Vanity - OH Voting Report
VMIVol00 | 11/8/2016 | VMIVol00

Posted on 11/08/2016 4:33:58 AM PST by vmivol00

I thought would share this. I live in Dayton, OH in a pretty solid GOP district. I have lived and voted here for a number of years. I have never seen such the number of people out to vote! Typically I have to wait about 10 min. This year I am in for a solid 45 to 50 min wait. People are parked all over the place, in the grass, everywhere!

I have to think this is a good thing for Trump.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Another state where one or two urban swamps dictate how the rest of the state lives.

Southern Maryland ...

Came to work an hour before polls open (7 AM) so I could finish work early, pick up my bride, and head to the local HS to vote around 4 PM. Polls close here at 8.

Though MD is probably a safe Dem state ... I pray that Maryland wakes up.

Yep, keeping an eye out for that, have my phone ready to go to tape such if it happens. There are still a fair number of Republicans here, I don't think they would try that stunt in this area as someone would notice, more likely down in Philly.

Low turnout in the inner Philly burbs would spell doom for Hillary.

Wake County NC (Knightdale - suburb of Raleigh). In line at 6:15. Fifty in front of me. When doors opened at 6:30 at least 100 behind me. When I finished the line was the length of the parking lot and turned down the street on the sidewalk.

I voted early at the BOE in Cleveland, Ohio, weeks ago. Downtown BOE, walked right in.

Go Trump!

SWMBO and I were at our polling place in Greenwich, Connecticut a few minutes before the doors opened this morning. Turn out was very heavy - more than I’ve ever seen at the same place we’ve been voting since the mid-1980s. The polling station was very efficiently run, and we had only a short wait.

I can’t tell who it helps. In addition to the usual suspects, there were more younger women and women generally than usual. May well be Hillary voters. CT will undoubtedly vote for Hillary (all the Democrats upstate who love the dole and public employees we in Greenwich pay for); not clear if she’ll carry Greenwich. Many of the ‘pubbies here are elite types, but I’ve heard a lot of the say privately they’re for Trump; a few for Hillary.

We’ve seen almost no signs this year, and people are not talking about the election or who they’re voting for.

Depends on whether D +7 is accurate.

MSM shilling for Hillary tell us relentlessly she’ll get more votes than Obama.

And they’re cherry-picking vote locations to substantiate their contention its over.

Don’t believe everything you see on TV today.

Longest line I’ve been in for voting (but most years I go at lunch). It was about 100 voters long plus a few very entertaining tiny non-voters. I waited in line for about 50 minutes. From the address book count in looked like 400-500 voted before me at my polling place which is a big turn out.

First in line at my polling place with 10 minutes till polls open and 30 people behind me and growing here in Florida panhandle”

The panhandle if very important for Trump the carry FL. Encourage friends and neighbors to no pay any attention to the reports of east coast exit polls which could be rigged in hellary’s favor to suppress the vote in central time zone of FL.....GO VOTE its YOUR vote.

Suburban Summit County OH. Maybe a smidge busier than usual, but no line. Wife and I were voters #54 and #55 in our precinct. Our voting location handles about 6 precincts total. I’d say our area is normally about 50/50 or 60/40 gop/commie split.

Only “snafu” I saw was a woman tried to submit her ballot in the wrong precinct counting machine. Each machine also has a little strong-box next to it where you tear off the bottom of your ballot and slip it into the box. The voting machine rejected her ballot but she already put her slip in the wrong box. So she ended up scanning her ballot in the correct machine with the receipt of her ballot submitted in a different precinct. At least I think that’s what happened based on what I was overhearing.

I can see the polls from my front yard and there seems to be a steady stream of cars coming and going. I went there at 7:00 and there were at least 150 people there already. It took me about 30 minutes to go through. I do live in a strong Republican district. Been voting there 30 years and never have seen it like that. I think the American people are going to voice their opinion on the way the country has been shamed the past 8 years.

Moved from Centerville in May. I worked THE key Kettering precinct in 2004 when Rove had a turnout predictor. When I finished flushing the poll at 4:00 I knew we won cause ALREADY 90% of R voters had voted.

I might add, I live in York County in Pennsylvania. It is a strong GOP area

It is not enough just to DRAIN THE SWAMP, you must backfill it so that it doesn’t fill up again!.................

Just voted in ruby red Avery County in Western No. Carolina. 15 minute wait when I have never waited before. The demographic was elderly, white folks wearing farm overalls.
