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?
We vote in a tiny village near Corning, NY. The kind of place where everyone knows everyone else. I usually vote later in the day, and I’d be #65 or so. We voted early this morning and we were #55 & #56, so I’d say people around here are really anxious to say goodbye to Gov. Hokul and hello Gov. Zeldin.
Ditto.
I’m in a rural town between Syracuse and Skaneateles.
My son and I voted at 11:00 am and we were #484 and 485.
The poll workers said it’s been busier than usual all morning.
We at Krebs Restaurant in Skaneateles when we were kids. Fabulous food.
It was bought out by Adam Weitsman several years ago and they completely renovated the place.
We only live about 10 minutes down the road from there, but surprisingly we’ve never eaten there.
We usually go to the Bluewater Grill or the Sherwood Inn.
Sweet. Hope it happens!
Can they vote to “say Goodbye” to Chuck Schumer where you are, also?
Seabrook NH. Hubby went at 7AM, and it was already mobbed with a huge line. He proudly showed me his sticker and declared that he’d voted “Straight Republican”
I went at 9:30. The parking lot was full, but no line.
I’ve posted this before…we have a funny tradition here in Seabrook. You walk up and present your ID.
That person then turns around and “announces” you to the (huge) room.
Seriously, they YELL your name. 😳😂
And your ID is returned.
And you’re directed to your check in table. So weird. But I’d miss it if they stopped.
#RedWaveIncoming
That’s what is supposed to happen in Illinois too. LOUDLY state the person’s name. 😆
Huh … didn’t know. Haven’t had that happen
I THINK the reason for that, is in areas where ANYONE can “challenge” any voters eligibility to vote.
When they call out the name, loudly anyone can announce, just as loudly they are challenging, and step up with a copy of a death certificate (for example).
Like in a wedding? “Speak now or forever hold your peace?”
That’s pretty nifty.
Never happened yet in my corner of SOIL!
THE ” OLD DAYS, WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME “.
The WAY my Hometown Township WAS –
It was a BIG Celebration at the Registrar Table when the NEXT Generation Started Voting.
THE OLD DAYS
This year the yelling of names and parties was missing. The Republican challenger was not taking voters names; he was just marking numbers of voters.
Went to my precinct voting location and ran into an old friend and workmate working as Repub poll watcher. He said he was sick of the crud that happened in the last two general elections and made the determination that he would only be a part of the problem if he didn’t do something, even relatively minor. This was the FIRST TIME I have ever seen someone who acknowledged being a Repub poll watcher at a polling place. The whole process was working, and I have no issues to report. Let’s all hope and pray that it stays that way across the country.
Please read the article on The Federalist about how NO Republicans were permitted to have any election input since 1981 as a result of an agreement. Mind numbing.
Democrat vote fraud is like having a case of body lice . . . the more one looks, the more one finds and now that Americans are looking, the parasites are squirming.
If conservatives are not able to get control of the House and Senate after these disastrous last two years, then it never will happen.
We’ll see.
Too few cared a out the cheating
The problem isn’t the vote, it is who is counting the votes (including the hundreds of thousands of illegal votes which will show up after midnight tonight, once again coincidentally all in favor of the Dems).
You are correct. Look at who counts the vote in Philadelphia, SEIU. Can you imagine the possibilities. If the Democrats are low enough to do the Russia hoax with a made up Steele Dossier and impeach on a Ukraine call, they are low enough to get SEIU to substitute boxes of mail-in Brandon ballots for boxes of legit mail-in ballots. Since the mail-in ballot has been stripped of any identification any audit will always count the proper number of ballots every time. No one would know except the person that switched the boxes.
I’ve noticed a similar thing in recounts; every voter recount that I followed over the many decades always ended up in favor of democrats. Maybe I missed some that ended in favor of republicans. Oh well….
and who is creating all the fake votes for the mail ins and drop boxes and “phantom trunk-found ballots”
And Hobbs in AZ as SoS counts and she is running against Lake. She should have stepped down months ago.
There’s a lot of doom and gloom around here these days. Not surprising, but that’s what the adversary wants to see. I don’t know what kind of general or soldier would say that a single battle will determine the war. Don’t give in.
With all respect, I suggest that, instead of “this is do or die” we say something more like “we’re about to find out how easy or difficult it is going to be to clean up the mess that we’ve sat by and let these vandals make.”
castello,
“YES,…THIS!”
This election IS an opportunity to gain territory, but we need to fight, HARD for every inch, as our enemy fights hard, and suffers many casualties to hold territory.
And, this electiin is a “progress report” telling us how far we have come, and how much more work we have to do.
Our enemy would be derelict if they didn’t have an army of “Tokeo Rose’s deployed here and on other Conservative MAGA sites, to sew despondency.
Every vote not cast, because one of us is discouraged, is a vote they don’t have to cheat to flip or otherwise counteract.
I’ve observed the enemy’s FUD onslaught here for years now.
I miss the good commenters who gave up and went away because of it.
But I’m not going anywhere.
indeed. that it is this tenuous is frightening. sanity itself is on the ballot
Election inspector in Michigan, so far a large turnout, poll challenger here doing a great job- challenged a couple ballots. Let’s turn Michigan Red!
There were 5-6 people in line. Smalltown Louisiana. Hopefully everyone voted early and not just didn’t vote.
Many people in RI are calling a local radio station stating they are voting all Republican. RI is usually blue. Other callers are stating the polling places in various locations are abnormally busy. Go red or the United States will be dead.
Ballot tracker Arizona. You can see if your ballot has been accepted if you mailed it.
https://my.arizona.vote/AbsenteeTracker.aspx
Suburb of Twin Cities: the polling place was very busy at first with people voting before work. Mid-morning was relatively busy also, and not with younger voters. At all.
There was an unmarked police car parked out front.
Near New Ulm here
Voted at Tuscany Oaks in North San Antonio, Texas this morning at 10 AM. No problems and a steady line. New voting machine where you insert a slip of paper that records your votes. After you vote, the machine ejects the ballot. You can examine the result then put the ballot in a locked box. Much more accurate if they actually preserve the completed ballots.
Same in Round Rock north of Austin voted early!
same in Harris County (Houston) TX
Early voted in North Central San Antonio, Brookhollow Library, solid red district. Fingers crossed no Robert Francis O’Rourke.
Here on the ‘Eastern Shore’ of Mobile bay in Southern Alabama the poll station was packed around 10:00. Lines of cars coming and going.
It is in God’s hands. He always brings good from evil. Just not on our personal time schedule.
I have family in Daphne and Fairhope!
Just down the road from Spanish Fort
Yep! I’ve been to Mobile many a time riding shotgun with Dad. Lots of fun visiting the AL kin when I was a kid.
In Foley, husband and I were in line at 6:45. Breezed through when we were let in at 7. Good line waiting when we exited and parking lot filling up. Only one person at the Provisional table.
I used to go to ‘Foley Mart’ for boots back in the day–the outlet stores. I don’t think I ever knew the proper name for the place. Lol!
just North of ya’ll here in Clarke County
I had a gggrandmother from Clarke. She married a gent from Monroe.
Fairly light in Fairfield Ct , no surprises expected here , all blue ,will be interesting to see margins of victory for major Dems – Gov. Sleepy eyes Lamont , Sen. Danang Dick and 100% poodle Congressman Himes. One interesting thing on Ballot , constitutional amend. to allow early voting in CT . (Voted no ) will be interesting to see how that turns out – The Dems already have their fail safe after voting process in place -via the traditional ‘Bridgeport car trunk discovered ballots’ , so don’t think they need this , perhaps just as insurance (s//)
In solid blue Durham NC they find lots of ballots in car trunks, too…all for Democrats. Imagine that.
My dads family was from Waterbury, Danand Dick! LMAO, that guy!
I voted no to early voting in CT too..We are one of only 4 states that
doesn;t allow that.. Was busy at 6:00 when poles opened here in South
Central CT..
In rural PA, north of City of Reading, there are reports that the voting machines are switching people’s votes from R to D when they print their vote receipt out.
Oh no. Are you getting any help from the GOP?
Report all voting issues to: ElectionEyes.US
Sw Missouri…went at my usual 11:00 am time. Lot was pretty full but no line to get in door. Took my paper ballot and fed into the machine (tabulator) . I was #501 when usually I am about 150. Good sign of a heavy turnout.
I read these comments and I feel like wow, this is the real America and America really is great! Whoever has perverted this process of democracy needs to pay a high price for the evil they have created in the world
…
Voter turn out at 6:30 am at Pickerington, Ohio, Fairfield county, was the largest I’ve seen in 26 years. I can’t speak to other times of the day…check-in had 6 clerk stations, voting was smooth…7 adults in family pulled the R handle, no to two tax levies, yes to two issues: 1) tighter control over bail (control removed from ohio supreme court, considered a public safety improvement) and 2) only US citizen can vote, local jurisdictions cannot change (yellow springs allowed non-citizens to vote a while back). Both issues were backed by republicans, and opposed by democrats and ACLU and other such organizations.
Long lines at semi rural az. Lots of red and positive people in line
Here in Wyoming the races were decided by the primary and those Republicans are essentially running unopposed now. What remains are party-unaffiliated positions like the school boards. We voted for the school moms.
Excellent! Most of the school boards need to be FLUSHED of their incumbents. I cant believe whats going on in the Casper schools, and of course Teton county.
Took 1.5 hours to cast my ballot in Harris County (Texas). Texas did away with straight-ticket voting in 2020. So in addition to the long line, too few voting machines and a very long ballot it took much longer than usual. Didn’t see any poll watchers, but tempers flared among the voters in line a couple of times. One lady thought people were standing too close to her, and one man was angry that a few guys behind him were chatting. In all my 50 years of voting, I’ve never seen any anger just neighbors chatting to pass the time. Guess it’s beyond time to move away from the city.
As someone that has family in Houston, I agree. Time to move out.
People are stressed and angry about inflation, and crime.
Liberal boomer men are STEAMED right now, I love it
DOJ has announced it will send election monitors, to ensure compliance with federal voting laws, to polling locations in 67 jurisdictions in 24 states, including Maricopa County AZ, Harris County TX & Fulton County GA.
Did you notice this or able to know who they were?
Sounds like you were in line w/ a couple transplanted PNW’ers.
ugh.
I voted (while wearing my favorite red jacket of course) around 8:30 this morning. I’m in NE Ohio right next to part of Tim Ryan’s district. This is a pretty conservative suburb with lots of signs for Vance and others running on the Republican side. We have a few houses in my immediate neighborhood who still have Trump signs from 2020 along with Trump 2024 signs and/or flags.
The parking lot at my polling place was pretty full but there were no long lines. Lots of voters inside and coming and going but just a short wait for an open voting booth or scanner. I noticed the lady checking my id looking at it very closely. I saw a man standing off to the side with a clipboard just watching what was going on. I assumed he was a poll watcher but not really sure what one of those look like.
It was very efficient from what I could see. Everyone was nice, but business-like. Several people manning the scanners to help if people weren’t sure of how to use those. First time I remember that many people around to help.
Anyone out there in Arizona (or elsewhere) know anything about this?
https://thepostmillennial.com/dominion-voting-machines-in-arizona-malfunctioning-as-election-day-kicks-off?utm_campaign=64487
NOT MALFUNCTIONING!!!
PART OF THE STEAL PLAN!!
GET IT RIGHT!!!
Lots of info upthread and on daily thread about Maricopa schenenigans.
Valley girl SoS hobbs wont recuse herself while running for gov. Big red flag!
Real America’s Voice (americasvoice.news) is covering the Maricopa debacle in detail and has been for a couple of hours.
In a nutshell, the Maricopa “process” is to print a ballot for each person who walks in the door to vote (dumb!), and they don’t have enough reliable working printers at 50% of the polling places.
The solution for our determined side voters waiting in line is ugly but necessary. Each voter must demand any printed ballot that doesn’t look good (hard to read, specks, that sort of thing) be spoiled and be issued another to again, carefully, fill out. Reprint and if it happens again, do it again, and again until a good readable ballot is produced.
DO NOT LET THEM PUT A BALLOT INTO “THE BOX” for later counting.
And don’t leave to try another polling place unless you officially cancel the vote because once you are registered, it will not count if you leave.
Very hard on the old people to stand all that time. I know because I stood outside the polls in the freezing blueMA weather this morning from 7 am to 11:30, tottered home, and will be going back at 4 to do it again until they close at 8.
I was never in the military, but comparatively, I simply presume I have it easy.
Illinois is forcing voters to use sharpies. I told them I had a pen, but they told me it had to be a sharpie. They said it wouldn’t bleed through, but of course it did. They said if the ballot is rejected, they’d give me another one. Luckily, my ballot was accepted, but I heard in Maricopa County, AZ the sharpie changes your vote. Just the fact that we live in a Democracy and we have to worry about stuff like this is tragic.
I’m in Illinois, no sharpies at my location. Where abouts did you see this?
I just voted in a very blue part of IL (Evanston) and they also had sharpies. I used machine instead and had to wait for about 15 minutes. Good news is the ballot printed out and all was correct. Very long lines which was a surprise because everyone here votes early. Didn’t see many people who had the “look” of a Republican but hopefully some of my lefty neighbors have had enough!
Why did you let them push you around!?!?
Should’ve ignored the SOB’s and used black pen.
Or asked to see election law requiring Sharpie!!!
Why are so many people such scared rabbits when it comes to their rights!?!?
Report it at: ElectionEyes.US
Its bullshit. The sharpie bleeds thru, putting your ballot into “adjudication” where some poll worker looks at your ballot, allegedly detirmines your intent, marks a “fresh” ballot accordingly, and puts THAT thru the machine.
Ball points do not “bleed thru” nor do they “gum up the scanners” another argument made in Az, during the primary.
Take a BLACK BALL POINT with you, to the polls.
Ask them why MAIL IN BALLOTS, which are put thru the same tabulators as same day ballots, clearly instruct absentee voters to use a BLACK BALL POINT PEN.
And politely RAISE HOLY HELL.
I live in a western suburb of Chicago and we had black pens, not sharpies. I voted around 9 am and was #216. There was a steady line, but not overly long. This was the first time I can recall where my town opted to use an electronic check-in via tablet vs. the old paper poll book. They also printed a ballot for each voter on demand instead of handing you a preprinted one to take to a voting booth. I saw one booth available for those that wanted to vote electronically and then print their completed ballot to take to the scanner. Not me…I’m fine with paper and pen.
For the first time in my voting history I attended enough political meetings throughout the year where I could actually put a face to the name of most of the judges I voted for along with some legislative candidates. To think back on all of the other elections where I voted straight ticket but in a more mindless way is a bit unsettling. I’m proud to see so many fellow citizens re-engaging in our civic process such as my cousin who signed up to be an election judge for the first time this year. It gives me much needed hope that we can turn the ship around.
Here in Iowa, the waiting lines in my precinct are, by an order of magnitude, the largest I have ever seen.
West Palm Beach, FL
Trump… I voted for DeSantis…
Space Capitol of the world here in FL…12:15 pm 30 people in line…will go back mid afternoon to see if line is shorter. Mom fractured her humerus 25 days ago and i need to wheelchair her. never voted other then election day. Hope i don’t wreck my knee more pulling that chair down the front door threshold…3″rise rubber threshold now ordered! Prayers for Mom please…I realize now what she went through raising 3 boys…I now cook, clean, laundry, help lift up, down, toilet, lawn, etc…God Bless the caretakers of the world…it is hard work! (are they gonna roll the SLS Artemis 1 back?)
I see the KSC states launch is a ‘go’ for Nov 14. Launch window opens at 13:07 A Eastern.
And prayers for you AND Mom! It is hard caregiving, no doubt.
Argggh. Phones! 12:07A. Sorry. I’ve got big hands and typing on a phone is dismal.
Do they offer curbside voting?
No. I got Mom out of the car and into wheelchair and parked her at the voter entrance which had a line going back 20 people. Mistake I made was not moving her to the end of line and instead went and parked the car…walked back and line had grown to 40 people. Asked the election helper if they had wheelchair tables and he said yes, but you have to go wait in line. total process from in line to leaving after voting was 52 minutes. Thank god she didn’t take her diuretic today1 lol (I went and checked the line at 1:30 pm and had about 40 people waiting also.same as around 12:15… I brought her to vote at 2:30pm)
just finished voting on Long Island (NY). Voted for Zeldin, and Pione (running against Schumer) De’Esposito who is running to unseat the Dem in my district, NY4 and i forget whoever is running against Lettia James!
parking lot was packed, but not inside. I wonder if teachers are working in some capacity today?
Really dismayed to hear about all the “malfunctions” happening in AZ and elsewhere.
Voter turnout is currently at 29.97% for Cuyahoga County as of 12:31 PM according to the
@cuyahogaboe
.
The city of Cleveland is currently at 18%.
The remaining 97% of Cleveland voters historically cast their ballots after they get home from work.
Voting issues here in TN. Apparently the voting machines keep crashing, only 2-3 people can vote before they have to restart the machines.
Seriously!? You believe that BS lie!?
They’re messing with the votes, man!
Did you report it or just drive away believing their BS story???
My plan is to vote in MA around 6 PM tonight (polls close at 8). I will get a good, long look at the number of voters on my street that voted today.
I have already heard anecdotes on talk radio today where the MA voter was ‘told’ they already voted. I will relish the moment if that happens to me!
Look for me on either ‘Cops’ or, ‘Voters Gone Wild’ if I’m told I already voted.

someone paid huge sums of money for voting roll histories. why? so they could cast votes for people they don’t think will appear
That is so true, if informed that they already voted and didn’t.
Call police about identity theft, bring more excitement and investigation into voting fraud. Hope Springs eternal.
Polls opened at 7am in SC. Live in a smaller town about 30 minutes south of Charlotte. Wife and I got there around 7:15am. There were 15-20 people voting / in line. It was a little surprising there weren’t more. I expected there to be a larger crowd. Commuters typically vote before work, so thought we’d see many more.
We did see one man who voted, got his paper copy of his vote, then had some kind of error in the paper copy. They had to get a supervisor to call someone on the phone, but then got him a new ballot to vote again. Not sure if this is the correct procedure, but it appears this is what happened.
Wife and I both made sure we double-checked our printed votes before putting them in the electronic tabulator machine.
Broward County at the middle school walking distance from home. Waited until 9:30 for crowds to be at work. No lines, poll workers entered my info from id and I verified info on screen and signed. No issues
Long time reader and admirer of Sundance, Seneca the Elder, GB Bari, Mrs. Jones, Dekester, Dutchman, Country Class Vulgarian, Tiffthis and so many more, and my first time posting from the Bay State.
There are two major ballot questions. Question 1 would raise taxes on ‘millionaires’ at the same time that the state has a $5 billion surplus and is obligated to return $3biillon to taxpayers. Even in loony liberal Massachusetts, I fully expect this to go down in flames.
Question 4, which was somehow not included in the voter information booklet by incumbent Secretary of State Bill Galvin, and which I only heard about in the last week from the new-blood, MAGA Town Republican Chairwoman, would seek to validate the legislature’s freebie hand out of driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. I feel a very strong undercurrent that will overturn the legislature with a huge “NO”.
Team Klaus Schwab/WEF/Harvard’s favorite son in the 6th District, Seth Moulton, tiptoed out into the district for the first time in 2 ½ years to what would normally be friendly territory in Newburyport, and tried to gaslight his opponent, Bob May, who he has refused to debate, as he said he did not want to give air time to ‘election deniers’ and the Sachems present did not universally fawn over his clown talking point:
https://www.newburyportnews.com/news/local_news/moulton-hosts-lively-public-forum-in-newburyport/article_5fc453cc-4f0f-11ed-bab2-4b4f5db75c84.html
Rayla Campbell, the Republican candidate for Secretary of State, who has fought against mandates, called out CRT, human trafficking and the Bay State’s absurd annual $500 LLC filing fee, has star power, and is obviously the reason why the Feds are sending ‘election observers’ (thugs and stealers) to her home municipality of Randolph.
The fact that Feds have picked 8 Massachusetts municipalities to bear pressure on betrays obvious panic that they know the natives are not happy even in the deepest of deep states.
Salem is Moulton’s hometown and the seat of his congressional office. Methuen is the home of Diane Dizoglio, current State Senator who is running for auditor.
They are afraid that Campbell and other Republicans will win and that WEF Seth and Dizoglio will be sent packing, unless they pack the ballots, of course.
Welcome to posting at the Treehouse GreyRockMan! 😀
Thank you, stolzpus, GB Bari and steph_gray!
God forgive me for overlooking, with respect and admiration the incomparable Nimrodman, and a fellow exile in New England, RF Burns.
What else is there to say after yesterday, other than prayer?
While new as a poster on the Treehouse, I have put myself out on the front line in my local community in many ways. I realize that my entire life, myself and everyone around me has been beaten down with un-ceasing volleys of mass MKULTRA MIND CONTROL and bull-stool.
Yesterday’s Autumn Ballot Harvest on the Blood Moon feels like one more kick in the gut. I am the only one with PTSD from this?
Glad to have you on board GreyRockMan!
Looking forward to reading more posts when you are so motivated! Looks like you pay close attention to the shenanigans!
Thank you for clearing up why Salem and Methuen are on that list! I’ve been puzzling…
I’m still wondering about Malden – but, wait – isn’t that Markey’s supposed home? Of course I mean the house where he is never seen and nobody knows him. 😆
I don’t think that Carpetbagger Fauxcahontas ever had a proper home base here…did she?
Welcome to the Treehouse from another soul behind blueMA enemy lines…
SW Missouri. A pretty good turnout so far for a midterm. At least 10 of the candidates on the ballot are Republicans running unopposed. We are RED here. We also had five ballot initiatives to vote on, and I think I voted “wrong” on one because of the order they had them in. I was going to vote No-Yes-Yes-No-No on them, marked the first one No, and noticed that the order was different from what I read online about them. Sheez. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about this part of the country. We’re probably 70/30 R/D here.
Howdy neighbor!
Henderson, Nevada – retirement community here in Anthem Sun City.
Massive turnout – line wait is 90 minutes. Mail-in an option here, but many more folks voting in person today – hopefully because of the lack of trust in this pathetic, corrupt state that days takes and days to count the vote. Hope we can turn Governor, Attorney General and Senate RED to put an end to this affront to our nation.
Here in NW Louisiana we vote at a small community library – there was nowhere to park! I haven’t seen this many at our little place since both Trump turnouts. Hope it’s an omen!
Berks County PA, went smooth. Took about 20 minutes. Outside the poll there were two ladies in chairs handing flyers with all the Republican candidates on it (this is normal for my area). One new thing is that my choices were actually printed on the ballot after the touch screen. Last time it was just bar code. So I was able to verify my choices before sliding into the counting machine.
Our town in central NH busy enough that parking overflowed into surrounding area. Usually the community center is busy, but rarely more the 75% full in the parking lot; today the lot needed to be fully doubled and even then there may still be some overflow.
No lines, people inside moving very efficiently.

To all my Arizona friends: Your vote could be a difference-maker. Get to the polls. Once you’re there, stay in line no matter what, and cast your ballot. This is going to be a great day! Do your part and let’s win! #ArizonaFirst @bgmasters @KariLake @abrahamhamadeh @azgop
Rural central Texas. My town’s population is 1,100. We’re mostly Republican, but the population is split between land-owning ranchers and lower income people who live in town (which only exists because a highway and railway pass through). Today’s turnout looked as busy as a Presidential election. Unusual for a midterm election. Only saw fellow rancher types. Would be willing to bet good money there were no Beto votes while I was there.
SATX – Long Lines (REPUBLICANS)!
Making sure BETO stays the Hell out of our Government!
Happy Voting Day All!
Southern Maine, a half hour north of Portland here. I went at noon, admittedly, but the turnout looks to be very heavy to me.
Hard to tell if we’ll be able to get that odious witch Mills out of the Blain House (Imagine, a campaign resting mostly on murdering babies.), but my take after driving around the southern part of the state quite a bit is that there is about twice the enthusiasm for the R candidate, Lepage, and for R candidates up and down the line. Portland is the place to worry about. Hopefully, they’re all too high to bother to vote.
Consistent with what I had seen in Gorham, Maine. It took me more than two hours to get through those lines this morning.
General Mills sucks. Go Governor LePage.
Some polls in Bell County, Texas opened one and a half hours late due to glitches in the computer systems (logging into network Wi-Fi…per a poll worker). Only 8 polling locations in Temple, Texas. Stood in line for 1 hour. Some people leaving.
Make sure to demand a new ballot if this happens and don’t just leave it to get counted later. It won’t be.
Just voted to fire Kathy Hochul.
The poll workers said they’ve been really busy this morning at our rural polling place in central NY.
Iredell County(red county) here in North Carolina. We went around 10am. Twenty people ahead of me. After I finished my voting, the machine said 449. Went the same time in the spring for the primary and I was number 178…..
FJB!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
40 minute wait here in South St. Louis County, MO.
Suburbs of Cuyahoga County in Northeast Ohio.
Back in 2020, at around mid-morning there was no room in the parking lot, a 2 hour wait to get in the door, with the huge line starting at 7:00 am and holding steady until after dark, and confusion when some people found out they’d been assigned a different polling place and would have to go somewhere else after having waited 2 hours.
Today at around 9:30 a.m., I was able to get a decent parking spot, the lot was about 2/3 full. Steady stream of people but you walked right through the door with no waiting. Lines inside, took a total of a half hour to vote.
Most people wore black clothing. A few here or there wore red or blue or Cleveland Indians gear. Saw someone wearing clothes labeled “Born Again Pagan”. I wore a red-white-and-blue T-shirt.
You filled out a paper ballot which was then fed into a scanner. Poll workers efficiently kept the lines moving.
I live in the same area and found the experience the same as you did. My son and I were only there for 1/2 hour. Everyone was helpful and they even had an area for us older folks to sit while filling out our ballots.
