Hum de hum:

Voters encountered a growing number of obstacles as the day progressed, including a snow squall in Manchester, N.H., and problems with machines and voter check-in systems in cities such as Columbus, Ohio, and Philadelphia. But so far, the hiccups have been minor and resolved quickly, and election officials and voters for the most part described smooth proceedings.

Smooth sailing so far. In what should be a surprise to no one, Donald Trump’s “army” of poll watchers was just his usual hot air.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
