Sticking with our traditional election day discussions, this 4:00pm ET thread is specifically focused on what is happening in/around your neighborhood and precinct this election day 2022. Keep in mind, the West Coast is in lunchtime voting now.
The practical on-the-ground reports from you are generally an excellent gauge for the ‘sense’ of the state and federal election results.
If you are voting on election day today, what are you seeing in your area? How is turnout?
What is the general sense about the candidates in the local and state races that are important to you, your friends, your community, your neighborhood?
Are there any voting issues in your immediate area? If so, what kind?
We will post a few ‘ground report’ threads throughout the day for you to share the latest news and information from your area as well as your state.
Remember a key facet in modern election cycles is to ignore any national MSM coverage of exit polling or trends as national news is generally trying to shape opinion and thereby shape outcome.
Regardless of the narrative being promoted, ignore exit polling which has been shown to be heavily manipulated by media. Just vote.
So, what are you seeing out there?
Getting ready to leave the office and go vote. I wait til the last minute so my vote can’t be used for gauging a steal. I will report back from Loudoun upon arrival.
Wife voted at 10am and was in and out in 10 minutes. No line at all. Loudoun supposedly is heavy Dem district these days. Could be a good sign.
Loudoun County too.
Quiet, no crowds.
this was the same though in 2020. Trump was way ahead when they closed the polls ….
I am sure there is a lot of stealing going on in “Lo Co”
Just voted. No line at all. The couple people I saw I couldn’t tell what party they may vote for. Asked the guy checking me in if they had machine issues and he said no. When I told him about Arizona he had no idea.
I hope this is a good sign.

@RRHElections
We have the 1st GOP Congressional pickup of the midterm election! James Moylan (R) has defeated Judi Won Pat (D) to win the race to be Guam’s non-voting delegate to Congress. Moylan will be the 2nd Republican ever elected to be Guam’s delegate.

Doug Moylan (R) has also won Guam’s Attorney General seat over Leevin Camacho (I)
It also confirms that Guam has not yet tipped over, which is always good news.
Ha Ha- guess you are referring to the Dem congressman that was worried about sending too many troops to Guam, for fear that the extra weight might cause the island might tip over.
Outstanding! Spent two years at Andersen AFB on Guam in the early eighties. The Guamanian people, traditionally voted Democrat, but were still very patriotic. This is a good sign!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
James Moylan – First Republican House delegate elected since 1993!
I’m seeing red.
I’m sorry… please have a drink and relax. 🙂
Yes, I think much of the steal has been prevented simply by all of the people they know are watching. But clearly that’s not true of certain areas. They just can’t not cheat…
Democrats steal boldly!
Audaciously, as one of their heroes is fond of…
Philly, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta…we know the routine. R must win by a substantial margin to escape the steal.
Steady stream of voters .. heavy in Huntington beach, ca.. I turned in completed ballots. Was asked if my hub signed it for me to return his (yes).. then worker made me watch her put the ballots in a box…. Stupid.. I could have walked across the street to the vote drop box IN THE PARK with no sigs.. Calif is LOST.
I’m up in the Placer County part of CA. The polls were very empty at around noon, but our Soros backed SoS sent a ballot out to everyone again, so maybe that is how most will vote? With universal vote by mail and ballot harvesting being legal, it is just too easy for the Uniparty to cheat here, but we’re doing our best to send young Kevin Kiley to congress for the new District CA3!
Here in my little Contra Costa suburb, I voted at 10:30A and my polling place was empty. It appears as though EVERYONE votes by mail. I have always voted in-person and I will do so until I’m horizontal. Good News! They didn’t require masks to vote. Bad News … they no longer have vote count machines to feed my ballots into. Instead, I have to shove my ballots into some box that looks like a courier bag. Didn’t give me great confidence that my votes will actually be counted.
We need National Vote Reform … the SCOTUS must step up and eliminate: drop boxes, mail out ballots, extended voting period (before and after election DAY), and mandatory voter ID.
My polling place logged me in on an iPad. I gave my name, then the polling worker asked me to verify my address (which gave me some sense of voter ID/security). However, I had to sign my name on the iPad with my finger … which will never match my pen-written signature. How would anyone ever be able to verify my signature?
I’m sure you were supposed to use a stylist. How about that there were none.
Total fraud.
Sorry for your waisted time my friend.
What is even worse is that in many places, the reference signature is the one you wrote on a pad at your driver’s license office. In 2020, there was a large county where an elderly lady was in charge of doing all of the signature verifications for mail-in ballots. There were thousands and thousands of those ballots. When somebody asked how one person could possibly handle that task, she said that nobody could match up a signature to the ones from the driver’s license office so she approved all of them.
Well, no. WE are the ones that want to follow the Constitution, which means FEDERALISM approach to governance, which despite the name actually means Federal Govt does very little, MOST Governing is done by State and local Govts,…..
Like conducting elections, which the Constitution spells out, is detirmined by STATE LEGISLATURES.
After the (IMHO put up job) of Gore v Bush, with the “hanging chads” they had no problem using that charade, to justify Federal Govt. “helping” States to “modernise” their elections systems; enter Dominion, which was supposed to ‘speed up’ elections, and “remove uncertainty or confidence in the results”.
So please, THINK before you advocate for a Federal takeover of elections.
Name one thing the Federal Govt has improved, by taking it over.
I will name 2 the Fed has made more efficient : corruption and fraud 🥲
Let me rephrase … the Federal Government needs to ENFORCE the constitutional requirement for a DAY of voting. And that States FOLLOW their own Voting Laws … including NO drop boxes or mail out ballots. Those things have been done under the cover of COVID … but now appear permanent despite no Legislative authorization.
a big fat NO…..the federal government nor courts have ANY business dictating voting regulations and methods to the STATES…..the state legislatures are to take the lead in this regard according to the US Constitution…..do not like it?…..work on amending it….do not try to short circuit it like the Dimm/commies do…….you will end up with variance in the way votes are handled by the states but that is the way it was MEANT to be
El Dorado County here, Pollock Pines right at the snowline. There is a storm moving through and snow is falling, yet a good turn out here. Not swamped, but busy according to the poll worker. The folks up here are used to getting around in the bad weather.
Very red up here, Trump banners are still flying as are the American flags. 45 miles up Hwy 50 from Sacramento. Yes, one might think a lost cause, but will keep at it. You never know!
Oh yeah, one of the WiFi connections that was available: “EDC Elections”. (El Dorado County).
Hmmm.
One more thing, I walked in with the ballot that was mailed out, and when I said I wanted to vote in person, the poll worker having seen my ballot in hand, would not print another until he had marked “SPOILED” across the top of the mailed ballot in red ink.
Now, if I hadn’t been obvious, and if I had been devious, could see how double voting could occur.
Timed my vote for the quiet time between the morning rush and lunch rush. No lines at all. Did what I could to vote against Murkowski — doubt it will help, and I pray I’m wrong.
While I live in a red city, I am in the people’s republic neighborhood.
In Swampscott which is a Massachusetts north shore suburb around 1pm.
Very light traffic, no waiting, mostly younger women, some Trades men. Prior years the traffic level at this time of day has been heavier but there was a big push in the town for early voting so that may have made the difference.
There were bills for:
regulating dental insurance charges
issuing driver licenses to people who could not document residency/citizenship
posting govt officials actual votes online same day
My guess is one and two are DOA and the last one will pass.
Lines in NY and really slow machines. Open your phone’s wifi and look at all the internet connections available at the voting sites. We counted 11 at our poll.
But but but the Dominion machines are not connected to the internet … !
In Bloomington MN the poll books have wifi to communicate for verification of voters. A paper ballot is given, filled out, and run through counter which downloads to a drive that is delivered to city hall by the head judge within an hour of polls closing.
So, some wifi may be OK.
Havent went out to vote yet. Word on the street lately however is that even the traditionally low info fake news crowd is noticing the state of their quality of life has diminished despite what they are being told.
Unfortunately they have no idea the elections are rigged. At least not yet.

Good for him. The audacity of these Feds. It’s our elections. Keep your NSA Election thieves away!
Just voted in NE Florida, St Johns county. Zero issues in this strong republican area, well run elections here.
Yep, in and out in 10 minutes
The Virginia Project
@ProjectVirginia
The strategic outlook in Virginia is that VA Dem incumbents are oddly spaced out lines of defense
VA-2 is overrun, Luria is done
VA-7 Spanberger acting like she know she don’t got it
VA-10 Dem consultants openly worrying about it by noon
VA-4 history being made?
Happy to see the Virginia Project still on line! Spanberger defeat would be awesome!
Luria should have never had the seat – she ‘won’ on the Dem plan of running veterans who claimed to be centrists and would appeal to independents and GOPe type Republicans. That and a lot of New Yorkers have moved to that part of VA.
Spanberger didn’t ‘win’ last time but had 11,000 votes found for her days after the election on a thumb drive – not kidding. She got a gerrymandered new district but hopefully that isn’t helping.
VA-10 was always a RINO stronghold until 2018 when the tech companies used VA as a practice run on voter targeting and the federal workers and contractors lost their minds over Trump.
There’s no way VA-4 a Richmond and very diverse Dem stronghold flips to GOP
At yesterdays Trump rally, RSBN was touting THEY will be having live, election night coverage and they have gone “all out”, with coverage from multiple locations so we MAY finally have some alternative to MSM, starts at 4:00.
Upstate NY (Ulster Co), nothing unusual in my small precinct, although I took the last spot at the tables to fill in the bubbles, so might be slightly more turnout than usual. Filled ballot scanned without issue. All we get from the scanner is a message that says something like “Ballot successfully scanned”, so who knows if it took all of my selections and attributed them to the right candidates. They should at least give a count of how many races you voted in…such as “8 of 8 possible selections submitted”. I have zero faith in the existing system. Need to go back to hand counts.
Classic video clip.
ELECTION DAY PEP TALK: “I don’t want them to gain another yard. We blitz all night! If they cross the line of scrimmage I’m gonna take every last one of you out. You make sure they REMEMBER the night they played the Titans. Leave no doubt!”

Hobe Sound Florida here. Decent line around noon. 10 minute wait then out the door. I expect my part of florida to be solid red!
In Volusia County, FL as of 3:40pm, with a little over 3 hours left to vote the totals are as follows:
Democrats – 61,792 total mail in, early and day of votes
Republicans – 97,493 total mail in, early and day of votes
difference of 35,701 votes AND so far Republicans exceed Democrats in all three categories: mail in, early and day of votes.
Also, with a little over 3 hours left before the polls close day of voting within 2,700 votes to exceed early voting.
Where did you get these numbers from? Is there an online source, please provide a URL.
I thought it was illegal to provide results prior to the closing of the polls in any State? Am I wrong?
Those aren’t results. They are reflections of party affiliation based on registration. But still a good sign.
Yeah, looking good!
Red State has a similar post on Miami-Dade, also looking good!
Miami-Dade Early Returns Signals a Red Tsunami Is Coming – RedState
It’s statistics of how voters are registered, partywise. People do not necessarily vote their party registration, but many do.
Independents are outvoting Democrats on election day thus far, 14,102-12,927.
TRUTH
Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
People of Arizona: Don’t get out of line until you cast your vote. They are trying to steal the election with bad Machines and DELAY. Don’t let it happen!
Nephew reporting from Sioux Falls and states “it is a shit show here at the church and people dont know where the line starts and parking lot totally full along with the church lawn ” Voting at the church is packed…….
I’m gonna guess that because pot is on the ballot and medicaid expansion is also on the ballot the freak contingency is coming out in droves….
And stoned zombies don’t know how to form a straigh line, or park a car between the lines, lol.
Turnout seems low here in Fairfax Co. VA, but we only have Don Beyer (and his CCP staffers) on the ballot. Our polling place had suspicious “ballot printers” last election (to print off a bunch of last-minute Dem votes?), but they’ve gone back to the old paper ballots which you fill in with a pen and scan, which I think is a good sign.
Silver Spring Maryland – Wife and I tried to show our Driver’s Licenses and were told “We don’t need to see those.” No lines at our polling station, nobody handing out sample ballots for either party. Pretty quiet in general but I live is a deep blue area here so I suspect a vote I cast will be spit in the ocean. BUT – We did our civic duty.
You gotta try. Sometimes all it takes is one vote. And that near to DC … nobody needs no stinkin’ IDs for nothin’.
Voted approx 2pm in Carbon County PA — 3 or 4 people voting. Went right in and voted. Was expecting a line. Hopefully doesn’t mean anything.
My wife and I voted at approximately 9:15 a. m. EST at our polling place, here in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Even though our county is on the “DOJ’s List” for FBI “assistance”, we saw no one of that ilk at the polls. It was quiet as we entered, but our respective places on the voter list showed that turnout was quite impressive, earlier in the morning. No problems voting, but for us at our polling location, where we have voted for the last five years, there never has been any issues.
Hopefully, The Donald will throw his hat into ring, again, next Tuesday. MAGA, baby!!!
I just voted at my local polling place in WA State. No line, people inside voting, a few people dropping ballots off.
‘Looking at the workers there, Im pretty sure my ballot will end up in a paper shredder.
‘Seriously, who can you trust if you can’t trust your poll worker. 🤔
Not to disparage your testimony, Teri, but when I left WA in 2015 it was, I thought, full Vote By Mail, no polling places open. I will be surprised and pleased to hear that I was wrong.
We still have in person voting in WA

At St. Mary’s GA- polling place was not busy at all at 2:30 PM local. I voted early and it appears others did also.
Also voted in St. Marys around 9am and the parking lot was busier than when I voted in the primary. Spoke to one of the poll workers and was told it was busier than usual. This area votes consistently red.
South Carolina, Big Charleston area (purple-bluish). We voted earlier today. No lines whatsoever. Last time we had to wait in line for at least an hour. But there were people voting inside, all machines busy.
There were a couple of constitutional amendments on the ballot and a few items related to tax increase for various “noble” nature preservation and “do it for the children!” projects.
I voted NO on anything tax-related. The local gubment has to learn fiscal responsibility. It does not matter how noble the goal sounds. Find money within your budget by cutting somewhere else. We have too many leeches in this state.
Huge turnout where I voted. 30 minutes in line because everyone had to attest they would not use mail in ballots. It was a horrible horrible hold your nose and vote election (Amodei & Lombardo). Laxalt ok. The may have successfully tricked young women into thinking Laxalt & Lombardo can effect change with abortion rights which are already constitutionally protected in nevada (for nearly 20 years now).
I am praying that I misjudged the crowd…
Newsmax:
REPORT: Three house races could show a red wave | American Agenda
South central KY, collage town. Voted 8:00 am. Lots of people from all walks. Some in suits/business dress, retirees, moms, men in blue collar work clothes. Moving steady but full parking lot. From talk, mostly red..
Voted around 10 AM in Whitewright, TX, about 20 or so miles south of the Oklahoma border. It’s a small town and normally there is either no line or a very short one. This time the line was long and it took about half an hour or so. It was surprisingly busy.
Good news from AZ!
With numbers like that showing up it’s no wonder Maricopa County had to have their vote fraud machines break down
From your post to God’s ears!!!!
People seemed angry in line here (maricopa co. Nw) at 6a and wanted to vote to do what we could to stop the blight on the dem-commie damage and a few propositions trying for tax increases.
Add in the horrible maricopa county judges with maybe 30% on the judicial review only followed and implemented the laws maybe 83% of the time. Read activist judges on the bench. People angry about this too.
We voted early a couple days ago. Limited voting locations in SWF this year due to Ian. Observed solid to heavier traffic at main voting center. We are strong red territory. Most interesting to see how some locations come in that are traditionally leftist swamps. Reportedly Miami early voting is stronger R than D.
Sadly appears the cheat is on in key selective cities/counties nationwide (AZ, PA, GA). My take is the cabal knows they can’t hold off the House, and are focusing on a Senate hold. Praying they fail…miserably.
In Carlsbad, CA, a new process is in place where you can vote from any polling place. The process of filling out a form to state your address and establish your signature means more interaction with poll workers. An elderly male election official was talking about this being better than voter ID (really?) and then said “people were carrying guns in Arizona and taking photos of license plates to intimidate voters” and how one judge made a bad decision to okay this.
Then he said “at least Trump is not on the ballot.” Not happy about this poll worker interference.
Isn’t that electioneering? You should report it.
I immediately sent an email to the San Diego GOP–for whatever that is worth. While I did not take his picture, I will go to sdvote.gov or some such organization and make a formal complaint. I can timestamp the incident and where he was sitting.
take his picture & name & report him; you can find a form on line to fill out & send to Sec of State
Its CALIFORNIA.
Report the poll worker, for saying that and YOU would go to jail, and get the j6, “I’d rather be in Guantanamo, please!” treatment.
You could have responded with “dumber than dirt aren’t you!” LOL
I did say to him after he said at least Trump was not on the ballot, “wait two years.”
Voted in GA earlier and had no wait time. There were approximately 8 people besides myself already at Dominion machines voting.
Pasco County, Florida here. My husband and I went to vote this afternoon at the Community Center in our senior citizens development. The line was longer than expected as there were more people than usual coming to vote. We waited in line for 10 minutes. I was able to quickly secure a scarce voting booth. I brought my Sample Ballot with me which helped a lot.
The voting center was well-run with ample volunteers. The mood of the crowd was upbeat.
The voting machines were out of order in Mercer County New Jersey before 8:00. . When I voted there was no lines to speak of so what caused the machines to stop.
The answer is as it always is. Rampant in your face voter fraud..
After I voted I heard on the radio that since system was down voters were supposed to cast emergency ballots and if the pole workers were not sure how the emergency ballots worked you were instructed to fill out a provisional ballot.
None of those things were done while I was voting.
Also on my mailed to me sample ballot it instructed voters to use black sharpie pens to fill out the ballot that you were given and to take the sharpies home with you. Guess what . That didn’t happen either .
There was a few sharpies on the voting table . O body could,take them home and a huge box of sharpies was under one of the desks where we were to check in. .i am sure they ate part of the accounting process and will be used to manufacture votes.
Also the ballots are two sided and when you fill out the bubble the ink bleeds,through 100%
Everything I mentioned was done right under the nose of a sharp eyed Republican monitor/dumbbell who didn’t,have a clue. She was just so thrilled to be there.
Sorry if this needs an edit.
I am too discussed to do it now.
Un-friggin-believable … but it is NJ.
North Houston here. No shenanigans at my local polling place, rather quiet. We have new machines that actually print out a sheet that I had to take to another station to be scanned. We’ll see how that goes. The local Tea Party group had a tent set up in the parking lot with voter information (we have a number of open school board positions) and a Let’s Go Brandon flag. I spent a few minutes talking to the volunteers. One older woman said she never gets involved but finding out about those pornographic gay “memoirs” in our local school libraries pushed her out of her comfort zone this year.
My area’s largely red so no surprise there. We’re also a huge oil and gas town; from what I can tell, POTATUS’s recent comments about drilling and coal are starting to wake independents and some local Dems up. I have seen not one single yard sign for a Dem candidate this year (has been about 60/40 in the past.)
I’m sure Harris County will do everything they can to keep that commie Judge in place.
Wife and I voted this morning in Northwest Arkansas; no issues. Fairly long line, we waited about 20 minutes only though so no big deal. All seemed legit. Arkansas is an R state but NW AR has a lot of D….but no shenanigans I could see or imagine.
Voted around 2:30 pm in Fitchburg, MA. Looked for the Feds but did not see any, though we are listed on the deployment list. Just a bored city cop practically asleep in a chair. Very little activity, but could be the time of day.
We have a hurricane coming and people are standing in line. I guess that says how serious they are. The hubs and I dropped off our ballots two weeks ago at Supervisor of Elections office -not that I don’t trust the Post Office donchaknow
Wise.
One America’s Voice with Bannon and others coverage of the election has started.
You mean REAL Americas voice?
In my county in Texas, they apparently re-loaded voter data. Apparently my voting registration has my full middle name, whereas my drivers license only has a middle initial. Then I saw my ballot after casting it and pulling the card out of the machine. It just had a bunch of barcodes not actual names.
Decorah, Iowa. Polling place opened 15 minutes late. One of four registration computers working. Two were by the time I left. The lady behind me must have put her ballot in the counter machine half a dozen times before it was accepted. How many counts was that? Probably 50 people in line to register as I left.
I have heard of your town. Several years ago I was watching a cam on an eagle’s nest, I believe the very first of the outside cams. It was a beautiful scene – small farm, horse in field, eagle’s nest in tree. I knew many people who were doing this as I was. It was exciting to watch the eggs hatch and the babies grow.
Oh, the Eagle Cam! We love it and have watched for years. https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-eagles/

You should be able to run elections without electricity and algorithms. Otherwise, these shenanigans build in plausible deniability at the “tabulator” level. Our elections are a joke.
Good quote! “You should be able to run elections without electricity and algorithms. “
Sacramento Ca. polling places busy.
Deems have been registering homeless people the last few days.
Might effect city elections but not much else.
This Maricopa county problem, which has 2/3 the population of AZ, has people very concerned..Kari is far ahead in the polls, but the Dems really want Katie Hobbs in, because she will leave the border open for illegals…Look for real trouble here…
“Be careful what you wish for”.
Kelli Ward ran for U.S. Senate in 2012, and RINO State party sabatouged her campaign with smear “chemtrail kelli”.
She ran again, in 2018, they put up arpio as a “MAGA SPLITTER” so that McSally got thru primary, and lost to Synema.
But, son of a gun, Kelli Ward is now the State party CHAIR.
My point being, yes they are doing everything they can to block KL, but stealing this Governorship from her may be a yuge mistake, as she will not “go quietly into that good nite”.
Drove by two voting locations in The Woodlands, TX. Both had long lines at 2:00 pm. I voted first day of early voting. Report from the Houston metro area are that there are long lines of voters.
First time voting in FLA (small Gulf Coast city) after 67 years in and around NYC. Wife and son came with me at 3:30. Pleasant, efficient and busy, but lots of space to fill out ballots and get them scanned. Red all the way, though my son would have preferred Libertarian. Much more pleasant than voting on Long Island, where we lived for 35 years before moving. Biggest question is House seat, just because I have seen no polling.
