South Carolina voters Tuesday found malfunctioning machine changing their vote, reports WLTX.

Technicians in Richland County, South Carolina, were desperately restarting the voting machines to fix the problem.

According to WLTX, upwards of 30 technicians are working to fix the machines, after voters noticed that their votes were swapped out for the opposing party.

Other malfunctions, with cords and non-functioning outlets, also made voting difficult.

People with poll problems in South Carolina are instructed to call 803-576-2238. South Carolina polls are open until 7 PM. There are a number of key races at stake, including the race for governor, and the state House of Representatives.

"I'm Very Worried About Don Jr.": Forget the Midterms--West Wing Insiders Brace for the Mueller Storm

“I’m Very Worried About Don Jr.”: Forget the Midterms—West Wing Insiders Brace for the Mueller Storm
In the run-up to the election, Rudy Giuliani was made to shut up. But now, with Trump making excuses for possibly losing the House, officials are bracing for a legal assault.

by Gabriel Sherman


On Friday night, current and former staffers of Donald Trump’s West Wing gathered at Dina Powell’s Manhattan apartment to celebrate Hope Hicks’s 30th birthday. The party also served as a send off for Hicks, who’s moving to Los Angeles to run communications for Fox News’s parent company, “New Fox.” Over cupcakes and wine, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Anthony Scaramucci reminisced about old times with Hicks’s mom, Caye, and her older sister. One person not present was Hicks’s ex-boyfriend, Rob Porter, much to the relief of Hicks’s parents, a Hicks friend said.

The party provided a brief respite from the news cycle on the eve of the midterms in which Republicans are projected to lose the House of Representatives, and perhaps governorships in red states Georgia and Florida. “Everyone is resigned to the outcome,” a former West Wing official said. Sources said Trump has been privately working to absolve himself of any blame if indeed a blue wave washes over Washington. “He’s happy with his crowds and the turnout and the excitement. He’ll be able to say it would have been worse without him,” the former official said.

The bigger threat for Trump than losing control of Congress is Robert Mueller’s looming report. Sources say Trump advisers are girding themselves for Mueller to deliver the results of his investigation to the Justice Department as early as Wednesday, although it’s more likely he’ll wait till later this month. Sources say besides the president, the ones with the most exposure are Roger Stone and Donald Trump Jr. “I’m very worried about Don Jr.,” said another former West Wing official who testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee. The possible exposure would be that Mueller would demonstrate that Don Jr. perjured himself to investigators when he said he didn’t tell his father beforehand about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting to gather “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. (Donald Trump Jr.’s lawyer, Alan Futerfas, declined to comment.)


One potential sign of how seriously Trumpworld is treating the Mueller threat has been the near total silence of Rudy Giuliani. A constant presence on cable news over the summer, Giuliani hasn’t been on television in weeks. “What the hell happened to Rudy?” a former White House official said when I asked about Giuliani’s whereabouts. According to three sources briefed on Trump’s legal team, Giuliani has been in Europe visiting consulting clients as well as preparing a report with Trump lawyers Marty and Jane Raskin that is designed to provide a counter-narrative to Mueller’s document. “They don’t know what Mueller has but they have a good idea and they’re going to rebut it,” one Republican close to Giuliani said. But another source said Trump instructed Giuliani to stay off television to avoid hurting Trump’s midterm message. “Trump’s thinking is, ‘I gave you a lot of rope and now you got a lot of rope marks around your neck,’” the source said. (The White House did not respond to a request for comment.)

You can't shower here. I asked WHY? Because you are a Democrat..she replied..(my dream)


Over here in Poor Ville we have no tubs, only showers that have a one inch lip from the floor. My shower stopped draining Friday...I thought I could stick it out until Monday...but it is hard being dirty...so I decided last nite I would call the emergency # Sunday AM and go to the gym and shower LONG there and hopefully my shower would be fixed when I returned.

In 2006 a really shitty maintenance man (HUD) told us if we dared to call the emergency # we would be charged $90...that sticks in your head.

I have PTSD and nitemares are usual for me. Last nite I dreamed I was driving around looking for a gym where I could shower...In the distance I saw a grand facility, with tennis courts, swimming pool, etc...I parked and went inside and it had tuna sandwiches and boutiques....I told the lady I would work out for a bit and then shower. She said you can't shower here. I asked WHY? Because you are a Democrat..she replied..

You may remember in January I was left a phone message by an employee at my gym who had no authorization to do this...but he hates my activism and my DEM letters published monthly ..I mean he hates my guts..."Jody, you were heard saying something political and I am suspending you for 90 days."

Well, it turned out to be another small blonde lady who was the real "offender", but he so wanted it to be me...her offense was arguing with a FOX TV guy...about the channel...she didn't want to watch it....

See how my mind works when I should be sleeping !!! So, the rules that only applied to me since 2010(Gov Walker)...talking politics.... now apply to all the clients...effective Sept we cannot watch news channels there and if we are talking politics, the service desk attendant on duty is to tell us to stop..we are treated at 5AM to Paternity Court and Raymond reruns and sports...

In January when I came to DU for help, you guys were great...but one "well meaning" guy contacted national and reported this....next thing you know, my gym has my DU post and all the comments....VERY BAD for me....so DON'T anybody do this again, please !!

Gym is privately owned and we do not have first amendment rights....just sharing my shower story today and telling you that things are weird out there.

A president of the United States should never begin an official statement with "Rumor has it."


@realDonaldTrump
Rumor has it that Senator Joe Donnelly of Indiana is paying for Facebook ads for his so-called opponent on the libertarian ticket. Donnelly is trying to steal the election? Isn’t that what Russia did!?

Anand Giridharadas Retweeted Donald J. Trump

1. A president of the United States should never begin an official statement with “Rumor has it.” This isn’t a bus; we’re not Billy Bush.

2. You just admitted Russian meddling.
