The States: Where We Wish Texas Would Secede Already

[Slap Shot]

Yeah I get that "rural" tends to be rural everywhere, but if most states were essentially the same far more of them would be purple than either solid red or blue.

Having been past the paper mill in Albany, OR and through Arthur Kill (Brooklyn's garbage dump) on Staten Island, I beg to differ. Industrial chicken farms are right up there, too.

Chicken isn't so bad. Paper is. Won't disagree that it's truly foul either.

But nothing could propose me for the smell of beets permeating my clothes and skin for days after laundering and showering. They're literally digesting sugar beets in open ponds for wastewater treatment. I imagine only a human wastewater is worse.

Meanwhile, kids who are actually being abused are left to rot

Well yeah, he doesnt want his friends to get in trouble because they diddle little boys and girls or beat their families to a pulp so get CPC stretched thin on wild goose chases!

Hard disagree. I grew up with a Mead paper mill in my town, and I would spend gladly spend 100 hours at that plant to avoid 1 hour in a commercial chicken barn.

Never smelled rotting beets - thank goodness, apparently.

Mental note: If one must visit North Dakota, make sure it's during hockey season (and pack the woolies).

OK, Alaskans here. Tell me your prediction.

The Alaska Board of Elections will begin livestreaming the count at 4 p.m. Alaska time.

What is that for us, sometime in October?

From the midterms thread…

The Alaska Division of Elections is livestreaming the RCV calculations for the House Special Election tomorrow at 4pm AST.

4pm AST is 8pm EST.

Someone is going for some TV time.

Palin by probably less than 2%.

Whatever outcome, it’s inevitably going to the courts.

[Jimjamesak]

Also, all three candidates (Palin, Peltola, and Begich) were supposed to be on stage at a forum hosted by the Alaska Oil and Gas Association at the same time as the results. Sounds like they’ve shortened that forum but they should all still be there.

[Jimjamesak]

The livestream is on Facebook, though you don’t need an account to watch apparently. Just search “Alaska Division of Elections”.

If it has enough signatures, why is it not on the ballot? https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/...ot-initiative/

Because the election board is a 4 person board split between parties. It is going to the Michigan Supreme Court, which is majority democratic appointed, so it should be on the ballot.

So bascially if it is a tie it doesn't get on the ballot. Just more GOP ****ery.

[Jimjamesak]

Not totally official but it looks like Peltola has won.

First Democrat from Alaska in the House since 1972. First Alaska Native, First Woman too.

[Deutsche Gopher Fan]

Wasserman called it.

lolol

[Jimjamesak]

Quick math shows Palin only got 50% of Begich’s votes.

I told you all! Alaskans. Hate. Valley. Trash.

I’m literally crying tears of relief that Palin didn’t win. Holy ****.
