Early voting in Western New York
Self | Jimjohn

Working the poles for early voting in Western New York. Niagara county. Lines out the door from when the polls open today. It has been non-stop and it continues.

It looks like an ordinary election day.

I wonder how it's looking in other parts of the country

Interesting side note: most of the voters are showing their ID even though it’s not required in New York. It appears both Republicans and Democrats actually want to show their ID when coming up to vote and with the system of voting that we have. If they were required to show their ID and we could scan their driver’s license, they actually can get the vote much faster with proper identification.

Just my $0.02
Back to the polling place I go.

iimjohn - OUT

I voted early in Greenville, SC yesterday. Took about an hour to get through the line. Lots of people appear to be turning out early.

When we early-voted the line was unusally long and snaked inside AND outside of the building. We usually walk in, vote and walk out.

The people at the end of the line said that they had been in the line for an hour or so. I have read other articles about the same kind of thing happening all over the country.

The probem is not knowing for whom all of these people are voting.

In my county (WNY) there is only one location open for early voting. Not surprised the line is long.

You may find this article interesting.

It is just statistical analysis—but it looks good for us:

There is a disturbing rumor afloat today that some 31 MILLION Evangelical Christians will NOT VOTE on 11/5/24!
I’m reminded of a joke so old that, when I first heard it, I kicked the slats out of my crib over 75 years ago Even if you’re heard it before, please resend it in hopes it reaches enough others to make the critical difference.

A man was caught in a raging flood & forced to seek safety on the roof of his home as the water contined to rise.
Soon a man in a boat came by & urgd him to get in. The man replied: “The Lord will save me” & waved him off.
The water rose higher & another boat drifted by & he again declined, & declared “The Lord will save me.”
This repeated 3 times until the water rose OVER the roof & the man drowned!
Upon reaching the pearly gates, the Lord greeted him & the man asked Him why He failed to save him.
The Lord replied, “My son, I sent boats for you but YOU REFUSED TO GET IN!”

What does this have to do with the most critical national election in our history?
EVERYTHING!

Given the incredible volume of information concerning the FLOOD of corruption, sinful behavior (pedophelia, bribes, theft & yes, murders! etc.) within some ranks of the political class (ESPECIALLY THE DEMOCRATS!), think of TRUMP as one of those boats. If you can think of WHY a 70 year old man worth $3 BILLION at the time would subject himself to what Satan & his minions have heaped upon TRUMP & his family, share it with us!
ALL THAT COMES TO MY ALLEGED MIND IS:
LOVE OF COUNTRY!

Here is Owosso, Michigan the line was two hours long and getting longer. Got in and voted, though.

Working the poles

I was asked to stop working the pole and to get back in line.

I know the idea of getting conservatives to vote early is now the official party line. I worry though, that optimism may be a bit naive. If we merely “cannibalize” votes from “election day” we may not be gaining much.

I just posted some data dealing with that exact (cannibalization) issue:
