So they are basically saying black people are careless with forms?

I can tell you that white people arent more cautious than everyone else.
No they’re saying people of color are more likely to have names that may not be exact matches across all forms of identification. Many Latinx people have two last names but only one might be on their birth certificate vs two on their passport for example.

Also black people are more likely to have apostrophes or dashes in their names but those aren’t always included on identification, or there on one but not the other.

I have been saying for a year that there is going to be a blue tsunami, and I stand by that statement, but I’ll tell you want, the media is really doing the devils work in trying to make it seem like the republicans are gaining a lot of steam. It’s simply not true! The Kavanaugh thing was NOT A WIN for red, nobody saw that, that was “on the fence” and said “that poor man” or “my sons”! The Dems are energized out here, that never changed, it’s only gotten louder and more energetic! The media is out here trying to get more ratings. The trump crowd does not give a single fukk about midterms, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS VOTE AND WE WILL WIN HUGE!!

I do think there's a bit of reverse psychology. There was a certain malaise around Clinton is going to win that only a few people questioned why she was never more than 5 or 6 points ahead of man who sniffled like a coked out prostitute.

Keeping the idea that Republicans are energized, too, keeps the battle narrative going.

538 burned us on Trump. It's hard to trust polls anymore but it looks likely that GOP will hold the Senate somewhere around 51-52 number and that the Dems will regain the house.

I'd honestly settle for regaining the house at this point, at least we can start putting fukk boi on notice out here and mitigate the damage

This logic makes no sense. Not sympathetic to this thinking. Still no reason not to go to the polls and vote anyways. While this dude is a scumbag to keep people from voting a variety of ways, there is no evidence that a vote that hasn't happened yet is going to be tampered with. Not saying it can't happen but that is a bridge you cross when you get there.

In short, this is a dumb reason not to vote.

To be fair 538 was actually the most accurate in regards to Trump. Before the election like in October Nate was pushing the real possibility that Trump could win the electorial college and lose the popular vote. I'll post the article when I find it. Also near the end I think the percentage of Hillary winning on his model was 70% which just means she had close to a 3/4 chance of winning but doesn't mean Trump could not have won with that remaining 1/4 chance.

I have no idea, but I never made a password originally.

Posted about is in the help section with this account and didn't get a response so just riding it out on here unless it gets fixed.
Yeah, go straight to him. He’ll definitely know how to fix it or know who could fix it. How did you make an account with no password though?

Trump's 25% chance to win does not mean Trump had 0% chance of winning.
