Embattled Broward elections supervisor Brenda Snipes submits resignation

The recount/ability to cure mismatched absentee signatures pulled Scott's victory margin down closer to 10k votes, which is right in range of the estimated loss from Broward's ballot design. Brenda went out a hero, as a long standing deep state GOP plant, per Monkeyboy's reading of my posts.

The final number of flipped house seats.

So the margin, above 218 is about 15.

Someone who cares about precision will find out I am sure.


Mia Love up 419, but it’s not called yet (aside fro Trump)



That was 538's number

I'm sorry you're bad at writing.

Now maybe Scott can appoint her to some other department the GOP wants to fall apart -- you know, kinda like Trump's entire list of cabinet picks.

This is the sort of stuff that makes this thread unreadable. jh merely (and clearly) pointed out the Broward County elections supervisor, a Democrat, appeared to be incompetent, as was her predecessor. She was appointed by the Governor at that time, because that's who does the appointing when they don't serve out their term. Her successor will be appointed by the Governor when her resignation takes effect. His view could be considered just an opinion, but certainly events seem to bear it out.

The Ohio House passed a pretty obviously unconstitutional bill to bar abortion after six weeks, which would effectively completely outlaw it.
Good thing we have a Supreme Court that will use discretion and precedent.
This time around, Republican lawmakers have enough members in both houses to override a veto from Kasich–and its sponsor, Republican State Representative Christina Hagan, has said that supporters of the bill were prepared for a court challenge, according to the broadcaster.

She also suggested that with President Donald Trump's newest Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh, on the Court, abortion bans such as Ohio's stand a strong chance of taking effect.


"I campaigned on behalf of President Trump and part of that reason was to ensure that we had a constitution-respecting Supreme Court when appointments became available," Hagan said, according to the broadcaster.


Oh yeah.

I was talking about very little of this. I was just explaining why I thought she was originally a republican. She was appointed by a rep and he said she ran 4 times as a dem, which makes it sound like she wasn't a dem at the beginning. Otherwise, why not just say he appointed a dem without the running 4 times as a dem part? I was just explaining why I made the mistake.

If you go back to the beginning of the exchange, he posed something sarcastic. I actually responded by agreeing with him for the most part. I then said I thought I remembered something about her originally being a republican. He just responded "No." No explanation of why I was wrong or anything, so I went and looked up his post. I thought (and still think), it was a poorly worded post. Still, I just pointed out that it was the wording of his post that confused me. Then he was sarcastic towards me in his next post without even addressing me. Instead, he just posted my name in another post. So I responded with sarcasm of my own.

JH has been much ruder to me than I have been to him over the years. And other posters have been much ruder to him than I have, especially over the last 2 years. Sometimes I swear I get blamed for other people's posts. I freely admit than I'm sometimes over the top with my assessments, but I really don't think I did much of anything in this exchange. I said a few things about the GOP, but nothing really about jh until he called me out by name.

No. All those people who voted for Trump who did so with the belief that they would finally get Roe v. Wade overturned would flip out.

I don't really understand what you're saying here, but that's only a fraction of Trump's base. And there are a ton of moderates and non voters who would flip out in a bad way for the GOP.

Oh yeah.


and they're also considering banning it altogether and making it criminal for doctors and women

http://radio.wosu.org/post/ohio-legisla ... n#stream/0

HB 565, which was introduced in March, would allow criminal charges against both doctors and pregnant women seeking abortions. It would characterize an “unborn human” as a person under Ohio’s criminal code, meaning abortions could be punishable by life in prison or even the death penalty.

There are no exceptions even in cases of rape, incest, or danger to a woman’s life.


I want to hear again from JH that punishing women for abortion is not something prolifers want

I think you have JH on the record as opposed to fiddling with settled law. I cannot imagine anyone with political sense siding otherwise, and clearly jailing pregnant women is nuts. The 'no exceptions' makes it doomed from the get go anyway. I am sure that our center right breather agree.

Why don’t they characterize those who die from lack of ability to pay for healthcare as humans first? It’s typical Conservative hypocrisy: We’ll fight for the rights of the unborn, but once you pop out of that womb you’re on your own.
