In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Today is election Day Today in: ♦ Pennsylvania ♦ Rhode Island ♦ Maryland ♦ Delaware and ♦ Connecticut.

If you are voting today in the Northeast perhaps you can share a ground report on what’s going on in/around your community, town or polling location.

Today is another critical day of voting for the rebel alliance. The most important thing to do is to have your voice counted. SO, GO VOTE:

Remember, every vote counts especially in primary races. Not only are we trying to win the top-line overall vote, but the percentage of vote matters for delegate distribution. Don’t take anything for granted. Complacency and apathy are dangerous.  Ask your neighbors, friends and co-workers.  Carpool and spread the word – EVERY VOTE COUNTS !

After voting, if you have a few minutes please share your perspective on events around your neighborhood. Ground reports are always the best gauge of voter sentiment.
