I was an election official this past Tuesday for the local election primary. I was (again) assigned to a precinct in a mostly black church in South Memphis, and my task was to check ID’s and issue the ballot application forms and encoded voting machine cards.
Since this was a primary, everyone had to declare a party - 3 republicans and 88 democrats. My previous poll duties required virtually constant effort for several hours; this turn required about the same 14 1/2 hours, but we had only 91 voters during the 12 hours we were open for voting - or about 7.5 per hour. Rules require that we post a list of all early (87) and absentee ballot (3) voters from the precinct, since they are ineligible to vote on election day.
EVERY race was contested, and this precinct had about 750 eligible voters, so democrat turnout was very low. I learned from conversations with a couple of counterparts in republican precincts that their turnouts were much higher, so I believe that this is a positive indication for November.
Shhh! Don’t tell the leftists; since they tend to live in their own fantasy world, they might not notice.
