Just voted in Tarrant County. People were parking in the street and behind the building. The line was 30 deep outside.

I have been early voting at the same site for more than 20 years and have never seen this kind of turnout.

Any sense of who they might be supporting?

I doubt if there is much enthusiasm for Hillary. I think a lot of people realize this is a cross roads election for the country and will vote for Trump.

So, who is motivated to get out and early vote as soon as they can? Hillary supporters or Trump supporters? Let’s see.....

If it’s like my experience in Tennessee, you can tell who they’re voting for by noticing the little “drain the swamp” smirk on their face.

Same story here in Williamson County (just north of Austin). Lines out the door. Have never seen that before during early voting.

I doubt if these were enthusiastic Hillary supporters eager to cast their ballot.

I voted at 10:30 this morning, after the early morning voters and before the lunch rush. The line was out the door.

First time I have ever waited in line to vote in the morning on the first day of early voting.

This is why Trump will win. The voter turnout is not for the third term of Obama, it is for change with a political outsider in charge.

I can’t wait till the eighth to see those sorry Clintonites eat their hats.

In our little town, I was one of two people voting at 11:00 this morning. Kinda surprised.

But by the time I left there was a line out the door.

The radio is saying the Harris County is seeing about 10,000 voters per hour coming through the precincts. This is a record pace.

Reporting from Arlington (Tarrant Co. Texas) at the Pioneer Pkwy. early voting location. I arrived around 10:30 AM, and there were two voting lines with about 50 people each. Many more who entered turned around and left hoping for a smaller crowd later.

My impression of the voters was that it “looked” like about 70-75% Trump, with lots of older white people and some Junior Leaguer-types. There were three Hispanic and two black voters in line. Of the potential Hillary voters, most were old women with beehives who looked like they’ve voted Democrat their whole lives. But, I could be wrong.

Over all, I’ve never seen such a crowd for early voting, or election day voting for that matter. Ordinarily, I’d just walk in and vote. As I left, there were many vehicles driving around because parking spaces were at a premium. Thus, as lunch time approached I suspect that the turnout intensified even more.

I had planned to vote this morning, but my wife told me to wait until tomorrow to avoid some of the first day crowds.

CRITICAL: On Election Day, the media may even call the election early FOR TRUMP. The media will try to get WESTERN STATES TO STAY HOME AND NOT VOTE “because Trump already won.” But then, after all the polls have closed, they will announce, “Oops, sorry, we have unexpected late reporting form several precincts, and it looks like CLINTON WON after all.”

SO NO MATTER WHAT YOU HEAR BETWEEN NOW AND POLLS CLOSING, WE ALL MUST GET OUT THE VOTE FOR TRUMP.

Drive the elderly to the polls if you can. If you vote early, then you can volunteer to drive people who can’t drive themselves. Make phone calls. Get a list of 5 Trump voters, and call them all by noon on Election Day to be sure they voted. Have everyone you know make a list of 5 Trump voters, and do the same.... Get out the vote! :-)
