Cook moves Slotkin's seat towards Republicans. It's open (she's running for Senate). Biden won the seat by 1%. It's somewhat Democrat-trending due to Lancing. It's a bellwether district of sorts. What has a town in western Sussex got to do with the US presidential election?? |

What has a town in western Sussex got to do with the US presidential election?? What is ‘western Sussex’? It’s West Sussex you’re thinking of. And yes, I’m thinking of Lansing. I bet it’s an Americanised version of Lancing. Democrats will certainly be Lancing the boil of Trumpism in Michigan |

Sussex only has one county cricket team and one Constabulary so I don't like to acknowledge the artificial west-east divide too strongly. Let's tear down that wall!

A Chinese national has been arrested for illegally voting. The ballot cast by the person in question is irretrievable however as it has already passed through the tabulator, as such it will unfortunately count.
Obviously the Trump campaign have pounced on this, with somewhat legitimate reason. It is a sign that they aren’t wrong per se to have concerns about election integrity, but it doesn’t amount the extent of outright rigging they claim.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Michigan made an example of this guy, which they should do, by prosecuting him and then deporting him.

I think the phrase "be careful what you wish for" is rather appropriate in this case

batman has hit the nail on the head here. There was one candidate that was better for Palestine/ Lebanon and it wasn't the one they voted for.

I'm not sure that's the case. My understanding is Muslim voters could see no effective difference between the genocide Biden was enabling and the one Trump would, so voted for Trump's tax cut. |

The situation may be slightly analogous to right wing UK voters backing Reform and getting Labour. The point is your usual party will only do what you want if it's punished when it doesn't. Just as Reform voting conservatives have succeeded (apparently at least) in pushing the Tories rightward Muslim voters may believe they can force the Democrats to adopt more pro Palestinian positions. I don't think they can because there aren't enough of them. |

Not the tax cut. They voted for the paternalist. As did many Hispanic men. They love a good authoritarian male figure. |

Indeed. But there is a reason why there are no Arab democracies. Arab culture have not evolved far enough yet. Cairo does not give these people a vote, that fact that Michigan chooses to is Michigans problem. |

I like the sound of that. We should do more of that everywhere. |

I want candidates to be embarrassed if they are doing well among the Arab vote because while it is rightly quantatively equal to every other vote, it is qualatively inferior. Look, stop making statements dressed up as questions about my thought processes, you are not doing it in good faith and even if you were I dont think you have the smarts to understand my thoughts |

Trump wins Daerborn amid east-west divide. Vote for Jill Stein, get Trump.
