Food for thoughtful contemplation yall πΊπΈππ€β€οΈ
While we are all talking about numbers today, here are ours from last night's livestream. Just over 5 hours, whew! We had a ton of fun and I just want to thank everyone who was a part of the stream. Very humbled and grateful!
474 average is very nice! It was a very fun stream.
It was great! Thanks to you and Faith for making it happen!
1 minute!

@FaithJoy Looks like the AZ secretary of states page updated to 100% reporting. Send this over to Rob. https://results.arizona.vote/#/featured/18/0
dang anyone seeing how there seems so be spam russian bots in the show chat. keeping the Mods on their toes
Does the total amount of votes add up from the state site vs media totals?
So
So yeah, I don't watch tv and don't follow conspiracy theories at all.
Glenn Greenwald. Solid lefty who broke the Snowden story. Founded (with two others) hard lefty news outlet The Intercept. Left because the editors at his own outlet censored him. I'm keen to see what he gets up to now.
I don't watch TV, but I have family that do follow conspiracy theories and that's the only reason why I know any of them
I don't even have TV lol
Lol me neither. I have one but it's not even plugged in for years.
Same @Ford
Oh I see. Didn't realize this was from the election chat
Woops sorry....
We moved because we screened off topic.
Fair fair
Sorry just setting my daughter up to dig her dirt-pit in an appropriate spot the garden lol
I feel like there is some secret libertarian lair chat in which people are frolicking and I'm not welcome. Lol
Iβm sorry my catching up offended you. Sincerely the librarian π€
?
No one here gets offended who didn't come in offended. Lol
Libertarian ftw

Well, you're in the right place for them. I find their ideas refreshing, albeit simple, from my uninitiated perspective. It's interesting.
@RobertGrulerEsq Do you think background checks for voter registration would pass strict scrutiny?
@WatchingYouDaily No. Strict scrutiny is a very strict standard. That would be way too overbroad. You can be convicted of a misdemeanor and still retain your voting rights and there are already mechanisms in place to disqualify felons, etc.
Interesting question though. Taking it one step further, the next question would be - what about for poll watchers or election center workers? I think there is a much better argument there because it is narrowly tailored.

@RobertGrulerEsq That would work require a background investigation into pool watchers or election center workers. However if background investigations to possess a firearm or get a CPL have passed strict scrutiny one would think it can apply to voter registration. The mechanisms for felons varies from state to state there is no consistency.
Id someone takes my votes away because some poll watcher doesn't pass muster, we're going to have a problem.
On the flip side if you have a former felon convicted of fraud / crime of dishonesty counting ballots that might make people uneasy.
Absolutely. Lock them up for that. Also, demonstrate that the are both a felon *and* have committed some kind of vote counting malfeasance and lock them up for that too.
Interesting article in interfax: *"The split of the United States following the presidential elections can lead to the loss of a single political center, which will sharply raise the question of the controllability of the American system. Who will obey the military of the huge American army, if there is no commander-in-chief, or there will be two or three of them at once? [...]" - said Shchipkov on the air of the TV channel "Spas"."*

the russians are either concerned, or are playing concerned.
