I still say gerrymandering is the leading cause of our current government disfunction. All the "safe seats" have lead to more and more extreme partisans getting elected to the House.
Totally. I love that Obama is going to focus on redistricting next.
I was too tired to post about it afterward last night, but my visit to Griffith Observatory let me see the sunset from various vantage points, I got to see two Planetarium shows (Light of the Valkyries and Centered in the Universe, with great sound by our very own Noise Design!), and a surprise bonus was getting to look at the surface of the moon through the Zeiss telescope. Next time I'm allowing a whole day for the Observatory, there was way too much to see in a few hours.
How early do you think the networks will call it tomorrow night? Since California's electoral votes are guaranteed, could HRC get 270 by 9:00?
We have a monthly dinner with friends on the second Tuesday of the month that goes from 7 to about 9 p.m., and I warned everyone that I will be glued to my phone checking the results. It's either that or just stay home (which I'm considering doing, too).
I am hoping they call Florida and Pennsylvania for HRC early, because then I can not worry and just go to bed.
Agreed -- and Florida closes at 7! I may still stay up, but I won't be worried.
I mean, obviously I will be up past 7.
Ain't no way I can go to bed until it's official.
Am dumb.
How are California's guaranteed? I honestly don't know.
The polls have HRC's chance of winning in California at >99.9%.
Wow, Matt, that sounds so fun!
I will support your kickstarter, Calli.
Agreed -- and Florida closes at 7!
Sad to say our panhandle is in the next time zone so they have to wait until later for them, particularly if they are still in lines to vote.
I'll be staying up until they call NC and FL at least.
