Please post you anecdotal turnout observations here for Pennsylvania. Include your location and how it compares to 2012.
York County:
Many callers on the Gary Sutton show WSBA AM 910 reporting higher than normal turnout. One suburban York caller arrived at the polls at 6:45, waited in line an hour and was # 350-something.
Springfield Township at 9 AM had a 95% caucasian line extending the length of a football field and folks parking creatively.
My Trump signs were stolen again last night. Put them back up this morning. Planted one of them near a multiflora rose and wrapped the thorny stems around the stakes. Hope the little a-hole gets a handful of jaggers.
Would help if you can tell us if your districts are R or D.
I was just in Wilkes Barre, Luzerne County, this morning. Lived there for over 10 years, typically a big blue collar Dem area, but this year all of my friends there are voting Trump. Passed polling places, all with huge lines.
My wife and I just voted. Our district is not that large but I was #383 at 10:00am this morning. That’s a heavy turnout. I overheard several people talking while we waited in line. All the comments were anti-Hillary and most of those was how the FBI has given her a pass.
Adams County, 8 miles N of Gettysburg in Heidlersburg. Wife reports long line @ 7:00. i’ve only seen about 3-4 Hitlery signs in the whole county. The rest are Trump. About two or three of those were defaced.
Seemed like more 'Rat poll workers than voters, lots of Hildabeast signs; no Trump signs. The silver lining: lots of long faces on the 'Rat poll workers. Hopefully a harbinger of good news ...
These are good reports. To make them great we need to see how your area votes typically. A long line in XXX township is not useful to the folks visiting these threads to see if things are going good or going bad.
Long lines in GOP areas = Good. Short lines or no lines in Dem areas = Good. But the typical out of state reader can’t know if you don’t tell them — if you’re in a GOP area or Dem area.
Thanks!
Upper Bucks (UBE): in and out in 5 minutes, mixed crowd, peaceful and polite.
I was voter # 113 here in a tiny back woods hamlet north of Ft. Indian town Gap.
I’ve never been over 50 before so it looks like this will be a very large turnout. Hope its enough to beat Clinton’s vote fraud.
Longest lines I’ve ever seen in Lehigh County

Also saw my first Trump/Pence sign in Sharpsburg as we were walking down to vote. Saw lots of Bernie signs before the primary but I've still not seen a single Hillary sign here. I haven't been moving around a lot in the area but the only Hillary sign I've seen that I can remember seeing was on McKnight road near Ross Park Mall and it had a Trump sign beside it.
Voted in Bedminster township, Bucks county (North of Doylestown) with the wife around 9 am. Wife noted that no one was taking the democratic sample ballot, only the republican one. Our district is around 60/40 R/D normally I would guess.
Did not see any Hillary wear, saw a few “make America great again” hats, all worn by older men. Folks were not jolly, kind of a grim atmosphere.
Buddy at work voted in central Montgomery county (Lansdale). He mentioned that at the poll there was only the republican sample ballot, no democratic sample ballot. First time he has seen the Dems missing.
Based on a few conversations, at least in north Bucks and central Montgomery counties, the trump ground game is more organized them the democratic ground game. The folks have received Emails and calls from the republican side, virtually nothing from the Dem side. These were unaffiliated voters.
Welcome to FR.
Looks like parts of Philly are already at it:
Sounds like the guy has some sort of voter fraud role in DJT campaign.
Township south of Easton.. very busy, just like 2012.
I saw a group of Indians, looking a bit nervous. First time I saw Indians. You never know, Hindus came here to escape Islam, so maybe a good sign. Maybe not, maybe they were muslims. But No head scarves. So I’m thinking Hindu. If they voted Hillary they are dumber than dirt.
The T is the key....
If assumptions are correct, massive turnout should be visible in the T.. .far beyond anything in the past 3 decades.... If this happens, Trump is easily topping 3M votes.
OMG.
That Mike Ronman guy is saying that machines in Philly already had votes on it before the polls opened.
And what about Trump pollwatchers having their certiicates physically grabbed from them.
This is nuts.
This is what I would expect..
T turnout is going to be BIG... if my assumptions are correct, you are going to see the T sections of PA turn out like you have never, ever seen.
R’s have never put 3M votes in the box EVER in PA.. and I fully expect Trump to hit this number, if not much higher when all is said and done... and to do it, turnout in the T is going to be very very noticeably higher across the entire state.
