How is it that an old school ScanTron machine can read pencil marks with near 100% accuracy for millions of grade school students and we can't get a voting machine to work right?
It's a good question why we can't get things perfect. But the problem in Mesa was simply a printer that was running out of ink. Mesa is the largest suburb of Phoenix, and by population, the third largest city in Arizona behind Phoenix and Tucson respectively. Silly not to check the ink and the stop printing when things started to fade. But these things happen. As for the other problems, the R Maricopa County Recorder put out this Tweet.
Dems had much larger margins in 1994 and 2010 going in, so they had more to seats to lose. Now somebody remind Psaki she’s using Elon’s app.
Very will get the importance of your post (rural counties are flooding the Democrats), but John Ralston (the best pollster/predictor of Nevada) had predicted a Dem Senate hold (despite his data, he went with his gut), and he just tweeted out that he is searching for the delete key in regards to his prediction. Looks like the Culinary Union coming home we were promised by a certain poster whom will be on a self imposed sabbatical died with Harry Reid.
I still find it amazing Dems are not going to flip a single seat in the Senate tonight. What a bunch of Twitter users.
Based on reported turnout so far, unless all the Dems are voting very late in the day or a huge proportion of Republicans are voting party-line blue, Florida may well be a bloodbath up and down the ballot across all but the couple of bluest of blue counties.
I think the only reassuring info for Dems today would have been that all the R candidates spontaneously combusted last night.
