This right here is why in a two party system you don’t vote for the no chance of winning third party candidate, why you don’t stay home. Absolute nail biter in Mississippi race for U.S. Senate. 1/

  • Mississippi does not have automatic recounts. Doesn’t permit candidates to request a recount. Recounts in the state are held only in the event of a court order. 2/

    @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social This is why you need ranked choice voting, instead of first-past-the-post.

    @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social Yeah! And why “oh, why bother voting, my vote won’t matter” is (yet again) shown to be nonsense! 28 votes, that’s the difference between the two, between Senator Cindy vs Senator Scott

    @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social And because so many of them were marked inactive (I just heard it’s because they used the credit bureaus data and marked people inactive who shouldn’t have been) now counting the provisional ballots is going to take them longer.

    @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social I voted in the Idaho Congressional district 2 election in 1984. I know that the results can be this F-ing close.

    @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social stop belittling 3rd party candidates. This country is stronger when the people have more options. Don't be a quisling for the two party system. Don't like how it effects electorialism? Push for ranked choice voting. Don't ever try to sell less power to the people.
