    - yes -- nm - Remlik Oct 3, 12:26
  - I want to see what they do with Flash but Arrow and Legends are on a short leash -- nm* - Beaker Oct 3, 12:10 4

So, Illinois extended same day voter registration at polls only in urban areas and said people in rural areas still needed to go to county seat - spamlet Oct 3, 11:53 22
- I'm assuming it's meant to address an increased need for same-day registrations in urban areas, and rural counties have to stick with the status quo? - znufrii, dad. Oct 3, 12:26 5
  - Edit: They had same day registration everywhere in 2014 Governor's race but when made permanent only counties >100k could do it. -- nm* - spamlet Oct 3, 12:29 4
    - Thx. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Oct 3, 12:49
    - [deleted] 2
      - I don't know. I was listening to a podcast where it was brought up but they didn't mention a cite. I tried Google but only came up with a crappy AP - spamlet Oct 3, 12:36 1
        
        There might be something in ond of these.... -- (link) - . Oct 3, 12:51
- Judge said it wasn't. -- nm - . Oct 3, 12:16
- There is an equal protection argument here, but the state could probably come up with good counter-arguments. - ReluctantCynic Oct 3, 12:14 5
  - The counter argument was technology. The urban sites had access to a database that they could double check the registrants status on immediately, the rural areas don't. -- nm* - . Oct 3, 12:23 1
    - It was struck down on Voter Registration Day, Sept 27. -- (link) - . Oct 3, 12:27

    - I know, right? - ReluctantCynic Oct 3, 12:24
  - Let me hear you say it's illegal. SAY IT. SAY IT!!! -- nm - Professor Sam Kinison Oct 3, 12:16
- Even in a non-intent example such as the one Jack mentions about no Sunday voting, claiming logistical hardship to support rural areas is a crock. - Max Oct 3, 11:58 5
  - Speaking from first-hand experience, it's not a crock. - ReluctantCynic Oct 3, 12:07 4
    - Did you have money for those fancypants "I voted" stickers and voting ballots? Come up with the damn money! -- nm* - Max Oct 3, 12:09
    - it shouldn't be left to the counties to pay for it. -- nm - Reagen Oct 3, 12:08 2
      - Precisely. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 3, 12:16 1
        
        The real solution is to prohibit people from living in the Outlands. -- nm - Max Oct 3, 12:31

"Alicia Machado! I almost forgot even though we already made a video about her." "Who is..Alicia Machado?" "Thanks for bringing that up, Lester." -- nm - Max Oct 3, 11:43 33
- Baldwin's Trump is up there with some of the best presidential impersonations SNL has had, imo. - Inigo Oct 3, 11:47 24
  - Alec benefits from impersonating someone who is basically a cartoon character. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 3, 12:00 6
    - yes, and no. It's easy to do a broad Trump, but to do an exact Trump takes a weird vocal trick. -- nm - Reagen Oct 3, 12:09 3
      - See, I thought his voice was not right for it. -- nm - Spawn Oct 3, 12:10 2
        
        he wove in and out. I thought he nailed it more than not. -- nm - Remlik Oct 3, 12:27 1
        
        At times he had it which made it glaring when he did not. I guess he had short notice so hopefully he will do better going forward. -- nm - Spawn Oct 3, 12:40
    - plus some of Trump you literally can take from Mussolini. - Mel Profit Oct 3, 12:03 1
      - "She's always screaming, she's constantly lying, her hair is crazy, her face is completely orange except around the eyes where it's white," - Max Oct 3, 12:05
  - McKinnon's is funnier but I feel Poehler's version was more fitting. -- nm - Max Oct 3, 11:53 2
    - Yeah, after watching the clip posted below, 100% agreed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 3, 12:03
    - Im on the Kate McKinnon train, she the funny -- nm* - budice Oct 3, 11:54
  - Clinton doesn't really have a hook to her impression - Reagen Oct 3, 11:51 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - Try Park Ridge, Illinois accent. -- nm - . Oct 3, 12:30
  - Before the new episode they showed a replay from 2012 of Romney vs Obama. I'd forgotten how funny that one was. -- (link) - Max Oct 3, 11:50
  - [deleted] 1
    - At this point, I still say Fey/palin was more spot on. But I guess I need a bigger sample size to make a sound judgement. -- (edited) - Spawn Oct 3, 11:52 [youtube]
  - Wait, he is presidennt now? -- nm - Spawn Oct 3, 11:49 7
    - in his mind he is -- nm - decline Oct 3, 11:59
    - I'm considering each candidate as a presidential impression. Hammond as Al Gore would be presidential, too. - Inigo Oct 3, 11:50 3
      - Dana Carvey as Ross Perot was *awesome* -- nm - Strongbad Oct 3, 12:37 2
        
        1. Fey/Palin. 2. Carvey/Perot. 3. Hammond/Clinton. 4. Chevy/Ford. 5. Baldwin/Trump -- nm - Spawn Oct 3, 12:42
        
        yup -- nm - Beaker Oct 3, 12:39
    - just getting prepared -- nm - groiny Oct 3, 11:50
    - Inigo has breaking news. -- nm - budice Oct 3, 11:50
- the look down at the lecturn for the zinger was perfect. -- nm - Reagen Oct 3, 11:47
- I wonder how many episodes we go before some creepy Donald/Ivanka stuff? -- nm - Spawn Oct 3, 11:45 6
  - "Like, yoinks, I think I hear someone coming!" "Ewww, who would have sex in this dirty old castle?" -- nm - Max Oct 3, 11:47 5
    - So, how many people did Margot Robbie straight-up murder? - Spawn Oct 3, 11:50
    - "And *I'm* Eric!" -- nm - Reagen Oct 3, 11:50 3
      - that was great. "I'm the smart one" "I'm the pretty one" "I'm Eric" -- nm - Beaker Oct 3, 11:56 2
        
        That they did the same joke with the Kardashians makes it funnier. -- nm - Roger More Oct 3, 12:03 1
        
        They're basically Mom from Futurama's sons to me. -- nm - Reagen Oct 3, 12:11
In something we can all agree on (Anti-Duke news): Harry Giles will miss 6 weeks due to knee arthroscopy. -- nm - Spawn Oct 3, 11:43
