I went to early vote today in my red county in Tennessee. The lady there told me there had been a record turnout so far (day 2). Enthusiasm for Trump, I took that to mean.

Early voting started here in Knoxville, TN yesterday. The local news stations are reporting 9200 turned out yesterday, 10,000 today. (Population 183,000 with five early voting locations).

We voted this morning. We got there just as the polls were opening and the parking lot was full. The line was long, but moved quickly. They were well prepared for the onslaught. We were in and out in 30 minutes.

A local TV station reporting on turnout totally slanted it. They interviewed one woman who was voting for Hillary. They concluded that the crowds were big because people are sick of this election and just want to get it behind them.

The TV news is ridiculous, no? They think they'll get cooties if they even try to speak to Trump supporters. So they get the Hillary side and--job done!
People are early voting because they can't wait to drain the swamp.

Why draw attention to all the fraud that is going on for Hillary.

Ok, thanks.
Suppose if your area is historically conservative, folks mightn't feel the need to be so assertive about their support.

Absentee voting in Florida is already well under way. About 2 million ballots were mailed out. According to the statistics it almost dead even between R and D registered voters.

“According to the statistics it almost dead even between R and D registered voters.”

That’s because they can’t use it against Trump. The other reason, of course, is because nobody knows the results.

We are a nice red county in a nice red state. That’s why we’re here after fleeing SoCal last year.

I thought we might see more red shirts, but we also didn’t see any Hillary bumper stickers.

This State has a 100% mail-in ballot for the first time ever in a national election. We can also drop off the ballots to a lock box at various Government offices.

Ballots have already been mailed out. I returned mine to an unattended county lockbox today. Supposedly the county clerk officials will verify signatures on the outer envelope. The inner security envelope containing the ballot does not contain any trace backs to the outer envelope.

There is really no way to know who is voting the ballots.

I’ve always voted on election day, but I’m considering early voting this year.

Sounds like a major recipe for fraud.

I’ll wait for election day, I have a nice bright red jacket already picked out. If it’s not cold I have a red shirt too...

Haven’t heard much about early voting today at all, not a word as far as I know. Must mean the Donald is doing pretty well.
