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.
Family members voted 7 am Kenosha County Wisconsin. Already lines. When driving also saw heavy line at another Kenosha county polling location.
I’m in Pennsylvania, outside of Philly to the north. Our regular polling place, a church, was closed for this election and they had us sharing a large polling spot at an elementary school with many other wards (? or state districts). It appears that the polling places that were at churches and synagogues were closed and they sent everyone to public schools, instead.
Anyway, the turnout for my little district seemed to be about the same as usual. I voted around 9:00 and I didn’t have to wait more than a couple of minutes to vote. There were two or three people behind me. Very much as it used to be at the church for that time. There were some lines for the other districts, there, but nothing crazy.
They were driving me nuts with the stupid Wuhan virus rules. Idiots directing people to stand on marks (arrows) and making a joke of the whole thing, really. The actual ballots were the same ones they used last time. Paper ballots that they had us mark with sharpies. At least, this time the ballots were one sided. In 2016, they had the same setup but the ballots were two-sided, so the sharpies bled through and made a real mess of things. It was a mockery of a ballot.
They also had the same machine we put the ballots into when we were done. It didn’t show what votes were going to be tabulated from the ballot. It just ate the ballot and that was that. Ridiculous. Then the idiot poll workers tried to give me “I Voted!!” sticker and were perplexed when I said I didn’t want it.
All in all, the polling station looked like normal, which it shouldn’t have if so many people had sent mail-in ballots and early voted (which had been going on for some time before).
Lancaster county is Trump country. Reports from 3 polling locations – way higher than normal turnout.
PA is going RED! We love our President and despise our Governor.
Upstate SC. Waiting to vote in longest line I’ve ever seen in 25 years. Weather is beautiful, nary a cloud. ?
Got to the polling station about 7:10. Line was around the building. Took about 50 minutes to get in the building to vote. Saw several obvious Trump voters ( MAGA hats, 45 t-shirts) and one BLM mask. There weren’t any Trump flags or groups but there was a Democrat table with signs that said “democrat s check in here”. I don’t know what that was about unless they are telling their sheep how to vote on everything. I didn’t see anyone going to the table.
I don’t know how unusual the lines were. I usually vote after work and sometimes early but I’ve never seen lines like that. I think I got the morning rush so I’ll check back and see if it’s still going later.
This was small town east central Florida.
Dem table in the polling area during a general election? That sounds weird as he’ll to me.
I’d report that.
It was just outside “the zone” so I think it was ok. I just thought it was pathetic that they need to control their own voters. Never did see anyone visit the table.
I agree, weird. Does FL have same-day registration?
Suspicious Cat engaged!
Biggest crowd I have ever seen by far. Solid republican area.
MtnBrook AL (essentially Birmingham) — in line at 0610– 20th or so in line…by 0630 the line waiting to vote is 150 yards long…all still very orderly and polite. Never seen turnout like this before.
I’m in Scranton, PA. I waited in line for about 45 mins starting at 730am. This poll location normally doesn’t have a line. The workers needed to process all of the mail in ballots that needed to be forfeited at the polling place. This took time and seemed to be a bit chaotic. Otherwise the experience was smooth.
Maybe you can help find corn pop to help verify Joe’s account of things.
YES!!!!!!!!

Of course the guy takes the sign “down,” then leaves it 15 feet away — message side out — for everyone to see.
Columbus, Ohio suburb. Over 100 people in line when polls opened at 6:30. Expecting a huge red turnout. By noon today will have five sons all voting Trump, including three first time voters. Their excitement to vote for the reelection of our great president was off the charts.
Small Town Southwestern Maine. Very crowded at the town hall. No room to park in the parking lot. There were many voting booths set up so there was not a long wait to get my ballot; however, I had to wait in a line of 20 or so to have my ballot scanned. It took longer to get out than to get in.
Ground reports from family members: All positive.
Long line this morning (200+) people at suburban Columbus, OH voting location. One hour wait.
In NYC, no lines at Gramercy Park voting location (18th St, Manhattan). Walk in walk out.
In East Dallas, TX. No lines at local voting location.
Did all the Democrats vote early?
I’m hoping they were too lazy and fearful of Xi’s Disease that they will not end up voting at all…
Loving these reports of light turnout around the country in solid blue places, and the opposite in ours…
I voted early last week. But everything I’ve seen posted locally in blueMA from friends has matched this trend so far…
All we can realistically do in blueMA is hope to pump up the (P.R. value only) popular vote with a minority red wave here…
Busy here with lots of people out in our mountain town in southern California. Wearing my maroon and gold (a shade of red) official U of Minnesota Golden Gopher Alma Mater socks to support the entire state of Minnesota going red today! Go Gophers! Bring Trump home!
Went to vote, worker said needed a mask. Nope, have a mask, it’s called immune system. Called secretary of state and do not need mask to vote. Lines are long and live in red state. God speed! ???❤
Just voted Trump in Greenville, SC! Huge turnout. My wife and I just moved here a few months ago, but her cousin told us she hasn’t seen the turnout like this before, and she’s lived here for over 60 years.
SC-02 same for turnout.
Hopefully a big turnout for President Trump and Nancy Mace in SC-01 (Katie Arrington district).
My little corner of IL (collar county to Cook Co), no waiting, no lines. Plenty of parking spaces. There was a delay in getting my ballot as someone ahead of me spoiled a ballot and needed a new one, (always a slow down for that as no one really knows what to do). 9 voting booths open. People just wear masks to avoid confrontation. Plenty of hand sanitizer.
And a totally new crew for the election jobs….which I find strange…the old guard is gone–they had been doing the election job for years and years. All new.
In fact, my precinct looked like any old every day election. Yet the precinct grew from 400 in 2000, to over 1600 in 2012 (its even bigger now). My precinct is small, typically younger families.
I voted for some dude from Queens….
SC District 2 – Represented by Joe Wilson of “you lied” at Obama SOTU address fame.
Polling place moved from small church to the larger local school so they could social distamce. Packed in the morning. People left and came back after the morning rush. Steady stream of people while we were there. Wife voting for the first time in years. Biggest turnout I’ve ever seen.
My oldest will get to vote in 2024.
Talk about “Malarkey”
FOX (sandra smith) was talking with Ari F
comparring how many times
both Obiden and President Trump campaigned in/went to certain states
and how much each have spent campaigning.
~>She (and he) failed to compare HOW MANY PEOPLE were in attendance.
FOX ~>s ucks bigggggly
biggggggly for sure!
Ugh…. Ari can be fair… and then so disappointing! Differences in the size of the rallies was very important to point out!
North central Arkansas here
VSGPDJT has AR. Traveled about 100 miles up to a favorite country bacon smokehouse on Sunday and we saw 50 plus Trump signs before we saw our first Hiden sign.
Early voting in our county was way up. Nearly 1/3 of our normal (total) voters went to the courthouse and early voted rather than wait until today. My wife, mother-in-law and I will be voting this afternoon at our small rural precinct. They’ll likely ask us to have some late lunch while we are there; they are our friends/neighbors.
Looks like it’s time to go put out some hay for the cows. Gotta love living the good life in the hills of AR.
MAGAZINE 2020
Stay Strong
MAGA not magazine
Rural Sullivan County, NY here. Went to vote at 6 AM, had to stand in line 1/2 hour which is very unusual for our small polling station. Friends went to a different polling station about a mile away at 6:30 and the line was wrapped around the building. They could not wait as they had to get to work, so they will go later.
My daughter is in rural Orange County and went to vote at dawn. Longer line than she has ever seen in that area. There were over 100 people ahead of her in line.
Also in NY. Appreciate the post…things could get interesting in NYS.
Gainesville, FL: There were two people at the polling place with mail-in ballot incidents. The first was told by the check-in person that he had received a mail-in ballot. The voter said he had shredded that ballot.
The second had brought his mail-in ballot with him to use as a key to fill out the in-person ballot. They told him he had to give them his mail-in ballot, but that he could take a picture of it to use as his key if he wanted. He was agreeable to that, but insisted that the mail-in ballot be torn up, which they did. (I got the impression that tearing it up was part of the procedure anyway, but this voter wanted to see it destroyed with his own eyes.) Apparently from the time he filled in the mail-in version he had changed his mind about something.
So in my 15-20 minutes inside the polling place, there were two problems.
I’m amazed that credit card companies keep fraud to a rounding error, and government entities suffer rampant fraud. It can’t be the state of technology; it has to be the will of those in charge.
Credit card companies lose money with fraud and politicians lose power without fraud.
I don’t see your examples as “problems”, but rather voters not researching the process.
In Stafford County, VA, suburb of Washington, DC, there is a steady stream of voters this morning. Noticed while walking into and when leaving that people walked over to the Republican table but no one stopped by the Democrat table. Just a bit of anecdotal info.
Wake Co. NC Just got home from voting in person at a local community center. I walked right in. No line. I was the 60th person to have voted so far today. Last election there were over 100 people waiting in line to go inside. All the Trump signs were knocked down along the walkway into the building, I righted them right back up.
I read machines not working in New York State. People must leave to go to work.
Also Pennsylvania, buildings not open in time.
Just arrived to wait in line in northeast Huntsville, AL, thank goodness I stopped to get a coffee, it’s an 1.5 hour wait. Much longer than 2016 in a precinct Trump carried 60 to 35. Based on the report I got from a friend at 6:30, polls open at 7, it’s probably been like this all morning.
We have a mask mandate, thanks China Kay, and it’s mixed 50/50. I don’t think that’s necessarily an indication, some people are probably just used to it.
I think the monster vote that Sundance felt out in 2016 is showing up. Like others have said, people probably had some reservations about Trump based on the media spin.
Hey Eric! I’m in the Gurley/OCR area! Glad to hear of your report. When I get into Huntsville, I see very little signage in the Southeast YMCA area and we saw more Doug Jones signs in Twinkenham a month or so ago. Very few Tuberville or Trump. I wondered if Huntsville is changing but your post makes me feel better!
Rural Somerset County PA. Absolute crush at precinct. Police needed to direct traffic. Unlike anything in the last 50 years. Turnout is unreal. And they aren’t voting for Biden…
Is there enough rural votes in PA to overcome whatever cheating
happens in Philly and possibly Pittsburgh?
IMO absolutely yes.
Love your opinion and hope it is right!!!
Small town in LA, (Lower Alabama)
Went to vote at 8am and there must have been over 200 waiting. Fortunately, a man came by to ask if there were any old farts that wanted to go to the head of the line. Left the polling site at 8:20. MAGA!
UA here (upper Alabama) Same scenario – Have NEVER seen the line wrap around the entire church polling station before!
Will be moving there in 2 years. Great place
I voted yesterday, even though I had plans to vote today. There is a line about 100 people long here In Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. Many people are coming out vote today never have these lines before.
Do they still have the hammer and sickles painted on the freeway signs in Boyle Heights?
I voted yesterday, even though I had plans to vote today. There is a line about 100 people long here In Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. Many people are coming out vote today never have these lines before.
Southeast MN here (CD-2). Polls opened at 7:00. There was a line when I showed up at 6:58. It grew while I was voting.
My local county BPOU is having a chili feed tonight. I’ve got three pans of rolls in the fridge. They were a big hit in 2016.
a friend of mine says he is getting continuous texts detailing voter fraud around the country.
i said that while small-scale fraud is awful and should be dealt with, it’s the large-scale, wholesale cheating that is key here—i.e. 10,000 fake written in ballots etc
im specially worried about Texas still…If we see crazy numbers from there, we will know that they went all-in on cheating effort
what if we get numerous precincts reporting over 100 percent voting? what happens then?
I know, I know, 45 has this..
praying that is so
All voter fraud is bad. But, what’s happening in Philly and Pittsburgh- the overt electioneering (signs hanged right outside polling doors- https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/steal-philly-man-caught-handing-democrat-literature-voters-line-vote/ and https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/caught-video-philadelphia-poll-watcher-prevented-entering-polling-place-video/).
The posts like that Tweet and others sharing how/where to report fraud also serve as a deterrent to those who only may be thinking of helping break the law…I’m sure some are seeing how vigilant the conservatives are being this time around in watching and observing, less will partake in the cheating.
I don’t care that much about the electioneering garbage. I don’t care if there were 100 Biden signs hung at my polling place, it wouldn’t change my vote one bit.
It doesn’t bother you but for the people in some of those districts the people doing the electioneering are there to do two things (including the signage they put up):
1. Ensure those voting see their faces. These people, some of them, are enforcers for bad people in those neighborhoods. They are there to have their faces seen and to make sure the voters see their faces, and
2. The people voting are to see those electioneering as a reminder that you better vote for the guy we tell you- or else.
That’s why it’s not a good thing and needs to be squashed.
GOD “has this”, PDJT is his selected vessel.
And when GOD is acting, none can prevail against him.
Relax,…breathe. We are seeing the lefts final charge, lemming like, off the cliff.
I agree Dutchman! I feel calm about the outcome but excited to see it happen. There is no man like DJT and God prepared him for this time and led him through every battle he has faced 100% victoriously. It is not going to come crashing down unless it truly is God’s will for our country to go down, which to me means Jesus will be returning sooner rather than later. If that happens, let’s get as many people turned to the Gospel as we can before it happens; that will be our calling.
Praying.
Huge turnout in Oxford, MS. I think the people of MS understand what they are voting for. It is tyranny versus liberty as Dr. Larry Arnn describes in the WWII lectures for Hillsdale. Biggest turnout I have ever seen. Lots of older people smiling wearing American flag attire ??!!
Beautiful town, loved it there in the 80’s when at Ole Mis.
My husband and I have gone twice to the polls with our kids but the lines were so long we have to go separately. It would b a long 40 min? Wait….lines all the way to the road. I’ve never seen anything like it. West Michigan. Hopefully they’re all voting for Trump?❤
Voted in Macomb Twp, MI. Short line, no wait. Wife had to remove her Trump 2020 hat in order to enter. No complications, watched my vote register in ballot machine. Hopefully all the PDJT voters get out there and make a difference.
I watched mine register too! This is great! Proud american here in pittsburgh, pa!
Longest lines ever by at least 500% here in Edmond OK.
1:40 minute wait
Western OK here. I voted absentee cuz I thought I’d drive people to the polls. My 90yr old Dad went to vote and said, ‘It’s about like always (turnout) except people are voting quickly, like they are voting straight ticket.’
Coastal SC town.Have voted here in 9 previous Presidential elections.Polls opened at 7:00,got there at 6:45.Line already out into the road.112 people ahead of me and when I left about the same number in lnne.I have never seen a line like this before.Very red precinct.Red wave a coming!
Berkeley County had one in person absentee location open on Saturday at the elections office in Moncks Corner. People waited up to 5 hours, even though voting had been available since October 5. The news reports all have people waiting in line.
I voted October 23 using walk-up absentee and verified through scvotes.org that my vote was received.
Just voted in The Woodlamds TX north of Houston. Our precinct had 70% early vote and they expect near 100% turnout. Voting was a breeze. Brought the Trump Flag Waivers some Trump 2020 cookies ❤️❤️
Have some family in Spring. Love The Woodlands, absolutely beautiful there. I assume lots of MAGA there ?
I live in The Woodlands too!! ?
I work at a high school that is a polling location. Not many people voting here this morning but like you said I think the majority voted early!
Im in Montgomery County, TX as well (not Woodlands though)… early voted last week.. no line (it was raining). Mo-Co is pretty red (for folks wondering).. the poll workers said early-voting was pretty strong other than that rainy day I was there.
Weather is amazing here today, so I would expect lots of day-of voting.
That’s about as close to Houston as you want to get! ?
SE PA (Chester county) got to the polls at 7am with my family of 4. Biggest lines I’ve ever seen in my 10 years of voting. Cold and windy, they were handing thermal blankets out. Waited OVER 2 HOURS in line to vote!!! Mask inside the building, but outside line was about 50/50 mask wearers to no mask wearers. I’d like to believe that’s an indicator. This is a philly suburb county and Biden signs outnumber trump signs maybe 2:1. My family and a few neighbors voted STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN. God bless President Donald J. Trump!
Wisconsin Democrats do not appear to be hitting their vote-by-mail and in-person early voting goals.
What they don’t realize it that a lot of Democrats are voting for Trump. Look at his rallies, about 25% are Democrats. At a Trump rally! There’s a good chance 15-25% of Dem early voting is for Trump.
Trump is a paradigm shift.
That’s exactly what I’ve been saying (hoping). You can’t base anything on the party affilation of voters this time.
Juwst had a gal approach my apartment bldg, i was in the wondow fixing my blinds, she had on a biden shirt, i had on a women for trump shirt, she saw it, looked at me, i smiled, she smiled and she gave me a thumbs up! Mmmm????? Odd. Guess she was trying to register me! Lol. Way tofun here!
It’s a shy Trump voter!!
Absolutely a beautiful day here in rural west Tennessee .
Voted this morning for FOUR MORE YEARS of the greatest president of my life Donald J Trump!!
No line no problems at our polling station.
I’m not familiar with the political makeup of every county, town, etc, so when posters say long lines or high (or low) turnout, I don’t know what that means for MAGA (yes I know GOP tends to vote election day, but still…). Would be great if posters could include more insight on what turnout likely means in their areas.
Yes if your area is normally solid red or solid blue please indicate.
It helps those of us attempting (and mostly failing ?, not good at it, but MAGA friend wants me to try) to read tea leaves. Thank you!
Bucks County PA – I left my house at 6:30 AM to get to the polling place before 7AM opening. For some reason the school in my back yard is a polling place but not my polling place. That school parking lot was filled and there was a line of at least 50 people that stretched down the street. My polling place (at a junior high) had no parking spots available (all were filled). I was 160th in line. I looked at the book where they wrote my name for my number. PA has these scanners that you put your ballot into. There were three scanners on a table. The workers went to adjust the table and the legs on one side collapsed and the scanners crashed to the floor. They manages to save one from crashing. I voted on that machine. Hopefully the other scanners aren’t broken.
Report that

Incident Report
defendyourballot.formstack.com
Macomb County Michigan
I have been voting in the same place for 23 years. I arrived at the polls at 6;45 this cold morn. The line was around the block, twice. It was 38 degrees. You need to know that there is never a line. NEVER. I am in poor health, so I left. I can’t stand in the cold like that. I went back at 9am. Surely the line would be gone, people off to work and such. Nope. Still a line all the way around the building. I almost gave up. I just bowed my head and prayed for strength. A nice young man who worked there came out and asked us what precinct we were in. There are 4 precincts who vote in my building. God smiled on me this morning, as my precinct had no line, and I was told to go right in. I have never seen it like this, not even in 2016. Michigan is going RED. MAGA.
Awwwww….
Well done! And nicely written.
God bless you and thank you!
? well done!
God bless you motownpatriot for your perseverance in getting your vote in. Thank you for your patriotism! And blessings to the nice young man who can out to help you all.
God smiled on you this morning and I pray, as I’m sure all of us are, that He smiles on the United States of America with the re-election of President Trump — by a yuge landslide — at the end of this day.
God bless you my Deplorable Chump. It is up to us now to save our Country.
HERE in the Mitten….I have never seen such long lines ANYWHERE. EVER. for people waiting to vote. NEVER. And in the middle of a “terrifying planDEMick”… people dont care. They want their opinions to be known! I have a friend working the polls today. Will get a lot more info from her later on and update.
Sounds great but where in the world is “the Mitten”?
Local names in America are pretty cool… writing here from suburb outside “Beantown” (Boston).
The Mitten is the lower peninsula of Michigan–it looks like your left hand if you’re wearing a mitten. People often point to a spot on their hand to explain where they live!
Oh that’s fun! I do know the “Panhandle” of FL…
Amazing what I learn from Treepers…
Darien CT- no wait at 10am but steady foot traffic in and out.
Clinton won 2016 by 5942-4625 but down ballot Rs won.
Not a Trump sign in town. People want to be proper and care more about image etc,..
Hard to judge how the crowd was leaning. Jeep in front of me had NRA sticker. Made me happy. I wore my bright red “enjoy capitalism” shirt.
This is Farmville, VA area.
I live in very RED Johnson County, Indiana (immediately south of blue Indy). My wife and I stood in line for an hour a couple of weekends ago for early voting. Indiana has voter ID requirements for everyone. We also have new machines that receive your vote electronically but produce a paper record for review, and which paper record is retained within the machine. (it’s on a scroll.)
My son was at the polls early this morning and reports that he stood in line for an hour. Subsequent reports indicate that the lines have shortened to 5 or 10 minutes.
Indiana will go for Trump. Take that to the bank.
I don’t think anyone believes Biden will win Indiana. Since Indiana polls close early, I’m curious to see how big Trump’s margin will be. He won by 19 in 2016 if I remember correctly. If he wins by 10, it’s not a good sign for the Great Lakes region. If he wins by 20 again, I assume we have it in the bank.
long lines here in oklahoma city.
i will vote after work.
the community center where i work is a polling place today.
the main church building where it would normaly be held is still without power due to our massive ice storm.
so we moved it to our community center because we have power here.
line started this morning before we opened and has not ceased.
I was at the polls before they opened at 7, long line. In Saline, Michigan, outside Ann Arbor. Most people I have ever seen.
South Carolina… person who is registered but has never voted before is Voting today for Trump, Graham, and Mace. Hour long lines here so far.
Just outside Montgomery Alabama….Every single person I know voting for freedom. One close friend was voting Biden. I convinced her not to, though she “can’t bring herself to vote for President Trump”, she has opted to not vote. That’s half a win. ???
I’m 30 minutes from Montgomery. Everything I am hearing is massive turnout. Lines to vote where usually there are none. We knew Alabama would easily go to Trump, but I think the word is out to make the vote massive and win the popular vote too.
I can attest to one young man who’s never voted before voting for Trump today, one older man who has never voted in a Presidential election voting for Trump today, a former bernie bro who has been redpilled voting for Trump today.
This should help Tuberville steal the seat from Doug Jones!
stealwin the seat..!Steal it my a**! The big money dems stole that seat from the people of Alabama for two years. We are reclaiming our voice is all. Kicking Dougie to the curb, and Tubs is on notice that he better be what he says he is, or out he goes.
Great work, thanks!
One less vote for Joke Hiden is a good thing. You did a great job! Thank you!
Update:
I’ve never had to wait in line to vote here, not even in 2016 Presidential election.
Our polling location is efficient And professional. Line is over 200 yards long. Almost everyone wearing red. Conversations are all Pro Trump.
My 18 year old son (Eagle Scout) just delivered his vote for freedom, a VERY PROUD DAY. Wife and I did the same. God Bless Y’all, and God Bless America!
