NC’s 2016 Voter Turnout (through 10 October) NC Republican early voting down by 45% on 2012 at this point in election. Dem/Indy up 6/7 Again, please bear in mind: it’s still early days yet. Ballot numbers are only in the l000s at the moment, but it could be a harbinger?

All of this just goes to show Or as the Japanese might say--“It goes to shoyu.”
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

I have received either my ballot or a sample ballot. I haven't opened it yet but will soon either vote or use it to research which judges lean republican and which democratic. Those are non partisan positions so the party isn't listed with their names.

A new front just opened in the republican civil war Christianity Today — the flagship Evangelical magazine in America — denounces Trump
Enthusiasm for a candidate like Trump gives our neighbours ample reason to doubt that we believe Jesus is Lord,” Christianity Today editorial director Andy Crouch wrote Monday in an editorial. “They see that some of us are so self-interested, and so self-protective, that we will ally ourselves with someone who violates all that is sacred to us.”
Christianity Today was founded by evangelist Billy Graham in 1956 and today serves as a major voice of evangelicals, who make up about more than a quarter of the U.S. population.
The publication does not endorse candidates because it is a nonprofit organization, Crouch wrote in the editorial. But Monday’s editorial, which devoted a paragraph to criticizing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton (mostly for her use of a private email server), hammered Trump for about 1,000 words. Best election ever!

Ouch. First the Mormans, then the Catholics. Now the Evangelicals. I thought the "Grab her" tape might make some Christians come to their senses and stop supporting The AntiChrist.

I don't believe Jesus is Lord... does that mean I have to vote for Trump?
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

Maybe he should have used "Nether Regions"? "Baby-maker"? Or the euphemistic "Down There"? How about "Hoo Haw"? Everybody would have known he was joking if he said "Hoo Haw". How could you take that seriously?
