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.
What’s going on out there?
First time commenting. Went to my ward location in Delafield WI (very red Waukesha county) at about 11 am this morning expecting a line, the parking lot only had a couple cars. Walked right up, showed my ID and signed the voter log…the page was full of signatures except for mine and my wife’s. I was given number 1899, I have never seen a number that high…we only have 2100 people in our ward. Over 90%, before noon on election day, amazing.
Wow. It’s as if your fellow citizens couldn’t wait to vote!
Proudly voted RED ballot in Town of Bristol, WI. It was packed at 10 a.m. and cars waiting to come into the parking lot. Majority of voters, including myself, were wearing Trump, MAGA, American Flag shirts, hats and masks. This is Dane county folk, the little Kalifornia of Wisconsin but in my neck of the woods it looks like all Trump!!
Precinct I’m working has 399 registered voters. 79 voted early. 131 have voted in person so far today.
One lady came in today all masked up wearing gloves. She said to me, ” good thing I have a mask on because you don’t.” I said, “I feel very safe since you’re wearing your mask.” ?
We’re having a lull now ?
“…She said to me, ” good thing I have a mask on because you don’t. …”
You are very kind, Trish. I tell them that I’ve had the virus so I’m immune.
i would’ve pretended like i was smoking a cigarette and “blew” smoke in her face.
Speaking of that, I walked out of the grocery store yesterday and was hit with the strong, strong odor of cig smoke. Man, it was unpleasant. I looked around for the smoker and didn’t see one.
I thought to myself, “See, all those years you smoked you made others put up with that.”
Once in my car I started wondering if the smoke I had inhaled was from the cigarette itself or if it was the exhaled smoke from the smoker’s lungs. Ugh. Sure hope the guy/gal didn’t have Covid.
?
Long line at my township hall… it didn’t wrap around the building or anything, but it’s longer than any I’ve seen before at that place.
Had a little trouble getting the ballot into the machine, but it was eventually accepted. ??
Poll watching here in Pinal country Arizona….Steady stream of folks.. You know the ones that have the shirts with flags and guns, etc are voting for PT….the other ones, you’re just not sure of. Steady stream all day. Well organized voting station.
I’m in CA on the coast. Fairly liberal. Not quite SF or LA lib, but liberal nonetheless. There was no line at 11:30 am but we had four days of in person voting. In the parking lot I saw a golf cart adorned with Trump flags. A woman leaving in her car had the windows rolled down had Lee Greenwood’s God Bless The USA blaring.
My daughter is 19, goes to college in Pittsburgh, PA. She stood in line for two and 1/2 hours to vote in her very first election. She was sooooo excited!
Daughter should have voted in PA.

Just got an update from a family member in Madison, Ohio. That is a town on Lake Erie far north and about 30 minutes east of the den of iniquity and burning river (Cleveland). He was in and out in 10 minutes at 2pm casting his vote for President Trump. First time voting in years. He said there were extra voting machines mostly empty and bored poll workers.
Friend drove around polling places in around noon Willoughby and Wickliffe, Ohio to scope out for older or disabled family members. No lines and limited customers it appeared.
Ohio had in-person voting since October 6 and lines at Board of Elections (BOE) have been around the building most of the month. I think many people may have considered voting early IN-PERSON since our Kasich Republican governor and Sec of State yanked in-person out from under us in the 11th hour in March. Everyone had to vote by mail, unless elderly or disabled who could vote at BOE. Apparently the cheat-by-mail was such a farce, they opened up BOE for anyone, but did not advertise broadly at all.
DeCline is not as bad as Whitless up north or the other one in PA, but many days he comes very close. Ohioans fought back early trying to keep him in check. For example, DeCline and pharmacy board tried an HCQ restriction. Thankfully it was swatted down quickly, but he tried. Mask mandate and trashing businesses with crazy restrictions is still in play.
Wish Jim Jordan would recruit our next governor! Ohio Republican Committee track record has been abysmal. But I digress…..
Living my best life! Kudos to Sundance and the crew and all my Treeper friends! You all are the absolute best! God Bless.
October 6? Wow, frankly I think allowing people to vote practically two months in advance of the election is a bad, bad idea.
Dewine has keep me and my family from seeing our mother. Mom is in beginig stages of dementia at a nursing home near Cincinnati and she does understand the lockdown bs. She just tells us we have abandoned her and doesnt know why.
Breaks my heart.
I cannot stand that mofo little twit.
You could try volunteering at the nursing home if you have the time and it is close to home.
Thanks wish I could but I live out of state. Also do t think rhey are allowing volunteers due to lockdown. The stopped letting hairdresser in back when lockdown started.
So not only cant we see her she cant even get a hair cut.
I am so sorry for your family Rebelchick.
I have a neighbor who’s mom is in a similar situation. Hearing the outright nastiness and lack of compassion of some of the facility’s workers is reprehensible.
“Mofo little twit” is most apt and descriptive. Cold anger. Stone cold.
One more anecdote…On my weekly trip to Costco to pick up a new mask in a zipped bag for the kiddos for school (they hand you one if you are not wearing), I met a very nice couple. Guy had on a Trump hat, so I knew friendly peeps. Side note, Kirkland TP was unavailable, but plenty of Charmin and off-brand TP available in case anyone interested. No paper towels either. Oh no, not this again. Thankfully I now keep a hefty supply after the fiasco in March.
At any rate, they identified as German Americans and shared with me the horrors of current German socialism. 16% sales tax! They were discouraged by the Biden signs on their way through Gates Mills, OH, but I shared with them this website so they could regain some positivity. It’s so much fine smiling and living your best life! You manage to meet a lot of nice people. They were so refreshing, especially since this particular Costco seems to be in the belly of the beast with misguided elitist Dims, particularly in the private schools nearby, The Cleveland Clinic, and Case Western Reserve University down the road. Like someone said here a while back, these people were ALL IN when there was the least amount of information and the most amount of fear. They are struggling altering course and reeling back to normalcy.
Another positive is that on a street in Wickliffe, Ohio the lone Biden sign was taken down, but the two decked out Trump yards are still looking marvelous. Wickliffe is the first city east of Cuyahoga County and roughly 15 miles from Cleveland. Used to be Dem blue collar stronghold, but now looking like Trumplican red hat and collar territory!
I voted just past noon in Macomb County, MI. No real wait though 3 people who came to vote hadn’t done so in the past 10 years were refused. To remedy this they were told to go to city hall, register, and return with paperwork supplied by the city at which time they would be allowed to cast their ballot. I was #318 at my precinct. Go President Trump!!!!!
Do you think they seemed eager to do that?
Used to live in Macomb County years ago as a Reagan Democrat. Family still lives there. I am in Raleigh, NC. Not likely President Trump will take this area, as it is Research Triangle Park, with Duke, NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill. Still, when I voted yesterday the lines were moderately long. Nothing like when I lived in LA though. It was a joy, however, to see TWO spontaneous Trump trains – about 45 cars each – passing through my neighborhood along a major thoroughfare Sunday and Monday!
My gut says we will be victorious, but I will have to wait until later tonight.
Took us 1.5 hours standing in line to vote in NW PA where it usually takes 10 – 15 minutes and those present indicated turnout was 2x what it was last year as of 2 o’clock this afternoon. The line was just as long when we finished voting as it was when we had arrived. Our outstanding congressman Mike Kelly was present in the parking lot area to cheer us on. An overwhelming majority of those present appeared to be supporters of President Trump and a majority expressed concerns over the mail in ballot system in PA.
SE PA …Bucks County. Very long lines everywhere. Not sure what I think about the paper ballots as there is so much room for fraud.
Philthadelphia is one giant hot mess. Federal election violations everywhere and poll watchers denied entrance.
Five drops of red deposited here in Upstate NY.
Signatures now electronic, first time. Our votes were cast on paper ballots around a tiny little table thingie with almost none of the privacy of the old machines. Many happy pollworkers to outnumber voters. We made it busy for a few minutes as always. 89-yr. old dad had to get a fresh ballot; he filled in the little ovals everywhere it said Trump, so the machine rejected the extra votes! Too bad.
I do think the old mechanical levers were way easier on older folks than trying to ink in tiny blots with shaky hands and wobbly vision (the latter applies to me as well).
Iinfuriating moment — my brother heard the pollworker apologetically tell the person in line behind him that state law prevents her from even looking at the offered ID. That is just so wrong!
Covid report: masks expected (that’s what the sign said), no social distancing possible in any form, or even suggested; pens returned to a tray.
Really cheerful place to vote, honestly. Hope that never changes.
MAGA-A.
Erie County, NY voter here. Went at 8:15AM and was steady people but I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I tried showing them my ID but only was required to sign voter roll. Good people working and I wished them a good day.
I wish we could take every single upstate NY vote and move these people for 90 days to Pennsylvania or Minnesota. So frustrating how disenfranchised people in CA, NJ, NY, Ill. are.
Let NY have eastern PA and western NY can become part of the new PA.
We’re wiping the pens they sign in withb after EVERY person.
The markers they vote with are returned with the ballot privacy cover & also wiped off..
Voting stations are wiped down pretty frequently. We’re kinda bored right now, voting has slowed for the moment, so stuff is very clean. ?
No one is social distancing.
Where I voted in VA, they said to keep the pen.
We were only given one box of markers to vote with & about 8-10 stick pens to sign in with….we have LOTS of disinfecting wipes though. ?
Slow and peaceful when I voted straight Republican in East Peoria, Illinois at 1 pm.
God is intervening. Look at the weather today:
Not up here in WA state! LOL it’s absolutely disgusting here. It’s all mail in though so we voted last week.
RWG, Last night my wife asked me what the forecast was for today. I told her it was going to be raining liberal tears.
Yummy!! 😀
It’s been raining in Lynden since the early AM
Is it me or does the cloud cover across the top of the country resemble Trump’s signature hair line! The Golden Means / Divine Proportion also comes to mind.
Is it me or does the cloud cover across the top of the country resemble Trump’s signature hair line! The Golden Means / Divine Proportion also comes to mind.
Yeah. Nice picture of Flyover Country!
Notice where it is sunny.
Notice where it is cloudy.
We’ll take it.
Small rural Southeastern Republican leaning precinct….voted mid day…no line. Heard the line wrapped around the building this morning.
** Southeastern PA
I’m a SE PA registered Democrat. I voted Trump. If my social circle is any indication, Trump has only picked up supporters, including from among registered Democrats like me.
I have thought Trump would get literally hundreds of thousands of votes from people like you. Who supports rioting, burning, and looting?
Yeah, there have been a number of incidents that have red-pilled a lot of people. The rioting certainly was one of them. The Walkaway movement apparently has over 500,000 members – and those are just the Democrats who walked away, knew about the movement and were motivated enough to join it. I’d be willing to bet there have been a LOT more Democrats who have quietly walked away from the party.
Do it PA!

Let’s hope FL is a portend of PA, NC, WI, Oh, and MI
Amazing what happens when you clean the fraud out. Thank you Ron DeSantis.
Pensacola Beach Fl, The line was so long at 10:30 that we left and went back at 1:30. Still a very long line but we stayed and it took about 1 hour. Never seen anything like this. Red tsunami!!!!!
Bay / Gulf Counties FL. Panama City. Most voted early, but consistent traffic at super centers. 52k Trump 21k slojoe. Panhandle Strong ? Onward Christian Soldiers
Still thinking that after Trump wins both houses, election reform must become a priority.
I’d like to see crowdsourced federal elections.
I’d like to see every single federal ballot scanned and posted online, relevant to each district, each with its own metadata showing votes it contributed to final tally.
I’d like to see a spot where each person could, if desired, leave a personal mark. Not to undo anonymous Australian ballot, but rather to allow each person to confirm that indeed their vote has been counted correctly.
I would personally photograph my own ballot, then write a search algorithm that autocorrelates my special mark with all the boxes for special marks, to rapidly find my ballot among the many.
This wouldn’t solve the dead and fraudulent voter problem (that’s a voter list issue which also needs reform) but would solve the “did my vote count” problem.
Need someone else’s brain storm to help tackle the “who voted” problem. Heck, China has all our voter rolls as well as the entire personal files of every person with a security clearance. This is no longer a privacy issue.
Anyways, have been thinking for a couple of years how we’re becoming a banana republic, and foremost in Making America Great Again is restoring confidence in our republic’s voter security.
Other thoughts?
Thanks for this great forum, and, Sundance, for your sacrifices on behalf of our great republic!
I did a write-in for an inconsequential office.
No one but myself knows what I wrote, so only myself can validate my ballot . . .
Debra, that’s genius. I also snap a picture of my ballot as well.
I went at 9:30 am & there was a very long line. I was surprised. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes. I’m in PA. I wanted to do mail-in ballot because of health issues. I applied 2 months ago for my ballot. I received it Wed, last week. I didn’t trust a drop off box & voted in person. Glad I did because I know it was counted. So glad to see the lines. The red wave. MAGA!
I just spoke with the Erie County election office and they said Sebastian Machado isn’t a poll worker there and couldn’t be because he isn’t even a registered voter
Pittsburgh, pa here again. Son went to vote. He had to do provisional because his name was not in the book. 5 years living here, he had a voter id card and everything, and he had to do a provisional. Poll worker told him they have alot of these. He made a stink for sure. Geez.
That is sketchy as hell. If he has lived there for 5 years and had a voter registration card, then they are scamming. I almost got arrested one time in NJ at my own former middle-school about 10 years ago because they wouldn’t let me vote since “it said” I had “requested” (not submitted) an absentee ballot, which I hadn’t done, and that if I had requested one I couldn’t vote in person.
They tried to give me the provisional crap. I refused. I simply refused to move my body. I said “Call the police if you have to.” A more sr. worker came over and let me sign the book and vote normally. It wasn’t a Presidential election of any kind; not sure if that had anything to do with it.
Anyway, I was fine going to jail that night if it came to it. I certainly had not requested an absentee since I lived down the street, and I know provisional ballot are as good as garbage. I will never allow anyone to disenfranchise me and neither should any of you!
Should have headed straight to the clerk’s office to get that sh*t straightened out. Say NO to provisional!
I had a similar problem in PA, too. I moved from one part of Philly to another last year, and when I updated my address, the Philadelphia election board claimed they had no record of me. Period. And that the state driver database had no record of me and that I was not eligible to vote. So I went from updating a change of address to not even being registered. I may be reaching, but I wondered whether it was retribution because I was one of the dozens of GOP poll watchers in Philly in 2012 that were barred from the polling stations and had to get an emergency injunction to gain entry. Who knows…Philly is at least 85% Democrat, so it may well have been that they were triggered by me being an ‘R’. I’ve lived in PA my whole life, have had a PA driver’s license for 40 years, and have voted in every election since 1980…no way could there be no trace of me. I finally got my *new* registration just a few weeks ago,
Early projections have Biden leading in 55 of the 57 states …
LOL
Glad you got a laugh ?
“Come on Man,… You know,… The Thing!”
Blue Central FL at 3 pm EST. No line, only 2 voters at the precinct. They said it had been “steady* all day ?. And 35 people in line at 7 am opening is *not* a line when you have 10 voting stations.
Bag 2 more for POTUS. My millennial daughter drove 4 hrs to vote for President Trump, and is looking at a 4 hr. drive back.
FL remains red. ?
I hope you gave her gas money….
I just voted for President Trump and VP Mike Pence!!!!! MAGA, AGAIN!!!!
My polling place is DuPage County, ILL in the Chicago suburbs. No lines. I voted around 1:30 PM which is typically a less busy time to vote. In this polling place the rush hours are early morning and a couple of hours before the close of the polls at 7:00 PM.
The weather is just glorious. Temps in the high 60’s and forecasted to reach 70! Sunny. Beautiful day to vote for MAGA!!!!
May the Lord be merciful and gracious to allow us another MAGA term for the benefit of our families and future generations.
AMEN,the Lord God Almighty will for HIS mighty hand is still upon our nation,this president and our people.
Maricopa County, far north Phoenix.
Wife and I just voted. No lines, but steady stream of folks coming to vote.
Process is good:
Go to a kiosk and have your ID scanned
Your name pops up and you are asked to confirm
Your address pops up and you are asked to confirm
Then it asks you to raise your hand and a poll worker comes over and checks your ID and then gives the kiosk a confirmation of ID check
Then the kiosk messages your ballot is being printed, you go to another poll worker and she re-confirms your address and hands you the ballot
Then fill in the little circles on the ballot with a marker, we voted for some guy named Trump
Then feed the ballot into a scanner, it returns messages “Processing”, “Counting”, “Vote counted successfully!”
As far as turnout, hearing it is yuge, also with regard to lines today, Maricopa County has had early in person voting sites operating for the last two weeks.
Mask note: It is NOT necessarily a sign of political views if you wear a mask or not. We are ALL Trumplican here all the time and wear masks when in crowds to keep from bring home anything to the elderlies whom we love.
If not for our elderlies and those with cancer etc… in our families, we would also be maskless.
True, but NOT wearing a mask is definitely a sign of political views. Wearing one isn’t necessarily a sign, but it’s a pretty good indicator that you’re blue if you’re under 60 and wearing one, imo
or outside by yourself or riding your bike by yourself on a country road or in a park, or in your car by yourself, or doing aerobics or cross-fit indoors by yourself….
Same. I’m caring for my 90 year old dad, I have been careful and wear a mask where it’s required. I minimize my need to go places due to my dad.

What is that Exit Poll on steroids? Yes BS on that
Timberlake, North Carolina (Person County) our precinct went for Trump in 2016. Went early to try to avoid the line and waited around an hour this morning. Typically, I go after work, but the man in front of me said that he usually votes in the morning and that he thought the line was much longer today. There were delays because they wanted to sanitize every station after someone voted in it, only assigned one man to do it, and he was not an efficient worker. They kept telling the people who were handing out ballots to stop so he could catch up on disinfecting.
The problem tonight may be the same as 2016 when Durham County, North Carolina “found” 90k votes after the election had been called for republican governor and attorney general. Those “found” ballots pushed those “wins” just over the automatic recount level last time.
I voted in DE for our man Trump. Longest lines I’ve ever seen at my polling location. Not sure if the democrats felt the need to vote for Joe or people came out to vote for Trump to try to turn the state. I’d love it if it was the latter, and Biden lost his home state.
Sadly, I’m sure it was people forced to get out and vote for Joe at the barrel of a proverbial gun. My wife’s family literally were one of the founding colonial families of the state of Delaware. Her grandmother (my sons’ great-grandmother) is still alive and the current matriarch of the wider clan.
She is leads a old-time faction in Southern Delaware that isn’t big on Biden’s, though admittedly most of the clan are Democrats. Sadly though, as she tells it, northern Delaware Joe and those old clans up there have most of the sway.
My wife’s family founded Bethany Beach and many towns west and south of it until the Maryland borders in both directions. Still own a lot of the open land.
South West Mi near Grand Rapids. Very red area. Voted at 2 pm was #365 which is about the same as 2016 at that time. Clerk said they had many VBM and early voters. Looks to be big turnout. MAGA
D’Iberville, MS – arrived at the Civic Center at 9am and was stunned by the turnout. Overflow parking in a field 2 blocks from the poll, the line circled around the back of the building and looked like the game Centipede of the 80s. The whole experience took 1hour, 20 minutes. I’m so proud…
Joe Biden’s campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon remarked that Biden still has a pathway to victory even if he loses Pennsylvania and Florida, leading some to suggest this shows doubts are emerging over the Democrat’s chances in these crucial states.
Just west of Lawrence KS. My polling station relocated next door to a bigger space with more booths. More people voting than I’ve ever seen. County election observer watching over the shoulder of the gal taking IDs; never seen that before. Gal in front of me got a provisional ballot. Election worker told her that provisional ballots won’t be counted until the second Monday after the election.
Small town south central Nebraska – polling place had no lines, but more folks than I’ve seen there before.
The wife and I voted R.emove E.very D.-rat last Tuesday in early voting here in the FL panhandle. Even though early voting had been going on for a week, there was a big line that kept growing. This was at 1:45pm. I early voted for the first time in the 2016 primary. The system is secure so we started doing it early, particularly this time because the vote is so important and we didn’t want anything to interfere with it.
One factor that doesn’t get reported is President Trump’s Get Out the Vote system. Even here in the most conservative part of FL, the team has been working to GOTV. Last week, I opened the door and found a President Trump VOTE door hanger on it. There have also been several mailings from President Trump and the R party of FL. And beginning yesterday, a constant stream of text messages to VOTE! with a link to polling locations. If he’s doing it here in NW FL, imagine what he’s doing in other states.
The RED TSUNAMI is real and it will crash the shore by the time the polls close. With another 4 years of President Trump, God will continue to bless the United States of America! JMHO
If he wins NV, he’s well on his way to 40 states and mid-300 EVs. That kind of win is going to have coattails down-ballot. The D strategy of nominating Biden to avoid a Sanders/Marxist wipeout might not pan out after all.
I hate getting my hopes up like this. But wouldn’t that be something if this thing rolls full landslide?
Ohio here. Early morning voting was heavy. late afternoon early evening will pick up again. Showed my drivers license to vote but I asked if I could vote without it. No way. I’m between Dayton and Cincinnati and it’s heavy Republican.
But if you go to a house of worship, the First Amendment is cancelled.
CDC says people sick with COVID-19 can break quarantine to vote in-person https://trib.al/qLeAcvg

I live in a Blue area just south of Boston . voted for Trump and wrote my own name for congress. It either vote for 2 that i don’t agree with and the guy that they cheated with some shenanigans I don’t know how to spell his name.
My 30 year old came in while I was there and she asked me for help so I actually voted twice. And her 2 friends outside in the car voted the same. I saw people standing on the main street holding huge Trump flags. I live 15 miles away from that city and I just keep the address since i split with the mother. In that neighborhood people are driving around in pick ups with big Trump flags.
I feel very confidant with an honest election Trump winds easily. It the Fraud that scares me. Democrats have got that down pretty pat by now. I see in the NY post that they have dead people requesting mail in ballots and sending them in. It’s crazy how they can get the dirt back and the grass like nothing ever happened
Baltimore, MD checking in. Deep blue city/state for anyone not familiar. In and out of the polling center within minutes. Voted on paper rather than computer. Lots of Biden signs out front. 2 guys campaigning for Kim Klacik were out front as well- would’ve voted for her but she’s not running for my district. They were the only people to approach me to give a flyer on their candidate. Lots of people on my way out saying thank you for voting (probably assuming I voted for Biden)
Waited in line at sporting goods store to buy ammo in South Orange County California. About a dozen guys ahead of me right before store opened. All but one had already voted and the last guy was going right after he bought his ammo! I got a bunch of 9mm, 380, 2w and 5.56. Hopefully that’s a good omen for tonight!
“2W” ammo?
22?
I’m just outside Kansas City.
I voted at 1 pm, no lines but polling place was set up to handle 70 voters ate a time. I was #1109.
Stock Market knows Our Very Sage Genius wins – its 3:30 EST and its at shooting upwards of 680!
All the liberal Business sites are spinning the up market that it is clear Biden will be winning the presidency. I still have not gone all back in. If things look like they are resolving tomorrow without some crazy Democrat Con, I’ll go all back in.
Any update from MI, WI and NH?
That was great!

Guessing those riots in Atlanta didn’t help Biden
I live in a rural red state Oklahoma. I voted early this morning and the polling place is a mile and a half from me on the same road. There wasn’t many that had voted this morning but cars have gone by my home constantly. Usually not many go by. I think this is a good indication that a lot are voting. There are many Trump Pence signs on homes and only one Biden sign.
Mcclain County over here. Glad to see another Okie!
I assure you Texas is NOT in play. Bank those 38 electoral votes for President Trump!
east of Seattle, king county wa (only the crazy or those looking for trouble will venture into seattle tonight regardless of who wins).
Over 68 million ballots have been cast (we are a mail in state even before the Covid stupidity, its been a leverage point for the state Dems). The last several days have seen a steady stream of people dropping off their ballots at the local drop box. They are expecting much more traffic today there, especially as it gets closer to the 8pm cutoff. This area is very blue, so I’m not sure it is meaningful beyond people are voting (as much against Trump as anything else) and we seem likely to have a higher than normal turnout than 2016 (45% in 2016).
Lakewood Ohio
Took mother in law to vote about 1:30
No lines but a good number of folks there voting
Voted in Hillsborough County ( S Tampa) around 10 am. No lines. Spoke with a (Trump/Rep supporting) neighbor who told me she mailed in her ballot because of COVID and “other concerns“ regarding Election Day voting. Today my neighborhood seems to have more Biden than Trump signs but less “D-signs” generally than in 2016 and more “R-signs” for local/state elections (i.e. Luna).
We have a rental property in Pinnellas County (St Pete – canal area)…RED WAVE. Not science. Just observations. But I feel GOOD!
Voted in Michigan this morning, longest line in 15 years. I am thinking this will be called before midnight tonight. If it takes 2 hours to count ballots on a normal election twice the number is still only 4 hour. Most states started counting yesterday or early this morning. Think about this, we only need enough lead that Biden cannot over come. We don’t need the west coast at all. We don’t need PA if they try to drag their feet. TLDR Most states will count ballots in the normal time, so we will know the winner early if we won big enough, and I think we won HUGE.
