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.
San Jose. We voted at our usual Public Library voting center when it opened at 7:00 am. Poll workers were polite and cheerful, as were the voters. Short line. Sign-in was on iPad this year instead of traditional ledger. Paper ballots have not changed, fill in the dot with a pen. What was new was immediate casting of ballots where you put your paper ballot in the large electronic scanner yourself, one sheet at a time, and it verifies that you have cast your ballot immediately.
Sounds like same voting method here in Newport Beach, CA. I always worry that if I don’t fill the box in between the lines, it will be discarded as a hanging chad. I carefully completed my ballot.
In blue state CA, even bluer LA county. New voting center in middle class area. Got there at 6:45… about 10 ppl in line. Once the doors opened at 7am about 20 ppl. Well-organized, unlike the past small churches polling areas. I noticed they even measured the distance from the building to some table setup with whatever they were they pushing. They had about 30 new voting machines. These machines had a paper ballot and you had to print out the ballot once you voted to check the printout was correct, then you press ‘cast vote’ and the paper rolls back into the machine. No chance of the machine flipping electronically… 🙂 No Trump hats or shirts, but my hope is CA flips red. That would be awesome!
btw, am in blue LA area, and still havent seen more than 1 or 2 Biden signs anywhere.
zero enthusiasm for him, for what thats worth
Voted thos am soon after polls opened in Huntington NY. Half and hour line. In all years of voting never had a wait or line. Hard to tell who was voting for who.
Southern Tier of NY. Early morning. Polls not overwhelmed but busier than four years ago as I recall. Pennsylvanian border a few minutes to my south. Get out and vote for Trump, Pennsylvania! We’ll need you to beat back the elites!
This needs to be reported. Did you do so?
I read somewhere that GOP and/or PDJT attorneys had been dispatched, not sure if true or status.
In deep blue No. VA. 8:30 am, no line at all.
One hour in a Illinois Poll Line, courtesy of our hapless Governor. Silly social distancing.
Voted by electronic ballot (do not trust anything paper). Straight R vote, and also opposed our Governor’s tax hike, which will be painful if he loses. Very professional process, no chance of fraud here.
I fully expect us in Illinois to be “punished” by our Governor with his threatened new Stay at Home Executive Order when President Trump wins. More lock-down and suffering but for President Trump it will all be worth it.
Have a great day folks.
I expect to be punished by Jay Inslee as well.
Inslee’s punishment days may be numbered. Wishing you a fine day from a fellow Washingtonian:)
Thank you for the report & standing in line. I can’t understand Democrat governors not wanting their states to do well economically & let people get back on their feet again except they’re Communists & sociopaths.
Hoping for GOP landslide in your state & everywhere else!!
DeplorableBrexitGuy
Wiil County here…I feel your pain. I felt great relief in voting Red. I think our POTUS knows the whole state is in pain. Let’s hope for an ‘intervention’ by POTUS. He is not happy with LIghtfoot, that is for sure.
My son and daughter-in-law voted for Trump today (this year my husband and I early voted ). They live in the suburbs outside of Tallahassee, Fl. This is what he said: “The election people said it was very busy, busier than the last few elections. RED WAVE”
Go Wakulla County!!! Used to live there for years!
Voted at my normal time, 9:00am, in SWFL. I’ve never had to stand in line and never seen all booths occupied. Judging from the line and the initial ballot receipts I saw the lady stick mine into, this one is off the scale. 92.5FM in Estero reported earlier that Lee County is also off the scale with lines. Same report for Collier.
Screw Palm Beach Co., Broward, and Dade…this side of the state is going wild.
(BPS: No Biden-Harris signs at all outside the precinct…they’re written us off)
In my deep blue state we’ve lost the secret ballot. No polling machines available. Had to write down my name, address and driver’s license number. They know how everyone voted and they know were we live for when they begin retaliations. Not a game.
Love to know where you are talking about. Don’t need specifics but generalizations could help us watch the socialists.
Rural polling place in Iowa. Voted at 8:30 AM CST. Had to wait in line 5 minutes…..first time I’ve ever had to wait at all since moving here. I was 184th voter. Poll place officials checked for photo ID and were courteous.
Just Voted Lets Go. Trump and R all the way.
Philadelphia…disgusting. What did we expect?

From Chattanooga, on our coldest morning of the season: Thirty-five minutes before the poll opened I was #26 in line. Demographics at-a-glance were 50% young whites, 50% older blacks, and me. Pretty representative of the district. (did I put a period or a comma between those two sentences? LOL)
An older black couple in front of me was dressed patriotically, but noticably in red. Even red hats, though appropriately non-political. They also weren’t engaging in much converstion with acquaintances who approached them. Just had to wonder…
I used the time standing in line to pray intercessively, taking my cues from the pray-the-vote site linked earlier in the treehouse. Thank you for posting that. I sent the link to every Christian I know, whether left-leaning or right-, with the simple message “One thing we can all do in unity…” Community healing cannot start soon enough, regardless of Election Week results.
After voting, I too noticed that the poll workers averaged much younger than in past elections.

Keep praying for God to protect every legally cast vote, and for God to confound and expose every attempt to manipulate election results. I’m also praying for God to open gates for those voting the way He desires for our nation, and to close gates for those voting (knowingly or not) against His desires. I trust God to get out His vote in His own ways. If He chooses to supress some votes… I don’t think Supreme Court Justice Roberts has any special standing in God’s court.
An interesting anecdote about the older black couple in red. This is in line with something a minority friend shared with me: the minorities who are Trump supporters for the most part are hush hush. Some even in public still act as if they will support Biden- due to fear. Fear of family, fear of their neighbors. He said he sees it in his own family. It’s an interesting comment to say the least from him.
But, but, but the liberals are tolerant and open-minded ?
A peek inside the Left’s box labeled “Diversity” reveals it’s filled with bodies of every size, shape, and color. Heads are kept in a drawer labeled “Generic / Interchangeable.”
You won’t be surprised to discover the “Diversity” box is quite small, once you remove the protective bubble wrap.
As I mentioned, I’m a first time poll watcher in CO Springs. My Dem counterpart is actually from Denver!
Getting ready to vote in ohio n
Very important. Please if VOTERS in MI WI MN and PA turn out for President Trump the ballgame is OVER ! Vote and Pray!! Vote and Pray!!! MAGA
AZ might be even more important. Get AZ and Trump may only need one of the states you mentioned.
Minnesota here! I did my part: straight R ticket! Hoping and praying MN wakes up and shakes off the shackles of the Left. Four years ago, I represented Trump at my precinct caucus. P{eople were very cold and unfriendly. DJT came in third–I believe his worst showing in the US. What an embarrassment! We definitely need to redeem ourselves.
Just got back from voting in Fayette County, PA. Line longer than has been in the past. Usually under 50 votes registered at this time. I was ballot 184. KAG!
Just an update to my earlier posting…. Poll worker indicated to me that I was the 54th person that had voted at that time (7:15 am) My husband came with. This was a satellite location…noticed they had only 3 electronic voting booths set up. Each voter was asked whether they preferred to vote paper or electronic. We get a paper print out that is placed in fax machine if using the electronic method. I took pics of both my electronic summary and the print out of my choices.
Below is my earlier post for reference sake:
Kansas suburb of the Kansas City Metro area:
Reporter stationed at arrowhead stadium indicated that voters are greeted by a cheerleader, but no lines of voters as of 7:30 am.
Downtown Overland Park, KS had at least one voting location with lines that started at 4:30 am for a 6:00 am open.
Olathe, KS no lines to vote at 7:00 am, but short line of 25-30 persons noted on our way out of voting location.
I arrived at 0710 at a more rural voting station for northern Greenville, SC (Travelers Rest). Parking lot full and road sides covered with vehicles. I was finished and leaving by 0845. I agree with comment above. About 1 in 10 were wearing a mask and I believe many of them had the visual aura of having latent leftist tendencies. I’ve voted @ this station, an elementary school, since 2014. I’ve never seen a crowd like this. There was a YUGE trailer parked beside the driveway with “The Silent Majority” signage and illustrations of various American Flags in detail. Apparently, since there was no displayed proclamation for one candidate or party, it did not violate SC voting law. However, it had the distinct appearance to me of implying a reminder to vote for RED.
SC law for political info is 200 feet outside any polling station period.
It’s 8 am here in Newport Beach, CA. Polls opened at 7 am. I walked over to my polling place. Got there around 6:45. Was 5th in line. By 7:00 there were about 25 people there. We sign in through a tablet computer, sign our name, and get a ballot that looks exactly like our mail in ballot. Black in the circles, then bring it to a machine that scans it in. Proudly voted for President Trump. When we left, there was no line at all.
In California, we have many polling stations and people can go to any one. They have been open about 2 weeks. Workers at my poll said yesterday was busy and they expect to be busy today. Lots of young people working the polls. It’s usually retired people.
I am very joyful today. I expect President Trump to win in a landslide. Biden is just a terrible candidate no matter how you slice it. I have great faith in the majority of Americans to figure that out.
While I am worried about election fraud when only half the citizens vote and the other half have ballots laying around everywhere with unscrupulous Democrats totally willing to fraudulently fill them out, I don’t think they have the ground game to overcome the landslide.
In a ironic twist, the fake polls actually lured Democrats into a false sense of security. They didn’t set up the ground game to ballot harvest on a mass scale. They have no enthusiasm. Being for something is so much more satisfying than being against something. Hopefully Trump will bring the down ballot candidates home as well. We can’t have Pelosi as Speaker ever again.
Have a joyful day with me. It’s going to be fun.
I live in McCommie-ry County Maryland. I got in and out with no line. Either people did early and mail inn voting or there was an early morning rush.
Nye County, Nevada
50 miles outside of Las Vegas, arrived at the polling place at 0600, (1 hour early) and the line was approx 100 people already. Spoke with a retired VN USArmy veteran (originally from Long Island, NY, who told me all of his family back there are voting for Pres Trump) in line until it opened. Voting / ID process went efficiently, I just left after signing the recall for our commie Gov Sissy. Lots of Pro-Trump buzz in the crowd, Many Trump flags and stickers in the parking lot.
The clerk did NOT take my signature at the polling place in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.
I insisted that she take my signature.
If the court case that says a signature is not required is overturned, my vote would not have counted.
Pennsylvanians — insist that you sign in at the polling place.
That happened in SC. The legislature met during the summer to expand absentee voting without a reason for this election due to the China Virus. They did NOT change any other requirements, such as a witness signature for the absentee ballots. Naturally, the dems took them to court and through the various levels it was don’t need witness, need, don’t need, until SCOTUS said you need it. One report said ballots mailed before the SCOTUS decision would be accepted either way. However, ballots after that are being thrown out and cannot be fixed.

Report that!!

550KFYI just reported a polling place in Fountain Hills AZ ran out of ink….. it’s heavily Republican….
Great news!
How is that great news? Maybe if you’re an anti-American.
They ran out of ink. I interpret that as—so many people came in person to vote that they ran out of ink.
Must be an AZ thing! In 2016 at my usually very quiet polling place during the Presidential Election–we were seeing a massive turnout–
Everyone was talking –the polling place they had been standing and waiting in line for–ran out of paper for machines and it was holding up voting. So….all the people drove an extra 12-15 miles to my polling place and voted!~
The other place did get more paper and it all went back to normal.
Az has been pushing the mail your ballots big time for the last couple of years.
They are not really publicizing as much the early in person voting—which I did.
I don’t think their push for mail in ballots is getting as much use as they want. Which is a great big—-Yaaaaaay! Too much room for fraud with mail in ballots—in my opinion.
So hopefully, this will give them a heads up to push early in person voting and open more locations for early in person next election.
Again—guess it is just an Arizona issue.
Report that, Kristin!

There are a lot of beautiful women in the world, but, as any married man knows, they don’t usually look that well put-together when they just roll out of bed. For most women, it takes time and effort to look really good, which is normal. That said, I think Melania is very unusual in that she seems to be one of those few women who really does look stunning all the time, no matter when you see her.
Prior to Melania, the best looking FLOTUS of my lifetime was Jackie Kennedy. Melania Trump puts her deeply in the shade, and the rest of the FLOTUSes by comparison look like the remainder of the field behind Secretariat in the 1973 Belmont Stakes. She is an incredible asset to President Trump even if she never opens her mouth, and a much greater one when she does speak. What a woman!
We voted early in person. Friends and others are reporting huge lines here in Central Maine.
I have been working the polls for early voting on Concord, NC. Was all set to work my precinct for today. The judge called me last night to say they won’t need me. She was having to let a few other workers go as well…the precinct only had 943 voters left who had not voted yet.
The precinct is in a more rural area east of Concord ( which is just north of Charlotte). Very red area for Trump. Will go by the precinct later to check if they are busy.
Report that, wareaglemom. Let Trump team know!!

Mason District, Fairfax County Virginia….Just outside the SWAMP.
No lines at all…which is a good thing! This is a Blue county.
I showed up in all RED, and saw elderly Asians hobbling in to vote.Its important to them! These people remember Vietnam, and they can’t stand Communism. The media screams that Virginia is not in play, but I still have hope.
Went to the 7/11 for coffee, still a bunch of workers that can’t speak english…Trump must win and save us up here in the socialist utopia!
+1 more Trump voter ballot cast in ND.
Why are we even doing this right now. Biden is disqualified. His sons laptop confirms what we already knew. Security Clearance?
Buyden is running but he won’t be president, at least not for long even if, God forbid, he is elected.
Security Clearance..? For a dem..? lol Didn’t ever seem to matter for Obama.. Why would it matter now?
Allegheny County, SW PA here. Walked up to my voting poll. Nobody there at this time. I think, and hope and pray the Dems gave up here in this little blue corner. Lol. Course one never knows! Stay positive treepers! Be of good cheer! JEsus lives!
MI CD 11, just voted. I went at 7:30am and line was too long outside – never seen that before and I hadn’t brought a coat (usually lines inside only). So returned around 9:45am, line a little shorter, but still outside. Waited about an hour to vote. By time leaving, line was less than 1/2 and was inside only. Everyone seemed to be of good cheer, only know 2 peeps in front of me were voting Trump. 1 Vet, and another housewife on disability.
Trump 2020! Landslide God willing!
Voter # 240, ballot # 245…
Could that be because some voters messed up their ballots and had to get new ones? Did you ask about the discrepancy?
It was due to spoiled ballots, had 1 while I was standing there. 😉
In MIchigan they issue ballots in order and the vote is counted in order of submission to the machine. Likely just means that people were taking longer to fill out their ballot. If you aren’t voting straight ticket then there is like 20 races you have to vote for. President, Senate, Congressional District, State Senate, State House, County Commisioner, Sheriff, UofM board of regents, MSU Board of Trustees, Wayne State Board of Governors, etc.
Have voters I love in PA. Received text from family that Philly businesses were boarding up buildings yesterday getting ready for the election. This boarding up occurred AFTER the Walter Wallace rioting so it’s new, expanded areas. Pray for Pennsylvania.
Fact that most seem to gloss over with knife-welding mentally ill Walter Wallace’s shooting rather and instead of ‘tazing’. The family wanted an ambulance transport…..so why didn’t they drive Walter Wallace themselves? Because he was dangerous. The ambulance drivers don’t want to be stabbed either. That’s why the cops came. Duh!
“A video of the fatal encounter raised questions about why officers approached a man in an apparent mental health crisis with guns drawn and why they did not first try to subdue Wallace with a less lethal weapon. Authorities have said the officers were not armed with Tasers due to budget restrictions that have prevented widespread distribution of the devices.”
No reason to click WaPo unless you want to read more Biden suck-up BS, but this is the story the quote above came from:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10/27/philadelphia-unrest-police-shooting-walter-wallace/
The police body cam video will be released tomorrow and will put the lies about that to rest. Indeed. The FAMILY called the police because he was out of his mind with a knife. They felt the need for police protection….not a social worker!
“Authorities have said the officers were not armed with Tasers due to budget restrictions that have prevented widespread distribution of the devices.”
But defunding the police is a great idea! \s
things quiet and peaceful in Iowa… waltzed right in an voted… in and out in 10 minutes…
If you vote in South Carolina and are disabled or age 65 and older, you can vote from your car. I definitely avoided a long wait when I did that on October 23.
There was an article on a news site yesterday about how people moving to SC from CT, NY, etc., are bringing their liberal views and votes with them. Yankee, go home!
Wife and I just moved to SC from Massachusetts. Voting with our feet. These Yankees are bringing two very red votes with them!
In laws in SC – my wife would like to go back there. We’ve had enough of my left coast state which has been overrun by Californians bringing their disease with them. Last time we were in SC I noted (midlands) the population boom and rise in housing prices. Got on youtube and was watching “moving to SC..” videos – several minutes into each one I heard “…which is why we moved from California…” My fear is SC will get wrecked by the CA locusts like so many other formerly conservative states which are being taken over and subjected to homelessness, drugs, crime, poverty and liberal socialist policies the Californians bring with them wherever they go.
I hope no one is doing that!
In line in Tulsa Oklahoma.
Unusually large line. 5x last year
Not normal !
Western Delaware County, Pennsylvania. According to wife about a 45 minute wait (will go and vote when she comes back) but line moving along, they have always been fairly efficient in this township. Breezy so need to wear coats especially when in line outside but not as cold as it was Monday.

Not throwin’ away my vote??? Long lines in west Michigan
Used to live just a couple miles from Ferrysburg. Born and raised there, been in SC for 15 years now.
Also in West Michigan (Grand Haven), line was out the door but not too long. I got there around 9:15 and a gentleman exiting said I had picked the right time. Apparently the line was very long when the polls opened at 8. I was probably in line for about 30 min. I’d say the line was about twice as long as it was in 2016.
30ish minutes in line in an AL precinct Trump carried 60 to 35. Line estimated at 1.5 hours when I arrived, it’s now longer as I’m coming into finishing lap 1 of the building.
Machines in Spalding County fixed as of about 20 minutes ago
Is this a Dem controlled area? We need to keep track of the news stories detailing voting machines down, booths down, ballot issues, etc….and we need to see if they all are from historically Dem run areas, districts, and townships.
No worries. I know someone who just voted there. Apparently, somebody didn’t know how to program the machines properly. Spalding is a 50/50 area. Maybe slightly red.
Trump won that area bigly in 2016.
Voted early in RI. Drove by my polling site at 8:30 and only a few people in line.
I’m in Tucson. The polls opened at 6a.m. I voted at 6:45 a.m. There were maybe 4 other voters there. No waiting lines. Everything seemed normal, quiet. The only change was that there was a different ballot depository container than in years past.
It’s really good weather, today, to get out and vote. Sunny…about 99 degrees this afternoon.
Small town in Middle Tenneessee here, long line before opening at 8 am. Parking lot was in overflow when my family left.
45 minute line and wait in Baltimore County (eastern side), in line at 8, finished at 8:45. paper and electronic voting taking place. wide variety of demographics (and vehicles in the parking lot of the school). Relatively orderly process, and saw folks with trump masks (which was great). This part of the county is VERY R (unlike Baltimore City). Will be fascinating to see how the voting stacks up…
You are a imbecile and don’t deserve to vote if you fall for that.
Yes, but the people who committed that fraud/crime need to be found, arrested, charged, convicted… and thrown in PRISON for a minimum of 5 years. No exceptions.
They can find out who is doing this and intervene. It would literally take five minutes, maybe an hour or so if the criminals were sophisticated…but my guess is they are not.
Turn out, turn out, turn out…
I vote in every election in the peoples republic of Connecticut, have never witnessed a turn out like this before. The longest I have ever waited in the past is 10 minutes. Today was an hour in the damp cold. An election volunteer said the line was long at 5:40 AM, 20 minutes before opening the poles.
I can’t say who the majority will end up voting for, but liking our chances here in southeastern CT.
Hopefully you aren’t and won’t be the Last CT Conservative any longer!
Delaware – Sussex County. This is Joe Biden’s home state. We only have three counties, and I vote in the only consistently conservative county. Today the turnout was massive. Longest lines, we ever seen. Mood was upbeat and positive. A truck drove by with a Trump flag and got a positive response from those around us. I can’t help but feel conservatives are turning out massively even here in Delaware.
