14 "Trumps are cunts" It should be a slogan for 2020 to bolster female support.
jergul large member	Sat Nov 10 17:36:27 HR Had the seal been broken on any of the ballot boxes? If not, then they are secure as per normal safety guidelines for such things.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Sat Nov 10 23:29:08 I doubt serious;y there was even a seal on them. The only ***POSSIBLE*** way to know that for sure is to have been there when they were first delivered.
patom Member	Sun Nov 11 08:51:08 In Maine we have, for the first time, Ranked Choice Voting for national offices. In the case of the need to count the votes to find a winner. All paper ballots are escorted Augusta by State Police Officers. There is one of the races that are being decided by RCV currently. The second district in Northern Maine. The incumbant (R) Bruce Poliquin has 46.5% The challenger (D) Jarred Golden has 45.5% The next challenger has 6% The last challenger has 2% the second choice on the ballots of the final 2 candidates will determine the outcome of the race. The winner has to have over 50% of the vote.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Sun Nov 11 10:23:05 Do you mean he gets to pick who he wants to win the race purely from his choice?
Rugian Member	Sun Nov 11 10:33:24 patom Member Sun Nov 11 08:51:08 In Maine we have, for the first time, Ranked Choice Voting for national offices. Why the hell did LePage agree to that?
patom Member	Mon Nov 12 07:11:21 LePage didn't agree to it. It was put into a state referendum. The voters chose it. The Republicans are all squirming and crying because they believe that Golden is going to win a majority of the 8%. That is if you believe the exit polls. I'll wait and see for sure. One thing with this system, it is a lot cheaper than having a run off election.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Mon Nov 12 07:18:13 But, is it fair? I can see the winner on the communist party ballot making a deal with the far left for a few choice jobs in their administration.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Mon Nov 12 07:26:07 Heck, that's what they do in Europe. Trade with enough party's to form a government.
patom Member	Mon Nov 12 07:27:00 The winner of the communist party has no say in who his voters pick as a second choice, or third choice for that matter. The voters are still making a choice.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Mon Nov 12 07:35:35 "the second choice on the ballots of the final 2 candidates will determine the outcome of the race." I understand that to mean that if the communist party occupies that position it would be his/her choice who is the winner. That is assuming the communist party qualifies for your ballot. I have seen them on the California ballot usually every election.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Mon Nov 12 07:39:20 Or are you saying that the voters for the party's in that position would have a second runoff vote based on the two big ones?
patom Member	Mon Nov 12 07:41:23 There were 4 candidates for this seat. Candidate Party Votes Pct. Bruce Poliquin* Republican 131,466 46.2% Jared Golden Democrat 129,556 45.5 Tiffany Bond Independent 16,500 5.8 William Hoar Independent 6,933 2.4 284,455 votes, 95% reporting (399 of 418 precincts) * Incumbent Maine is the first state in the nation to begin using ranked-choice voting: Instead of selecting just one candidate in a race, voters rank them in order of their preference, and those rankings are used to decide the contest if no candidate receives a majority at the outset. Look to the Second District, which covers the vast, sparsely populated majority of the state’s land area, as a barometer of how the state’s famously independent-minded voters are feeling about the state of the country. The Republican incumbent, Representative Bruce Poliquin, faces Jared Golden, a Democratic state lawmaker, in a district that gave President Trump his only electoral vote from New England in 2016. See all Maine results Portland Bangor Tiffany Bond and William Hoar both ran as independents. To my knowledge nobody ran under the Communist banner.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Mon Nov 12 07:51:27 OK, I got it now. I am a great deal better looking than I am smart. If you saw me that would speak volumes. :)
