Sticking with our traditional election day discussions, this thread is specifically focused on what is happening in/around your neighborhood and precinct this election day 2022.
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 updated ‘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?
My neighbors know we can’t talk politics at the polling stations, but everyone I know is wearing red as a statement.
Nothing but red in the lines today, only blue were poll workers.
Right only the ones counting the votes were wearing blue.
Poll workers dressed in blue?
Then there are the poll workers who…I guess…don’t show up

Antisemitism and voter interference
Oops, never gave wearing red a thought. Threw on black top and Levi’s. Idk!
I did. For some reason I wore red cashmere sweater today. Thinking yay patriotic.
I’m wearing my Mark Twain Tee shirt:
“Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”
I figure it covers both parties equally. 😆
I would love a shirt like that!
I have a Let’s Go Brandon tee for when I go tonight.
Isn’t that a way of telling crooked poll workers to adjudicate your ballot?
If we are waiting to election day, and a ‘stealth vote’ this wearing FJB and red, seems counter productive?
Not in my neck of the woods, it’s a small conservative town with a population of 2,900. I wore it proudly to the primaries this summer and it got a lot of big grins and laughter. A crooked poll worker here would have to adjudicate damn near every ballot and I would not want to think about what would happen if they got caught.
I wore red and my silver cross, no one said to wear them, I just decided to.
Well, I go to the polls to talk politics, but only with the rest of the people holding signs for our side. I’m now a known entity. So be it.
Wearing my usual red jacket of course – and so is the local candidate I’m holding signs for.
This just in from Emerald Robinson this morning:

Eastern NC here. Long lines but moving well. Voted this morning and scheduled to be a poll observer this afternoon till polls close. Gonna be a long day
Thank you for being a watcher!!!!!
😉 👍 👍 👍 👍
Also eastern NC here, going to vote after work. One person going with us hasn’t voted in 10 years, yippee!
The Davosians are VERY VERY afraid of Kari Lake, as seen by the emerging and flagrant fraud events there.
9:45 a.m. , Baptist church voting place in Mesa, Arizona, full inside. No outside lines. We carry our vote-by-mail in on election day and put it in the box ourselves.
no voter ID required in Illinois
Also voted in Illinois this morning…NW suburban location. No issues, besides not having to present I.D. as you noted (they compare signatures here), but I will note that the person “manning” the collection machine was a tall, clearly originally male individual in his 60s who was in drag, and perhaps even transitioning.
2022, right? What can I say.
Voted in metro east area of Illinois at 630 this morning. No lines, but a steady stream of voters. I was 28th voter in my precinct at that time. I’m sure it slowed down after work day started and will pick up again after work day ends. Lots of happy, smiling voters at that hour.
I’m in a Republican area of Cincinnati, Ohio and it is heavier than even the last 2 presidential elections. Praying this is a good sign people are fed up with the current administration.
Same here South of Cleveland. More people voting and a line to get in. They are gonna have to work to steal our votes!
Dave, same here in Mt.Washington, KY (suburb of Louisville). Went to vote about 11:00 AM, but the road and parking lot was so crowded, we decided to wait and try again this afternoon. Unlike Louisville, this is a Republican area. Also hoping the huge turnout is a good sign!
No lines like in 2020, but they had the dumb mask and social distance crap back then.
Looked like a nice steady stream of voters in a deep red county in Illinois.
Went to the polls at 9:00am, no line, no problems. One tabulating machine with no identification. It says my ballot was correct. No tabulating machine I’ve ever used has shown my actual vote as scored by the tabulator
Where?
Northwestern suburb of Minneapolis. Heavily Democrat area; low turn out is a positive.
I first saw that in the primary this spring. I typically will not vote for someone running unopposed in a primary. The machine flagged the undervote and made me confirm my intention.
I didn’t undervote this time, but I overheard the machine watcher guy briefing his relief that an overvote would also be rejected by the machine. And something like the voter would be sent back to fill out a fresh ballot.
Sacramento, Ca.
Pouring rain and cold.
Maybe the libs will stay home.
Going well in Red NE GA.
Already shared a few posts on all reported irregularities all over the nation earlier at
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/11/08/november-8th-2022-presidential-politics-resistance-day-658/
Live in a liberal suburb near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. An antifa cell lives in an apartment in the neighboring house.
There are fewer democrat signs around the neighborhood this time.
But the most common democrat sign says: “Trans kids rights!”
When I voted there was no line, which was unusual in this liberal/leftist area.
But a woman came in while I was voting, and the people at the desk stopped her and said, “You already submitted a mail in ballot according to our records.” She said she “wasn’t sure if the mail in was received and asked to vote provisionally.” They let her.
Go vote, Pennsylvania independents and republicans!
They are allowing the Dems to double vote in PA this way.
Marc Elias is there to make sure every “vote” gets counted.
Payson, AZ – our poll was well organized, ample voting stations so no lines. Normal in person voters 400; already 100+. Republican handing out “vote for” cards in the parking lot. Not a Dem in sight.
Line at my polling place- which never happens – and almost everybody wearing red! Oakland County, MI
Rural south central PA, 20 miles northeast of Harrisburg. #385 in an 1100+ precinct at 10:45 am; not bad for a midterm. Trump carried this precinct both times at just over 80%. Mastriano is more popular than Oz in this area; the reverse is probably true in the leafy suburbs around Philly.
Heavy voting in Moultonborough, NH
Fingers crossed for Don Bolduc and
Karoline Leavitt.
At 9:15 this morning: 45-second wait at the national/state/county precinct, no wait at City Hall that had one item: To allow package (liquor) sales within the city limits. I was the 44th person to vote. Snellville’s population is 21,000.
I voted in Cocoa Beach this am. Steady stream of peeps around 10 am. It was very slow process bc of time required to complete ballots. They were four pages. Huge crowd at Publix!
Missouri – I was directed to a polling place that was not the usual, but the election officials were all of sober years, and were following protocol to a T. Ballots were scanned after a manual verification, they even asked me to verify how long I’d been at that address. I was one of the first groups in the door, but the parking lot line was wrapped around the building when I left. My ballot appeared to be wholly correct, no mistakes or odd printing to disqualify it.
Western Oregon. Cars lined up in parking lot to drop ballots in drop boxes. Have never seen that before. Bad weather yesterday snow/rain.
Take photos.
Gov DeSantis is sending Florida monitors to monitoe the federal monitors who may show up even though they were instructed that they had no basis for federal monitoring:
https://flvoicenews.com/florida-sending-monitors-to-watch-doj-personnel-who-enter-polling-places-counterproductive-and-could-potentially-undermine/
Had to read that twice:)
🤔 wonder if that’s why local radio had a report of feds monitoring luzerne county pa this morning
yep they’re all over
Now if only the other red state governors would do the same. Nullification and pushback by state and local government entities would go a long way toward slowing the destruction of our standard of living and our way of life.
In Cole County Missouri, the county election monitor told the Feds not to show up, they wouldn’t be allowed to watch.
I’m wearing my red cowgirl boots and a red shirt with bluejeans. With my white hair you can call me RED WHITE and BLUE today. Giddy-up!!
Barb you sound just like another Barb I know in Maine, a petite and cheerful MAGA lady.
I bet you look great!
NE TN – long lines and moving right along. Saw only one person with a mask. This is a red area with some small blue pockets; universities have caused that.
South Central rural Minnesota here in town of 1500…we were voters 5 & 6…no long line but steady cars pulling up to park… mostly GOP voters here as we are in CD7…a strong Farmers-for-Trump district… lots of resolute faces on my friends and neighbors…cold stone anger
We can only hope that we can oust walz and ellison from their jobs, they are complete
hacks
/they are complete criminals… there, fixed it for you Paintbrush 💪
Also, the doctor running against Walz is a primo MAGA candidate.
Trust me, Jensen will bail on Trump for RDS but he’s better than the corrupt Walz
Lines waiting to vote as soon as polls opened in Lakes Region, NH. This is very unusual for this town; a good sign.
Polling place VERY quiet – lots of friendly poll workers chatting. Noticeable difference this year in the racial makeup of the poll workers ….. it had gone very much one way in recent years past, very much the other this year. Interesting – wonder if Precinct Strategy (as promoted on War Room) had anything to do with it.
Unfortunately, our district was re-drawn so Abby Spanberger is no longer our representative – I was very much looking forward to casting a vote for her opponent. I suspect that is one reason the polls weren’t crowded in our district …. my guess is that NOVA is seeing a lot more traffic due to Abby – DemonRats want her to win some kinda’ bad. Our guy (that we don’t know at all) is incumbent & should win ….. hoping Yesli Vega can pull off a win against that Pelosi Puppet Spanberger – it really frosts her gourd to call her a PP!
6 machines, 1 tabulator, plenty of volunteers; 1 hour wait from the time polls opened in uber-Conservative Fair Oaks Ranch, TX.
May the good guys all win!
Here in Maricopa County, AZ. Just finished listening to Congressman Andy Biggs at a voting location with about 150 in line. This sounds good, but much of the long lines are due to a reported 20% of polling places having issues with ballots being tabulated. People are being told to just put their ballots in a pile to be tabulated “downtown” at a later date, and I believe this means as a provisional ballot. People are of course unwilling to trust “downtown” so are searching out working polling places and the fear is many won’t have the time or patience to get their votes in. 20% of polling places…and Governor Dem candidate Hobbs is current Sec of State in charge of our elections. Biggest conflict of interest I’ve ever seen.
Maricopa continues to be the poster child for horribly run elections with massive opportunities for fraud – shame on the Arizona Legislature and Governor Ducey for not overhauling the entire system after the 2020 debacle! And Katie Hobbs should not have been allowed to have anything to do with the policies/procedures for a race in which she is the candidate!
I did see a story that the Arizona GOP has lawyers on site throughout the state and they are supposedly on top of the issues but I pray it isn’t another “too little, too late” cluster of confusion…and if no judge is willing to take a case it doesn’t matter how many lawyers file suit!
I don’t believe anything the RNC or Kelly Ward says.
Kelli Ward is MAGA, not GOPe.
She made the AZ GOP MAGA.
“Shame on,…the Az. Legislature for not overhauling the entire system after the 2020 debacle.”
Perhaps “shame on you” for not doing your research, as I don’t know what more the MAGA contingent in the Az legislature could have done.
Mark Fitchem, now running for SoS, led a one seat MAGA Majority in the last session, but the Speaker of the Az. House, Rusty Bowers, is pute RINO swine.
MAGA Contingent pushed through the audit with floor vote, Bowers undermined the effort.
Fitchem wrote 11 seperate bills, to fix election problems.
Bowers used procedural blocks to prevent a floor vote, that WOULD have passed these bills, and sent them to Ducey, who would have HAD to sign.
The Az Republican party CENSURED Bowers, and directly urged all Republican voters to NOT vote for him, and he was primaried out.
In Az. thats the equivalent of primarying McConnell.
The Az MAGA Contingent WILL grow, this election, thats inevitable, and next session I expect LEADERSHIP positions to go to MAGA, gonna take LOTS of cheating to avoid that.
The Az Republican party still has SOME Rinos on Executive committees, getting these commies out of State parties is WORK.
But don’t blithely blame the State legislature, in every State where you are cursed with RINOS in public office, LOOK to the State R party, that installed them.
And get busy FIXING it.
Oh, I am aware of everything that Finchem and the MAGA contingency tried to do and my “shame on you” was not directed at them but at the spineless GOPe that refused to do the job the voters elected them to do! And that includes Doug Ducey who talked the talk but never actually did anything to buck the McCain machine!
I agree completely about the malfeasance of the State Party apparatus – the one in Arizona is bad but ours here in Washington State might be worse! It’s a cluster of cliques and good ol’ boys who are hopelessly out of touch with the realities on the ground, which is why they continue to field such horrible candidates. Many of us have tried to get involved and work to reform it from the inside out but they are firmly entrenched in their dysfunctional ways and it is a long, hard slog to make the necessary changes!
Thank you Dutch!
And…There’s no crying in the War Room!
Went to the Lake/Blake rally last night. Stevie Baby showed up. So awesome.
Just saw advice on Real America’s Voice for people who are leaving one polling place in AZ seeking another – you must CANCEL YOUR VOTE at the first one if you have already checked in. If you leave without cancelling you will be considered as having voted, and for nobody!
Oh that’s complete BS. This is worse than 3rd world manure.
Why do you say that? steph’s advice seems sound. Leaving the ballot is giving your ballot to be filled out by someone else. No crook could pass up that opportunity.
She was replying to MostlyRight.
Lol the BS is the deliberate dismantling of the machines, not steph.
Central Ohio Reporting In: Massive Turnout in this wealthy Columbus suburb. Five different tax increases on the ballot along with all the regular elections. I have not seen crowds like this EVER, not even in 2016.
Well mannered. Many new poll workers … hoping its the precinct strategy at work.
In Ohio, the voting machines are NOT connected to the internet.
My longest wait was 2004 election with GWB and Kerry.
How do you know that to be a 100% certainty?
I looked. However, the tabulator might be which could be a source of malfeasance .
Check out Dr. Frank from Cincy on Rumble.
The machines in Ohio are most certainly connected to the internet.
The cheaters have simply decided for now that a steal in increasingly red Ohio would just be too risky.
But, it does not mean that adjustments cannot be made in an election here and there.
Went to poles around 7:30 PST in kalifonicate. Line about 8 or so deep with about 8-10 booths with people voting. We’re permanent vote by mail here. Save Hawaii possibly, were the bluest state in the union unfortunately. The only repub that may have a slight chance is Lanhee Chen for controller. Shockingly the la slimes endorsed him, all others are rats.
Treepers. Please tell us your geography. Otherwise its pretty useless info.
There may be reasons for revealing one’s location…
Don’t have to be specific, the general region is informative.
My sister who lives in suburban Grand Rapids, MI is telling me that several polling stations in the area are having the same tabulator problems that Maricopa County is having. This is ridiculous 😡
Problems with electronic lottery system started last night in Pennsylavnia, lottery was delayed until this morning, two friends called from Washington Pa., to say voting machines were registering Democratic while voting Republican for several people who reported it, but this seems to happen often in Pa.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if, by now, they probably have that feature hard-coded into custom chips purchased from the CCP for each machine…
Only half kidding…
With the exception of some progress in Arizona and Georgia, I seriously doubt enough has been done in 2 years to prevent massive coordinated fraud. I hope I’m completely wrong. But, since nobody of consequence was punished the last time, there’s little reason to believe they won’t do it again.
But there IS a difference this time.
MILLIONS of Deplorables and Independents are awakened to the likelihood of massive fraud AND they are aware of the various tricks and schemes used to “cover” the fraud. So millions of eyes and ears are watching and listening this time that weren’t as well-informed in 2020 or earlier.
Well, that sounds good.
However, they have the bureaucracy, courts, media and “law enforcement” on their side.
I’m not optimistic, sorry.
As everybody knows by now, it’s not *who* votes that matters … it’s who *counts* the votes.
But we are watching the process now, very, very closely. And we no longer care about hurt feelings. We want our country back – taking portions of our vote and allocating to another candidate to achieve a favored outcome is a death blow to our nation.
That being said – Denton County Tx … constant stream of people, electronic tabulator of paper and ink ballots. No glitches this morning.
We did an early vote last Thursday in Denton County TX at our local fire station. Our first vote in Texas after moving from Louisiana last year. Steady stream of people, efficient and knowledgeable. Filled in our choices with ballpoint pens provided and personally inserted completed ballot in voting machine. Surprised and pleased that it was not electronic-only punch like we had in Louisiana (never felt comfortable with the machines there). Praying for good outcome nationwide, in spite of shenanigans.
Northern York County, Pa.
busy, no significant lines , lots of signatures of people having already voted before 11 am.
Very Red District but was subject to steal in 2020.
More busy than usual, here on LI, NY.
After a ~600mile traverse up & thru CNY this past weekend, my guesstimate ratio of 1,000 Zeldin : 1 witch lawn signs remains accurate…throughout the state. No friggn way the unelected witch wins, fair & square!
PS,
I made sure to personally thank EVERY poll worker today (as always). While wearing my KEEP AMERICA GREAT hat on, of course 😉
Godspeed Patriots!!!
C’mon Mr. Lee Zeldin…
I’m in WNY and Zeldin signs everywhere I’ve seen 3 for Hochul and one of tbem was missing this morning. Also no hochul signs at all in my hometown on the usual Democrat lawns.
I haven’t voted yet but it always goes the same way with me. I say to the poll worker, “Here’s my ID.” The worker says, “I don’t need to see your ID.” I say, “I insist that you look at my ID, and I’m not giving you my signature until you actually look at my ID, because otherwise, how would you know that it is me?”
You challenged yourself? LOL.
Exactly! That’s the entire point of the exercise. It’s to point out to all the poll workers that it should be their job to challenge everyone!
Can confirm.
That is exactly the problem with drop boxes- nobody can challenge the voter.
Williamson County, TN (Republican area just south of Nashville,TN) polls were busy at 7:30 am and still continue to be busy, lines out the door. Hoping we see a red tsunami in an already red area.
My church is my polling place in Jupiter, FL (Palm Beach) Been here for 3 Presidential elections and never a wait. This morning at 8AM there were lines. Encouraging? Yeah
Northern Kentucky here. Nothing unusual here but we had two options. Vote on a touch screen that printed out your ballot afterwards or vote on paper. Both types were tabulated via scanners at the end. Vast majority of people preferred paper ballots.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1589989089809268736.html
Wake County – NC Triangle area – Polls were more active than usual. Everything moved efficiently – No glitches! Wake is a county that *watchers* were suppose to be sent. Not where I voted! So today a very big FJB AND HIS EVIL CREW!!!
Long line to vote Sun City Arizona Maricopa County
heard this on the radio this morning……before you vote…..stop and fill your vehicle with gas …….stop and buy groceries…..pay your heating and electric bill……and if you have one …..check your 401k……..then go vote
where are you??
Maricopa county here. Scottsdale, specifically. First voting location tabulators “not working.” Second location, long line because of overflow from first location, presumably. Completed ballot and would not scan. Me, along with two or three others in a row were told (and shown) a blurry area on the backside of the ballot the was the explanation for the inability to scan it. We all had to have our original ballots destroyed and new ballots given and completed. Entire process took nearly two hours. I’m pretty sure the motive is to get people to beg for more mail-in and online balloting. And we all know what that means.
Should add that the blurry area was not candidate specific.
When I voted in southeastern AZ, the poll worker checking everyone in told each voter to be careful when handling the ballot as it comes out of the machine at end of voting because the ink can smudge and cause the tabulator to reject it.
Busiest I have ever seen my voting place. Six precincts vote there. First time I’ve ever had to wait in a line. Only 3 people deep, but a line none the less. Metairie, Louisiana
Boxes of ballots that can then be fortified with fraudulent votes.
