Typical lib mindset thinking voting matters. Yall should just stay home and count your GOD GIVEN MERICAN blessings that the true RED WAVE hasn't taken your guns, God or freedom like the blue puddle wants to do to us REAL MERICANS. Today we will TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK and #LOCKHERUP. #COALGANG2040 #BUTTERYMALES

^ Can I ask how did you know your vote didn't count?

I don't trust the voting machines, and the people in line are usually Trump supporters in my area so I avoid it like the plague now. Already voted and mailed my absentee ballot a couple weeks ago which was confirmed received.

My vote didn’t count because my candidate lost

I can already hear fox news blaming the people for not waiting in line instead of talking about the machines that are broken

 

[flyeed]

Ahh yes voter suppression and extreme difficulty for low income minorities as expected

Now just waiting on the wildcard of if an “angry male” shoots up a liberal precinct

Edit: I really hate that I’m numb to the fascist systemic racism of the GOP. It’s just so expected.

Voting machines baffle me too - there is no good reason for those other than that they slow down the process and can be used to fix the result.

That’s clearly the purpose - like most things the GOP do you can’t look me in the eye and explain in less than 30 seconds what the benefit is. Because there isn’t one.

It really makes me appreciate how easy California makes it for us to vote.

 

[whywesteppin]

I voted 3 times today for Da Don of course.

As did I.

Early results are showing that Hillary is losing big in nearly every race. She has gotten zero votes for all 35 Senate seats and the same for all 435 House seats and 36 gubernatorial races.

America is saying it loud and clear: impeach Hillary! It's time for Trump to be president.

Folks really, really, really hate our mandatory voting duty system but hey it works. Many people who don't want to simply ask their employer to make them work on voting day.
But other than work and health exemptions, you're either getting your *** to a voting station or get fined.

Sometimes I forget I live in a blue state

I swear if Beto and Drew pull this off man..

So, if you lose a basketball game do your points not count and you just never play again?

Because that's the logic you're using.

I don't know why I haven't registered to vote by mail permanently. Fortunately my poll place is like three miles away.

Excerpt:
Early during his remarks at the Show Me Center in Cape Girardeau, Hannity pointed to the press holding area and said, "All those people in the back are fake news," which included journalists from Fox News covering the event.

Fox News: We do 'not condone' hosts Hannity, Pirro participating in Trump campaign events
Fox News says it "does not condone" its hosts "participating in campaign events" as Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro did during a campaign rally with President Trump in Missouri on Monday night.

A network spokesperson on Tuesday called the event "an unfortunate distraction" that "has been addressed."

“FOX News does not condone any talent participating in campaign events," read a statement to The Hill. "We have an extraordinary team of journalists helming our coverage tonight and we are extremely proud of their work. This was an unfortunate distraction and has been addressed.”

Hannity took to Twitter to also address the controversial decision to appear onstage. The host had stated in a tweet earlier on Monday that he would not do so, and wrote on Tuesday afternoon he was surprised but honored by the president's request.

"What I said in my tweet yesterday was 100% truthful," he wrote to his more than 3.8 million followers. "When the POTUS invited me on stage to give a few remarks last night, I was surprised, yet honored by the president’s request. This was NOT planned."

Hannity's earlier tweet had appeared to rule out the possibility of campaigning with the president:


Early during his remarks at the Show Me Center in Cape Girardeau, Hannity pointed to the press holding area and said, "All those people in the back are fake news," which included journalists from Fox News covering the event.

"To be clear, I was not referring to my journalist colleagues at FOX News in those remarks," Hannity wrote in a subsequent tweet. "They do amazing work day in and day out in a fair and balanced way and It is an honor to work with such great professionals."

Hannity, a staunch advocate of the president, once appeared in a campaign ad for then-candidate Trump in September 2016, which also drew a rebuke from the network.

“We were not aware of Sean Hannity participating in a promotional video and he will not be doing anything along these lines for the remainder of the election season,” a network spokesperson said in a statement to The Hill at the time.

I voted over an hour ago.

It took a few minutes because there were a few people in front of me, but that's it.

If every state made voting as easy and as efficient as California does, the GOP would never win an election again.

 

[elpablo21]

Ari's following voting issues happening today, plenty more in the thread

That’s the point
