Georgia and Arizona seem to be the two main states the problems are stemming from today.
What another incredibly bad 15 pieces of luck they seem to be having.
And In North Dakota they passed a law requiring everyone to have an address to vote
Which disenfranchises the Natives living on reservations who only have p.o boxes
Funny they would introduce that law in a year a Native is running for a statewide office

Only been in the US a year so I'm still filthy immigrant scum at the minute - just went along with my wife out of interest in how they do "Election Day" here. Like you though, this state couldn't be any bluer if it held it's breath for 4 years, so it all seemed remarkably undramatic tbh.
I only got citizenship last year so this was my first timing voting
I keep hearing horror stories about people queuing for hours but it was easy here by comparison

Did you get asked where you live and get checked off against a list, same as here?
Yeah,drama free
When I handed in my ballot it went through a machine and I had to give my name again but no big deal

Getting less than a third of the vote against any possible contender.
Yes,because polls two years out from an election are a useful barometer

I don't know who Steve Bullock or John Delaney are but they must be completely hopeless if Avenatti is above them.
Name recognition is what its about at this stage

The Democrats are in a bind,after shafting Sanders last time around they would want to be seen to intefere in the process in 2020
Which means they could end up with a silly amount of people contesting the nomination and that can only help Trump

Do the people who live in a place not get to decide what it's called?Not if a minority of British immigrants(sorry ex pats) decide otherwise

That you aren't Irish and aren't from Derry
You have completely avoided my question
You aren't from Derry or the country its situated in
Why do you persist in calling the city by a name thats rejected by the vast majority of its inhabitants?

I know you're trying to avoid the main issue of this thread - that today's conviction of Torbett has made Celtic complicit in his crimes - but please don't use religiously pejorative terms - even if they're encouraged here. I don't. Nor should you.
You and your fellow h*uns laugh openly about paedophilia so don't act like its something that really bothers you
And were the English journalists that first referred to you as h*uns for rampaging through Birmingham and Newcastle having a go at your fellow orcs religion?
Is that really your position?

You have quoted this before and I have stated my position quite clearly. That you persist is to your chagrin.
Let me be more explicit wrt the topic on hand. I have also posted this on FF. You will know this as it is clearly your favourite site:
1. If you have a coach in your club who sexually abuses your young players then you are unfortunate. These snakes are hard to detect at first and the guilt is on the perpetrator.
2. If you invite a known paedophile back in to your club and he, again, abuses young boys then your club is very much at fault and deserves all the opprobrium it gets.Its to my "chagrin" that I dont believe you that you were actually praising catholic schools for giving students a grounding in the classics and not poking fun at paedophilia to get a laugh out of your fellow h*uns?

My ID on FF is the same as on here for a reason: I have nothing to hide and my attitude is the same on both boards.
That Torbett (2) is incendiary for the club involved is a given. That one has to be circumspect about discussing it is tragic.
On Follow Follow you find paedophilia a fit subject for humour
Do you honestly find it tragic that you you have to be circumspect about joking about it here?
