More Voters Than I've Ever Seen
Personal Observation | 6 Nov 2018 | Steely Tom

Posted on 11/06/2018 7:44:13 AM PST by Steely Tom

Just voted, 10:30 east cost time, upstate New York.

The voting place was almost crowded, at least 20 people were voting when I walked in. There was a line at the machine.

I've never seen so many people there. I usually vote in the mid-morning..

It’s raining cats & dogs here in Queens today, but I ain’t no snowflake millenial. There is a wonderful invention called the umbrella which they should make it their business to investigate. I will wade out in a couple of hours to vote, and I just texted my neighbor to make sure he votes. Of course, my vote will be vastly diluted by the insanely stupid libtards surrounding me in NYC, who go gaga when one of their indoctrinated talking points is mentioned. We all know the libtard mantra: get rid of ICE, impeach Trump, free college, no borders, etc. No sovereign country could long exist under such insane conditions, but who said libtards have much in the working brain department?

I think media people will be a little surprised by bedtime, or rather, not surprised, but pretending to be, they've known for weeks.

All the Marxist DemocRATs would be wise to look at the crowds packing the Trump rallies and those standing outside. Millions of Americans loathe the RATs and they better wise up to that fact. RATs will never ever control the American people as long as American patriots have breath in their bodies. Case closed.

I live in the city, small though it is, they are usually Democrat. The township votes Republican. I guess we are purple.

Michigan, SE corner.

Had to wait until after (AM to get in today - usually only 1/4 of the traffic that I’ve seen today. No way to tell how it’s going but the MS Gulf Coast generally votes Conservative.

That’s PA though, over the past few years. The rain is driving me nuts.

I’m in NEPA / Poconos too. We should try to have some sort of meet-up to come up with ideas to fight off this influx of NY/NJ a-holes that are coming here in droves and bringing their votes with them.

I’ll repost my observations from another threa.
Voted in Grand Rapids Michigan (central part of the city)

My gentrified area is ultra left-wing. More multi-colored flags for your sexuality than American flags. Mostly hipsters, pink hat people, college kids and old hippies. 95% white. We are attached to a massive district that belongs to Justin Amash, Vern Elhers before that, and former President Ford before that. So there is no race there.

I was number 325 voting. Not at all many as I expected.

It is cold, windy, rainy. Raining right now in fact.

Yup.

Trump is beyond just a mere president with supporters. He is a virtual rock star that we have a personal connection to that is intense and constant.

With a 90+% approval rating among Republicans, that will translate.

I just voted at 11:15 here in Indiana County, Pa. I was number 331 in our precinct. I’ve never seen that many in a midterm election! I hope it bodes well for our side!

What was the crowd like? With what I saw and LS’s last update with the Dims needing 23 of 28 flappable seats, cant see how the dims pull it off. I know no one cares about Alabama’s vote, but people are extremely motivated.

We voted the “Right” way. Heavy turnout at our polling station (over 700 had already voted BEFORE 9:30AM, which is huge), lots of older ADULTS and report from someone/polling station 12 miles away = heaviest turnout for a mid-term election they have ever had. Also, another huge factor: “PROOF OF RESIDENCY” IS NOW REQUIRED THROUGHOUT New Hampshire and they were checking the I’D of EVERYONE seeking to vote, the POLICE WERE PRESENT! = No more bussing people in from Massachusetts, or out of state students fraudulently screwing up the election results.

I don’t know what it means - just that it’s unusual.

It could be that the left is just as motivated as we are, or that both sides are motivated (which means the crowds don’t mean much of anything).

I just wish it was 12 hours from now!!!

Just got back from voting. The line was longer than during the last presidential election. I have NEVER seen a line during midterm elections.
