You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Oh for Christ's sake, there goes Pennsylvania.

LOL. Very few people (relatively) take public transit to vote, and there is a good chance this gets settled before the election anyway.

[Ebsy]

There's very little chance of this impacting anything.

This forum is starting to depress the hell out of me.  Hillary's still the overwhelming favorite, but people here are acting like she's down by 5 points.

Yeah, the forum has been unreadable for some time. You should come over to AAD for more level headed discussion.

Get ready for the early results when the polls close that shows Trump ahead in VA 62% to Clinton's 38%. The bed wetting will turn into bed flooding!

What is AAD exactly? I've seen it mentioned often but have no idea what it is.

Shaking in our boots.

[Flake]

As a Philly canvasser for our beautiful nominee; most polling places in my experience have been only a few feet from these people's houses (south Philly). I do see a problem if someone's coming home from work and is trying to go and vote but has no reliable transportation to get to their home/voting location.

[President Johnson]

Trump isn't winning Pennsylvania.

[Torie]

If you drew maps of PA CD's, you would know that the precincts in Philly are microscopic. It is as if almost every block is a precinct, and many don't have that many voters. So walking to vote will not be a hardship.

[Classic Conservative]

The only group that might have lower turnout because of this, is the elderly and morbidly obese. That's about it. Because, most people can walk.

PA was going to vote for Trump anyway. Hillary never cracks 50% here.

[CellarDoor]

I read an article that seemed to indicate that the union would suspend the strike on election day if they felt progress was being made in negotiations.  I doubt this will be an issue.

[Speed of Sound]

As I mentioned in the early vote thread, anyone who thinks that the Democratic bigwigs and the union bigwigs in PA won't strike a deal to protect the election outcome knows nothing about PA politics.

You stopped pretending to be a democrat!

I have changed avatars on here dozens of times, which is only slightly more than the average. People should stop pretending otherwise, it's rare for anyone who's been on here years to never change theirs. Anyway, I was bowing to pressure this time.

PA will still go for HRC. Place like Michigan, Wisconsin, Minn, CO & NV are much more likely to flip to R this year than PA but that's just my opinion.

I've heard similar, heard yesterday the strike would not be in place on election day

^ AAD called the primaries correctly when people here were still talking about Lyin' Ted Cruz or Lil Marco Rubio making a dramatic comeback and will call the general election correctly too with a resounding victory for OBN.

Trump has led exactly once the entirety of 2016, and yet he'll win because the candidate with a higher hasn't gotten 50%? Care to explain this twisted logic?

Colorado may trend that way, as well as Nevada (though it's equally likely Dems are being under-sampled.) Zero chance MI/WI/MN flip--Clinton is farther ahead in all three than PA and the only way PA flips is if there's a large turnout reduction.

Some of the bigger Democrat hacks who used to post here formed their own message board. It's basically just them insulting each other and repeating over and over again that Democrats will always win because they are Democrats. And there was one thread that was just posters typing Trump over and over again. And they do this behind a wall. And if you aren't a Democrat your account will sometimes spontaneously delete itself under mysterious circumstances, like what happened to me.
