smittyoneeach's Journal: Had a great election night

In no particular order:

• After a 16 hour day, the poll was closed; results reported; materials returned to the county; I was home. My party got wrecked locally, but that's how it does with a homo bureaucratus infestation as far as the eye can see. Still, an excellent experience serving the community.
• It's not terribly clear why we bother polling, given the fact that the media seems more interested in shaping opinion than reporting it. I may have answered myself there.
• I've always been ambivalent about Trump, never being totally sure which is true: (a) he's 76 going on 7, or (b) his mercurial act is about keeping opponents guessing. Tending toward (a) at the moment. Conservative blogs are calling for his ouster. Unfortunately, the weaponization of law enforcement by Democrats against conservatives means that Trump has to run to argue for Hillary's "Candidate Pass": "Any efforts to investigate are politically driven, so neener, neener, neener."
• In any case, one is willing to [arnold voice] Let him go [/arnold voice] as part of a "Cancel all Boomers" rule. GenX is tired of the old farts.
• Finally, mail-in ballots are the end off the republic. You either care about election integrity and voter privacy while marking a ballot, or you turn Election Day into the god-forsaken, mokey-fighting travesty we see playing out in a couple of states.
