Just had our first Waffle House experience at 1am. Great food, great prices, and friendly staff. 10/10, we will be coming back.😋

Did you bother listening? I did. It was a classic concession speech. Every element taliked about her campaign in past tense.

And by the way, if you want to watch the speech you can find it right now on CSPAN. Looks for the title "Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate Nithya Raman Election Night Concession Speech" by "Nithya RamanMayoral Candidate (Former)"

@secondcityy @JamesSurowiecki Why on earth do you keep trying to hide behind Pratt?

The statistical anomoly here is Raman's incredible surge and outperformance in the late mail-in voting while losing her own district(!) and having already conceded several days ago.

[Daniel Booth @booth44]

@secondcityy @JamesSurowiecki Uh, no. Bass led Raman by a significant margin in the 18-39 age group in pre-election polls.

Wildest takeaways from my time at the Ballot Processing Center today.

✍🏻 Signatures only need to be 40% accurate (!) this is the setting the machines are set at for LA County (called the ASV)

🗳️ The last two drops disproportionately supported Raman. Are those coming from specific neighborhoods since they’re such an anomaly? Or are the neighborhoods pretty spread out that you count from on a given day? “We’re not sure.”

💌 If you’re unable to sign, you can make a “mark” like a dot or slash instead of signing. A witness then signs below.

I asked them how they verify these signatures. Turns out, they simply don’t.

Well, you must check the witness signatures, right? “No, we don’t.”

So what if I stole a ballot, made a dash by the person’s name, and signed my name? “You shouldn’t do that, but in theory it would be counted,” they said.

How many of these “marked” ballots get in per election? “We don’t know,” they said.

Ripe for fraud, no?

iPhone: I'm gonna update your software tonight while you sleep.

iPhone in the morning: I couldn't do it, bro. Just didn't feel right. The vibe was off.

Bass isn't gaining in the late votes because the powers that be in California have no need for Bass to gain in the late votes.

This is true in the same way that the population of my house declines at the end of a party when I make everybody leave

@matthewstoller She has nothing to "repent" for. She was one of his attorneys.

The Venn diagram between people who think you should get fired for using the R word and people who think you should be able to euthanize your child if it has Down syndrome is almost a circle

@matthewstoller When you're accustomed to fawning MSM coverage, finally being held accountable to the same standards applied to others feels like a "smear campaign".

[Daniel Booth @booth44]

@BasedMikeLee Interesting. Collins was a yes this time...Bennet did not vote. 50-49.

[Gator Gar @gatorgar]

Remember Pop-up Video?

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Today I stand with women who are brave enough to come forward with their stories of abuse and mistreatment.

They deserve to be heard and credible allegations must be investigated. We must believe survivors, not bully them. #BelieveSurvivors

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

Lost in the furor among the long list of wrongdoings and immoral actions by Platner is a reference in this story that Platner kept an AR-15 in his Capitol Hill (DC) apartment.

That’s a crime.

Possession of assault weapons is illegal in DC.

@matthewstoller At this point, Democrats sticking with Platner is a gift to the GOP.

[Daniel Booth @booth44]

@GOPChairperson @mikehtrujillo Why do you use the past tense?

[Liz Wolfe @LizWolfeReason]

It is shrouded in shame...because it is shameful
