One of the best ways to identify what’s going on in any area is a ground report from the people most familiar with it, that’s YOU. If you are voting today perhaps you would consider sharing a ground report from your town, city, neighborhood or voting precinct.
How’s the turnout? Any issues or concerns? What’s the overall climate amid your voting locales. Please feel free to share your personal perspectives in the comment section along with any links to any information you feel might be valuable or interesting. ...

Awesome. Deplorables, even if you’re in a dark blue state, vote and pray like crazy. You never know!
Rural NC here - early voted last week. Both parties had tables outside the polling place — huge Trump sign on 6’ poles, Hillary lawn sign was against a chain link fence — and behind the D tent.
Talked with the Republican worker - he was grinning ear to ear. Said not much traffic to his table, but 80-90% of those entering gave him a thumbs up, wink, grin.
And this is in blue-dog Democrat country.
Frank “Cuck” Luntz may be getting out ahead of the Cuck crowd. Saying working class in MI voting is high. AND equals good 4 Trump. Duh on both points
Reporting from Lehigh Township, Northampton PA. It is a predominate GOP district.
I have been voting since 1976. When I got to the parking lot (at 10:45am) it was FULL of pickup trucks and late model cars. The line was the longest I have EVER seen. MUCH longer than in 2008. I had to wait 1 hour and 20 minutes to vote (usually it takes only 10-15 minutes).
For the first time at this place, they had a constable on the premises.
Judging by the people present, %70 white men and %80 over the age of 40, this is going to be a good night for Trump.
The only thing I did not like, is that the machines are all electronic touch screens (Soros machines) with no way to verify that your vote was tabulated correctly.
If there is no fraud, Trump will win Pennsylvania.
8:45 in purple precinct in San Diego. No line; no waiting. Presidential race not in question. Most interesting issues on the ballot: new Chargers stadium, death penalty - mend it or end it, required use of condoms in porn films made in the state, and legalization of marijuana. Predictions: California’s electors will vote for Hillary, the stadium initiative will receive less than 50% of the vote, the death penalty will be ended, the condom initiative will fail, and marijuana will be legalized.

PPD Poll: PPD Poll says dem crossover is 7% and republican crossover is 5%, so a net gain. Also says 89% dems vote for Hillary and same for Trump, 89% Republicans vote Trump.
Is FR going to be able to keep up today? I am experiencing VERY SLOW wait times for it to respond, but this is not occurring on any of my other open tabs (using IE 11)
South Tulsa is hardly impoverished.
Frank Luntz: BREAKING: Watch Michigan. Working-class turnout is looking much higher than expected.
Will MSM hacks leave a suicide note by 11 pm Pacific, when Hawaii is nearly done counting, and the results are undeniable?
Suburban Indy as well.
My wife just returned from voting. Just shy of 2 hours in line.
I am going to leave to vote shortly. We’ll see how bad it is then.
Colorado Springs. This formerly deep-red state is now light blue thanks to all of the liberals moving in from the coasts. And this year, for the first time, it’s an all-mail-in-ballot vote. I’m disgusted. For years I’d planned to volunteer at the polls when I retired, and now that I have the time there are no polls. You can register as late as today—got to make sure all those illegal aliens, felons, and dead people vote. No ID checks, obviously, so maximum chance for vote fraud.
I voted for Trump and mailed in my ballot a week ago. Yesterday I checked the Secretary of State web site and found that my ballot was accepted and will be counted. That’s the only good news I have. I’m really depressed about what I see as our poor chance to win, but I’m also ready to eat my words and apologize to every FReeper here tomorrow if I turn out to be wrong. Oh please oh please oh please...
We just moved in August to Cohoes NY. Apparently the area is heavily democrat; Hillary stopped here at the High School in April of 2016 to campaign.
I was #171 at the poll and it was 4 hours later - I would think this means that numbers are way down here although I do not have the comparison number for other years.
Maybe someone else knows?
I am hoping this is a good sign ... heavily democrat area - possible low turnout?
Voted in Prince William County Virginia mid morning. Took a sample ballot from Repub, then went up to two nice looking well dressed black men handing out Dem ballots. Asked them in as friendly voice as I could muster, “do you know who Dr. Ben Carson is?” “Oh, yes,” was the response. “Do you know that he is ALL in on Donald Trump?” Pause, “really?” “Really,” I answered.
“And you know I wasn’t especially keen on Trump when he first started running, but given the history of the Clinton crime machine, I don’t know how anyone could vote for her, but we just have to vote our conscience don’t we.” “Yes, yes” they said. “And then we all will have to stand before God and answer for our decisions,” were my parting words.
I guess the key takeaway here is that they knew who Dr. Carson was, but didn’t know he was a strong Trump supporter. They seemed genuine enough, and if they were truthful, then I have to wonder what kind of closed information loop they live in to not ever come across one of the many times/interviews/FaceBook posts, etc. where Carson supports Trump.
Arrived at voting approx 10:00 am,rural area in north central florida. More people then expected,was told voting was heavy. Area is conservative, nothing but Trump signs. It was professional, photo id and signature was required, no solicition of any type. Voted and said hi to friends in parking lot. Good experience! It is a wonderful area neighbors know eachother, we check on eachother and are mostly conservative.
Take a look at the thread. Lots of encouraging news.
