While I am against states taking away voting days or making times shorter, I think states have every right to require IDs regardless of the impact on this or that group if the IDs are made accessible and relatively cheap. I honestly don't know how anyone gets through life nowadays with no form of identification. Minorities have every opportunity to get an ID as whites. People say voter fraud is not a problem, but how is that even verified when IDs aren't required? I'm pretty sure most other countries have ID laws for good reason.

What's funny is that a theory is something that is tested and coo-berated. Evolution is not a hypothesis, which is what people make it out to be.

How men like this become successful politicians is beyond me

I hate the fact that this is actually an issue. How do people make it through life without a government issued ID? What if they have to go to the bank to cash a check? How do they buy alcohol, cigarettes, or anything where an ID may be requested? I'm not judging them, but it really puzzles me.

Or maybe he has dementia?

This man is absolute trash. The fact that he can hold any type of public office is really sad.

Literally everyone knew that the Iranians were getting that money a year ago.

Trump would have been shut down in a quick minute had he mentioned it. His team is smart and actually checks facts unlike his followers

He tweeted about, but you're right that there was a good explanation.

No College degree, white "patriots" and old people who are still pressed because King Obama… Yes pretty much Trump's supporters

Screaming at him not knowing the difference between the common definition of theory and the scientific definition of theory

So glad he's not our governor after this year, but I doubt Holcomb will be any better. Gregg better win!

I think Bayh should win, but I feel like too many people will vote straight ticket which should never be allowed imo. It really doesn't take much more time to actually physically vote for the candidates you want. I feel like it helps Republicans more than Democrats tbh.

Mike Pence saying evolution is linear. And using just one study to undermine everything about it.

By all means, I'm fine with people believing what they want but they can just learn about creationism in church. It doesn't need to be taught in school. Or at least save the creationism for philosophy class not biology.

I swear that this map has more blue and lighter shades of red every time I look at it.


If Hillary keeps all of these states and takes SC, she will be the first person since Reagan '84 to take the entire east coast and the entire west coast.

Reagan's opponent only won Minnesota and DC out of the entire country.


AZ going blue for both Clintons, the ultimate power couple.

This election season will go down in history for so many reasons. First female candidate, Trump's involvement, Bernie pushing the Dems further left, potential landslide victory, potential longlasting ramifications for the GOP...

I find it strange that some people say that Hillary is one of the "most unfavorable candidates of all time" while other people say that Hillary is the "most qualified candidate of all time."

That actually goes along with this great article that I read earlier. The writer points out that throughout this campaign, and throughout her career, Hillary has proven to be one of the most truthful politicians in government, despite her reputation for being dishonest / a liar / crooked (which apparently originated with some conservative outlet in the 90s). The article also talks about the ridiculousness of her "scandals," and makes the very interesting point that the American people really love Hillary—unless she's running a campaign or otherwise challenging traditional gender norms.

If Trump drops out, his rabid supporters will stop caring about the election and won't vote for the new republican candidate. The GOP knows not to underestimate Trump's fanbase size.

Weird question, since Chelsea Clinton lost her secret service back in 2010, will she get SS if Hillary becomes president?

Insiders say Hillary is about to put money, staff, and add campaign rallies in Georgia, Missouri, Arizona, and Indiana. Get ready.

Voting ID laws ARE an issue. It's easy to say everyone should have an ID, but it's not that simple. Some places require IDs, birth certificates, etc. Elderly people usually don't have that. Poor people don't have licenses because most don't drive. Voter fraud is a stupid argument because there is no evidence that people go and vote for someone that isn't them.

NC is just one place. There are issues about suppressing blacks and Latinos. Or not letting felons who are let out to vote. It's a wide range of issues that helps Republicans, white men. College IDs are not accepted, and a lot of millennials, most don't drive, don't have the proper ID.

It's unnecessary also because to vote in multiple poll places, you have to have multiple permanent living residents. And not many people do. Say your name and your address and you vote. Your name is then taken off the list so it's very hard for someone to come after you and use your name.

Hillary should focus on the elderly more. So many votes, and you only need to pledge to raise pensions for them

I think the Republican party will not recovwr quickly from this election.. it's basically three parties. We've got:
- BUILD-A-WALL: focus on xenophobia
- religious right: most do not agree with blatant racism, yet they are very rightist
- socially somewhat liberal, fiscally conservative

The religious right and socially liberal can cooperate in one party quite well, but the anti-immigration part and all other parts are very different.
We will very likely see each part represented in republican primaries. The anti-immigration part will still win. Republican party is doomed, because anti-immigration can never win in a country with such a big non-white/migrant population and such a big anti-racist white population.

So basically a three-party system is required. Perhaps a far-right (Trump/Ted), centrist (McCain, Bush, perhaps Clinton) and leftist (Sanders, Greens, perhaps Clinton) is required for all divisions in US society to be represented. Maybe I'll be proven wrong in four years though.


Also, I'm scared too high poll numbers (secured win) could make less Clinton-supporters to actually vote. This could hurt her somewhat. In European countries the people who vote for Trump-look-a-likes are generally less inclined to vote however. Usually their poll numbers are higher, as more of them (low-income, no college, don't care that much about democracy) tend to stay home. Maybe the same happens to Trump.

Exciting elections either way. You know Russian media is constantly reporting on Trump in a positive manner? I want to see how they report on when Clinton wins in a LANDSLIDE. I want Clinton to have over 70% of delegates.

Also, perhaps Clinton could try Alaska? I expect many of them feel somewhat misrepresented. The Greens have been very popular there in the past. Perhaps Clinton could visit Alaska and secure all states with a coast

America has been a two-party system for over two centuries for a reason.

I don't believe in this "high poll numbers show overconfidence". No Hillary supporter is staying home because 1) voting for her is historic 2) we never trusted polls 3) the satisfaction in saying they were the ones to stop Trump.

And she's not winning Alaska.

This election process is too long, can we vote already and have Hillary be our President?

Mess at OH and FL getting darker blue. AZ and GA going light blue. SC going light red.

What a disaster Trump is.
