Just a quick reminder that Obama won Florida in 2012 by 70K votes.


Maria Teresa Kumar claims that there's a lot of first time Latino voters in FL, especially in Orlando, who came here from Puerto Rico in recent years.

this is very true

it's from 'Truth PAC': launched Friday by Dick Brass, a former Microsoft and Oracle executive:

Speaking with The Huffington Post on Friday, Brass said his motivation for starting the super PAC was simple: “I don’t want Trump to win.”

He said he decided to focus the ads on Jewish people and Mormons to reach voters who may still be undecided.

“There are large numbers of people in both of those demographics who have suffered terrible oppression in the history of their cultures,” Brass said. “They should be concerned that a president who is willing to ban Muslims might be willing to do other terrible things, too.”

in 2010 he apparently said Microsoft sucked at innovation. seems he was right. Mother Jones couldn't findwhere the money source is for this PAC

provisional ballot

in the event of a recount or close election they become VERY important:

In case of a voter’s emergency: If you have not requested an absentee ballot but have an emergency and are unable to go to the polls, you may submit a notarized Emergency Absentee Ballot Application to the County Board of Elections between 5:00 p.m. on the Tuesday before Election Day and 5:00 p.m. on the Friday before Election Day. Given the short window between filing the application and when the ballot must be submitted, the voter may want to consider designating another person to pick up and/or drop off her or his ballot with the County Board of elections, which can be done by filling out this form and having your representative complete this form.

If the emergency occurs between 5:00 p.m. the Friday before Election Day and 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, the voter may complete and file an emergency application (or letter/other signed document that includes the same information as that provided on the emergency application) with the Court of Common Pleas in the county where he or she is registered to vote. If the voter cannot appear in court, he or she may designate in writing an individual who may obtain an Emergency Absentee Ballot from the Court of Common Pleas and then return it to the County Board of Elections no later than 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. You may want to confirm with the local election office or the court what the procedure and location are for this.

I just updated it with the emergency after 5pm Friday one, dude.



Last Minute Emergency Ballot Application Procedures: If an emergency occurs after 5:00 PM on the Friday before Election Day but before the close of polls at 8:00 PM on Election Day, then a voter may still receive an Emergency Absentee Ballot by filing the appropriate paperwork with the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. Acceptable paperwork would be an Emergency Absentee Ballot Application or a letter or other signed document that includes the same information contained on the Emergency Absentee Ballot Application.

significant other will need to attest, etc Philly Votes website

A second Washington State elector won't vote for Clinton:
One of Washington state’s Democratic presidential electors is vowing not to cast his Electoral College vote for Hillary Clinton — even if she wins the state handily on Election Day. Another elector says he is considering withholding his vote.

“No, no, no on Hillary. Absolutely not. No way,” said Robert Satiacum, a member of Washington’s Puyallup Tribe who had supported Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders as the Democratic presidential nominee.


He had earlier told various media outlets he was wrestling with whether his conscience would allow him to support Clinton and was considering stepping aside for an alternate elector. But on Friday, he sounded firm, even if the election is close.

“I hope it comes down to a swing vote and it’s me,” he said. “Good. She ain’t getting it. Maybe it’ll wake this country up.

Speaking with The Seattle Times by phone from the site of protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline, he said he did not trust Clinton on tribal or environmental issues, and expressed anger that the Obama administration has not halted the project. The Associated Press first reported his decision Friday.

Satiacum, 56, was picked as one of 12 Democratic electors at Washington’s Democratic Party convention this year in Tacoma — a gathering dominated by supporters of Sanders, who won the state’s caucuses in March.

If no presidential candidate were to reach 270 electoral votes, the election would be thrown to the U.S. House of Representatives, which would pick from the top three electoral-college vote-getters.

In a statement last month, the Puyallup Tribal Council distanced itself from Satiacum. While saying the tribe supported the “personal convictions” of Satiacum, the statement noted that as an elector he had pledged to cast his vote for the winner of the state’s popular vote.

I'm sure the House will pick Bernie. Trump will definitely say no to the Pipeline.
