  - sure, but that seems just as unlikely. -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 18:11 3
    - at least until they get the absolute crap knocked out of them (maybe after two more years of blocking supreme court noms?) -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 18:15 2

Three day weekend with voting from Saturday through Monday. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 17:22 6
- And no reporting on returns until Friday night. -- nm - Max Nov 7, 17:27 4
  - And votes halt and adjust using a reasonable multiplier, damnit! -- nm - Qale Nov 7, 17:36 2
    - Ha! :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 18:10
    - Hahahaha -- nm - ML Galaxy Nov 7, 17:50

    - Madea's Arbor Day! -- nm - prayformojo Nov 7, 17:50
    - Why? Some things are just worth doing themselves and not at the expense of anything else. -- nm - Max Nov 7, 17:30 2
      - You must be productive and earn for the country. You have enough days off! -- nm - Che Krustyvara Nov 7, 17:33
