how long does it take to change voter registration?
i submitted a change of registration back in august and it still has not been processed


that's too long you should call your state election official or go online depending on your state to check your registration status

I've seen mistakes happen before, if more than two weeks, I'd contact them. Our State gov tends to lose things colored red.

Socialized medication is what ruined the medical industry in the first place.

hoping to finally get a Democrat governor back home in SD to get some economic opportunity in Indian country

typically democrats are too blue dog to do much for Lakota issues but maybe a little change is on the horizon

on this rare occasion I'm rooting for the cowboy

Trump's approval rating saw the steepest week decline since the child separation fiasco in June. For the past few weeks, I've been talking about just how great things are going for Trump and the GOP heading into the midterms. It looks like that momentum has evaporated and could be going the other way now. We'll have to see if it translates into any votes. Will be curious to observe if we see any late poll swings in any key races.

RCP is now projecting one less Senatorial pickup for the GOP. Cruz's lead is down to 3 points, Rosen is now up on Heller in NV by 3 points in the latest poll, Sinema has led McSally in 3 of the past 4 weeks in AZ, and Donnelly re-took the lead in Indiana. So it looks like if there is any momentum, it's going the Democrats' way, and it's difficult to see how this past week and a half haven't affected that.

Preexisting conditions were caused by socialism?

Medical billing and coding is the real answer here.

not really surprising that the magabomber and the synagogue shooting would hurt the GOP.

I still dont see the Dems taking the Senate though. not even close. however, the gains or losses in this years senate campaign play an important role for the odds of taking control of the senate in 2020. fivethirtyeight just published an interesting article on it:

I don't see them taking the Senate, either. But this past week may have turned a potentially 2 or 3 Senate seat gain for the GOP into a only a 1 seat gain or a hold. And as we've seen during this Congress, a majority in a chamber isn't always an ideological majority. So the margins definitely matter. 51 seats vs 52 or 53 seats can be a big difference.

Also, the GOP will want to hold onto or gain as many Senate seats as they can during these midterms because as favorable as their map is now, they are going to want some cushion during the 2020 election when there is a risk for huge Democratic turnout with Trump on the ballot.

U.S. voters to decide $76 billion of bonds, taxation limits

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Election ballots around the United States on Tuesday will be packed with referendums for billions of dollars of state, local government and school bonds, as well as measures seeking to curb taxation, expand healthcare for the poor and increase school funding.

There are 673 bond issues on ballots in 38 states totaling nearly $76.3 billion, the biggest amount for a November general election since 2006, according to near-final data from Ipreo by IHS Markit.




Most seem to be in largely democratic states. Dems gone wild!!

Wonder how long it will take for the "other foot" to fall.

honestly, i think with trump on the ballot, presidential years are better for the gop than midterms.

trump caused a huge surge in rural and white working-class turnout in 2016, and he'll do it again in 2020. (or he's toastier than toast anyway.)
but during this year's midterms, those voters who only turned out in 2016 because of trump will have a much lower turnout, while hatred for trump is still riling up the democratic base at full force.

The GOP finally pulled their national support of Steve King after he endorsed a White nationalist in a Canadian election.

Where's that picture of the Detroit representative saying "ching-chong" to her opponent in that Michigan state race again? Would be a good time to post that false equivalency so that we can continue to think that the Liberal party in America is just as racist as the Conservative one.
