David Bossie was being interviewed on MSNBC. He was asked about performance among Hispanics, and he said Trump's getting 30-40%, citing the LAT poll.

Hamilton County includes Cincinnati, and strong turnout there is a good sign for Clinton.

That's a big turnout there. Only 9,000 voters in all left to cast ballots today. GOP won early/mail, 45-35.

Guys, Trump is going to win in Carson City and the rest of the rurals. They are about 12-15 percent of the vote.


Also, Mark Kirk voted for David Petraeus for President.

Does anyone else find it ironic that he voted for someone who pled guilty to mishandling classified information?

Not necessarily.  This happened during early voting with one machine in Bryan County, Georgia (in the other direction).  The machine was removed from service and it was determined that the calibration was off on its touch screen, so it was registering a touch at a slightly offset location.

Is that legal? Why aren't police officers in polling stations to prevent this? In my country if you harass or stop someone from voting in a polling station, you go to jail.

In Denmark we have an average of 85% voter turnout for parliamentary elections and I have never stood in line more than 5 minutes max.

Do these kinds of incidents happen every 4 years, or is it worse this time? It's hard to tell.

[Crumpets]

I've seen videos of the supposedly "rigged" voting machines on both sides. 99% of the time, it's because it's a touch screen, and the cursor is ever so slightly off from where your finger touches it. So, rather than trying press a different part of the screen, they will simply keep pressing the middle of their candidate's box going "baaaa rigged!" as some other thing gets selected.

Electronic voting machines going down is a very common occurrence. Normally no one reports on it because who cares?

I'm talking about voter intimidation, disruption etc.

Trump rigging going on right here.

Huge line when I voted at 7am in Charleston County. No idea what it means, but I live in a pretty white precinct with younger people who are mostly college grads.

Urggh! Just get rid of those damn voting machines. Paper is more, secure and more efficient.

Why is it so hard for America to run efficient and secure elections? Every country in Europe can do it!

Seriously someone should start a Make American Voting Great Again campaign.
