Beau and I live in a teeny-tiny farming Township of 380 people. We were Voters 83 & 84, and then we went out for Pancakes! :)
When I voted in 2016 I voted in the morning (he voted after work) and I was voter #37, and that was at the same time of day, so I’m HOPING that voting is UP by a YUGE margin. We had to wait for 4 people in front of us; that’s never happened before to either of us and he’s voted there for 40 years.
There have been an equal amount of yard & road signs for each side. During 2016, there were more GOP than DEM.
I have NO idea how today is going to go, other than those of us in Rural, Aging populated areas ARE getting out to vote, which supposedly leans Right. And it is a chilly, windy, rainy day, too.
I’m seriously as excited for the results tonight as I was in 2016. How much more WINNING can I take? LOL! MAGA! :)
Well we have a sunny, warm day up here in Northwest Arizona, and that should bring out a big turnout of all those over-50, white people who live up here. I looked at the numbers by county, and almost half of Trump’s margin of victory in Arizona was from Mohave County, AZ (largest city is Lake Havasu City). Quite remarkable what a huge win DJT had in this region of Arizona.
The good weather should help McSally win our open Senate seat today.
My observations are similar in terms of voter numbers compared to 2016. This is HIGHLY UNUSUAL. Usually the interest in the midterm elections drops way off.
Not only is it unusual for midterms, it’s been raining here and that usually cuts down on the number of voters. Yet numbers appear to be up!
