I just went to vote in Westchester & machines are apparently broken county wide. They said choice is vote absentee or come back later. This is going to be crazy. Our country is in trouble.

4:30 just voted. Stuck my ballot in the bag. Still nobody there. The funniest thing today besides learning that I am a liar is that many people think I am MAGA. I am as anti T…mp as anyone have been since the USFL.

Mike Lawler who I think is in the Gilded Age is blaming it on the 16th district = Ardsley NY!
NEW: Mike Lawler details why he expects to know the results of the election tonight. Extra machines are on their way to the BOE and the ballots in the orange bags will be transported there to begin processing after 9 PM.

Ah yes. Textbook election-rigging by Dems, suppressing the vote in a county Kamala Harris carried by 26 pts.
This is how the Left steals elections. Mike Lawler’s competitive district and they are turning away voters.

If you’re wondering why Democrats are responding to what Haley Stevens did with a sense of betrayal it’s because it was quite literally betrayal. She told a number of her close friends and colleagues and staff that she’d be at church with Jim Clyburn - they were waiting for her there! And as for the notion that she’s choosing the candidate that isn’t promoting hate how can she justify that when just in the last few days Abdul has been called Muslim Brotherhood, a jihadist, and even a jihadist leprechaun. Sounds like a campaign of hate to me.

The only thing I'd say about Haley Stevens, who I knew pretty well in Congress, is that her actions have been neither principled nor opportunistic, just strange. I'd look more to experts in psychology than politics to explain them. But there are more important issues here. 1/

Last batch of NYT/Sienna polls are out. Bleak picture for Republicans. Not sure Stevens endorsement will be enough

when this is what the Republican senator has to say...
GOP Sen. Thom Tillis: “To call Ken Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder.”

Blow: They're asking the Muslim man running for congress to run for the senate to disavow this, disavow that, disavow that. None of them disavow Donald Trump when he engaged in hatred, none of them… No matter how much he does. It's not enough

I hope folks will think about the fact that @HaleyforMI demanded that @AbdulElSayed denounce as antisemitic an ad he was not associated with, but is now endorsing a man who called Abdul a terrorist. She is fine with bigotry and racism as long as its against the right people.
Q: What your message to Democrats who are upset that throughout the primary you said you would endorse the Democratic nominee and are not doing so today? Stevens: I am sorry people are upset. I understand that. I did endorse the Democratic nominee. He chose to say I wasn’t welcome.

Everyone in the #NFL sucks but the NY Football #Giants are either the 1 eyes man in the land of the blind or the tallest dwarf in the circus. Let’s go!

Stevens got over 30 million from AIPAC in her primary and now she's endorsed a candidate who is also getting millions from AIPAC. What a surprise!

#Titans are finally playing a pretty competitive game & Daboll calls a draw play from his own end zone? Guy just standing there waiting for defense to overrun poor Schlottmann & Co & get a safety.

Mike Rogers will be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda. We can’t afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November. #MISEN
