I just voted and turnout seemed heavier then in the past. Could not get a feel for the breakdown. But let's say we were to have a 65% turnout and the winner receives 55% of the vote. Optimistic maybe, does that say mandate, by the 35.75 of the registered voters!

I think not. Just some will be saying mandate no matter what the breakdown ends up being.

We know you idiots cheat. It gets more obvious every election cycle. Saw some interesting footage from Broward Co. Florida yesterday, when they tried to shut down a polling place early with hundreds of people outside. They had to open back up---almost got ugly.

I felt a surge of pride watching those folks demand their right to vote. Good for them!

Here in Ohio we're more advanced. I vote once, it gets counted 5 times!
