In 2010 the states got so gerrymandered they said we would never take the house again. Ever. So this is a big deal, plus 7 governorships who will hopefully adpot non-partisan district redrawing and motor voter registration, as well as paper ballots.

If people want to only see the bad parts of the election that's their business. But they're not going to ruin my good evening.

I don't want the republicans to win twice, once when they steal an election and a second time when people get discouraged.

The admins suspended new registrants for Election Night to prevent new trolls from infesting DU during this important evening.
