justin trudeau's reaction to bring ask about Trump's actions was something

4 or 5 incumbent state house Dems just in Philly are going to lose their primaries. Pretty wild.

Edit: no mail ins have been counted though so who knows which is like 140k votes

So Barr is developing his own quasi military police force? That seems illegal. Needs to be confirmed, obviously.

There's a number of law enforcement agencies within the DOJ.

"D.C. had no problems last night,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Great job done by all. Overwhelming force. Domination.” Which, of course, required the president congratulated himself closing with “Thank you President Trump!”

I live in the Saval/Farnese district and Saval's signs/flyers were absolutely everywhere. Did not receive one piece of Farnese material...not sure he actually even cared about this election.

That picture is useful for a caption contest... I am not sure it is blasphemy as I am not using it as a curse but it certainly qualifies as a double entendre, but mine would be: "Jesus, what did I do to end up here?"

I know it's just a primary, and obviously it will be a different electorate come November, but is there any concern that Trump/Republicans received many more votes in PA last night than Biden/Democrats with same percentage of precincts reporting? I know there are a lot of mail-in votes that may not be figured in this total...

Please relax me and tell me these numbers mean nothing and Biden can/will win PA in November...

. Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

In 3 1/2 years, I’ve done much more for our Black population than Joe Biden has done in 43 years. Actually, he set them back big time with his Crime Bill, which he doesn’t even remember. I’ve done more for Black Americans, in fact, than any President in U.S. history, with...

....the possible exception of another Republican President, the late, great, Abraham Lincoln...and it’s not even close. The Democrats know this, and so does the Fake News, but they refuse to write or say it because they are inherently corrupt! See “pinned” above

He's delusional for thinking he's anything close to Abraham Lincoln.

Dems got about 91% of the votes Rs did and there are still mail ins to come. Philly itself had a huge mail in-campaign. Not particularly worried. About 1.6 million votes counted so far and 6 million voted in 2016. Doesn't mean anything imo.

by **thephan** » Wed Jun 03, 2020 09:31:45

that sounds vaguely familiar... he's really on this Lincoln thing.

I think he did but did not consider Saval an actual threat until way too late. Heard he had no one at the polls, where Saval had someone at every location. Farnese could very well just be wanting to be done too and take some higher paying, less demanding job. It is not easy being an elected official.

It is exciting though. Saval is incredibly smart and progressive. The caucus has injected a few progressives last cycle. One or two may eventually wind up in leadership roles down the line. I am excited to see how it plays out.

It is all mail ins. Basically none have been counted across the state. Those ballots will outweigh Rs 6 to 1 I am guessing.

so even if they say 'vote recorded' it isn't so?

Just means they got it. They were not allowed to start scanning mail-ins before 7 am yesterday (and that was even a change, initially it was supposed to be when polls closed). They have to sort, open both envelopes, take the ballot out, pile them up, then scan them all. It is a massive undertaking. Where before that was all done, in essence, at each poll location.

by **Bucky** » Wed Jun 03, 2020 10:03:49

they had to be removed from the envelopes when received or else they wouldn't have the data to update the website...

not every incumbent is bad
