1. Voted, but only because I took my registration card with me along with my ID.

Our electronic registration system is seriously effed up in Kansas. They did the same thing in 2016. There is some question about provisional ballots that pops up. It is a question for the poll worker, but it confuses them and they think I have to vote with a provisional ballot. It took another poll worker supervisor to tell them I was a bona fide voter. That question didn't pop up with the two gentlemen in front of me. I couldn't see the screen, so I don't know what the question was. I have some serious suspicions.

3. Provisional was always fine for me, it gets counted in the end.

5. Kansas threw out thousands of provisionals in 2016.

Never counted them. Another Kobach legacy.

6. If they aren't needed to settle a close election, then I don't care.

2. If Michigan REJECTS Trump, so will ........

So will Pennsylvania Wisconsin, closely watched Minnesota, even Florida.

The GOP is nervous as a Party with al the shit and lies Trump is pulling. Republicans lack courage to stand up for any principles they once had. Rather than standing up for people, they bow before Trump and praise him. People see that.

4. Very much agree.

Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania are cut from the same cloth. Usually if one of them votes a specific way, the other two are more than likely to follow those results.

9. Minnesota did reject Trump...

Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, not so much.

10. Just by the slimmest of Maragins.....

In Olmsted County alone, Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 15% .

Tim Walz barely hung on by less than 2% to win the 1st CD against Jim Hagedorn in 2016. This time, it is a little different.

12. "Maragins" only count in horseshoes and hand grenades... NT

7. Noted no mention of Prop A in Missouri

The hoped roll back of Right to Work previously passed by the Republican Legislature. Just back from voting and the poll worker told me that voting 🗳 was very steady this morning. More than he expected.

8. I hope prop A is defeated bigtime today

I voted against it this morning.

[Sherman A1]

11. Agreed

but, we know that our Charming and "Esteemed" GOP Legislature as directed by ALEC will be working on means to resurrect it. This isn't over by a long shot.

13. Sure, the reich wing never gives up on their agenda

The democratic party needs to be the same when we put them back into power.
