But did you check your polls???

That's a good picture. Hillary would never draw a crowd like that.

I wish Alabama had early voting, but we don't. And I just learned that absentee ballots apparently don't even get counted unless they're "needed".... What the heck???

Guess I'll just stand in the long lines come November 8th, because I WILL be voting for President Trump!!!

I'm a bit curious now. How does that actually work?

Under what circumstances might the absentee ballots be deemed needed vs not-needed?

I suppose if the election is too close to call, then they use the absentee ballots? Didn't make any sense to me either; just what I found out yesterday through my wife's work. She is an executive assistant at Northrop Grumman and was making arrangements for several executives who were going to be on travel November 8th. That is when this info surfaced...

A situation where one candidates margin of victory exceeded the total number of absentee ballots recieved is the only scenario I can think of where they wouldn't count the ballots.

I don't know the answer.... I've searched the state websites regarding this issue and can't find any info one way or the other. Certainly nothing is said about them NOT being counted, so I'm thinking the story my wife received may have been bogus, and I'm about to pass that along to her ASAP!

An Establishment in Panic
By Patrick J. Buchanan

Pressed by moderator Chris Wallace as to whether he would accept defeat should Hillary Clinton win the election, Donald Trump replied, “I will tell you at the time. I’ll keep you in suspense.”

“That’s horrifying,” said Clinton, setting off a chain reaction on the post-debate panels with talking heads falling all over one another in purple-faced anger, outrage and disbelief.

“Disqualifying!” was the cry on Clinton cable.

“Trump Won’t Say If He Will Accept Election Results,” wailed The New York Times. “Trump Won’t Vow to Honor Results,” ran the banner in The Washington Post.

But what do these chattering classes and establishment bulletin boards think the Donald is going to do if he falls short of 270 electoral votes?

Lead a Coxey’s Army on Washington and burn it down as British General Robert Ross did in August 1814, while “Little Jemmy” Madison fled on horseback out the Brookeville Road?

What explains the hysteria of the establishment?

In a word, fear.

The establishment is horrified at the Donald’s defiance because, deep within its soul, it fears that the people for whom Trump speaks no longer accept its political legitimacy or moral authority.

It may rule and run the country, and may rig the system through mass immigration and a mammoth welfare state so that Middle America is never again able to elect one of its own. But that establishment, disconnected from the people it rules, senses, rightly, that it is unloved and even detested.

Having fixed the future, the establishment finds half of the country looking upon it with the same sullen contempt that our Founding Fathers came to look upon the overlords Parliament sent to rule them.
Establishment panic is traceable to another fear: Its ideology, its political religion, is seen by growing millions as a golden calf, a 20th-century god that has failed.

Trump is “talking down our democracy,” said a shocked Clinton.

After having expunged Christianity from our public life and public square, our establishment installed “democracy” as the new deity, at whose altars we should all worship. And so our schools began to teach.

Half a millennia ago, missionaries and explorers set sail from Spain, England and France to bring Christianity to the New World.

Today, Clintons, Obamas and Bushes send soldiers and secularist tutors to “establish democracy” among the “lesser breeds without the Law.”

Unfortunately, the natives, once democratized, return to their roots and vote for Hezbollah, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, using democratic processes and procedures to re-establish their true God.

And Allah is no democrat.

By suggesting he might not accept the results of a “rigged election” Trump is committing an unpardonable sin. But this new cult, this devotion to a new holy trinity of diversity, democracy and equality, is of recent vintage and has shallow roots.

For none of the three — diversity, equality, democracy — is to be found in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Federalist Papers or the Pledge of Allegiance. In the pledge, we are a republic.

When Ben Franklin, emerging from the Philadelphia convention, was asked by a woman what kind of government they had created, he answered, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

Among many in the silent majority, Clintonian democracy is not an improvement upon the old republic; it is the corruption of it.

Consider: Six months ago, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, the Clinton bundler, announced that by executive action he would convert 200,000 convicted felons into eligible voters by November.

If that is democracy, many will say, to hell with it.

And if felons decide the electoral votes of Virginia, and Virginia decides who is our next U.S. president, are we obligated to honor that election?

In 1824, Gen. Andrew Jackson ran first in popular and electoral votes. But, short of a majority, the matter went to the House.

There, Speaker Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams delivered the presidency to Adams — and Adams made Clay secretary of state, putting him on the path to the presidency that had been taken by Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Adams himself.

Were Jackson’s people wrong to regard as a “corrupt bargain” the deal that robbed the general of the presidency?

The establishment also recoiled in horror from Milwaukee Sheriff Dave Clarke’s declaration that it is now “torches and pitchforks time.”

Yet, some of us recall another time, when Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas wrote in “Points of Rebellion”:

“We must realize that today’s Establishment is the new George III. Whether it will continue to adhere to his tactics, we do not know. If it does, the redress, honored in tradition, is also revolution.”

Baby-boomer radicals loved it, raising their fists in defiance of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew.

But now that it is the populist-nationalist right that is moving beyond the niceties of liberal democracy to save the America that they love, elitist enthusiasm for “revolution” seems more constrained.

What goes around comes around.

Imagine that. Polls are no kind of indicator. Whoda thunk it? It's almost as if those of us who keep quoting polls are spreading leftist propaganda.

[Captain Obvious impression] If you oversample a single group, you're going to get skewed poll results.

Rush Limbaugh has covered this polling nonsense for the past 2 days on his radio show.

In 1980, 4 days before the election, ABC showed Carter leading by +7. NBC had Carter leading by +6. CBS by +9. They all were writing Reagan off and had turned their coverage to what Carter would do in a 2nd term. The polling sources unaffiliated with the media were closer to Carter +2.

The results? Reagan won by +14. All of the TV networks called the race by 8:30 pm ET. The networks explained the discrepancy at the time as the difficulty in trying to conduct serious polling with a "unique figure" like Reagan. It made the data they were collecting flawed (so they said.)

Sound familiar? The same liberal media that was trying to suppress turnout for Reagan 36 years ago is now trying to do the same against Trump. The bogus polls from ABC and NBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, and other agenda-driven sources, are all showing Clinton at +5 to +11. The independent polling sources are at Trump +2 to Clinton +2.

What will happen on November 8th? I suspect the networks will be able to call this election again by 8:30 pm ET. Trump is another "unique figure" in American political history.

I voted absentee for years when I was in the Air Force. It was my understanding that if the margin was such that the absentees wouldnt tip the election results, they were not counted. Say Bush carried Ohio in 2000 by 30,000 votes, but there were only 20,000 absentee ballots cast. It wouldnt make a difference even if every absentee was for gore...

So my vote wasnt counted in 2000. Really cheeses me off, too, with all the libs crying about gore winning the popular vote. My argument was that we would never know who got the most overall votes because many thousands of absentee ballots were not counted. And absentee votes traditionally run 75% Republican (hence the gore campaign trying to discard as many as they could to swing Broward County in their favor...).
