I don't have a problem with having to present an ID when voting. But you definitely need to brush up on how voter registration works if you think that a non-citizen could just walk in and vote. Trump started voter fraud investigation in 2017 and it found nothing,

Illegals can get drivers licences in tons of places, mostly you need a drivers licence to register to vote, more and more they are automatically registered to vote when getting a licence..

"California has implemented a law providing for the automatic voter registration of motorists who obtain or renew driver's licenses, and critics contend that the law will make it easier for non-citizens to unlawfully vote."
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/california-motor-voter-act/
Even snopes admit it...

Michigan..
https://www.wxyz.com/news/political/proposal-3-passes-in-michigan-allowing-for-easier-access-to-voting
Proposal 3 had several aspects to it. Those include:

Automatically registering people when they apply for, update or renew a driver’s license
Allow people to register to vote with proof of residency and obtain a ballot during the 2-week period prior to an election
Obtain an absentee ballot without providing a reason
Allow straight-ticket voting during a partisan general election
Proposal 3 will go into effect next year.

Not citizenship?

Gerrymandering is always going to be a problem unless we can find a new alternative to it (I haven't researched the topic, so I'm just stating that) As the party in power during redistricting is going to try to do this -- both sides of the aisle.

That's what Colorado and Michigan are trying to do by establishing independent committees to draw the districts.

The legislatures are going to be the big deal with the district drawing btw, not the governor mansions.

Governors can veto the maps and if the legislature doesn't have a veto-proof super-majority then it would likely get decided by (possibly) less partisan courts.

If you can't see the conflict of interest here you value your emotions over logic. Their base is increasingly fleeing to the right, so they have to import illegal voters just to keep up. This is why they fight so hard against voter ID laws. You can't even get on a plane without ID, but you can vote without one? This disenfranchises no one while protecting the rights of eligible voters by preventing fraud.

I hope I am tremendously mistaken but the future of the free world looks grim..

With what power we have left until 2020 if we don't do something serious about the millions of leftist voters that came here and are coming here just to rape our country for their own personal gain, it's over..

I'm just saying that the leader of your party seems to think it's a success  Grin

You know the future of the free world also involves the other half of voters that you don't like... what exactly do you suggest to prevent them from voting?

BLUE WAVE! BLUE WAVE!

[creeps by barely having a majority]

WE WON! TRUMP SEEMS TO THINK THIS WAS A SUCCESS! HAH!

He did win. Your "blue wave" was a pathetic trickle. The Democrats got just enough rope to hang themselves with, and since they have serious learning problems they will do just that.

FYI just standing on the Earth within the confines of the USA doesn't give you a right to vote. Also pretending like the left is not simply buying votes by giving more and more handouts as they import more and more unskilled impoverished workers from high crime areas of the world is kind of childish.

If you can't see the conflict of interest here you value your emotions over logic. Their base is increasingly fleeing to the right, so they have to import illegal voters just to keep up. This is why they fight so hard against voter ID laws. You can't even get on a plane without ID, but you can vote without one? This disenfranchises no one while protecting the rights of eligible voters by preventing fraud.

Reality and logic are truly the compassionate choices. Not pretty lies that make people feel good now at the cost of creating hell on Earth later.

Honestly, even though the GOP did lose the house -- this was expected to happen due to the location of the house races (suburbs, tough area for GOP in this day and age) It's going to be some time until we know how large the house majority is, but I don't expect it to be too large -- that's a slim majority that had a good deal of moderates elected in it.

The blue wave never came, and GOP made gains in the Senate. Divided government, though GOP still has the Supreme Court, The Senate, and The Presidency.

It's a bit more complicated than that. 98 million total votes counted so far. This most closely reflects the popular vote. Democrats are +4% (51.2 vs 47.2). It might go up a little bit. Their house majority so far is ~2% - the difference is mostly due to gerrymandering, which is slowly being defeated via ballot initiatives and court cases so next election might be slightly less lopsided.

Not everyone voted in the Senate races (only 1/3 is up for reelection). 72 million total votes counted so far. Most of those up for reelection were Democratic Senators. So it's really hard to gauge the impact. The big loss is (likely) Florida but as Phil mentioned there is a ballot initiative there that might change the balance.

36 governor races. 81 million votes counted so far. Democrats flipped 7. Republicans flipped 0. May impact redistricting in 2021.

46 state legislature elections. I just started digging into those so not sure what's going on there but it looks like Democrats flipped a handful, which may impact redistricting in 2021.

Overall a shitty day for Republicans. Perhaps less shitty than they feared but they got kicked quite brutally in the suburbs, which used to be their base.

Ballot initiatives (not 100% verified, just bits collected from the news reports):

Redistricting reform passed in Colorado and Michigan.
Same-day voter registration passed in Maryland.
Voter ID passed in Arkansas and NC.
Medicaid expansion passed in Nebraska, Utah, Idaho.
Recreational weed passed in Michigan, failed in ND.

Of course, this isn't a good day, losing the house is never good. But the Speaker Ryan House wasn't one which was benefitting Trump too greatly anyway -- we were severely hampered by him being a RINO. We'll see what a Divided government does I suppose. But this was a lot better than a blue wave coming in.

Crack down on illegal non-citizen voting.. Stop importing those who will gladly vote out our constitution and best interest of our country for their own personal gain..
They will bring in as many as they can for more votes for their absolute power scheme and it's working beautifully, all over the world..

You're tremendously mistaken:

Evidence Shows Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnik Criminally Conspired to Take Kavanaugh Down With Lies
...
"The evidence appears to support the position that Julie Swetnick and Mr. Avenatti criminally conspired to make materially false statements to the Committee and obstruct the Committee’s investigation.  Accordingly, the Committee referred both to the Department of Justice and FBI for investigation and potential violations of 18 U.S.C. § 371, § 1001, and § 1505 on October 25, 2018," the report states. "In addition, on October 26, 2018, the Committee made a second criminal referral against Michael Avenatti to the Justice Department and FBI for investigation of potential violations of 18 U.S.C. §§   1001   (knowingly   providing   materially   false   statements)   and 1505 (obstruction of a congressional investigation), based upon the NBC story that evidenced that Mr. Avenatti may have fabricated allegations by a second declarant."

And the left STILL got millions of votes..
All the violent rioting leftist mobs that have happened.. Still got millions of votes..
All the conservative speakers they have shut down on campuses across America.. All the blatant anti-white racism.. All of the censorship of social media platforms banning conservatives, using algorithms against conservative posts, The state of Washington is suing Facebook and Google over allegations that the two companies violated campaign finance laws, using their monopoly over the mainstream internet to influence and propagandize.. The fake news msm, cnn and such..
The fake russia witch hunt against Trump, all of those lies and deciet of the deep state fisa warrants and such..
Everything that project veritas has recently exposed, beto campaign financing the caravans on their way to force themselves into this country illegally and he still got millions of votes..  

I could go on and on, but it doesn't matter, because they will still get millions of votes no matter how dirty they play, because half of voters don't even care and will still vote for their free stuff..

Non-Citizens Voting in Texas? "We got TONS of them" Says Election Official on Undercover Video
Come on! DO SOMETHING about that!!


After all of this they can still win elections..
Maybe we didn't lose very badly in the midterms but we still lost! To that!

Democrats just basically SWEPT Michigan. Putting recreational marijuana on the ballot brought out a LOT of voters that wouldn't usually vote, and voted hard for the left while they were at it..
Just passed a prop to basically make Michigan more open to illegal voters like that Texas video above.. Texas almost fell to the left! TEXAS!!
Michigan elects 1 of first 2 Muslim women in Congress
Texas will be a blue state soon.. Felons can vote in Florida now so that is going to be a blue state from now on.. Game over..


I hope I am tremendously mistaken but the future of the free world looks grim..

With what power we have left until 2020 if we don't do something serious about the millions of leftist voters that came here and are coming here just to rape our country for their own personal gain, it's over..

Atleast BTC is up a tiny bit today..

Rashida Tlaib, the democratic socialist muslim Michigan just elected, was recently arrested for disobeying police orders while blocking a street.. Obviously has no respect for law and order, socialist..

I guess congratiolations are in order to American people. There will be a bit more checks and balances, a notable opposition to trumping... I am sorry to say but from the outside US was starting to look a bit like dictatorship. This is more breathable.

The country may be too far gone to see a conservative pop vote anymore.. Sad, but the states will still vote conservative often, senate and Ec, because we aren't all corrupted yet..

It's pretty hard to believe so many people are still willing to hand power to leftists seeing all the shit they have pulled recently.. Free stuff for yourself at the expense of your country is powerful I suppose.. Importing more every day..   
Their quest for ultimate power is still in full force.. The Trump election may have just been a temporary reprieve of the downfall of the west, back to business as usual..

FL passed the right to vote for felons that have served their time.

So 1,500,000 new people can vote.

Most of those felons were black men that were busted for drugs. So this will mean trump will find it harder to win FL in 2020.

Interesting times.

In my state of NJ  Menendez won senate against Hugin  this was a senator race.

I predict Democrat disappointment.

Well   Looks like a spilt.

Congressman looks dem

Senators look republican.


Pretty much means trumps gets impeached by congressman then senate votes and says fuck that shit.

A lot like what happened to Clinton .


I wanted all dem or all republican resolution  here.

Instead we get 2 years of mud.


I think this  result may get trump re-elected much like Clinton was.

At eddie13 you should go back and look at what was said on sat nite live. News part Michael Che called for demacrats to move to red states to defeat republicans and end the right wing movement.

Basic numbers say that could work.  Flood Texas flood Florida with California and New York liberals and we will never see another conservative get in.

Give NY CA FL TX to dems and it crushes the right wing movement. I wonder if this will be a new move to attack the right.

Maybe this is something to get used to..

Senate - States
House - pop vote

9:30 PM: ~35 million votes counted, 50% Republican. 538: D +24, 55% blue.
Flippable governors: Kemp (GA-R) +10% @ 29% counted. Evers (WI-D) +5% @ 20% counted. Gillum/DeSantis (FL) not decided yet (less than 1% diff) with Miami still counting.

9:45 PM: ~40 million votes counted, first time this evening D outnumbers R by ~0.5%. 538 forecast: D +26 seats, 60% chance to flip the house.
Flippable governors: Kemp (GA-R) +11% @ 34% counted. Evers (WI-D) +4% @ 31% counted. Gillum/DeSantis (FL) not decided yet (~1% diff) with Miami still counting.
House flip: Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D) defeats Carlos Curbelo (R) in FL-26.
House flip: Jason Crow (D) defeats Mike Coffman (R) in CO-6.
House flip: Mary Gay Scanlon (D) defeats Pearl Kim (R) in PA-5 (redistricted).
House flip: Conor Lamb (D) defeats Keith Rothfus (R) in PA-17 (redistricted).
Total: D +6 house seats so far.

10:00PM ~45 million votes counted, D / R split ~ evenly. 538 forecast: D +30 seats, 79% chance to flip the house.
Governor flip: Gretchen Whitmer (D) defeats Bill Schuette (R) in Michigan.
Seats flipped so far: house D +8, senate R +1, governors D +2.

10:10PM ~50 million votes counted, D / R split ~ evenly. 538 forecast: D +34 seats, 90% chance to flip the house.
Governor flip: Laura Kelly (D) defeats Kris Kobach (R) in Kansas.
Flippable governors: Kemp (GA-R) +10% @ 50% counted. Evers (WI-D) +4% @ 46% counted. Gillum/DeSantis (FL) not decided yet (~1% diff) with Miami still counting.
Seats flipped so far: house D +9, senate R +1, governors D +3.

I'm gonna stop now - have to get back to work. With ~ half of the votes counted it seems that the result is going to be a lot like expected - Democrats should be able to take 30+ House seats and Republicans might gain 1-2 Senate seats (Beto just lost in Texas). A handful of governor positions will likely flip to Democrats.

Nate silver said he's still tweaking the live odds but its currently at 5 in 9 vs 4 in 9 which is essentially tossup for who will control the house.  Senate is >95% chance of republican control.

 Not looking good for the democrats.
