Heavy turnout at my polling place in Pittsburgh, but the area is so overwhelmingly Democrat it won’t much matter either way.

In general large turnout is bad for us. It means the Leftards have found a way to get their voters off the couch.

Minnesota 3 is one unfortunate possibility. It was once the epicenter of GOP activity in Minnesota but the suburbs have started to turn a bit bluer and the district is now a purple one.

Goodbye RINO Paulsen.

Per the Duluth News Tribune (8th CD), early indicators say that it’ll be a big turnout.

The 8th CD is supposed to be one of those rare seats that flips from blue to red but it remains to be seen if that will translate into votes for our statewide GOP candidates. I hope so.

It will be interesting to see if Facebook, Google, and Twitter blocking of conservatives will have the same effect as Obama's IRS denying conservative PAC tax exempt status.

Obama hoped that stopping conservatives from organizing would hurt the messaging and get out the vote operations, and he was probably right, given the outcomes.

Shutting down Facebook and YouTube was supposed to keep grass-roots Republicans from feeling that they were part of a wave movement, making them more susceptible to the MSM messaging of an inevitable blue wave. It may have been working... until the Kavanaugh hearings. Democrat's abominable behavior woke the sleeping giant, I hope.

We will know for sure tomorrow.

More anectodotal obversvations. I’m in the Sulphur Springs part of Tampa, aka Suitcase City, not exactly a tony part of town. Yet I’ve only seen one poster each of Gillium and Nelson. Even saw a couple of DeSantis posters. HMMMM!

Maybe a lot of those dems are thinking there is NO WAY they could support what's going on in their party and going to help try to stop it.

Afternoon Laz.

We just got the early voting numbers for Camden County (Saint Marys). Roughly 20% of registered voters have already voted.

This is unprecedented turnout for us. This matches the results of my GOTV phone calls in my precinct (West Saint Marys). I was able to complete 486 calls in the precinct. That is I spoke with or left messages for roughly a third of the registered voters.

The enthusiasm is through the roof. I only got 3 even remotely hostile receptions and only 2 hang-ups. WOW! Even the Democrats I called in error were polite.

Laissez le bon Trump rouler!

Praying you are wrong on Sessions. His opponent is a whack job.

If Sessions holds, it’s over.

Barr appears to be good. That would put them at needing 23/25 races without a single D-R flip.

I was streaming the Trump rally last night on my TV via youtube app. Who should pop up in a youtube ad for the FL governor’s race but the kenyan Barack Hussein Obama himself. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I can’t imagine a lot of Trump rally watchers swinging their vote based on that ad. Ha ha. Dems must have money to burn to do that. Or maybe it was free?

We voted straight “Red Right”. Heavy turnout at our polling station (over 700 had already voted BEFORE 9:30AM, which is huge), lots of older ADULTS and report from someone/polling station 12 miles away = heaviest turnout for a mid-term election they have ever had. Also, another huge factor: “PROOF OF RESIDENCY” IS NOW REQUIRED THROUGHOUT New Hampshire and they were checking the I’D of EVERYONE seeking to vote, the POLICE WERE PRESENT! = No more bussing people in from Massachusetts, or out of state students fraudulently screwing up the election results.

Just voted in Hilton Head. Huge lines equaling 2016. Here is hoping Katie Arrington gets elected. Poll worker told me that the lines started at the opening of the polls. The large numbers could be a good sign. Sanford won in 2016 59%-37%.

Sanford refused to endorse Katie after she beat him in the primary.
