Please post you anecdotal turnout observations here for Florida. Include your location and how it compares to 2012.
Pinellas county checking in. Was at the polls when the doors opened this morning. There were ~150 people waiting in line. The line was just as long if not longer when I left. Parking was a nightmare. All-in-all, everyone was in good spirits, but I did catch some Democrat voter ID cards. Didn’t have the courage to ask if they were voting for the witch.
D +7 folks - the MSM baseline for a Hillary win today.
I love these threads, but wish they were in breaking or front page so I can find them easier throughout the day :) ...Maybe create a master thread in breaking that points to all the different state threads ;)
Duuuuuuuuval!

Early voting went to DEMs by a small margin. Since the polls have been open REPs have been closing the gap.
Click on the link and hit refresh. Hopefully, by the time you do, the total column will show more REPs than DEMs.
From deep inside a blue state urban zone, I can report there was no line at all at my polling place at 9:30 am. There were more voters for the primary.

I am not in Florida but I’ll tell you my husband’s experience here in PA this morning if you’re interested.
We are in the north hills of Pittsburgh. Small semi-rural suburban community. Lots and lots of Trump signs around here for weeks, with an occasional Hitlery sign messing up the landscape. Anyway, our polling place is relatively small with just two precincts voting there. My husband left at 6:30 and wanted to vote right at 7 to be sure he would get to work o
Time. I scoffed at him when he said “I wanna get in line early”. I really didn’t think there would be lines this early. Well, he texted to say there were at least 150 people and cars were parked everywhere including across the road. I am reading similar accounts from Facebook friends across western PA
I know you asked for FL stories, but Pa is a key player too.
Not specific to Florida. But MSNBC and all the liberal sites for bragging that Slate (a major leftwing group) had sent out their own exit pollsters around the nation and they would be posting live exit poll results as they started rolling in at 7:00 EST. I have seen NOTHING about this and it is almost 10:00 EST. so I went to the Slate website. They are now saying they will post some around 11:00EST. They also have a warning up saying not to pay much attention to them because Republicans tend to vote in larger numbers on election day and democrats tend to early vote, so it sounds to me like the numbers aren’t looking very good (you know if Hillary had landslide numbers they would have had them all over every network at 7:01).
My little beach town in Pinellas County, FL had the longest line at about 0715 that I’ve ever experienced. They even let one lady in with a Trumplican shirt on. I wore my Donut Tread On Me shirt with no issues. #MAGA!

Wow, I’ve been waiting for this. Rush talked about it yesterday.
In 2012 mitt got 211615 and Obama got 196737 just for comparison. Will be watching. Thanks for link.
Total is almost even now by party but I would say Trump is ahead when you count Independents.
Thanx for the update...I was wondering about that waiting for the first exit polling....you’d think with the YUGE turnout this morning at the polls they would have a tiny fraction of some results by now...if they did they would be spewing their orgasmic spittle if theirs queen beast’s was ahead ....hmmm Interesting but still too damn early!! Or folks just don’t want to say jack!!
Just now updated. In Duval County, Republicans UP by more than 4000 over Democrats for Election Day voting!
Just 6 votes left to overcome early voting advantage.
Way cool!
Like I was trying to say, MSM fantasy and reality diverge.
Lots of folks, mainly angry looking white professional women. Plus I got TWO ballots... Voted for every prez candidate on ballot 2 and returned it.
