This is looking a lot like 2014, except the national environment is much better for Democrats, so I'm cautiously optimistic about this race.

But there wasn't an independent siphoning votes away from Davis in 2014. I'd be more optimistic about this race if Goofy Greg went away.

Dodge City, a majority Hispanic city with 27,000 residents, has one polling place.  It has been moved outside the city limits to a location a mile walk from the nearest bus stop.

I am sure there are legitimate reasons for this that have absolutely nothing to do with racism. /s

[DINGO Joe]

You see, racist hicks only want white people to vote or else they would be outnumbered.

Of course, Western Kansas is where the three Trump Terrorists were convicted of trying to blow up Ethiopian immigrants working in the meatpacking industry.

I voted today. Poll worker it has been reasonably busy so far, they're projecting over 1/3 of Kansans will vote early. JoCo taking steps to ensure they can report quickly in a couple weeks.

I completely think the fact that there is only one polling place is voter suppression, I haven't heard any argument that adequately defends this. I do know that the local elections office has been strongly encouraging early voting, sending out advance ballot applications to everyone with English and Spanish instructions. Also, it had to be moved from it's previous location because of construction, though I have a hard time believing they couldn't find a better location (such as a school gym).

It's going to take JoCo two weeks to report?!?! (that's a joke I hope)

If you had seen primary night, it's not so far fetched.

This needs to be illegal.

So that Orman dropping out thing was a complete hoax?

[henster]

WTH is going through mini Mark Ruffalo's mind? I could understand if he's running to get official status for a party like so many 3rd party candidates strive to do but he's running for himself. He can't win, is his ego that big for him not to see this??

Seriously, though, that is really sketchy and extremely terrible if it did come from the White House.

My question, too. Looks like this wasn't a real thing. Sad!

A top official in his campaign was telling donors that he was dropping out and to hold off on donating any more. Obviously something changed, though unsure why as I haven't seen any Ormanentum on the ground.
