NDSU and UND are in North Dakota...we have no claim to them. :D NDSU fans are horrid...

(of course UND fans like to post pictures in Black Face on Instagram...not to mention the shirts the frats wore a couple years ago that were Native Offensive as well)

Here is a fantastic map and timeline about the five years since the Arab Spring.

This one's fun too.

IDK if someone here or elsewhere posted it but basically they said that Tunisia was the one country that had good social programs in place before the uprising and as such that's why it was successful. The other countries those systems were decimated and it mostly explains why the uprisings alone weren't enough to overcome that problem.

When I was a lad (I served a term...) the NY ballot would have 15-20 parties, and many candidates were nominees of multiple parties. The Democrat was usually also the Liberal nominee, and the Republican was usually the Conservative and also the RTL nominee.

For lower slots the same candidate might be the nominee of D, R, L, and C! (The RTL would be somebody crazy in that case.)

The ballot was excellent because (1) levers or GTFO!* and (2) the party insignia was also on the line, and some of the obscure parties' sigils were really weird and/or pretty.

* Of the dozen or more voting methods I've used over the years the lever system was by far the most elegant and transparent.

I miss the levers. Now we have that electronic BS. I still don't trust their pens.

Fact or crap (meaning the comparative Romney stats):

Data obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT shows presidential underdog Donald Trump outperforming Republican 2012 election results in Florida.

Mitt Romney went into Election Day down 161,000 in absentee ballots and early voting. He ended up losing the state by 74,000.

This time, in a dramatic surprise twist, Trump is only down 32,500! And Republicans tend to outvote Democrats on Election Day in Florida.

Whoa, is that true? Source? I thought the best you got from early was about 40%.

I cant fin the article now...and I have to admit I probably read it wrong. (I know Rover posted something about it maybe yesterday) I did find this article:

A key part of the state to look at is Clark County, where over 60 percent of Nevada’s entire population of active voters lives. In that county, Democrats hold an enormous lead this year, ahead of Republicans by 52,000 votes.

The early voting numbers out of Nevada are particularly significant because Nevada is a state where the majority of voters cast their ballot before Election Day. This year, about 53 percent of the state’s population of active voters voted early. Drumpf is down 46,000 votes statewide heading into November 8th, with just 47 percent of Nevada left to participate in the election.

Sica,

Drudge is probably right, but he is also ignoring other factors to frame his argument. It is a nice spin job out of him though ;) (he has no way to know what the unaffiliated voters did so he is either ignoring them or not factoring them)

You're smarter than using Drudge Report as a source. If you Google "Florida Early Voting Numbers" you'll find that 32,000 is absolute horsesh_t.

There isn't a factual thing coming out of sites like Breitbart or Drudge. They have become Infowars.

if gingrich was "running" for secstate, would he even get 15% of the vote?

Actually, I'm seeing a huge discrepancy in the numbers being reported:
Heavy - 72,000-vote lead hillary
CNN - 7,000-vote lead H
Politico - 33,000-vote H
Click to expand...

With the amount of people who voted in Miami-Dade and Broward over the weekend (set records) CNN is way off. (their number is from Saturday evening) Politico is off as well because their number comes from Sunday morning so it doesnt take yesterday into account at all. Heavy is probably closest only cause it was updated last. (like an hour ago)

Half of Florida has already voted...
