Please post DETAILED early voting reports. Location, lines, demographics, wait time, possible fraud, etc. How does it compare to EV in 2016? Please be detailed.
I am going tomorrow in Reno, will post then
Harris County GA - usually votes around 70% conservative but almost never wait. I went Saturday and waited 2.5 hours to vote. Been like that every day since early voting started on the 12th. Demographics - around 80% white but there are a lot of old people in the area that were raised that FDR saved their families. Near Warm Springs GA and the area has a valley where FDR “relocated” a lot of poor white families and gave them farms/land during the depression.
First time voting in Arkansas. I was driving around looking at trees changing colors near Gravette, Ar. I remembered it had an early vote location.
There was no line. I went in and showed my ID. I went to a touch screen that printed out a ballot.
It was fast and easy.
(In California, I didn’t need to show ID, and we would mark a paper ballot)
I voted, in person, on the first day of early voting in my state (that was last Monday). I proudly and gleefully voted for Trump/Pence and all down-ballot Republicans.
Poll watcher Seminole County FL. You can click in forum to read my reports. This is a message for in person EV and ED voters who are surrendering a VBM ballot: PLEASE MARK IT PRIOR TO SURRENDERING IT. When you surrender it in FL, they only cancel the envelope, not the ballot. I can just see a scenario where these blank ballots are filled in and a judge orders them counted.
There was a Republican poll watcher at my precinct when I voted.
I’ve never seen one before this.
Have absentee ballots mailed to my wife and I.
We are going to take them in, and either drop them in the box at the election site; or see if we can exchange them and vote in person.
We don’t trust the US Mail to do their job; having the USPO Federal Union come out and endorse Joe Biden, then state they want to gather the ballots? On what planet is this not considered fair, balanced and not open to corruption?
We voted this morning in Maryland’s first day of early voting. Lines were long but moved quickly. I encountered what I’m pretty sure was an example of imposter voting today. Maryland does not allow voter ID by showing of valid ID. After going to the first station to get my “white slip” (from the folks to whom you give your name and after giving them a correct date of birth and address that matches their roster) I went to the secondary line for getting the actual ballot. In front of me was a very nervous acting woman. Her male companion came over to her from the first station and told her “he cast an absentee ballot”. After that the companion did NOT go to the provisional voting station but instead immediately left the building. I think both were doing their first imposter vote of the day.
A paper ballot?!
How environmentally unsound for California.
Tink of da twees!!

Thanks for this report. Questions:
1) How common is it that voters are bringing in mail ballots and cancelling them? Rs mostly?
2) When a mail ballot is brought in and cancelled, is that being subtracted from the statistics on mail ballots? How do they count the voter? An in-person voter or a mail voter?
Which county in MD?
Voted in Hunt County last Tue with the wifey. Hunt is at least 76% Republican. No line. We both did electronic. Caddo Mills has about 2 ,000 people. There was a $90M bond issue for more new schools.
Howard county... at the Meadowbrook Athletic Complex voting center.
Semi-rural area of a mildly red county in Maryland.
It took an hour to get through the line to vote, from 10:50 - 11:50 am.
We’re in Maryland, so the possibility of fraud is ever-present.
This was the first day of early in-person voting, and the lines were long. But instead of voting in our own precinct, there are only 7 early-voting sites in a county of half a million residents, so it’s difficult to make comparisons with prior years. My wife and I were voters 212 and 213, but I don’t know whether that’s for our usual precinct, for the site, or what.
And, obviously, straight-R vote.
1- I’m not permitted to see the screen so I really don’t know the R/D breakdown on surrendered ballots. But if I had to guess 65/35 R vs D...lots of very senior citizens in the mix.
2-i confirmed with the clerk that voters who surrender VBM ballots are removed from the outstanding totals of mailed ballots and counted as an early voter.
North Texas Collin County Suburb Located North of Plano.
Early voted at our event center last Saturday (17th). No line, but reports (and video) showed a long wait to get in on the the first day of early voting (13th). In and out in 10 minutes.
Our town is mostly pinkish beige, but there are probably about 25% minorities, with an over-representation of Indian and other Asian ethnic groups... particularly on the west (richer) part of town. The dozen or so people voting at the same time I was were a decent cross section of my town.
I saw two things that concerned me. One was a man I assume trying to vote provisionally, he didn't appear to be registered and seemed to not want to follow directions, he eventually voted.
The other was a middle-aged couple escorted by another lady. All three were in their late forties to early sixties. It turns out that the second lady had already voted and was there as an election coach for the couple. The couple took adjoining booths and the "coach" helped the mark their ballots. I asked one of the judges if that was legal. She said the couple had both signed affidavits saying they needed help to vote. However, neither appeared to be feeble in any way. The coach was wearing a jacket with "Somalia" on the back and both her and the other lady were wearing head/face scarves. I suspect the lady wearing the "Somalia" jacket was a professional vote minder hired by a campaign.
Voted last week south of Dallas/Ft Worth area in the county barn break room. There was an old couple in front of me having trouble with the electronic sign in (no more paper books listing names and addresses) and caused a few minutes of wait while election personnel helped them.
Walked up with drivers license and voters card in hand, signed the electronic sign in tablet and had a ballot in moments. Total time maybe 10 minutes.
No shenanigans in sight.
Voted day 2 I. Fla. no long lines but steady inflow. 3 of us for Trump.
Very good verification process. No Biden signs posted on street , no people out there supporting him
Informal trump mini rallies at street corners every night with many thumbs up , supportive horn honking
