my polling station only had 2 people come vote while i was there.

never seen it so empty.

i assume lots are voting by mail in ballot.

side note

this was first time i was asked to identify myself, and had to do an electric signature sign in that kept a record of my signature.

a good thing imo.

a first since i started voting here in shasta county also

You are right to complain. Although it is pretty much a given that Trump is the nominee, all our voices need to be heard. Any low turn-out numbers will be used by the media to promote the narrative that Trump can’t win in November. That will reduce the numbers of those voting in future primaries. Haley needs to have almost a zero percent vote total. Otherwise the mantra will be “Haley still has a chance”.

I voted about an hour and a half ago in Denton County, TX. Walked right in got a ballot, voted and right back out. Nobody in line. Haven’t seen that in a long time.

Th only consolation was that the ‘Rats voted on the other side of the same gymnasium, and there even fewer people there.

Why bother. It’s rigged.

It’s a primary and the two presidential candidates are essentially known - Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Unusually low turnout at my polling place in Birmingham which was nice as I did not have to wait. Not much on the ballot to deal with. It was a yawner.

I was voter 31 just after 10am. Excepting four staffer, no one else was at the polling place during the short time I was there. Here in central VA there was no campaign presence whatsoever by either party. I think the Super Tuesday concept is artificial and spreads the candidates too thin. If Haley manages to organize in the urban areas, there could be mischief.

I voted in Elmore County. A good size turnout so far at lunchtime when I went.

The machine that scans the filled-out ballots broke, and the line grew really long to scan it. Finally, the nice old folks who run the voting site just collected the ballots by hand and said they’ll scan them in as soon as the machine guy showed up to fix it.

Now, perhaps many of you are thinking, “A-ha! The fix! is in!” and that thought did go through my mind, but I know these local election people. They are perfectly conservative, love their community and go to church all the time (where I often see them). lot’s of grandkids who still say Sir and Ma’am and behave themselves.

This is Elmore county, not Maricopa!

This is the result of blatantly stealing an election. A lot of people have given up, and for good reason.

I voted around 9:30 in Shelby County. Not crowded but a steady flow.

FYI probably half the people voted absentee. That wasn’t all the voters in your precinct.
