Thanks.

It was something I was wondering about. Many people would not notice.

Assuming a normal day in my town, social distancing would have caused the line to go from 300 feet normally to 600 feet today.

That would make the line seem endless.

A lot of republicans won’t get to vote due to turnout...watch for lots to be turned away at end of day. Dems outsmarted us and did all theirs by mail.

The last Presidential election there were quite a few people in line and people were openly saying they were in favor of Trump. No one mentioned Hillary.
That’s when i started feeling pretty good about a Trump win.

In South Texas short line and moving steady. Maybe 30 mins in and out. On the street outside only two small Biden signs and tons of Trump mixed in with locals.
Went on a tour of the neighborhood and found zero Biden signs. The closest was "Vote Blue All The Way Through" but the winner was a 4'x8' "TRUMP 2020 F##K YOUR FEELINGS".

1. Indiana

2. Mixed district

3. They moved my polling place this year...you now have more places from which to choose, which is good and bad. Supposedly, there is an app that will tell you wait times--I did not have that app on my phone.

There were probably 150-200 people in front of me, and it took about 50 minutes to get through the line, vote and get out of there. There was a GOP volunteer watching the line, probably a Dem, too. Things were much more electronic this year...we'll see if that's good or bad.

By far, that's the longest I ever had to wait in line for a Presidential election.

Idaho, Ada county - I’ve hardly ever had to wait in line to vote, but this morning, I waited 45 minutes! They had blue dots spaced 6 ft apart- it looked like the line in Disneyworld. I would not be surprised if Idaho went all red, including Blaine, Ada, and Latah county, all college towns.

1. What State? NY

2. Is your precinct GOP, DEM, or Mixed. Tilts RAT due to libtard college campus located in voting district.

3. How does the turnout compare to past POTUS elections? At 6:15 am the line was deceptively long due to social distancing markers that kept the voters six feet apart. The line stretched a block and a half, and the estimated wait was 1.5 to 2 hours. Since I live nearby, I went home, and then back to the polls at 9:45 am, when the wait was less than 15 minutes. I was voter number 158, which is just about where I usually am when I vote in the 9;30 am to 10 am time slot. What that says to me is that the turnout is the same, but the process is much slower due to Wuhan Flu pre-cautions.

Cute!

But, it’s nice when you’re in a freedom-loving zone.

For me it would be the other way.

Minnesota, GOP.

I went to vote about 10 am. Two other cars in the parking lot when I arrived. Nobody but me when I left, so pretty much like I've experienced in past elections. Election judge lady said turnout has been good. She said I was number 203 today.

a) MD - central

b) diverse commie

c) about same for mid-morning. Not very heavy at all but constant flow. We were allowed fewer polling places than usual.

I got a pix of Kim Klacik volunteers and their big JumboTron truck! (Yes, it’s the Cueball Cummings district, of Kim’s exciting ad campaign; very good but lots of luck against well-known NAACP Queasy M-Fumes.)

Oh you mean they’re too lazy to do it the proper way.

We like things proper, and those Dopes also have to watch out for mail problems of all kinds!

Voted this morning in Chesterfield County (normally red, but elected Dem rep in bloodbath of 2018). Polls were very light. We’re usually not that light. Don’t know what to make of it. My wife commented that the two Obama victories saw the polls overflowing (especially with black voters) and we had to wait 30-45 minutes to vote. At the same time, I feel like we need a high election day turnout for some of the down-ballot folks. So I don’t know what to think...

Two reports from Alabama. Friend voted in Prattville. Had 40 min wait. Usually no wait.

I voted in Millbrook. Actually voted twice...really! The machine wouldn’t take my ballot, so we finally figured out it was because they had stuck the “I voted” sticker on the ballot and some of the sticky stuck to ballot, so they scrapped that ballot and I voted again with no issues. I was voter 235, but my place has 3 ballot machines. First time ever there was a line to get in, but it moved quickly.

I think getting Jones out of the Senate is a motivator, but I really don’t like Tuberville...

Wife and I early voted in Tenn week last week. Mid morning on Tuesday.

We have NEVER had to wait in line when we early vote... but we did on that day, about 20 minutes. Line was longer when we left.

Heavy R area, and that's when I knew for certain something was off with the polls.

1. What State? PENNSYLVANIA

2. Is your precinct GOP, DEM, or Mixed. D M

3. How does the turnout compare to past POTUS elections? OBAMA TURN OUT WAS HUGE PRIMARIES THIS YEAR AVERAGE BUT MOSTLY BECAUSE OF VOTE BY MAIL. I VOTED AT 9:30 THIS MORNING AND WAS VOTER #148. MY SON VOTED AN HOUR LATER AND WAS VOTER 209.

My area is pretty mixed I would say though most others standing in line gave off a Dem vibe/look. I know you can’t judge book by its cover but sometimes you just know lol.

FL North of Tampa. 43% GOP vs 38%Dem registration in my county

Have seen huge lines driving by polling spots for the last 2 weeks (I voted early in person Sat)

Could not believe the amount of Trump yard signs...Trump flags on Trucks, bikers roadside wavers etc. I can hear the honking from my house lol. Not a Biden flag in sight. I kept a tally over the weekend, 44-4 Trump vs Biden yard signs

I voted absentee (for Broward) from NC. I often joke that I am one of 14 registered Republicans in Broward County. LOL. I know it’s not THAT bad. I was impressed by the absentee voting system. I was able to check the status of my mail and even to see “ballot received, vote recorded.”
