Please post early voting observations/data from your area of the country. These reports assist our election research Freepers in gathering up information to research and report. When posting your report, please:
1) Be VERY detailed with your report. State, county, city.
2) Is your precinct a red, blue or purple area? Did you notice anything different than in 2016?
3) Who is showing up? Race, age, cis-gender? /s
4) How long was the line? Anything out of the ordinary?
What is your area of interest?
My life and the life of my wife are in danger now from Leftists. I could never put on a Trump hat or place a Trump sticker or sign near me. Deadly serious.
Exactly how tolerant are the Leftist BLM and Antifa scum going to be after Nov. 3rd? Either way.
In my youth I had a non-acceptable, non-leftist bumper stick on my parked car as I went to my political science classes at Wayne State University in Detroit. Came back to find the engine badly sabotaged with cut wires and missing parts. Expensive lesson.
Early voting starts tomorrow in FL. I met with my coordinator from the Trump campaign yesterday to get my poll watcher credentials and packet for Seminole County. We have to wear sandwich board sized credentials any time we are in the voting room or the no electioneering boundaries. EVERYONE must wear the same style. No “voting rights attorney” badges will be allowed.
The Trump campaign has assigned attorneys to us who are members of the Florida bar in case we have issues. Biteme’s campaign has a much more haphazard process of recruiting and assigning legal help to the field.
Broward was very loosey goosey with rules inside the polling place. This is my first year in Seminole. My early voting site is smack dab in the middle of Karenville so if this thread is running tomorrow I will let you know how it went.
California going RED
And you are doing the smart thing.
Dying over a bumper sticker or a pin or a sign ain’t worth it.
Your family loses you, you don’t get to vote, and if, God forbid, a real war breaks out, we lose good people for no reason before it starts.
Like that poor guy from last week or the week before. And now his son has no father. His wife, no husband.
I’m not a coward.
But I won’t be careless with my life.
That helps no one.
I live in a Very Pro Trump area. People have all kinds of Trump stuff. But it’s Staten Island.
I wouldn’t use any of it in the other four boroughs, save maybe a few neighborhoods. And even then, the liberal neighborhoods are very close by
My son is a registered Democrat and voted absentee straight R.
Franklin Co. OHIO
I know he is a registered Dem because he get mail at our address.
Thanks.
I thought better of going to Harlem and gathering a crowd to preach to them “all lives matter.” And “Love your neighbor.”
Their tolerance level is about .0000000001 on a scale of 1-100 as it is. I leave that stuff to Mister Rogers Neighborhood re-runs.

In this early election residents can vote at any open location, not just their home precinct.
Days one and two we had a good number of Ds come through. That trailed off by end of week as the lines shortened, but never slowed.
Our location was forecast to process 1000 voters in 3 weeks and we broke 1000 by noon of second day of voting. Thursday was our highest number of voters.
All ages, from first time voters to seniors who needed help in the booth.
Nearly 10% of votes cast were people canceling or surrendering their absentee ballots for fear of their vote not being counted.
Our area is safe red, roughly 80% Trump.
Will advise how next week goes.
Got a general question. There is a list of judges on the ballot.I tried to determine their party affiliation. Almost impossible to get that information. Any ideas on how to get that information? (Simple google search didn’t help)
The local news media was there at the country courthouse, one of two locations for early voting. We often vote early and haven't seen lines as we saw on the first day of early voting.
There were at least 100 people ahead of us after we went through the metal detector and had our temperatures took - masks required, of course. Officers present were not enforcing social distancing.
I'm guessing there were as many Biden supporters as Trump supporters. Everyone was friendly and cordial with each other. An atmosphere of we're all in this together seemed to be present if you can imagine that.
We ended up waiting in line for about 40 minutes. One of the officers said the line wasn't as long as it had been. Earlier, they told us the line stretched outside of the building and around the corner. I'm guessing probably another third to half again as long as when we got there around noon.
Some never vote (ones not registered). I believe those numbers will remain pretty much the same, but for those registered, I think this election will set record numbers voting.

Great report from north Georgia. Hall County went 74/23 Trump/Clinton in 2016 and will probably cast 75,000 ballots. Best part of your report was that 10% of voters were bringing in their mail ballots and surrendering them. This is the type of information that helps. Thanks.
That makeup would shift the polls dramatically as usually there is a decent dem advantage in polling D+7 or 8 I’ve seen
One glitch: when I presented ID and tried to check in, the poll worker made me sign an affidavit promising that I would destroy a mail-in absentee ballot I had requested. Of course, I never requested such a ballot, nor had I received one, and it is illegal in GA to send out ballots unrequested.
When I contacted Fulton County elections about the issue later that day, I got a big runaround . . . until finally an official assured me there was no record on file of my having requested a ballot at all. "Just a mistake on the poll worker's part." No, of course I don't believe that for 5 seconds.
Call the local GOP HQ or Dem HQ. If one of the parties is backing the judges, they will tell you. Also, look up the judges on their campaign websites. Who were they appointed by? Memberships. If they are Federalist Society members, you know they are good.
I live here and sadly must ask you who is your pot supplier, because it sadly isn’t happening
Thank you for starting this; been wondering myself.
Our early voting in TN started this past Wednesday and runs through Oct. 29. Hours in Montgomery County are 8-6 M-F and 8-4 on Saturday. I plan on going mid-week next week towards the end of the day; when I did that back during the primary I was the only one voting.
The first day of early voting in the county saw 3020 voters. First person in line arrived at 4 a.m.-four hours early.
