I received my Kansas mail-in ballot last Saturday and had it delivered to the post office on Tuesday. I had my care-giver take it and hand it to the postal worker in the post office. You are so right: This is The Biggest Election Ever. At least it is in my liffetime, and I will be 72 on Nov. 8. GO DEMS.
Hi Ari!! 🖐 We voted last Tuesday. We went in about an hour before closing. We were done in 10 minutes. YAY!!!! 6 more days of whirlwind ads and worrisome thoughts. Thank you for getting us through all the craziness. Your show is a breath of fresh air everyday. 😊
To answer your question, "What are you watching for on election night?" 'A MIRACLE" 💙🙏✌️
Feel the same way We need a miracle I spoke to someone who "hates" all democrats She didn't want to hear any truths/facts When asked what was offered by Republicans to improve our lives She couldn't answer and told me I'll vote for who I want. So much for having a conversation
Very difficult times for sure! The voters supporting people like Walker, Ron Johnson, Rubio as examples. Let Americans see what it is like to live in a noñ-democratic country Onçe your liberty is taken hard to regain if impossible. Voter intimation and still the voters vote for Republicans ??? Hope Trump is held accountable very soon my hope
Perhaps they are so fearful filled with anger and lacking in facts believing one messagener hopefully history won't repeat itself Yes in a way iagree with you they don't want to be responsible adults They want to believe in one voice or director whose immature himself He calls people names self-esteem is poor bullies needs to feel important and powerful. I wonder how many people he has the goods on
I might, but the parking lot was crowded. If not I will vote early on Election Day to keep the Repubs in suspense :)
BTW- was really bummed with Bill Maher's confident prediction that Repubs will win and our democracy is definitely ending by Jan 2025. If that is the case, than it's a foregone conclusion so what's the point? If he is right, what does he plan to do when authoritarianism takes hold and what will happen to us? What will our lives be like?
Admittedly, I hear something different every day. If you saw my daily emails, you would think every Democrat is losing and just needs my donation to push them over the top. Then, you hear during evening news/opinion shows that some of the Democrats have pulled ahead. I don't know who to believe. Once I mailed in my ballot, I felt that was the best I could do.
Biden will veto any really noxious legislation. Most likely, nothing particularly good or bad will happen. Congress won't be able to override his veto. The action really starts to take place after Jan. 20, 2025. That election the Dems must win, or it's all over for the country.
The republic will not end if the Republicans win. But DJT's past performance was certainly a clear and present danger to the republic. It is difficult to swallow, but a one-party nation is not a democracy. So we actually need another main party to keep the government effective. Just hope the other main party choses a candidate that can eventually work across the aisle and represent all Americans, like a President should. A President outlawing the opposing party as a threat to democracy may not be a good idea. It sounds very much like what happens in some countries in South America, that never ends well...
Understanding how to message is as important as the message especially in today's climate Obama he's really connecting with the voters The Republicans have not one proposal to improve our lives The wealthy are thriving Has prices rising democratics need to m point out the companies are.making mucjo Dinero while we struggle to buy gas with amts earned by these companies. The wealthy don't want to lose their power Supporters of trump/Republicans willing to give their liberties and trust when offered nothing President Biden and democrats doing so.much and it's not realized by voters ?? Then you have predicting that Republicans will gain seats when you see intimidating and combat gear at polling sites Bill Marher very irresponsible Some ratings more important than the message given I saw on a show A parent was so desperate with a situation with his son that he felt the only solution was prison He had no resources and he was helpless .He son getting in serious trouble I feel a cry for help begging for help. The commentator said we'll keep in touch. I was wondering as we listened to this dad keep in touch to help or to hear the tragic events unfolding ! Are these the moments we live in using these events in our lives as Republicans using pain and fear and desensitized our lives Instead of bring Americans together and helping us unite. I put this out
Yes why predicting Republicans will win seats Puzzling why media suggests Trump might run in 2024 ? Don't they think he will be held accountable like others ? Scary as it says something a message the very suggestion Hopefully Trump will be held accountable As I see it too much time is passing as he's visible and allowed to continue to message exasibating our current situation the threat to our democracy He must be held accountable shortly as others have Danger in the air as his momentum grows
Thanks, I don't know why the news media is touting the same predictive nonsense that the Repubs are going to win and will act surprised when they claim any Democrat that wins cheated because their predictions were that the Repubs would win. Never mind their own reporting shows the partisan nature of the current pollsters. SMH
Yes we have laws that's a comfort republican candidates are touting they can accept elections if they win Trump announce he's running for president Look at Brazil. the narrative here as to intent clear comforting they can't engage military holding onto our democracy. People vote democratic and for democracy not on oñe issue It's a comfort that all comments expressed here concerns in common
You betcha! My mail in was sent, received, signature validation, I will receive a text & email once it is counted! Gee in AZ - all of that precision! Dems gotta DEM!
I have my ballot ready. Going to deliver it to a box with my large diesel; hoping some election monitor is nearby. Maybe I can run over his or her toes. Laughing.
I voted a week ago by absentee ballot and dropped it in the drop box at Town Hall. There is no early voting in Connecticut and it is on the ballot here this time and I voted yes! Thank you Ari and did you vote yet?
I found out only yesterday that Missouri now allows early voting without an excuse, so I will be voting in the next day or two but haven't gotten there yet.
I mailed in my voting register 4 weeks ago. And my mind has not changed. The REPUBS are so disrespectful in every area of our life, whether we are women with no respect, or citizens with no opportunity to hear the truth, or without any help.....social security will go and medicare will be taken away from all the elderly. God Bless Uncle Joe. he has tried and tried to no avail to reach the anarchists who sit on our Senate floor, who are definitely republicans.
Here in OC California, my highest priority is to see Katie Porter reelected. Aside from that, I'll be looking at every race across the country to see how many candidates supporting the big lie will be defeated. Will we still have a democracy or a dystopian fascist state?
Hi Diva 😊 ii love Katie Porter too. We need more of her in Congress. We're in the final stretch now. Let's keep getting the word out till Nov 8th. Vote Blue, no matter who!!!🙏💙💙💙💙🙏
😂Love your rhyme! How are you, V? Haven’t watched anything all weekend. Republicans are putting out too much fluff, for an upper hand. Can’t let them work my ONE nerve. I’ll tune back in 3pm, west coast time, Tuesday. Will talk then. 💙
I love Katie Porter! I see her on Lawrence O'Donnell and especially like her latest data drop showing how companies are making huge profits over and above what they need to recover from pandemic and using 'inflation' as an excuse to charge higher prices.
I voter early yesterday in NY. Vote blue in 22 to save democracy!
Please enjoy my personal thank you (1min 40 seconds of Jan 6th/donldtrump summary/ryhme set against the start of "Hail to the Chief") to strong Republicans everywhere. It is only because of them that democracy presently has a chance.
The "wrong direction" poll question should be eliminated. When I say the country is going in the wrong direction, it's certainly not because of what Biden and the Dems are doing. It's because of the Supreme Court, the Big Lie, the gun problem, the increasing hate and racism, the media's tendency to false equivalence and both-sidesism, etc. etc.
I’ve never liked this question, Dan, for the reasons you outlined. However, the reader or the poll taker assumes it’s due to Biden’s (or whoever is in office) policies, opposed to all the BS you listed above.
I am tempted to just watch movies all day long on November 8. When I wake up on November 9, I will be surprised. I'll know then if my military career is something to be proud of or if my loyalty to democracy and western values was really worth it. My life as a soldier and as a federal employee will have been a delusion if the Republicans take over the Senate. My confidence in the righteousness of my country will be bolstered if the Democrats gain in the Senate. November 8 is much more to me than just another election, it is a validation (or not) of my service to this country.
Please enjoy my personal thank you (1min 40 seconds of Jan 6th/donldtrump summary/ryhme set against the start of "Hail to the Chief") to strong Republicans everywhere. It is only because of them that democracy presently has a chance.
I hope so but I just hate basically all the media constantly saying it's razor thin and making it seem as if Democrats are losing the messaging war. The media keeps focusing on it's all about inflation and gas and crime and not about what the Republicans are actually saying they will do to strip and roll back our rights and rule as authoritarians continuing to make the rich richer and the hatred and division from the right wing extremist groups will be encouraged
Patricia, you are so right! Everything I see re: Pelosi’s attempted murder, is about defending his honor versus connecting it to crime--Republicans’ thunder! Yes, correct the facts, but move on to try to win the races. The Republican focus is crime, then let’s talk about crime, to include Pelosi, J6, their votes on gun control, their weapon patrols of drop boxes, etc. Our messaging is quite lacking! The same for the Economy. Former President Obama showed them how to campaign, over the weekend and nobody has picked up the mantle.
You are on point so true I am in agreement with every written word my friend .ps take note of the early voter turnout it's history and that is why I have this strong feelings it's going in the democrats favour let's keep our fingers cross
Thanks Lori pray and vote bring your friends family coworkers and remember the church is very powerful bring those members and vote also your neighbours have a good week lori
Out here in Utah I’m holding my breath for Evan McMullin to oust Mike Lee. Hoping for Beto in TX, hoping for Stacey in GA, and hoping for anyone but Sarah Palin and for MTG to just resign 😂😂
I vote by mail and did so last Tuesday. I am currently disabled and had my care-giver drive my ballot to the post office and hand it to a postal employee.
Please enjoy my personal thank you (1min 40 seconds of Jan 6th/donldtrump summary/ryhme set against the start of "Hail to the Chief") to strong Republicans everywhere. It is only because of them that democracy presently has a chance.
On election night, I’m watching OH, WI, and NC senate races. Democratic chances are great. I’ve moved away from the ya-ya, too confusing and I’m wary of many polls.
Ari, I’d love to see you in L.A., San Diego, or anywhere betwixt the two!
Hi SandraR! We, and the media, are good at playing into Republican hands; picking up their mantras and making them viable. If I hear another Democrat say “owning the libs,” I’m pulling out my hair! They say this garbage and make violent ads, counting on MSNBC and CNN to infiltrate our airwaves with it. Keeps me changing channels. Enjoy your week!
Ari I need to remark about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. He went to school on Affirmative Action. But he doesn't want it for others. This needs to be brought out. He needs to recuse himself for having an opinion.
I also want to say, Justice Thomas is he__ bent on our rights to be taken away, what is going to happen to him when he agrees to do away with inter-racial marriages? With that been said, his wife is a menace and should NOT have any political influence or rights.
Please enjoy my personal thank you (1min 40 seconds of Jan 6th/donldtrump summary/ryhme set against the start of "Hail to the Chief") to strong Republicans everywhere. It is only because of them that democracy presently has a chance.
As far as I'm concerned, democracy is *always* on the ballot. As the great Cyndi Lauper said in your interview with her, "We're Americans. We're supposed to be involved [politically]." Racism, fear, voter suppression etc. in elections are not new; yet, "we" (certainly not Blacks folks) sometimes act surprised, with the oft-heard "This is not who were are" refrain. 🙄
On election night and the days thereafter, I'll be more interested in results. And yes, I try to avoid the hyperbole and hyperventilating around polling of some political pundits and "journalists." As you indicated, those who operate at the margins of society are hurt the most when any kind.of major economic shift occurs. They are not interested in polls; I feel they're gonna "vote their stomachs," as that is *the* basic human need for survival.🍞👩🏽🍳

Hello Ari and everyone, Happy Tuesday and I hope that everyone is having a good day 😃
I don’t know what to think in terms who will be taking over the House and Senate... I will watch Steve Kornacki’s analysis on the election (as Fab 5 Freddy would describe Steve Kornacki, “ Grand Master Math”).
The main thing right now is for lots of people to vote 🗳
What are you watching for on Election Night? I am hoping that Democrats will remain the majority. I am so afraid of what the fascists far right wingers will do to this country if they take over.
A city or venue I will like you to visit in the future: any city in the NJ/NY/CT tri-state area or even Philadelphia PA is ok with me 😃
Reminder: for those of us that have not voted, please make sure to vote 🗳
And one more thing: I got an email from Amazon stating that I will receive a copy of your book between December 2nd and 5th…yay! So excited 😆
Hello, Ms O! Got that notification, too. Can’t wait to read. Just heard Ari’s guest say the young voters are waiting until Election Day. I cringed! These MAGA folks are salivating to hinder everything they can, in certain areas. Here’s praying for SOME miracles. Happy Tuesday! Happy Week!❤️

Can't we all sue trump for the mental anguish and anxiety he causes by the big lie. It keeps me up at night. Or Maybe all the election workers who have been threatened and harassed
Hi Ari. I’m new to your network and really enjoy your show. It is less sensational than coverage on other networks and I appreciate the legal aspect. Plus, your positive outlook really helps in these times. Love your Maverick series! So on Election Day and night, I’m looking for just the facts, as they come through. I like historical context, but hate the programming that uses scare tactics for viewers. It’s counterproductive and condescending. You keep it real and it’s truly appreciated!!
Thank you for your honest reporting, Ari. I switched from a network that always seemed reliable, but has been so over-the-top with sensationalism lately. I’m sure you can guess the network. Keep up the straight reporting. I think the election results show that’s what the people want. You’re the best!
I hope and pray for democracy and Truth to win out! I will be watching election results while holding my breath! Arizona's going to be a tough one to call on time because of so many people having to quit because of threats--it's going to be a rough ride

Hi everyone -- will reply to some comments below...
has anyone voted early yet?!...
HIya! Planning on voting early tomorrow. I want to save Tuesday for stress eating chocolate cake in my free time 🙄🍩
Chocolate cake is a *must have* during these times! lol
#ENDORSE lol
Lots of chocolate
I am ok with chocolate😃
I received my Kansas mail-in ballot last Saturday and had it delivered to the post office on Tuesday. I had my care-giver take it and hand it to the postal worker in the post office.

I’m voting tomorrow
Definitely voted early here in Ohio!
I am Democrat proud!
I am scared
We can't lose our precious democracy
I feel surrounded by the far right extremists
I believe in President Biden
Thank goodness he is our President during these times
Also, I listened to all of the 5 podcasts of Rachel's "ULTRA"
And so, we are there again
Democrats have got to succeed
Also, I watch MSNBC and you all the time
I voted first hour of the first day of early voting. 🤞
Yes I voted early and tracked my ballot😃 It says, “Ballot Received”
Hi Ari!! 🖐 We voted last Tuesday. We went in about an hour before closing. We were done in 10 minutes. YAY!!!! 6 more days of whirlwind ads and worrisome thoughts. Thank you for getting us through all the craziness. Your show is a breath of fresh air everyday. 😊

Hope Trump is held accountable very soon my hope
Agree 100% with copping skills adult learned or not learned

yes- if all the Dems vote we will win- at least the Senate. It really is about voter turn out- vote now while it still counts.
Biden will veto any really noxious legislation. Most likely, nothing particularly good or bad will happen. Congress won't be able to override his veto. The action really starts to take place after Jan. 20, 2025. That election the Dems must win, or it's all over for the country.
Yes- but it will be a lot harder then if election deniers especially for Secy of State and Election Officials get in power now.

The other side will always complain. Just go by the law communicate and vote.

Great question!!
You betcha! My mail in was sent, received, signature validation, I will receive a text & email once it is counted! Gee in AZ - all of that precision! Dems gotta DEM!
I voted Oct 5th and mailed it in the same day.
Yes.
I have my ballot ready. Going to deliver it to a box with my large diesel; hoping some election monitor is nearby. Maybe I can run over his or her toes. Laughing.

I like getting up super early "day of" to vote. Fresh air and a bit of excitement before coffee. lol
I found out only yesterday that Missouri now allows early voting without an excuse, so I will be voting in the next day or two but haven't gotten there yet.
I mailed in my voting register 4 weeks ago. And my mind has not changed. The REPUBS are so disrespectful in every area of our life, whether we are women with no respect, or citizens with no opportunity to hear the truth, or without any help.....social security will go and medicare will be taken away from all the elderly.

Here in OC California, my highest priority is to see Katie Porter reelected. Aside from that, I'll be looking at every race across the country to see how many candidates supporting the big lie will be defeated. Will we still have a democracy or a dystopian fascist state?
A big question there..
Hi Jeannie, I’m south of you, and although not my representative, am a Katie Porter supporter.
Hi Diva 😊 ii love Katie Porter too. We need more of her in Congress. We're in the final stretch now. Let's keep getting the word out till Nov 8th. Vote Blue, no matter who!!!🙏💙💙💙💙🙏

I'm in Kansas City, but I hope for Katie Porter to be re-elected, as well. She's one of the candidates to whose campaign I give donations.

Please enjoy my personal thank you (1min 40 seconds of Jan 6th/donldtrump summary/ryhme set against the start of "Hail to the Chief") to strong Republicans everywhere. It is only because of them that democracy presently has a chance.
I will never pay attention to the polls...2016 was an eye opener
😂😂😂😂😂You got it!
It sure was, my namesake! ☺️💙
Hello Ari and everyone, Happy Tuesday and I hope that everyone is having a good day 😃
I don’t know what to think in terms who will be taking over the House and Senate... I will watch Steve Kornacki’s analysis on the election (as Fab 5 Freddy would describe Steve Kornacki, “ Grand Master Math”).
The main thing right now is for lots of people to vote 🗳
What are you watching for on Election Night? I am hoping that Democrats will remain the majority. I am so afraid of what the fascists far right wingers will do to this country if they take over.
A city or venue I will like you to visit in the future: any city in the NJ/NY/CT tri-state area or even Philadelphia PA is ok with me 😃
Reminder: for those of us that have not voted, please make sure to vote 🗳
And one more thing: I got an email from Amazon stating that I will receive a copy of your book between December 2nd and 5th…yay! So excited 😆
Cheers😃🥂
Hello, Ms O! Got that notification, too. Can’t wait to read. Just heard Ari’s guest say the young voters are waiting until Election Day. I cringed! These MAGA folks are salivating to hinder everything they can, in certain areas. Here’s praying for SOME miracles. Happy Tuesday! Happy Week!❤️
Hi Olddiva, those young voters better vote... they need to make their voices heard or else they cannot complain if these MAGA Republicans take over.
Hello Sandra,
You are so correct: "The main thing right now is for lots of people to vote." #votebluenomatterwho

Don't understate the power of the abortion issue. Many Republican women share the opinion of
Democrats who support Roe v Wade and want it restored.

Can't we all sue trump for the mental anguish and anxiety he causes by the big lie. It keeps me up at night. Or Maybe all the election workers who have been threatened and harassed
Hi Ari. I’m new to your network and really enjoy your show. It is less sensational than coverage on other networks and I appreciate the legal aspect. Plus, your positive outlook really helps in these times. Love your Maverick series! So on Election Day and night, I’m looking for just the facts, as they come through. I like historical context, but hate the programming that uses scare tactics for viewers. It’s counterproductive and condescending. You keep it real and it’s truly appreciated!!
Facts are good!
Appreciate that about Mavericks, it's def extra work and a different approach so I'm glad to hear you like the series, Caroline!
Thank you for your honest reporting, Ari. I switched from a network that always seemed reliable, but has been so over-the-top with sensationalism lately. I’m sure you can guess the network. Keep up the straight reporting. I think the election results show that’s what the people want. You’re the best!
I hope and pray for democracy and Truth to win out! I will be watching election results while holding my breath! Arizona's going to be a tough one to call on time because of so many people having to quit because of threats--it's going to be a rough ride
