Don't just say, "Big turnout in Lehigh County." Tell us some demographic context and voter makeup for your area.
North Miami-Dade County.
My precinct has a 48-45 Dem Registration edge. Pretty good turnout in early morning from good demo’s. East of here, there are heavier Dem precincts with a 60-30 Reg. edge due to Demo, and they report moderate turnout, but steady flow of people. Not the mad houses of 08’ and 12’.
We’re about 65% Republican here in Teller County, Colorado. I think most people voted by mail.
70 minute lines in downtown Salt Lake City, young hip crowd mostly
People in Kentucky showing up with portable oxygen.
7th Congressional District Virginia
Chesterfield County - don’t know party affiliation data but Chesterfield has always gone Repub.
Usually light voter turn-out
Manchester HS - light
Bailey Bridge MS - just down the road - 11 AM - no room in the parking lot - packed!
Just voted TRUMP in ultra-blue Baltimore, MD.
I walked to the polls and unlike 2008 and 2012 I did not see a single yard sign.
Also, the line was much shorter than I remember from past presidential elections.
Possible lack of enthusiasm for “the Witch”?
Of the 15 people in front of me waiting to cast their ballot... I saw 4 Red shirts.
2 Men, 2 Women!
Also, I was surprised that signing in was much more stringent than past elections.
I was asked for my name, then full address, then date of birth.
In the past I was just asked for my name and they would then show me the roll and ask if that was me.
Also, first time I ever saw the Republican candidate on top of the ballot.
Maybe the result of having a Republican Governor?
Bottom line, not seeing much enthusiasm at all for The Witch even in ultra-Blue Baltimore City!
I got up early today, because I’m excited for Election Day! I am feeling positive about a TRUMP win!
We voted early/absentee.
But, I will add that up here in the Idaho Panhandle George Soros has spend lots of money trying to unseat local state representatives and replace them with liberal progressive social anarchists.
We are glad to be helping him waste some of his money.
Pretty funny. Where I live in rural KY, they saw me walk in and turn to my name in the book for me to sign and say, “Hi Rob. Is your wife voting today? I said she’d be in later and told them we needed to have them over for dinner soon.
I’m tellin’ ya, this Mayberry life is incredible!
There are several threads already dedicated to particular states. You might swing by those for the states that you’re interested in.

I live on the super-left Upper West Side of Manhattan (25/75 R/D). Voted at 7:30 this morning. Line was 30 min long, seemingly more than they were expecting, and I’ve heard similar reports of long lines from other Manhattanites. I would like to think that there are enough good conservatives upstate to counterbalance the rootless single women and DINK households here.
Upper part of Bucks County Pa checking in. My township voted in primaries as Trump 601, Cruz 240, Kasich 150. On Dem side it was Clinton 320, Sanders 340. So given Cruz’s support for Trump I’d say the Donald will do well. I had to wait over an hour in line this AM. Older folks in line said they’d never seen such turnout. Several people left the line due to commute time pinch so that means the seniors will rule
Red suburb of a deeply blue Maryland. Heavy turnout at poll opening, settled down after an hour into medium/light fluctuations. I was canvassing for Trump and state candidates on what started as a frosty morning, though it has warmed up.
High percentage of encouragement, thumbs up, handshakes, good mornings. Of course, there were a number without eye contact (Hill voters, no doubt). 2 kids mistook me for Donald Trump, with my MAGA hat, khakis and blazer, with tie, and wool trenchcoat.
I greeted all that I could, most were pleasant in reply, though a few perfunctory. When I detected Trump support, my laugh-gaining retort was “it’s a great day to be deplorable!” The most enthusiastic to share their support with me were middle-aged, blue-collar types, and younger males. Middle aged women were largely in support of Trump as well, as well as people with accents (Asians & eastern European). Young, female, nursing types, seemed the most standoffish. A number of black voters were very chatty and polite with me, though none came outright in support for Trump. I offered a blessed day to all departing voters.
The two negative receptions I had were a rabbinical looking fellow, who politely greeted, but said “not today” upon seeing my sign. Fair enough. Then there was a nasty older cuck, full of outright anger who said “I wouldn’t vote for that man if he were the last one in the world.” I replied, “I’m sorry to hear of it, but have a great day anyway.”
stafford county Va..... maybe 30 people in line, all over 40, only 2 minorities. last 2 elections when Obola was running, long lines, young people and every other person in line was a minority.
so maybe that’s good? there was a campaigner outside passing out “sample ballots”,(for Hill) and some guy walking in front of me told her to MYOB. lol.
Just heard from my daughter who works across from Trump Tower. She said protests and sirens going on all morning up and down the street but I’m not seeing anything in the MSM.
If you happen to hear about anything getting out of hand, please let me know.
Thanks, stay safe and GO TRUMP!
I'm jealous.
Indiana 3rd district, Republican. Polls opened at 6 AM, long line.
