Nobody I know is going to vote. Im in Florida.
Based on the performance of these two states in past elections dating back at least a decade or so, maybe more, I’d say that we won’t be able to tell until AFTER the polls have closed and the opposition has had time to assess how far they are behind to manufacture the right “cheats” to pull out a late-night “defendable” win. :0)
No traffic in Cincinnati. sadly, I was alone at the polling place this morning. That means the regulars will carry that precinct.
In central Florida, slightly more than usual but no crowd as of 8:30.
My nephew in Jax is voting. I asked him to email me after and let me know if it was crowded or not.
FL = People have been going to the polling places for the past 2 weeks, so by now most of the seniors already voted. LOL, it was the early bird special vote.
Thread title reminds me of when Hugh Hewitt used to call Freepers the Coast Watchers.
I’m expecting wins for Trump in FL and Kasich in OH. OH Anti Trumpers will see their candidate has no shot. Some will vote Kasich today. That should be enough to put Kasich over the top in a close race.
Saw one interview:
“It is going to be close here in Florida!” said Mr. H. Chad.
I’m in Ohio. Same as usual when I went, but I go quite early before going to work.
Nicer area of columbus... Very light turnout at 8 am. I would guess this area is 60 40 rep to dem
I’d say light here in Dayton suburbs, although I don’t really recall the primary of 2012, only the general.
The ballot was not as tricky as I thought-—clearly explained about needing to vote twice. Did NOT vote for ANY downticket guys, including Portman or any judge, only three friends. Otherwise, it’s putting in the same GOPe establishment cronies.
I did notice a sign to the effect of “Rand Paul Supporters: He has dropped out of the race and ballots for him will not be counted in accordance with Ohio law” or words like that.
Florida has EARLY voting so traffic at polls today might not matter. I voted last Monday. In ‘n’ Out. Easy.
I’m in NC and there was about 12 of us waiting for the polling station to open at 6:30am this morning:-)
Most were blue collar type guys:-)
Traffic was heavier than usual at my local precinct. Lots of Trump stickers in the parking lot.
I’m trying to work up the enthusiasm to go after work. By the time these guys got done trashing each other I didn’t want to vote for any of them.
96.5 said they are running out of ballots in Apopka, Florida. Plenty of people have early voted here but I think it is very busy here today anyway.
Very heavy here in suburban northern Ohio!
I dropped off my ballot on the second day they were taking them. There was a short line of cars already that day waiting to drop their ballots into the outside box. I’ve never seen that before. I think a lot of people voted early. I drive by the local elections office regularly and there always seemed to be someone dropping off a ballot.
South Central Florida. I voted at 10:45 am. My precinct has a little over 700 registered voters. The five minutes I was there I counted 15 people coming and going. Past elections the count was 4 or 5. Interesting that their were no supporters outside holding signs. There were three Trump signs. No other candidate signs were displayed.
Interesting observation: Monday night I was at the local Republican Headquarters and was surprised, for the first time to see much Cruz material. It must have just arrived because the wrapping was still laying on the table.
I volunteer every Monday so I have the opportunity to note the activity (or lack of activity)of candidates organization pertaining to campaign material.
