Wonder how many of them will vote at several polls today.
Upstate NY Ping.
Yup. I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes. In line now. This is nuts. Line out the back door. Parking lot overflowing.
Was heavy in my precinct in Louisville. And I was there when it opened...6AM.
Just voted in Delaware. I was the only voter in the place.
Same here. (Michigan) Never been like this in midterms. I do not recall waiting in line for presidential.
Wonder what it means...
Just got back from voting in a mostly red polling place in upstate NY. District has a competitive house seat. We went mid-morning to try to avoid the biggest crowds.
Very busy! Not much of a line - but lots of people milling around the room and in the ballot kiosks. Seemed to be as busy or more so than I recall in 2016.
My county set a record for early voting, and when I voted about two hours ago there as steady stream of people coming and going. I think Indiana will have a new US Senator.
That’s what I experienced early voting in Las Vegas on Friday. Had to wait a half hour in a long line out the door of the grocery store just to get to the check in table.
My area is a more conservative, two parents and kids area of the city.
I voted on a saturday, was in line at 6:30 and the line doubled by 7am. Don’t know when the line started.
That was Texas.
ATTENTION all Freepers: OK, this happens every election year. Someone posts a “here’s how my precinct is turning out” post. Thank you. But it does us election junkies no good if the replies/responses do not give specific information. For example: “We had a big line in eastern Ohio today.” Does NOTHING. “There was a large line in my precinct in Small City, Ohio. This is a very red precinct that voted 80/20 for Trump. Usually, there is no line. This morning, there were 85 people in line who were older, white, and did not smell of weed.” Gives us junkies useful information. So please, post away. But give us specific information—good OR bad!!! Thanks.
I voted in my suburban district in Tidewater Virginia (York County) around 8:30; polls opened at 6:00 am and I was voter #520, if I recall correctly. Line was out the door at the polling place—not as long as 2016, but close. Parking lot was full, and cars parked along the roadside for about 1/8 of a mile.
My area is solidly Republican. Good sign for the incumbent GOP Congressman, Scott Taylor
I live in North Jersey and haven’t been to the polls yet. Will go about 7:00 tonight. Hoping for big turnout. My town is very conservative especially for NJ. We have a gun range and gun club. The town puts up a manger at Christmas - on municipal property in the center of town. Trump town.
trying to anticipate election results based on the lines in one (or many, for that matter) polling place at one moment in time is guaranteed to end in disappointment.
guaranteed.
bttt
A lot of voters were in line here at my polling place GA/06. The wait was about 45 minutes,/and the line was only about 20% white male. There were only six machines, so that was a part of the delay. There was a disproportionate amount of black and college age voters in the line.
Most of all/ the solid red Trump voters I know voted early, which may be the reason for the lower than average for white males.
My fear is that Abrams is turning out the black vote.
You should’ve seen Brooklyn, NY Nov 2007.... now that, sadly, was the busiest I’ve ever seen.
Drove past my polling location this morning, and the parking lot was full at 7:10am. Very conservative area of Bama.
I’ve heard from a number of typically Republican precincts around Iowa. Unusually large numbers of people voting early compared to past off-years everywhere.
Totals may not be eye-popping by the end of the day, but a fabulous early start.
