Just voted somewhere in the NE. Paper ballots and a scanner. About 60 people in line and it moved quickly. Took 10 minutes.

It was funny, the ladies working the desk were asking people to go online to get their election district. The idiot behind me was typing "pole" instead of "poll" on his phone to get the ED. IDIOTS!

God Help Us All!!

Go TRUMP!!!

In and out at 0645. Large number of AAs. Not sure what that means. I saw that in 2012 and it was a bad omen. Maybe they’re voting for Trump this time.

Voted early this AM in Virginia Beach. we are in a HEAVY navy district, blue collar beach community that includes Little Creek Navy Base and SEAL teams. No Hillary signs AT all....Voted at the Baptist Church, about 200 people in line at 6 am. My neighbor got there at 515 and said the line was 200+. Not many wearing RED, COLD here so lots of jackets ( I guess no one has bright red jackets, also no real Virginia sports teams with red in their colors). Sample ballots were handed out. ALL were Yellow, no blue or salmon papers. Cant tell you how I feel about it though, I tend to be more of a cynic, large enlisted population with minorities in line. Paper Ballots were used and then scanned into a machine, I accidentally glanced at the ballot of an AA male in navy fatigues 30ish enlisted in front of me that had checked the box for Hillary. Not sure what that means, kind of expected it. We have a HUGE ballot initiative down here to use 100’s of millions of dollars to extend a light rail to Va Beach that nobody uses now and a corrupt mayor that is in hot water. Lots of voters turning out for those issues. In other words people voting against those issues are voting against Hillary.

Voted in Congressional District 13 (SE Pennsylvania, Abington Township, Montgomery County)this morning at 7:10 am. I was voter #31.

I’m waiting in line and I overheard the fat, 60ish white woman Judge (reeked lib) say to the volunteer overseeing the line “why don’t we let these people into the voting area?” to which he replied “we can only let 10 people in at a time because it’s a new rule.” She was arguing about the cold, etc.

I get up to them and she’s trying to usher me into the area that’s already holding more than 10 voters. I say to her “I’ll wait and follow the rules. You really should too.”

At the desk checking in I gave my name. The woman next to me is telling the middle-aged white woman at the desk “Republican” to the question of party affiliation. She then asked “why do you need to know that.” The desk lady answered in a sing-song mocking tone “because the ‘poll workers’ need to know.” I said to her “you should keep your opinions to yourself.”

I voted straight Pubby with the exception for 1 down ticket dem, so my electronic vote wouldn’t be switched. I also wore a red top. Came home and had to chew a piece of Nicorette gum.

I just got to the poll. The line is out the door and around the building. The parking lot is full and people are parking on the grass. I’ve never seen it like this before. Lexington SC.

Would not let my wife cast a normal ballot. She had to cast a provisional ballot.

She did not have her registration card with her. And they had no way to check list of registered voters. Sounds like irregularities to me. Did the SoS not know this might be important on election day???

Polls opened at 6 AM local time (Chicago, Hispanic area), school just down the block, I got there at 6:02, first, the poll workers weren’t allowed in until 5:30 so they weren’t ready, the software wouldn’t boot up, I had to wait about 15 minutes. By the time I finished someone had voted already, no crowds yet, 1 or 2 people tops when I exited.

Voted for Trump and my RINO Senator Kirk.

Eff the democrats, go America.

My computer crashed after visiting wikileaks last night. So I’m outside the library [still closed] leaching off a hotspot.

MASSIVE voter turnout at a nearby voting place.

Last night I saw a few Jane Ditz-czar [d house] signs out. [Just coined the name I think.] And I actually saw a Hillary sign. Ugly and blocky looking sign BTW.

Trump enthusiasm at a high pitch out here.

Voted here in New York (Putnam County) Even though Hillary will probably take the state there were 100 in line at 7:00 AM. Note: Putnam has a lot of city cops it is a red county in the middle of a sea of blue)

SW Virginia. Trump Country. Our family wore red and gave Trump 4 votes. Busier than usual but no line as we are a rural area. I think we take Virginia with God’s grace.

Wife and I voted about 6:10 this morning (polls opened at 6:00) we were 28 & 29 in our ED. Since this is NY there are about 8 ED’s served at our polling place. It was busier than I’ve remember it being the last few elections. I am in a heavy RED area of NYC and will probably be the only Trump win in the city. All I can say is I haven’t seen any Hillary yard signs, only a few bumper stickers this whole cycle. Trump will carry Staten Island, NYC is a lost cause.

Voted in my division in Philly which is a college bedroom community, old line neighborhood, millennial mix. The early crowd looked like the classic white moonie yungons that I’m used to seeing. All hot to vote for Hillary so they could continue to pay off their massive college loans with their barista jobs and whatever focus group money they could pick up.

Never saw a woman with a hijab on at an election. 3 with their husbands in the 10 minutes I was in the polling place. We’re being snookered.

The polls had been open here in Indiana for about 45 minutes when I arrived at my polling place at a church. The crowd was the biggest I’ve seen on Election Day.

Middle Georgia here. Arrived at 6:55 with polls open at 7:00. Longest line I’ve ever seen at my precinct — 60 to 70 in line to vote. Same when I left. Normally, I have a line of 5 or so for credential check, and the same waiting for a voting machine.

Bartlett, Illinois (western Chicago suburb, Republican area). The line to vote was the longest I’ve ever seen since living in the area (30+ years).

Wife and myself 2 for Trump
Wife has Mild/Moderate Alzheimers
She was in a long time
Got confused because the sample ballot only showed the GOP not the big board
Surprised the official let me open the curtain and hit the button for her
