Just got back. Turnout HEAVY for this time of day. Never seen it like this! Long line, people taking parking spots as soon as the next voter leaves. Heavy conservative area.
May G-d Help us!
I voted last Thursday at around 2:45pm at the city Library in Ormond Beach FL in Volusia County. Had to drive around a little to find a spot, and empty spots were filled almost as soon as they were emptied.
Inside , while standing in line to wait for my turn, the conversation between the ladies working the sign in was pretty funny from “Is it EVER gonna slow down?” to “I’ve never seen it like this!!”.
I almost got into it with the lady who finally did wait on me when she tried to ask for “additional” ID besides my DL AND Voter’s Registration Card.
Ouickly, with a very serious and very stern look starring straight into her eyes, I replied in my best and fairly loud (and have fooled friends with over the phone) “ghetto” dialect:
“Well if I knowed ya’ll was gonna axe me dat I needed dat, I wuda brung my light bill!!”
... with the “light bill” being previously the ONLY ID required and was easily accepted as voting ID in certain parts of the city of Daytona Beach voting area,( which is THIRTY EIGHT PERCENT BLACK ) so they would not be “disenfranchised”.
She immediately got the hint as the focus of pretty much the whole room (and ESPECIALLY her fellow workers on either side of her) QUICKLY turned to HER and me.
Redfaced, she suddenly returned my ID and let me sign my name. By how uppity she acted, and knowing I was a registered Republican, I can bet you ANYTHING from her actions that she was a dem and it felt great to embarsss her.
I voted and my ballot went into the reader with out a problem. The counter on the machine, which had been in use since Monday, read 4883.
Same here! I just drove past 3 precincts and one had a lot of cars and the other 2 were packed! In the pouring down rain! I'm headed to my precinct in just a few minutes as a "Pouring Down Rain Voter."
