@NotAZoomedImage According to The Internet this is somehow optimizing packages. If this screenshot is from an Android device, maybe this happens only on the first time it is launched?
Some say, and it's probably true, that hte EC was because slaveholding states wanted the slaves to count toward electing the president without giving blacks the right to vote.
Yes; there seems to be less rules about the vote than we have here. It's a law here that says that employers need to allow 4 hours for people to vote, where in the US, there is no such thing.. "can't go vote cuz' I need to work".
@Tyyppi_77 Yes
probably.
I don't know how much 3.5 M votes represent in that specific election.
And I don't know what is the actual percentage of citizen that is allowed to vote.

120 something million votes cast, so that's about 3% which is like already kind of significant
@dot_Sp0T Supposedly to balance those. The reasons I've heard are that, also someone voting in florida wouldn't know the people running for office so they'd vote for electors they trusted to go to vote in washington for the pres, also that it shielded slave states from having to let blacks vote to get their population to count toward a share of electing the pres.
I'm most inclined to believe the slave one. The Senate already balances states with high and low populations
I haven't heard of those but masks here are a fairly new thing, only like a month ago recommended for public transport and this week recommended for all public indoors
Wallace: Will you urge your supporters to stay calm during this extended period, not to engage in any civil unrest? And will you pledge tonight that you will not declare victory until the election has been independently certified? President Trump, you go first.
Trump: I'm urging my supporters to go into the polls and watch very carefully. Because that's what has to happen. I am urging them to do it. As you know, today, there was a big problem. In Philadelphia they went in to watch. They were called poll watchers -- a very safe, very nice thing. They were thrown out. They weren't allowed to…
that's pretty much all you need to know from the debate.
He's preparing his followers to insurrection if he loses. He's also not committing to conceding if he loses.
No joke, this could be the end of uninterrupted peaceful transfers of power.
Partially. And partially they have a legitimate interest. There are rules about what products can go in and out of the EU and border checks that enforce the rules. Having mercy would mean allowing wares to enter the UK and then Northern Ireland and the EU market unchecked. That would be kinda bad for the EU, depending on how much gets through that way.
I saw a question on SE somewhere about why the EU is so hard on the UK and so lax with with for example Canada. The answer is that Canada is unable to flood the EU market because shipping takes 3 months or so. The UK doesn't have that delay.
There probably were many more details I forgot about.
Also the time Trump asked Merkel 12 times for a trade deal :D
