Yep, and Herring and Fairfax will be severely hamstrung if they have a Republican governor and legislature. So go out and just do it, and then pressure him to pull a TMac and be super good! Ventana posted:What time will the polls close/results start to come in? 7 and 8ish respectively. Could be 11 or 12 before we're all done.

There's something about John Adams that just screams pedantic Republican nerd to me, like the type of guy that was in debate club in high school and took it way too seriously.

I voted just before 10 in Western Fairfax county. There were like 3 voters at the time so the old volunteers were talking about the guns they own but couldn't bring with them today  . Couldn't get out of there any faster.

Honestly was probably one of the most important classes I took in school along with advanced econometrics and number theory. Oh and I had another class with the same professor my freshman year where we did Marxian analysis of the oil market.

Including statehood for Washington DC and Puerto Rico. Any Democratic governor who doesn't do this should be primaried. Without it, no other agenda issues will get done.

Dem candidates in 2018 need to run on 3 things: -Expand Medicaid -Make Voting Easy (restore felon rights, same day registration, early voting, etc) -Ban Gerrymandering

Voted around 7am in the city of Fredericksburg this morning. There was no line at all, I walked right up to the check in and straight to fill out my ballot and scan it. I think I was in and out within 5 minutes. It looked like there was more people coming as I was leaving as the parking lot was starting to fill up. The VRE commuter train is also modifying their train consists tonight in anticipation of more people leaving work earlier to get back to Fredericksburg before the polls close. Ended up voting straight Dem in the state-level elections. Our local elections are all non-partisan.

Decent line in Cville just now. It had just started raining when I got there so people were all bunched up inside, else the line may have been out the door. Quick in and out otherwise. Fingers crossed.

Ugh. Yes. It's really interesting stuff but so, so tedious to read. We also had to read Hayek in the same class which was also interesting but for different reasons.
