Turnout heavy in my Republican County in NJ (Morris) even though the Republicans are going to win, it seems like the Republicans are enthusiastic anyway.
Morning All....thank you SEMom for doing this thread.
A quick report, but first, heh, an anecdote. Until today, I’m not making this up, I had no idea what GOTV meant. I thought it was some kind of special station on the cable channel that...I dunno....was hip and cool, for folks on the GO. Not that I’m proud of this but for a smile....
My observation is that I vote a very small polling place and normally around ten in the am is nobody there. Today...it was packed. Dunno know what this means but tis my report.
For those from Merryland and as an insight into how NON-political junkees vote, talked to 33 year old daughter in Baltimore. She tells me NO to Kratovil...he’s history, never shoulda been there to begin with. She voted, yes she did, FOR Mulkulski....sheesh, that little lesbian. Daughter had problem with IRS last year and Mikulski made it right for her. Well hell, I guess if a congress critter does a good job for you they deserve your vote. Daughter did tell me that yeah, she knows Mikulski is a Democrat (and daughter knows what I think of them) but she was grateful for the service Babs gave her.
Daughter said she voted AGAINST Sarbanes....she didn’t know the guy, knew he was Republican, HATES Sarbanes.
Daughter voted AGAINST slots at the Arundel Mills Mall cause she says that there’s also plans to have strip clubs there and nobody’s telling about this. Daughter lives close to this Mall and this is a Merryland hot item thing this year.
Without exception, everyone I spoke with or heard talking made reference to REVERSING the obama crap that has been rammed down our throat. I hope the GOP realizes that they have a very short runway this time.
Hopefully it actually gets counted, or should I expect some democrat lawyer to insist that it be destroyed?
My polling place is in The Middle of NoWhere. It was just hitting its busy time when I left, AND the ballot scanner wasn’t working. We were told to deposit our ballots in a special slot in the machine to be scanned later when the machine was fixed. Were I to live in a different place, I’d worry about tampering.
Moderate turnout at my polling place in York County, Virginia, part of the 1st Congressional District. Line was short at mid-morning (less than five minutes waiting time). District is strongly Republican; incumbent Congressman Robb Wittman should trounce his Democratic challenger (the unfortunately-named Krystal Ball) by more than 20 points.
Weather is perfect; clear, cool, temperatures in the low 50s. Turnout likely influenced by the limited ballot (only the Congressional race and three ballot initiatives). As you’d expect, there was a much higher turnout in 2009, when the GOP swept the races for statewide office.
Lest we forget, the conservative tsunami began in Virginia and New Jersey one year ago. If the Republicans elected today are as successful as Bob McDonnell and Chris Christie, we’ll be in very good shape, as a party and as a nation.
Sky was very overcast, gray.
Lines were not long because there were many booths.
Parking was further away than usual.
All -R-s were blackened.
Polls crowded in North Ga. I live in a strong red county. The most important issue is keeping Roy Barnes OUT.
The signs say:
NoBama
NoBarnes
Voted in northern Virginia (Jim Moron’s district) around 10:30. Big line, took 20 minutes to get to the machine, noted most (maybe 20 out of 25)of the people in line had GOP ballots in hand. Wouldn’t it be sweet if ....
Nah, this is NoVA, it couldn’t happen. Or could it?
Voted in Farmer City,Il. this morning. A most beautiful sight on the ballot, no dems running for any county positions!
Fair weather across the rest of the country -- no excuse not to vote!

Hubby and I just returned from polls here in TN. We were told that this is the first time they had ever seen a steady stream of voters ....starting at 7am....with NO dead periods!
Early report of heavy turnout in IL.
Can someone who knows more than me tell me if this is good or bad for us?
I voted at 6:15 and was the 16th voter to use the paper ballot. Probably an equal number used the machine. Felt about average, not heavy or light.

I received notice that I hadn’t signed my envelope when I sent in my ballot. I drove 30 miles to get to the county voting area to sign it yesterday.
I really thought I had signed it. I even told my husband to make sure to sign his envelope. Hope it wasn’t messed with!
We both voted straight Republican.
