The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I remember election night, of 2004. The local Detroit news showed a helo shot of people lined up around the block, in Toledo, trying to vote, at 11pm. For those folks in Toledo, still in line at 11pm, the election may as well have been cancelled. Seems everything went fine in Repub areas of Ohio, but the Dem leaning districts in Toledo and Cleveland were mysteriously short of voting machines. The Ohio state official who was responsible for running elections was also the head of the Bush campaign in Ohio, because conflict of interest is a "traditional American value".'

Bush carried Ohio by 118,000 votes.


Uh, huh. Sounds like the election wasn't cancelled.
You're also aware that elections are run down at the precinct level inside of cities....and that Toledo, OH is very likely not run by conservative Republicans, right?

Nice try, but try again.
