A ballot with only a single candidate/position filled out. No down ticket voting present with it.

I'm just saying, scenario one would help me sleep a whole lot better. If people came out in droves specifically in swing states to only vote for Trump, then it is what it is. The fact it's not a standard preliminary check, and it was passed over because the margins were just outside the bounds of automatic recount.. it matters.

And if scenario two is the case, to hell with the machines, let's get back to hand counting everything and waiting weeks for a final verified result. The machines are here to simplify counting and speed up reaching a consensus, if they are not accurate they have failed in their purpose and should be discarded from the process. This does not bring election integrity into question since there is a paper trail to back it up. If the machines are broken, miscounting or insecure - the public should know.

This is a compelling argument and statistically significant enough to convince me these states need a paper recount. I had no idea bullet ballots were so astronomically outside of the norm, and occuring directly in counties that happen to needed to swing? Come on. The projected data is beyond troubling, not just for this election, but for the general integrity of the ballot.

Spending all that money to end up gaming on a membrane keyboard and OEM tier mouse.

They clicked discard changes, confirmed it, and the computer did as instructed. This operation is normally not so destructive as it only discards uncommitted changes to realign the local directory with the remote server. Unfortunately for user, it sounds like they have never committed a change, so realignment meant reverting to an empty folder.

If you're quiet and listen closely, you can hear Ted Stevens grumbling about tubes from his grave.

He's promoted unproven medical treatments for personal gain, opposed the Affordable Care Act, and supports the expansion of advantage plans aka privatized/subsidized medicare. Pretty mainline republican, but all this likely means more money out of your mom's pocket for care.

It's detailed in the last line, but CMS is Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

As CMS Administrator, Oz would oversee a broad agency that provides coverage through Medicare, Medicaid and other programs to more than 160 million people.

Springer was a lawyer and mayor, at least he'd bring some qualifications.

Summary

Masked neo-Nazis marched through Columbus, Ohio’s Short North neighborhood on Saturday, displaying swastika flags and making racist and antisemitic statements.

Police are investigating, and no arrests have been reported.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Columbus officials condemned the display, emphasizing that hate and bigotry have no place in the state.

The incident follows a similar demonstration in Michigan last week, where masked protesters displayed Nazi flags outside a performance of The Diary of Anne Frank.

 

Project: https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract

Demo: https://tesseract.dubvee.org

What it is:

Tesseract is a Sublinks/Lemmy client designed for media-rich feeds and content. It's an alternative front-end that can be hosted on the sh.itjust.works servers side-by-side with the current interface, similar to how oldsh.itjust.works operates.

In addition to the overall improved user experience, it also has enhancements for moderators and instance admins. These are worth checking out, I quite like the modlog.

What I like about it:

  • Improved Media Support in Feed and Posts
  • Community Browser / Enhanced Discovery
  • Better Moderation Tools than Lemmy-UI
  • Alternate Sources Menu (All link posts have a dropdown menu next to the link which contains alternate links to the post URL from Ghost Archive, 12ft, and Archive Today.)

Try it:

An open, public demo instance is available at tesseract.dubvee.org. Try it with your favorite Lemmy instance by changing settings in the Demo Account Page.

Proposal:

I believe this front-end should be included and hosted by SJW as an option, under a unique subdomain.

After nearly 2 decades of Sherrod Brown representing Ohio in the Senate, Republicans have successfully bucked him from the seat.

Wow what a win! What do you hope he accomplishes in the first 90 days? What are you most excited for?

Edit- please don't downvote if you don't like him just move on. This is the state's reality, he's going to be writing and signing policies on our behalf.

 

Chat, is saying "stop sucking putin's dick" homophobic?
