Another reason to pray w/out ceasing.
You guys make a great point about these Never Trumper, wishy-washy Republicans. Like GA-6, I’m anxious to see returns in Maricopa County, AZ. Virtually the entire increase in early voting in Arizona is due to Maricopa County, which saw 100,000 more early votes than 2014. In 2012, Mariciopa voted for Romney by 11 or 12 points. In 2016, it went for Trump by 3 points. The question is: Is this 100k increase in early votes the result of Republicans coalescing or defecting? My guess is coalescing but we will see.
President Trump’s followers have better follow through than the Leftist Dimwits who told pollsters that they were 100% sure they would be voting.
We are in Henry County.
It’s going to be a good day!!
I made my official prediction to my family yesterday which I'll share. Republicans end up with 58 Senate seats, and Rs lose less than 10 seats in the House.
Our place only had one table today so it’s impossible to tell - usually the Dem table has about 1/3 the traffic as the Repub table.
Maricopa has seen large increases in both R and D voter registrations since 2016: R up 3.7% (gain of about 29,000), D up 7.9% (gain of about 39,000). Indies are up there too, but by less (about 15,000).
So if we go by differences in registration totals, it’s probably around 47% D, 35% R, 18% I for those new early voters. As with all EV, of course nobody yet knows how the actual votes went.
Another correction (I need to check my math today): Maricopa had more like a 49,000 increase in Rat registrations between 2016 and 20188, not 39,000.
As Maricopa goes so goes (probably) the state of Arizona as a whole, so it is important to focus on.
Reports indicate it was earlier but not showing rain now.
Voted this AM in Stafford County (CD 1). No lines. People coming and going looked like a Republican crowd - lots of pick-up trucks and SUVs. County is 55-45 R (less R than it used to be). CD 1 as a whole is heavily Republican (Southern Prince William Co. to Williamsburg including Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula) and incumbent (Republican Rob Wittman) is expected to win easily.
Near the ballpark?
In most states, Republicans have been leading in early voting, which is extremely unusual. Democrats always win early voting. That’s why they instituted it.
Another 9th District voter here.
Somewhat higher turnout, not super high though.
Dems outside the place, no Rs. Looks like no surprises here (though Corey could sure use one).
Remeber ol’ Rick Boucher? He’s a lobbyist for a firm owned by the Chinese Army now! A true Democrat LOL!
Corey will get every R vote. Clown Kaine might go down. it wouldn’t be the first time.
We are in VA-11 too, 110 Precinct. We got there about 9:15, no line either.
First call of the night based on precincts (not exits)- Morgan Griffith re-elected in #VA09.
BTW, this is the guy to follow for VA elections. Very accurate!

My parents said there was no line around 3PM too.
