    How does she still have a job?  It would be funny if her incompetence cost Nelson the election.

    When Brenda Snipes took over the Broward Supervisor of Elections office in 2003, she was the figure with years of administrative experience who would steady an office that was reeling from what Gov. Jeb Bush called “incompetence” and “misfeasance.”

    On Friday, following a court agreeing with a lawsuit brought by Gov. Rick Scott that Snipes had violated public records laws, she found herself the target of similar calls for her removal from office, and for the same reasons.

    For 15 years, Snipes has served as Broward County’s elections chief, with mixed results. Long lines and vote counts that continued long after polls closed marred elections in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2012, 2016 and, of course, this year.

    Among other issues:

    -- A court ruled she had broken election law when she destroyed ballots from the 2016 election 12 months after it, instead of the 22 months required by federal law.

    -- A medical marijuana amendment was left off some ballots in 2016.

    -- Election results in the 2016 primary were posted on the elections office’s website before polls closed, another violation of election law.

    -- In 2012, almost 1,000 uncounted ballots were discovered a week after the election

    -- In 2004, some 58,000 mail-in ballots were not delivered to voters, leaving election officials to scramble to send new ones.

    CNN losing credibility as each day passes... Its pure propaganda at this point

    CNN should never allow his ass to go back in.  Put him behind a desk in front of the camera, and make him the pundit he is.  

     

    And the White House idiots shouldn't have reduced this to a single issue of "he touched a girl!"  Given his history of disruptive, unprofessional behavior, they should have simply said "We're revoking his access, as he continually exhibits behavior that is disruptive and disrespectful to the rest of the White House press pool.  We encourage CNN to assign as their representative an adult who will respect the rights of others in the press pool."

    I agree and that would've been the better statement instead of claiming assault.  People are now rolling their eyes with the assault claim.

    Every single one of those races with the exception of NE 02 and PA 01 (don't know what to make out of that race because of redistricting in PA), the margin of victory was smaller for the incumbent party compared to 2016 so I don't quite know how to interpret that list.

     

    Are those the only progressives that ran?

    Pathetic shills dont worry bout duration.

     

    you...YOU are all wrong. The homer shills with their locktite hypothetical opinions carry the day! And when josh allen washes out of the league as a poor man’s joe flacco they will, hopefully!, crawl back to their respective holes.

    Can a poor man's Joe Flacco win a Superbowl like he did?  I'll take that any day of the week.  I think Josh Allen will be another Kyle Boller or Blaine Gabbert.

    Is this a conspiracy too? Jesus, don't you get exhausted seeing a spectre around every corner? 

    It's a little amusing as about 5% of it comes to fruition, but that 5% makes it worth reading.  The "false flag" mail bomber comes to mind.

    You make Hannity seem honest.

     

     

    And he's #1 in cable news.  The media is doing more to divide this country than any president could ever dream of.

    I didn't really see a question there from Jim, and he got OWNED. That's not a game you want to play with Trump.

     

    I'm not someone who despises CNN, but this guy is dead weight. 

     

    Between this and his emotional plea to Sanders for "civility," I wish they'd cut him loose. At least Alexander asked him a question and didn't look like a fool.

    Acosta might be a bigger narcissist than Trump.

    Atlanta @ Washington    who'd have think it?  (not me obviously)

    I wanted the Saints  to win but I picked the Rams.  

    Seattle @ home  ....  they drew me away from they are poorer this season

     

    McManus cost me the Denver game.  Atlanta was sick of being told they can't win on the road.  Chargers are an underrated team.  I thought Dallas would rise to the occasion at home on Monday night.  Props to all the faithful out there that took the Bills with Peterman starting.

    I have aborted on posting here for awhile. I'm watching Don Lemon right now claim that the 27th district is gerrymandered, lol. That ass didn't say ***** about the 25th for years. In my opinion I think the districts look the best in my lifetime in terms of boundaries. I voted Maxwell and he lost. He would have never had a chance against Louise in that ***** before 2013. Atleast it accurately reflects monroe county.

     

    The Republicans are getting killed by a reaction to trump. The president's party usually loses seats in the midterms. Obama was crushed in 2010.

     

     I saw my polling station and I thought, this looks way too busy and didn't like Maxwell's chances. Traditionally, when voter turn out is high, the Democrats do better. 

     

    Trump managed to piss off enough people to motivate the democratic base and offend the independents who voted for him in my opinion. 2020 will be interesting.

    I have to agree that Trump's crassness and over the top rhetoric cost Republicans the House (but helped the Republicans in the Senate).  I say that because historically when the economy is this good the president' party's house losses are at a minimum or they even win some during the midterms.  Dems won House seats in the '98 midterms and Republicans won in the '02 midterms during Bush Jr's first term.  Meanwhile, we were at the height of the recession during the 2010 midterms.  It also looks like the three Senate and Governor seats in the "blue wall" that Trump broke in 2016 all went to the Democrats.

     

    However, it looks like five incumbents Democratic Senators that went for Trump (I'm assuming Arizona and Montana Republican Senator challengers will win) went down tonight as Trump's extremely popular in those states.  He knows this and that's why he held rallies there.  It's going to be an interesting two years.
