I tried getting an absentee a week beforehand but it was an impossible task for those who have to work during the day.

some rumblings have started on the possibility of voter fraud or error on Bevin's KY governor seat win as all the lower ticket spots were won by the democrats in many areas whereas the governor did not, the split ticket voting is highly usual and coupled with the poll results prior to the election showing a 3-5pt lead over Bevin then turned into a 9% loss

I won't rush to judgment on this but I do think it merits some investigation

it's pretty crazy Ben Carson is doing so well, eh? even weirder and sadder than Trump.

Ben Carson lied about part of his life story. I'm stunned.

I'm sure that everything else the man has ever written in his books is totally accurate though.

Costanza's Credo doesn't apply?

As a voter, the thing with Carson that's concerning is not so much that these are "lies", but examples of delusions he has, and on which he bases decisions. I mean, he's not trying to con anyone with this stuff.

This is how he actually conceives of his life and place in the universe. He is totally. fucking. nuts. I wouldn't let him near me nor any loved one with a toy balloon, let alone a scalpel.
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

Isn't Carson the guy who said that guys who go to prison go in straight and they come out gay? And he said it with a straight face.

Yes, but in his defense, his face had not been to prison.

There are no scholarships to West Point. All cadets pay no tuition, no book fees, free housing, free food.

They also get paid. I think they don't get the actual dough until they graduate. Back in my time, the new West Point Lieutenants would buy them a new Corvette.

Getting in to West Point is a long process with a lot of steps. It is considered one of the most difficult schools to get in to.
Teams lie, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad. They do it to get an advantage while they look at the trade market or just because they can

Sadly, most Republican voters think it's a good thing when someone is delusional enough to think they have a direct link to god.

Carson news conference on his delusions is - magical. This guy is cuh-raazz-eeeee. He somehow imagines there are enough sane people who vote who will not be sufficiently...dismayed... by his lunacy to not ever, ever consider casting a vote for him for dogcatcher, let alone POTUS.

Split ticket voting isn't as unusual as people think it is. Happens often when weighing local results vs state wide election results.
