I don’t know if that Virginia report is on the money.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginians are voting at a record-setting pace.

The executive secretary of the State Board of Elections said at a briefing in Richmond that 30 percent to 40 percent of the state’s more than 5 million registered voters had cast ballots Tuesday morning. Nancy Rodrigues said that typically the turnout is about one-half of that pace.

She estimated that more than 75 percent of Virginia’s registered voters will have cast ballots by the time the polls close at 7 p.m.

Unless we know where that voting is occuring, there's no way to draw a conclusion. I live in NoVA, in an extremely Blue area. I voted at the same time this year as I did in 2004, and I had zero wait (compared to about 1/2 an hour then) and a much lower number.

And then consider the source of the comments (interesting details on her here and here
