10:00am Election Day Ground Reports – What’s Going On….
The Conservative Tree House ^ | Nov 8, 2016 | sundance

Posted on 11/08/2016 7:51:26 AM PST by Mechanicos

One of the best ways to identify what’s going on in any area is a ground report from the people most familiar with it, that’s YOU. If you are voting today perhaps you would consider sharing a ground report from your town, city, neighborhood or voting precinct.

How’s the turnout? Any issues or concerns? What’s the overall climate amid your voting locales. Please feel free to share your personal perspectives in the comment section along with any links to any information you feel might be valuable or interesting. ...

I might be wrong, but, it seems like that’s a good sign in a hillary hot bed. No energy for the thick ankled dog face.

I voted just now (with my wife) in west Delray Beach (Palm Beach County). Very quiet there... only saw 2 other voters the whole time I was there, but a worker said they had long lines when they opened this morning.

I asked a worker if it was OK to have a candidate's sign right out front... he asked "which candidate?" and I said "Hillary". He sent someone out there to move it, and said they've been moving it every hour but a Hispanic woman keeps putting it back.

My step-son, a 40 year old autistic man, voted too (different precinct) for the first time in his life. He hasn't voted before because he doesn't understand politics really and can't read/write. But, years ago we lived in the Seattle area and he worked as an usher at the Seahawks stadium and once met Trump there. He was so impressed that Trump stayed and chatted with him for 15 minutes or so (about sports)... so he loves Trump and wanted to vote this year.

Fairfax County, Virginia, suburban Republican leaning precinct: Steady flow of voters, no line, Representatives of both parties outside, signs for both parties plus positions on local issues.

Vallejo, Ca.

Democrat/union stronghold.

No waiting. Much more people during primary. I’m guessing those were the Berners.

Nobody wearing red. Mostly older people.

Nothing weird with provisional ballots like during the primary.

Low turnout.

I voted an hour ago.

Maybe everybody voted early/mail in or not awake yet.

Low turnout IMO. 2008 was a long line. Took about an hour.

Signage in my neighborhood is almost nonexistent.

One Bernie sign.

Nothing else since our Trump sign was stolen.

Of course, I voted for Batman!

Trumping on and praying for a good outcome and safety of all voters regardless of who they are voting for.

Wow! An hour +?? And that’s at 10am when most people are at work. That’s great, it tells me a lot of people are coming out for Trump. Democrats wouldn’t do that, a lot do not like Hillary especially after she stole the nomination from Sanders. I added up all the states so far and I got Trump winning by a small margin if he takes Florida, but I think he’s going to blow Hillary out of the water. Like Trump says: This is a movement to take back our country and rational minded people are just going to overwhelm at the polls today. Would not surprise me in the least if he wins by a landslide.

Sadly our granddaughter is too young to vote. 16. But she’s gone from anti-trump to pro Trump due to Prolife issue.

Thank you for sharing the story about your stepson and Trump in the Seahawks stadium. There are so many stories about Trump’s kindness and interest in people, yet we only hear a handful and many bashing stories. Give your stepson a high-five and hug for me on his first vote - that’s awesome!

Best,
SC

p.s. I love my Seahawks! :-)

.@NateSilver538 just declared 2016 polls "less reliable than prior years." Seems someone has been saying that?

I would be bitterly disappointed with anything less than a landslide.

I’m sitting on the beach on Maui. No polling booths nearby. No Hillary signs. Partly cloudy. Light tradewinds. 80 degrees. Voted by absentee ballot in CA on the way to the airport.

Eat your hearts out!

Rural Northampton County, PA: Polls opened at 7AM. My wife and I got there at 6:30 AM. We signed in and waited. When we got there, about a dozen folks were already there. By time we left a bit after 7 AM, the line was out the door. I've not seen it so crowed in the 10 years I've been living here. Make America Great Again!

Can you get an idea as to how the voting is going in the North Minneapolis area Suburbs are doing?

Not sure which ones, but one or more are part of the same district that has Duluth in. I understand it is polling good for Republicans. Thus the reason Pence went to Duluth. It’s my childhood home town.

Other than 2010, the Democrats have won that Congressional district every election since the mid 1950’s.

If the Republican wins, then there is a great chance Trump will win Minnesota.
