Voted his morning in Clinton township. Got to the polls at 6:55 and took exactly 1 hour to get finished voting. Long line in Macomb County.
You are confident that Trump will carry MI?
I pray you’re right. Thx for the report!
I work the event last night. more impressive than the sheer number of people was when the county mounted police were trotting up and down the line all of the folks were clapping and cheering the police for their work. I was humbled. what a group of people.
Go for it! If Trump wins Michigan, he has an excellent chance of becoming President. Praying for you.
This is a news forum. But I sure am seeing a lot of vanity posts lately.
You know our readers generally frown on vanities (unless exceptional in quality) so if you feel the urge to post yet another run of the mill vanity, please resist it.
Or, in the very least, be sure to submit a donation along with your vanity submission.
Thank you very much.

What's good for the Michigoose is good for the Michigander.
Go for it, Michigan!
Voted in central Grand Rapids.
Took about 30 minutes in line because the ballot is so long, and no one really knows who have of the people even are.
Drain Commissioner? Dont we have job interviews for that?
A few people in line with some red on.
No one used the one e-voting machine. It was all fill in the circle with a PEN.
Dont know what number I was, as the feed machine was broken. So it goes into a slot underneath. Weird.
It’s a small lefty precinct, full of hipsters and NPR types, and the Dem HQ is a street over, so I can’t really read anything into it.
Port Huron. I usually get there about 7:15 AM and have a ballot numbered in the 20’s. Today at 7:15 I was #354. Busiest I have seen it in my 30 years here. Liberal area, yet those who I spoke with are tired of liberals.
We voted absentee before leaving the country. Watching and praying.
North of GR...feel Michigan is going for Trump. Strongly. The local Republican headquarters told me yesterday they have had democrats coming in and telling them they are voting Trump, but not telling anyone. I think we will see a lot of that.
Checking in from Frederic where hubby and I both voted Trump!
Hope with Mom BUMP!
I just finished voting in Berkley. It took me exactly 40 minutes. One of the guys that was working the election said it was their biggest turnout in a long time, so far (poll was only open an hour). Anyway, they check ID and signature. The ballots are fill-in-the-circle. Then we feed the ballot into a tallying machine. These are the same machines they’ve had for at twenty years, so I’m sure they don’t belong to Soros. As you feed your ballot you can also watch to make sure the counter increments. I was number 267.
I also noticed that, on the ballot, Republicans were listed first in every category. Berkley, apparently, has more *registered* Democrats that registered Republicans. But it is close and party registration is not necessary. I am not registered to any party. So the party registration numbers may be meaningless.
Keep the reports coming in!
Reports of long lines/crowds coming from everywhere...wonder what percentage of these are citizens who have NEVER voted before? I am aware of some here in East Tennessee...
Small mid-Michigan city.
Arrived 9:30,Five or so minutes in line, 10 voting booths, all occupied. Ballot cast #216. Out @ 10:00.
Exit pollers did not attempt to talk to me even though I was the only one leaving at the time.
I was in line in Livingston county at 6:45. I was about number 50. The longest line I’ve ever been in at opening was about 7, and I came closer to 7:00 then. There were about 150 there before I left. It seems that some years we’ve not had that many all day.
Attempted to vote here in Jackson County first thing this morning when polls opened but the lines were much too long. I went off to work and just returned (took an extended lunch). Lines were still long but moving. I’ve voted at this precinct for 12 years and this is the busiest I’ve seen it. Jackson tends to favor Republicans but did vote for Obama in 2008 (I believe on a 53-47 margin). Lately it’s been about 51-49 in favor of the Republicans. A lot of people were wearing red. Multiple cars had Trump stickers. And the yard signs: I would say Trump signs have been outnumbering Clinton by about 5:1. That margin seemed to widen this morning as a lot of homes seemed to bring out their signs overnight. So a lot of hopeful signs here.
