From an Omaha campaign worker

[FlickShagwell]

Has Dundee/Underwood/Happy Hollow always been pretty blue? I was kind of surprised to see all the left signs when driving through there last weekend. Most of those houses are like half a milli.

Don’t know about “always pretty blue,” but definitely college educated/sane.

 

[95Hawk]

Why are you so mad?

He doesn’t come across as mad.

He comes across as someone with a cob stuck up his ass.

But definitely not mad.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

Show where I posted vote counts, moron. Hell, I’m interested in hearing these figures, since I wasn’t even provided with them myself.

We could all use a laugh.

I work in west Omaha (suburban, historically very Republican) with a lady who is working the polls. Talked with her during her lunch break. Said Nebraska as a whole has already seen close to half all ballots cast early. From what she’s hearing from the dem and republican reps tasked with counting votes, Democrats are up way bigger than expected. Too early to tell conclusively, but give a blue dot in Nebraska to Kamala.

Got ya. I just didn't expect it since it's a pretty wealthy area along Happy hallow over by Brownwell Talbot

 

[FlickShagwell]

Why are you so mad?

Because he’s a f*cking idiot hellbent on removing all doubt.

 

[FlickShagwell]

I'm up in Florence.

Damn son. Respeck.

Been watching all three cable networks...all are reporting massive voter turnouts along with the nearly 86 million early votes already returned/cast, total.

That's GREAT news for Dems.
By comparison, in 2020, there were nearly 159 million votes cast.
Have seen estimates we could see 165 million this cycle.

I wonder what this means for the Osborn/Fischer race. I'm betting Rickets squashes Love, but wouldn't mind booting him too.

 

[millah_22]

I don't mind it. We got a nice house for a great price bc people are scared of North O. But tbh we're actually pretty far north of "North O" and there's almost no crime in our area. Just wish there were more restaurants.

 

[torbee]

JFC.

Really dealing with the braintrust here today.

 

[sdhawkeye]

A "general feeling"?

See below:

Still looking for the specific vote count in what you showed, spouse abusing idiot.

 

[ISUBryce]

I have been saying it for about a week and @GOHOX69 has been saying it even longer that this isn't going to be close. People are fed the eff up with turd.

I’m still really skeptical of this. What did we learn that we didn’t already know last time?

 

[CRazzle]

Gender lines will be massive tonight. Trump has the bros for most part and Kamala has a huge section of female votes and the latter will turnout in droves. Harris ground game will pay off later tonight imo.

Trump has the bros who don't vote. I bet they don't even know what their district is.

 

[ISUBryce]

It's hardly "private" when a poll worker shares vote counts and then Flick posts it on an internet message board.

Who you vote for is private, if you vote is a matter of public record. Not sure what the problem is.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

I have already voted 69 times and rounded up 900 illegal brown people who dropped off ballots.

I’m doing my part.

Gracias.

 

[ISUBryce]

Honestly I could maybe be convinced to vote for Trump if he could stop these political text messages. I’ve probably gotten 30 today.

 

[DPUboiler]

I'm still not discounting that this general "vibe" feeling is merely wishful thinking on the part of we non-insane, non-cult members who want to believe America cannot be idiotic enough to put a rapist clown felon back in the White House.

So I'm not popping any corks yet.

As someone who was on the 04 Kerry campaign nationally (and Iowa caucus), agreed. I had a great vibe then.

 

[IACub]

I posted this in a couple other threads, but if you’ve gotten Mrs. spider (no pic) pissed off enough to do something she’s never done in almost 50 years of living, then you’ve done some solid pissing off work.

...

butt stuff???

Did she share poll counts, I guess I didn’t see those. Primarily just a vibe. Why are your panties in a bunch.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

The problem is poll workers releasing this information before the polls close. It can reduce turnout if one side thinks there's no hope because "Democrats are up way bigger than expected.",
as was indicated in the OP.

You're a patriot.

And I mean the good kind, not the ones that were tourists on January 6th.

 

[Capital1Hawk]

Yep. That’s exactly what I said. Three votes will flip the state. But thanks for playing.

4-1, no way 3 votes

We’ve been getting early voting information and exit polls for decades. One person in one precinct isn’t significant.

 

[millah_22]

Can't believe flick would ruin democracy. smh

Oh man, you did?

I was still a reporter during that election and I thought Kerry was a dud who was going to get his ass kicked.

Clearly, you've never met the man

Northern gets painful flashbacks of guys being “way bigger than expected.”

Didn’t even know I had it in me. Maybe I should thank Northern for teaching me about my superpowers.

Thanks for the contribution.

Before going further, did you have sexual relations with an intern?

 

[torbee]

Here's one I know the Flickster can appreciate:

 

[IACub]

*exit polls

While I will agree that a poll worker shouldn't be sharing information prior to the votes being fully counted, what is your actual worry here? You concerned some MAGA is going to check Twitter and think Omaha's in the bag based on one dude's post, so they just get some Busch Light instead of voting?

 

[FlickShagwell]

Before going further, did you have sexual relations with an intern?

Yes. But I was also an intern that summer. What they say about not dipping your pen in the company ink is true, sadly.

 

[artradley]

I have been saying it for about a week and @GOHOX69 has been saying it even longer that this isn't going to be close. People are fed the eff up with turd.

In 2016 Trump outperformed the polls.

In 2020 the polls tried to adjust, and he outperformed the polls even further.

What would you explanation be for the polls to suddenly and significantly switch to undercounting Dem votes?

 

[CRazzle]

Yes. But I was also an intern that summer. What they say about not dipping your pen in the company ink is true, sadly.

Thin water now. Just don't wear a Dijon mustard-colored suit.

Doing some research, I found that Omaha which is the 2nd Congressional District has been blue since Obama., the rest of the state is red.

Your inside information is not big news if anything it was expected.

Got ya. I just didn't expect it since it's a pretty wealthy area along Happy hallow over by Brownwell Talbot

Why does that surprise you? The “new” Dem party is the party of the elites/wealthy. Look at all the Hollywood type endorsements. Increased food/housing costs, crime, immigration, etc doesn’t impact that class of people.
