It seems to me we should be expanding the time frame people can vote in person to avoid crowds. Maybe allow voters to go in and vote over a 2-3 week period.

Agreed that this is probably the best of a bunch of not so great options, given the time constraints. One concern would be how the exit polls from the first couple of days influence turnout...if your window to vote is in the later half of the window, do you bother to vote if the number crunchers project your guy to win/lose?

I'm not sure exit polling will be useful in such a situation. You need some sort of historical benchmark.

Lisa Boyne

Donald Trump's woes are continuing to mount as further sexual harassment claims have emerged, accusing him of looking up women's skirts in a restaurant in the 1990s.

Lisa Boyne, CEO of a health food company, claims that in the summer of 1996 she saw Trump make a series of women walk up and down a restaurant table so that he could announce whether they were wearing underwear.

'It was the most offensive scene I've ever been a part of,' Boyne told The Huffington Post Thursday. 'I wanted to get the heck out of there

According to Boyne, she and friend Sonja Tremont - better known today as Sonja Morgan of 'Real Housewives of New York' - had been invited to dinner in Manhattan with Trump and late modelling agent John Casablancas.

Boyne, then 25, and Morgan were taken to the meal in Trump's limo, and had to endure his tales of the women he'd bedded on their way to the restaurant - complete with ratings of how attractive he found them.

But the evening got even more upsetting, she said, when they arrived.

The trio met with Casablancas at the restaurant to find that he had brought along five or six models.

The group were packed into a semicircular table with one man at each end.

That meant the women could not get out of their seats without either Casablancas or Trump vacating their own. And they didn't, said Boyne.

Instead, any woman wanting to leave the table would have to get up and walk along it, at which point Trump 'stuck his head right underneath their skirts' to examine their underwear.

He would then comment on whether they were wearing anything - and if not, what he thought of their genitals, Boyne said.


Boyne, who was working for IBM at the time according to her LinkedIn page, says she was not there as a model and Trump made no passes at her - but did ask her to tell him which model he should sleep with.

Eventually, she says, she insisted the men allow her to stand. She says she called her roommate, who advised her to fake an illness and leave.

'I met lots of famous, influential wealthy people with Sonja, and none of them were ever as vulgar, as disgusting, as rude, as sexist (as Trump), such a low excuse for a human being that I've ever met,' Boyne said.

When asked why she waited until now to voice her story, Boyne said she had a 'flashback' while reading a May New York Times story about Trump's interactions with women.

And she claimed that she hoped joining the chorus of women speaking out against Trump this week would give the stories 'legitimacy.'

A Trump spokeswoman denied the whole story, telling The Huffington Post: 'Mr Trump never heard of this woman and would never do that.'

And while Morgan confirmed that the dinner did indeed take place - complete with Trump and Casablancas's models - she said she didn't recall Trump's alleged lechery.

'I don't remember any of that kind of behavior,' she told the Post. 'But I have been known to dance on tables.'

Boyne's roommate, Karen Beatrice, also said that while the meal did take place, she doesn't remember the phone call - and added that Boyne is 'a publicity seeker.'

She also said that when she met Trump on another occasion he was 'gracious and charming.
 
creepy joe up 1 in Florida. This is actually a good result for very poorly chosen one compared with other recent Florida polls.

The fact that Donald Trump sent 47 tweets and retweets today

and not a single one of them acknowledged the 100,000 Americans

we’ve lost to the coronavirus tells you pretty much everything you

need to know about him.
