I’ve met a handful of Nigerian students from different parts of the country and they all spoke English as a first language. Also, the US is on there, we don’t have an official language either.

Watched this last night, kind of had Jesus Camp vibes

No Nigeria for English? Lagos is the largest English speaking city in the world.

I’d never heard of this, how do the banks make any money on the card, annual fees or something?

Galilean satellite Io mention

Yeah, maybe. Compare the list against a list of unlikely voters. Would be tricky to make sure no attempted double votes were cast. The theory is that these people were voted for, by mail? Or that an inside worker at the polls fed the votes into the machines? In the 2nd case maybe investigators could look at the times the “bullet ballot” votes were cast to see if there were irregularities indicating trouble, like them being clustered around certain times of day.

They had pledged to vote though, I would assume the vast majority of them would have done just that, so how are they “ghost voters?” I feel like I’m missing something here.

I wish Lemmy natively supported the tagging feature you mention but I’m otherwise pretty happy with the web interface. I generally keep app downloads to a minimum. Which app do you use, I hear people mention the tagging feature more and more lately.

Sure there will be lots of wars and famine but predicting human extinction as a result of climate change is a bit of a stretch. Even in a bad scenario where 99% of humanity dies off things could still turn back around, regrow and we try again for an advanced civilization in a couple millennia.

I mean I definitely do but it’s hard to imagine this is insider information considering the distance from the issue being reported on.

Ah yes, for all the most accurate and insightful news about the US election’s consequences I always turn to Pakistani news outlets.

Ringtones? On my calculator?

I mean laugh at your neighbors house on fire if you want but the embers are blowing everywhere.

Crassus approves.

Sure, Russian bots. But Hasbara likely played a significant role too.

Their tech team is on strike so theres that at least…

Found this Australian site that’s covering the election from over on MetaFilter, they’ve definitely got the best laid out map I’ve seen tonight.

Ah, the Ulililia diet

Are there any early polls that show numbers of previous Trump voters picking Harris this time or previous Clinton/Biden voters going for Trump?

Not voting for a candidate is not the only, nor the most effective way to push a party to change positions on an issue you care about.
