No thanks. I'd rather kick myself later for turning it down than be in a position where I win and can't collect.

If she wins though, it'll be by under 3%. Up 11-13 points is laughable.

lmao, preemptively calling your opponent a welcher to avoid accepting 5-1 odds on something you just staked a bold claim on

I imagine a poster or two would be interested in betting on her +3 pts as well since you're trying so hard to not bet against her straight up.

That's fantastic. Also Rafael is skipping a town hall debate with Beto so Beto will do it alone (this after previously challenging Beto to 5 debates).

Tammy Baldwin is 88% on PI. Actually UP 2% since yesterday. I wish overreacting hot takes (on both sides!) were a bannable offense around here, especially if the poster is not willing to back it with a bet

On the 538 live model? Nobody. Hillary was at like 68-70 percent to win right before the results were tallied.

This isn't 2004, we can't just do anonymous Stars transfers. I don't have any crypto accounts.

It is *way* easier to transfer money in 2018 than 2004.

SCOTUS upheld North dakota's you need a street address to vote law. (this was w/o kav)

In other words get ****ed native americans.

From here https://www.motherjones.com/politics...otans-to-vote/
Ginsburg noted that according to the factual record of the case, about 20 percent of voters likely to try to cast a ballot in the midterms will lack the required identification.

TWENTY PERCENT WTF

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan dissented.

So Sotomayor and Breyer upheld? Why?

My understanding is that this wasn't an actual case, this was them declining to hear the case... So it's anonymous unless they sign on to a dissent, so it could have been 6-2, 5-3 or 4-4 as far as we know, but only RBG dissented with Kagan signing on.
