Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 10/28/24, 8:08 am

Good news, everyone! My ballot has been counted. It’s very nice to just be able to go to the website (or get it texted to you, if that’s your thing) and confirm it for yourself.

If you’re in King County, you can confirm your ballot has been counted here. If you’re somewhere else in the state, type your country and ballot tracker into your favorite search engine, maybe turn off AI so it doesn’t tell you that the tracks of the horned ballot of Walla Walla County leaves tracks in the snow or whatever. Anyway, pretty easy.

And hey, get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    How almost all cases of actual election fraud are carried out. A relative fills out a ballot for a family member without consent.

    GRAND RAPIDS — An Itasca County woman faces three felony charges after allegedly attempting to vote twice in the general election.

    A criminal complaint says Danielle Christine Miller, 40, of rural Nashwauk, admitted to filling out and submitting an absentee ballot for her mother, who died in August. The fraudulent submission was flagged by election officials before it could be counted.

    “The defendant admitted her deceased mother was an avid Donald Trump supporter and had wanted to vote for Trump in this election but had passed shortly before the absentee ballots were received,” according to the complaint filed last week in State District Court.

    The most logical reason for DJT going up is that those buying the stock assume if Trump wins he’ll feed lucrative government contracts to the company in which he’s the major shareholder. In other words, those stock buyers are betting on America having a corrupt government by next January.

    Since it’s an online poll it may actually favor Democrats. You know, ’cause Rethuglicans are too stoopid to use a ‘puter.

    Well, they are obviously too stupid to use html tags correctly.

    Sampling bias does not “favor” a party. Sampling bias destroys randomality. A non-random poll has a much larger margin of error and the probability that the sought value lies within the CI is destroyed. A dumbshit has a poll that tells him something he “loves”. And that’s it.

    Right now this is good business. Because emotional cripples like Scotty P spend the last week or two right before election day hovering over their screens longing for some affirmation. So hundreds of polls of dubious quality are dumped into the public media space to compete for and manipulate that useless attention.

    https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/elon-musk-trump-hardship-austerity-taxes-rcna177732
    When asked about “tackling the nation’s debt,” he mentioned changing the tax code, and then went on to say there would be some financial difficulty imposed on some Americans. “Most importantly, we have to reduce spending to live within our means,” he said, adding that these efforts will “involve some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity.”
    Later on, Musk said that he would “balance the budget immediately,” adding: “Obviously, a lot of people who are taking advantage of government are going to be upset about that.”
    >> “Some of you may die, but that’ a sacrifice I am willing to make”.

    https://x.com/atrupar/status/1850675298183901343
    For the record, this plan would match cuts implemented by Argentina’s far-right, pro-Trump president, Javier Milei.
    Those policies have helped skyrocket Argentina’s poverty rate to over 50% in the first six months of Milei’s presidency. Between Trump repeatedly praising the Gilded Age and Musk priming everyday Americans for “hardship” if MAGA retakes the White House, it seems quite obvious that a vote for Trump is a vote for extreme wealth inequality and all the suffering that comes with it

    Too bad, Boxcheck Momala. Maybe the ladies of The View could do a 3-hour sitdown with you instead.

    Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, is expected to record an interview with the popular podcast host Joe Rogan on Wednesday morning in an attempt to reach less likely voters, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.

    The podcast – called the Joe Rogan Experience – is seen as a way to reach young male voters, a demographic the Trump team has placed a premium on reaching given their strategy of trying to win the November by juicing their turnout.

    Vance’s scheduled interview at 9am would come just over a week after Trump sat down with Rogan for a three-hour recording that garnered tens of millions of views across YouTube and other online platforms.

    Looking back, more Pennsylvania voters say things were going well in the country when Trump was president and those who feel that way are backing him in big numbers. Trump maintains his advantage on who would make people better off financially and leads Harris big among those who cite the U.S.-Mexico border as a major factor in their vote.
