Open Thread--Voter Turnout in Your Area

Small town in NH.

Busy place.

They were checking ID on entering. You signed in and they crossed your name off and handed you a paper ballot, which you went into a curtained booth to fill in. Then came out and handed it to a person, who crossed off your name from another list.

It was a very sociable atmosphere.

Not at all. This farming country. Very family oriented and conservative.

We retired and relocated from Mississippi to enjoy our two absolutely awesome and amazing grands, 5 & 2. Pleasantly surprised how nice this area is. Not keen on winter though.

South of Tampa. Good crowd of voters but very efficient system and line moved right along. My husband and I were in and out in 15 minutes. Cheerful atmosphere.

WOW! I had no idea. I’ve seen far more republican signs. Everyone I’ve met seems sick of the mess the dems have made. We’ll see how the vote goes this year. The town has experienced an influx from Madison in the passed ten years. The might be a factor.

9 AM in Morris County, NJ. Took me 40 min. to vote...by far, the longest time ever...

HEAVY turnout in my precinct here in HELLINOIS. I live in a reliably RED precinct, nonetheless all 94 of my neighbors showed up this morning to vote Straight Republican.

Yes. All 94.

Did my part.

First time voting in this city (Cleveland, TN), so I do not know if the hour wait at noon was unusual. Lady in a Trump t-shirt held things up for a while. No one noticed what it said until she was halfway through the ballot. She caused a huge scene when they made her go turn it inside out. The law about political information in polling places has been in place for a long time in Tennessee.

Of course, I think they missed a Green Party t-shirt. It was more subtle. I did not even notice what it said until the person finished voting.

Arizona, Maricopa County, LD7...huge turnout and it continues to pour in. Voters were prepared and on a mission.

Welcome!

Yeah, Winter can be a drag, but I love all of our Winter sports - snowshoeing, ice fishing, riding our vintage Arctic Cat sleds (His & Hers), and of course the, Marathon Snow Shoveling, LOL!

Voters 78 & 79, Ridgeway Township, WI. It was PACKED! Never seen it so busy and I’ve voted in the same place for all elections (Township Hall) since moving here 6 years ago. We had to wait 30+ minutes to vote, and this is in a Cow Town of 300!

Bodes well for our side. With the exception of one young couple with a small child, everyone else was a Senior...and we know how they vote. ;) Everyone was upbeat and HAPPY to be voting, as if their vote might actually, legitimately be counted this time around. I find this VERY encouraging!

I wore my VERY RED Ronald Reagan polo, purchased at his boyhood home in Dixon, IL to the polls and no one said shit to me. Nor should they. There's a 3" circular patch on the left side showing where the shirt's from and one would have to look very hard to read the stitching on it.

I wore RED because everyone knows that's REPUBLICAN without saying so. That's why.
