Early voting has begun in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, perhaps some other states. Several people have reported long lines in north Georgia, West Georgia, South Georgia in certain places in Tennessee. Today I heard from a friend about long lines in eastern North Carolina, where early voting began, I believe, yesterday. Generally speaking, I take long lines as a good sign, particularly when they occur in small-towns and rural areas. Let me know what you are seeing.
Already voted straight ticket Republican two weeks ago in Missouri!
I can’t understand why there’s lines during early voting. I don’t even have to wait in a line on election day.
Long lines? Or are you talking about mail ballots?
I take it as a sign of enthusiasm, i.e. Trump voters.
Two ballots for Trump heading for the county clerk’s office tomorrow here in Washington State.
October 24 here.
A good sign maybe with some added Democrat voter fraud.
I am in Georgia and received an election day polling location form in the mail that says I have to go to one location to vote on November 8th. At that location I will be required to show my ID. However it also says I can go to one of 24 locations for early voting. Maybe I am ignorant of early voting processes but what’s to stop someone from going from location to location to vote multiple times? Do they record people’s ID’s and enter them into a system for tracking purposes?
Here, in Ct., you MUST show proof/ID and they check your name and address off in the registration book, BEFORE they allow you to vote. I know that in other states, this is not the case; sadly.
Early voting began in NC today. My husband said there was a long line waiting to vote when he went to the library this morning to pick up a book.
I voted yesterday. They do take ID and enter everything into a computer when you walk in. I would expect these computers are tied to a single database so that if you go to another location, your name will pop up as already having voted. Then, you go into a separate room to vote. In my area, Savannah, I believe there are only three early voting locations. It is different on election day itself, when all they do is check off your name on a list of voters for that precinct. That list is generated for them after the early voting stops a few days before hand . If you voted early, the list will show that. I think that is the way the system works, and, if so, I don’t have any problem with it. The only thing I don’t like about our voting, here, is that we use Diebold machines and there is no paper trail.
So, that is three reports of long lines in North Carolina that I have heard.
When the Democrat dead vote, is it the more recently deceased that are active in early voting or the legacies?
Probably the more recently deceased. Nobody knows about them yet.
Did you notice the position of her fingers in that photo? According to Dr. Ted Noel, Parkinsons sufferers are unaware when that happens. Anyways, are you a fan of the actor Jeff Chandler?
Washington State has all mail voting. I got my ballot, and voted, today. Unfortunately, I am under no illusions about who will win here. Seattle is crazily left wing.
Ms tngop and I went about 10 am on Wednesday to vote. We are just north of Memphis. We were about 10th in line, and by the time we voted there were 15-20 lined up. I asked one worker if it had been busy, and he said it was so busy he hadn’t been able to finish his coffee.
ID’s were checked thoroughly, including address, and signatures were matched. No voter fraud here.
One older gentleman, a veteran, commented that he had been waiting for years to cast this vote (against Hillary). I assured him that the feeling was mutual. Everyone seemed excited to vote. This is a conservative area, so my take was that we were among friends.
We had one first time voter, a woman of asian descent, and we all gave her a round of applause. She was surprised but seemed impressed by our response.
All in all, a great experience. We enjoyed it so much that we’re going to vote a few more times! (Fat chance of that here)
The last several times I’ve voted early here in Texas.
They no longer ask to see the voter regis. card if you have a driver license with photo. The VR and DL data bases are linked. They then find your name on the printed VR listing and have you sign your name on it. You are then given a numeric code to input to the voting machine that is a trail back to your documentation that proves you’ve voted.
I voted yesterday in an Atlanta exurban Republican county just before closing. Four people there including myself.
Quickest I have ever voted. Trump, Hice, and whoever the Libertarian senate candidate is. My Senator who stated he will have no problem working with Hillary lost my vote.
