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.
Just finished working polls in small township located within Chester County, PA. Excellent job done by entire voting support team – on BOTH sides of the aisle. Friendly conversation between opposing parties in front of polling station. It appears majority of walk up voters are voting against DEATH-O-CRATS. Majority of mail-in ballots are FOR DEATH-O-CRATS.
I just voted in Redlands, CA. Poling place did not have a long line but was busy. Very efficient. Redlands is conservative, but they redistricted us some years ago with our crazy neighbor San Bernardino and our district went blue. We shall see what happens.

Voted this morning and posted in the 10am thread that there was a line out the door and down the sidewalk in front of our little town’s library. We are a small community of 1500 in South Central PA in a heavy red county. In 2016, when I voted there were only two or three people outside the door. Not a long line at all. Drove by at 6:45pm and the line was just as long as it was this morning.
I’m in a precinct on the edge of Dane County, one of the plenty along the edge that voted almost exactly 50/50 in 2016 (I think there ended up being ~37 more votes for Clinton, out of a little over 2,200 votes, which is almost as conservative as anywhere within Dane County gets)… Anyway, I was voter #6 and there was quite a high turnout at the 7am opening… when I walked out, there was already a line in front of the door and along the sidewalk wrapping around the side of the building, and the line was not social distancing… I figured at the time that it was higher turnout than other elections. Then my parents said that they were either 2500s or 2700s (I don’t remember), but that already beats the roughly 2200 that turned out in 2016, and that was before people got out of work for the last few hours… and that’s for an area of the county that has not seen a vast population increase or anything (out in the country), so turnout is definitely up in my precinct…
I also happen to drive by a downtown Madison precinct on my way to work, and both going into work AND leaving from work it was a complete ghost town… maybe a couple of people outside both times… obviously, they all would’ve voted early since that’s a 90% Clinton / 5% Trump (5% others) precinct…
Delta Junction, Alaska, sleepy town of the north was wide awake and voting. Efficient work at the polls and lines not seen before.
Just closed a polling station in Cumberland County, PA. Excellent turnout. Approaching 80%. No significant issues all day.
After my post this morning about my “dropped in” ballot at my Sacramento grocery store Dropbox NOT having been received, I went to work for several hours. Still not counted at 4:30, I went to fill out a provisional ballot my local precinct. No lines, no problems, okay to file the provisional, but only the first one counted would be entered.
Tonight former Prime Minister of Denmark talked about Joe Biden on Danish Television:
“I don’t think he (Joe Biden) fits into the MeToo-concept. My two daughters worked at the Copenhagen demoracy-Summit 2018, where Joe Biden was visiting, and they can completely confirm that he is very physical”
