How many such supposedly Dem letters were sent?

This is all I know: The FBI and state law enforcement are investigating letters – most of them sent to Republicans, including the president of the Jacksonville City Council and a former U.S. ambassador — telling them that they will be unable to vote unless they can prove American citizenshipChris Cate, spokesman for the Florida Division of Elections, said Wednesday that his agency has received reports from 28 counties (including Broward, Duval, Hillsborough and Palm Beach) about the letters that were mailed with a Seattle postmark dated Oct. 17. He said authorities do not know how many letters were sent.

As these were sent both to Republicans and Democrats, I’d wonder if it is strictly a prank. Hope the investigation turns up something solid regarding the perps.

To be honest Dave, I think it is quite possible that the President will lose the popular vote, but take the Electoral College. In fact, I think that’s what the polls are showing.

The United States is increasingly being run by America’s Northeast and Left Coast, courtesy of the electoral college voting system.

Given the Justice Department’s history on investigating suppression of non liberal voters we can expect the FBI’s investigation to end shortly.

Private sector added 158,000 jobs in Oct: ADP

(Reuters) - Companies added 158,000 jobs in October, data from a payrolls processor showed on Thursday in a revamped report on the private sector labor market.

The ADP National Employment Report showed September’s job gains were revised up to 114,000 after initially being revised to 88,200 as part of ADP’s new methodology. Under the old method, September’s gain was originally reported as 162,000.

Economists had forecast October’s report would show a gain of 135,000 jobs, according to a Reuters poll.

No frown face from me. That’s as it should be, in particular the Northeast!

BTW, you live in the Northeast, don’t you?

Actually, the electoral college is the only thing that keeps “flyover country” relevant.

But no Democratic fraud in Florida? Didn’t I hear something about letters being sent to GOP voters suggesting their citizenship and voting ability was in question? And certain voting machines indicating votes for Obama when Romney’s name was entered?

There was an instance of GOP fraud as well. Only registering Romney supporters.

The GOP demonstrated fraud with Gore/Bush. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

Technically, your shadow is generally shorter or taller.
