And yet we wonder why trust in the democratic system is eroding. Voters aren’t invested in the processes; which makes them easy to malign and exploit
Aren't blockades considered acts of war?

Shocked. Shocked I tell you that a marginal event favored terrain, more forcing, and non- urban areas in the mid atlantic
Grade our forecast!
Here's a comparison of what we predicted vs. what fell.
Guess we didn't account for the DC snow hole enough :(
This was a tough forecast...but decent match.

The warning for an M5.9 earthquake near Dayton, NV this morning was an incorrect alert issued by the USGS ShakeAlert program. None of the stations in the Nevada Seismological Laboratory network detected any large earthquakes in Nevada this morning.

All the signs point to some sort of malfunction in USGS's system. Also not historically where the NV nuclear testing ground is, too close to population centers www.2news.com/news/local/p...

Put the binary (R/D) outcome to the side. In Middle TN, you're seeing 5-10 pt shifts. and 10-20 in suburban + urban areas
That's the early warning sign of a tidal wave

The two rural counties that have 95 or higher reporting swing 9.3 and 17 points Dem off Harris's number. Binary outcomes aside, that should pull up even more red flags for the GOP

Splitting Indianapolis into 4 districts, also known as what TN GOP did to Nashville
Indiana Republicans have unveiled their proposal to re-gerrymander the congressional map & expand their current 7-2 majority to 9-0.
The Dem-held 1st would flip to Trump+12 & the 7th to Trump+19. All 7 GOP seats would be at least Trump+18.

ah, it's 2018 again
President Trump and some congressional Republicans are mulling a bill on GOP health care goals.
Some argue that now is the time while Republicans still control the House, Senate and the White House.

Remember the KS-04 special election from 2017? the GOP won it, but it took a dark, dark red district and made it a barnburner. TN-07 gives me the same kind of idea. The binary might be R (an upset would be a colossal shift), but what it implies could be of greater importance
