When I voted early here in NC, As I was walking into polling place I was handed a Dem blue sheet. I asked which Judges were Dem and after she helpfully showed me, I politely thanked her and said “ Now I know who not to vote for”. Her expression was priceless.

Wow, she just outright handed it to you? That’s tantamount to electioneering, which is illegal within a certain number of feet from a polling place (varies from state to state) - although I can’t say I’m surprised. I believe the most they’re allowed to do is ask “Would you like a voting guide?”

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.
