CHAOS DUNK!

 

from about a month ago but still funny imo

I had looked at my sample ballot maybe 3-4 times, but today I voted and out of nowhere there was a ballot measure from Oak Park proposing updating the language of the 2nd amendment (the federal constitution's 2nd amendment) to allow congress to regulate the use of firearms.

 

It was very bizarre. One, I have NO idea what power that even holds, like...what does that do next?

 

But obviously I voted for it since I am soxtalk's only poster in favor of changing the 2nd amendment (and perhaps I hallucinated the question?).

Curious to know how illinois voters here voted on the road fund amendments and consolidation proposal for cook county.

I forgot to vote for that amendment and realized it the instant I sealed the envelop. I don't know how I would have voted (was leaving that to the end to finish looking into it) but was leaning towards being in favor of it. If it loses by one vote, blame me.

still trying to figure out this abyss he's apparently in

I voted against it. I understand reasoning behind it, but to me the strict rules on things like that always come back and bite you. Imagine a huge flood where lawmakers couldn't move funds out of the road funds to relief funds.

It's a non issue. Hillary is getting rid of the second amendment. Trump said so. He doesn't lie. Straight shooter.

Yeah that's why I didn't just mark "yes" right away, but god damn are Illinois' roads abysmal. Worse than literally every other state I've been to, and I've been to most of them at this point.

This is true. I wish I hadn't spent time on it now.

My polling spot opened at 6 AM, I got there at about 6:15, and I was out just after 7. Not too bad.

 

I voted NO on the roads amendment because I read that it was lobbied onto the ballot and promoted by construction companies, and that it would hamstring the Illinois budget even further. Don't think that's what we need right now.

 

Not a discussion for the Presidential Election thread though, so I digress.

I'm not sure why though, it seems like our crews take too much time, repair the wrong areas and do it poorly. I dont think its funding as much as its overall politics on who is doing the work and when.

Well you can blame me for that

eh I assume we're all just going to treat this as the main election day thread anyway, no reason to create even more threads for house/senate/local stuff

 

speaking of, here's a pretty good summary of what House races to watch tonight. Republicans are almost definitely going to hold the House, but Democrats could definitely cut into their margins.

Mine opened at 6. Got there 5 minutes before it opened and I was about 50th in line. There are 2 wards that vote at my location, and they split it into 2 lines once you get in the church. Probably 45 of the 50 people in front of me lived in the other ward, which is separated by whether you are north or south of a street, so I voted by 6;10, but there was an issue with the machine you put your ballots in. It wasn't registering the votes. So I had to wait another 15 minutes for them to fix it. Still not too bad.

I, too, voted against it.

More good 'ol Trump supporters with offensive comments to get off their chests...

Interested to know how long it took California voters to vote here.

well, for certain there is so much vote rigging going on right now. Seems like everyone is seeing it and Limbaugh is talking about it. Give it to the Clintons now and forever the end

My story is uneventful. Got to my polling place at 5:55 and hung out with the white haired's. There was a black guy in front of us and the guy behind me said "oh great, the blacks are voting". Jesus, people, this is Glen Ellyn!

 

Anyway, uneventful beyond the fact that the people handing out the voter cards don't know what order letters are in the alphabet. I was out of there by 6:15.

Before this campaign, I never liked Trump. I thought he was pompous obviously. I just never realized was a despicable human being he is.

 

I just hope he gets trounced today.

Steve you don't know what type of economic anxiety the man was experiencing.

Rush and his kind already had their scripts for today's show written months ago.
