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?

Lots of video and info on Maricopa at Jack Posebiec, election wizard, and people’s pundit twitter.
I use Carl DeMaio’s voting list to fill out my ballot on my kitchen table in california.
Then I insert it into a locked ballot box at my library.
There was no line last year .
…..
In vetting and endorsing candidates, Carl DeMaio and Reform California use the following criteria:

SW AZ: Voter turnout here is insane. This is my 4th election in the same place, same precinct, same building. I’ve never seen it with more than 15 people in line.
Today, there were ~100 people in line and ~50 actively voting. The parking lot was completely full.
One of the guys from my church was there helping with the election, and he hooked me up to skip a lot of the line since I’m in a walking boot. He said he has also never seen this kind of turnout, and that it had been that full since they opened at 6am. And there was still two hours before the lunch time rush.
I hope the extra 85 people weren’t illegal aliens, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were voting all over Arizona.
Problems in maricopa county…machine issues..i worked 2020..same issues as then
Thanks for creating this column, SD.
Northern WY here. Turned in my absentee ballot this morning, and asked the elections secretary how the ES&S tabulators handle write ins and how the process is done after that. She really had no clue.
Major problems in Maricopa.

A friend just called me and said Maricopa County fired her as a poll worker because the tabulation machines were not working and they were telling people to put them in box 3 and she was telling people do not do that to wait until the tabulators are working and put them in in
2/. person because she does not know what’s gonna happen with those ballots if when they leave the precinct. Jordan Conradson was on speaker the entire time and heard the entire conversation
She was threatened to be removed by police. Smh.

Arizona voters — please be aware that there are dozens of Republican lawyers monitoring the tabulating situation in Maricopa County (and all AZ Counties), speaking with the county lawyers, and ensuring that votes WILL count. Please do your part and VOTE! We have your back! 🗳🇺🇸

Her tweet actually isn’t helpful. People are wondering what they should and are allowed to do. Now we see some people getting turned away, is that proper? A county clerk said people can wait around and try the tabulators again, is that proper too?
People need advice, and not just various options, PRIORITIZED options. Where are the experts? Where’s the AZ GOP?
Yes, where is the Arizona GOP. No sense of urgency on this issue, and no drive to stop the cheat, even though Democrats have telegraphed the cheat for 2 weeks.
“Yes, where is the Arizona GOP.”
In on it?
Monterey County, CA…just came back from voting; no long lines. But, I wanted to vote in person so the election official gave to me an official voting ballot and then took my mail-in ballot and wrote surrendered on the outside of the envelope and then I asked “why don’t you just tear up my mail-in ballot. I was told that my surrendered mail-in ballot was going into a bag to be returned to the County’s election headquarters, and then they showed the bag to me. I stopped the entire process and I demanded that someone right there should write “surrendered” on the actual mail-in ballot and not just on the outside envelope. When I asked who controls the destruction of the turned-in ballots, they really couldn’t give me a clear answer other than saying that it’s viewed by a few people. I persisted and said that’s not going to work for me and that this is exactly why we have election integrity issues, so one of the volunteers suggested that she take my turned-in ballot out of the envelope and write “surrendered” on the actual ballot (she knew I was not going to walk out of there peacefully) and I said that would work for me (and my wife’s turned-in ballot). I suggested that they do this on all turned-in ballots (which they probably won’t). Total bullsh!t that they expect people to trust a few people overseeing the destruction of the turned-in ballots. We need to get rid of mail-in ballots !!!
Good for you for standing your ground!!!
God bless you, sir. Keep an eye out for Herr Garland’s crack election integrity troops … they may be visiting soon.
Why would you bring your mail in ballot to where you vote in person? I simply tear up my mail in ballot the instant it arrives in the mail. Then I don’t have to bother arguing with the dishonest poll workers.
Don’t the officials require you to turn in your mail-in ballot if you have been sent one? In IL that is required.
They send you a mail in ballot, even though you didn’t request one.
On election day, when you check in at the polls, they tell you they have it recorded, that you already voted (by mail).
You insist you didn’t, and they faun you off with a “provisional ballot” and assure you that your vote will be “adjudicated” later, and some poll official will detirmine how you voted.
If you take the mail in ballot with you, on election day, when they say “You already voted” you can show them the UNOPENED, mail out ballot, addressed to you, as proof you DID NOT VOTE by mail.
Its one way SOME use, to try and keep them from stealing their vote.
Just returned , Fresno Ca. Took 6 attempts to secure my ballot. Each prior 5 attempts … Continued to display ” error occurred ” … Poll Workers continued their full on pressure to get me to just do it by hand. I disagreed , A worker had to call someone in Fresno County … his response was … , uh , they ‘ inform me …. your ballot is good. This is BS …
Agree, get rid of mail in ballots, in all but a few cases of genuine need.
Another scam is “provisional ballots” which is a situation open to fraud.
We are in St. Augustine, FL. We arrived at our polling place at 7:05 a.m. and there was a line. It was out the building and got longer as we waited. The poll worker said that he had NEVER seen a line like this in 17 years! Many of us in line shared how we had fled Blue states to Vote Red!!!
Hey neighbor I’m in Ponte Vedra Beach, heading out to vote now. My daughter voted earlier in Nocatee long lines there. My precinct is on beach so we shall see.
Voted today at 11:00 AM and the polling place was packed. Very unusual for such a crowd at mid-terms. People were commenting about all the political ads finally being over. Got into a discussion with 2 people behind me, a woman close to my age, and a younger man. He made a comment about Trump waiting til after the mid- terms to announce b/c he is a spoiled brat and wouldn’t go away.
I spoke up and said Trump is nothing of the sort. He then said Trump is crazy and has a ego problem. I disagreed again and the woman joined me. She said she likes Trump because he is pro-life and that is her main issue in politics. The man stopped talking and the woman and I continued discussing politics.
This year we actually have paper ballots! Our Republican Attorney General candidate, who ran last year and narrowly lost, sued the State of DE and was victorious in eliminating same day registration and obtaining paper ballots. I still think DE will still be solid blue because of Wilmington and Dover, the 2 biggest cities in DE.
Thanks for speaking up and standing your MAGA ground!!! We earned it!
Voted around noon at South Tampa location and parking lot was full but no real line. Still though, many more people than last election. My ballot was rejected twice (supposedly for marking outside line of circle – said the volunteer after looking at my ballot😒). I was reissued another and that one worked.
…Also, my carpenter told me he voted at 7am in Lutz and there was already a line. He’d not seen that at his location before.
Checking in from Belknap County, Gilford NH.
Voted just after 11:00 am. This is usually a time when lighter turnout is occurring.
Parking lot at community center overflowing and I had to wait in my alphabet line for about 5 minutes to show ID and obtain my ballot. Voting booths were full had to wait a couple of minutes for a space to open up, then had to wait in line to run my ballot through the tabulator. At that hour of election day it’s usually in and out, but not today.
I sense that volume locally will be up, and the Sec of State remarked several days ago he was expecting a heavier turn out than the 2018 mid term, which I believe was a record for a mid term in NH.
Well at least you were required to show an ID. Not here in the communist state of CA.
I voted at 9 am this morning in the small farm town of Bunnlevel NC. Voting was light but had been steady all morning was what I was told. I didn’t expect long lines in our precinct because of the population. Since we had recently moved to the area,we did gather good information on the county Republican Party and will be joining at the next meeting. Steady and determined to crush this present administration.
Good for you, and glad for your resolve.
Voting was pretty light at 6am in my deep blue NYC suburb. Recognized most of the other voters there at 6am as among the 30% or so of Republicans that survive here. Very little enthusiasm for Gauleiter Hochul. Usually the hardcore leftist commuter voters make a point of showing up early. Almost no yard signs for her and these are people that never miss a chance to virtue signal their adherence to “goodthink”. Zeldin yard signs about 8-10:1. And again in a place where a Trump sticker would get your car vandalized.
Oh, same in CA. Having any conservative bumper stickers or yard signs is just asking to be vandalized.
If you live in a blue area and want to move, but can’t sell your house, just put a TRUMP 2024 sign in the yard.
When a commie burns your house to the ground, collect from your insurance company and move.
😂
Not in the OC, my neighborhood particularly.
We are an island in a sea of crazy
Reporting from Northern Westchester/ Putnam NY- very heavy turnout in my small town which is now about split between Dems and Repubs. Short lines to get into the building, lots of voters, everything moving smoothly. I asked one of the older poll workers I know how the turnout is and she said fantastic, one of the biggest she’s ever seen, especially in a non-Presidential election.
Agree that there are no Hochul signs to be seen around here. Maloney is the only one who has signs in this area but they are few and far between.
From what I hear around town, everyone is worried about cheating.
Just moved to a suburb of Toledo and voted at my new precinct and was about 250, took about 45 minutes. my wife had to vote at our old location and had to wait for 1.5 hours. Just took a call from the local GOP chair and he said he is getting reports that the suburb numbers are greater than the 2020 election at this point.
Western Pennsylvania, Westmoreland County (Trump country), Whitney precinct. Heavy voter turnout. Voters were lined up outside the door from 7-8 AM. Even Democrats were voting Republican.
Just received the information below from a group in Minnesota trying to track any fraud that goes on during this election.
1 ) Based on early reports from Republican EJs around the state, it looks like the Dems Election Day strategy is for their head election judges in major metro areas to intimidate Republican election judges from doing anything in the way of oversight, especially regarding the basic statutes. They’re being threatened with calling the election officials and filing criminal charges for disruption of a voting precinct, as well as throwing them out of the precinct. These head judges are being very bold in their statements and their attitudes toward are our judges – I’m willing to bet it’s coming via training originating from Simon’s office to the counties and then to the cities.
2) In southern Minnesota a couple judges were threatened. An attorney stepped in on his own to support them.
3) The single GOP EJ in a Minneapolis Ward reported that two female DOJ officers, in plain clothes, showed up, were announced by the head EJ, only spoke with the head EJ and stood around for an hour!? It’s the understanding of our EJ that these DOJ officers are “are making the rounds.” That’s illegal! To paraphrase the statute: ‘A head EJ may invite law enforcement in for a specific disturbance, once the problem is solved, they must leave the building immediately and cannot ‘hang out.’’ Most election judges there are wearing masks and using pronouns. This smells very bad…
It looks like the MNGOP has been completely caught with their pants down. Their almost complete lack of planning and response is unbelievable, especially after what we witnessed in 2020!? Intimidating our election judges is working. It looks like the GOP legal team has or will be assuming their typical stance: get in the fetal position, be nice and hope the bad stuff goes away!?
I’m active in MN GOP and the Chair, David Hann, is a total, bona fide, certified NeverTrump GOPe globalist…so no surprise where his pants are right now.
Didn’t know that.
Makes perfect sense.
Time to make sure that in 2024 “we the people” have our own election integrity team in place, one that does not include the team currently in fetal positions.
Treepers in every state need to start doing MeetUps with others here out on the limb. Dutchman frequently lays out the strategy to take back a state GOP but it’s a long, hard, march and requires commitment to Duty-Honor-Country.
Crazy thing is I’ve been involved with politics most of my 66 years — starting seriously in high school being a hippie for Nixon.
I could not wait to get rid of Jennifer Carnahan. A piece of crap GOP Chair. Was happy when she was ousted and thought the new leadership would do their jobs.
Now I am truly sickened hearing they are doing the exact same thing Jennifer and crew did in 2020 — absolutely nothing except playing possum.
Steady line at my polling place. First time I’ve had to wait. There are 3 polling places within 1 1/2 miles of me and cars are steadily pulling in and out at all 3. Wifi is active at my polling site( the church office wifi). Eastern Duval County fl
IMPORTANT INFO – THANK YOU.
I WILL BE Checking the Fire House for WiFi when I Arrive here in LaPorte, Indiana.
Here in Henderson NV, there are long lines to vote!! Been waiting an hour!
Woot! Go Virginia!!
Go Florida!!

It’s pretty apparent from precinct-level data in VA and county-level data in FL that Democrats have a turnout problem today – one that’s unlikely to be solved in the next six hours.
Noon turnout reports in VA Beach – a majority of Rep. Elaine Luria’s (D) Toss Up #VA02 – show most heavily GOP precincts up to 55-60% of ’21 votes cast, vs. 40-45% in most non-white precincts.
Total ballots cast skewing much more R than ’20 in many FL counties, esp. Miami-Dade.
In recent years, R voters have generally enjoyed their largest turnout advantage in the first 2-3 hours of EDay voting. So, it’s possible these gaps will narrow – and these are just two states.
But, these are just large differentials for Dems to overcome in the next few hours.
“It’s pretty apparent from precinct-level data in VA and county-level data in FL that Democrats have a turnout problem today – one that’s unlikely to be solved in the next six hours.”
Don’t worry. It’ll be solved in the six hours after the polls close.
They will still be counting next week no doubt.
Working as a poll judge in the rural area just outside Ft. Wayne, IN. Turnout has been steady and running closer to a presidential turnout than an off year.
Voted today at my polling station in central Alabama. Huge turnout! I was number387 on my machine after putting in my paper ballot at 10:00 AM and there were 5 machines. People were steadily pouring in. The poll workers said they had never seen it like this – so steady with no gaps in voters. I am hopeful for our nation!!
Roanoke va no line but brisk, by 11am almost 400 people in the precinct had cast their votes….we had to produce ID and we brought our own black ballpoint pens….unisyn machines
San Fernando Valley, So Cal. Voter turnout low at my local polling place when I was there around 9:45am. Today is a rainy day and that might be part of it.
I will be watching one of the 2 drop boxes tonight- rain or shine. We have a rather large group doing shifts at the 2 drop boxes.
thank you
You’re a patriot, Tiffthis!
Just got home from voting in my small WNY town. No lines. We never have lines but a steady flow of voters. I brought my own pen and voted straight Republican and NO to the green energy prop on the back. Also my son voted for the first time! The screens on the machine were on this time. They were black in 2020 when I early voted at the county seat. And it said it was cast successfully. I was #291 on my voting machine.
Thumb of Mi
Steady stream of early afternoon voting. Voters appear friendly and determined. Weather is beautiful here.
Overheard
One voter spoiled thier ballot and got back in line. The pole worker said “oh my your back” responds “I need to vote a second time” I kid you not the worker responded. “Voting twice, you must be a Democrat ” everyone chuckled and moved on.
Life is good here and I love my peeps
I was born and raised in Sandusky 😊 honest and hard working people in your neck of the woods.
Voted this morning in rural southwestern Michigan. Largest crowd we have seen in thirty years of voting. Our little township hall was packed. The lady who assisted us as we inserted our ballets into a new Dominion machine stated that she had never seen so many people voting in the ten years she has worked at our hall. She also stated that she figured people were mad. I agreed!
HOMETOWN AREA !
KEEP the CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT RED with Rep. Walberg
and Get TUDOR, KARAMO, and DePerno in Office
I just voted in Berkeley County, SC, 20 miles outside Charleston. It took about 25 minutes. I voted in the primaries in 2020 and this year with no wait. For the 2020 general, I voted early so I can’t compare the two. The workers said the line was twice as long this morning and that it’s a good turnout for this location.
A major difference between Maryland, where I lived for 28 years, and here are the funding questions. In Maryland, it was all bonds and was just listed as $A for schools, $B for parks, $C for seniors, $D for roads and so on. Here, it’s agreeing to a 1% tax for a period of no more than 7 years to fund these particular road and recreation improvements and projects and lists them in the order in which they are to be funded. This is an existing tax up for renewal. There’s also another 1% tax for schools, again listing the projects in order. I believe this is a new tax but I’m not sure. It will be interesting to see if they will be approved. I did vote yes for both and knowing where the money will be used helped a lot in making that decision. I used to vote no on every bins issue in Maryland but they were always passed.
Drove by several precincts in central Florida today and all had healthy lines of voters waiting. Lots of energy here. Makes you wonder when the mayor of Orange County, Val Demming’s husband proposes a one percent sales tax increase in these inflationary times. Val will lose to Marco Rubio.
I totally voted NO on that and straight ticket red.
Straight R here, too. It makes voting a lot quicker to vote that little button.
Same here.
Does it say exactly WHAT they will be funding with that money? See my comment directly above yours to explain how my SC country words it.
I live in a 50/50 R to D city in CA. In CA you can vote at any voting center so this year I voted in the community where my kids attended school even though my ballot was from the neighboring precinct. I can say that this was the most pleasant voting experience I’ve had since moving to CA 40 years ago. The poll workers were all very helpful and so friendly. I’m not a fan of all digital voting but it’s what they had so I voted. Whether my vote counts or not is yet to be seen. In 2030 we dropped off our ballots and my husbands was returned for signature verification. Ergo, voting in person from now on.
I voted at El Camino High in SoCal today. The poll workers were plentiful and kind. It gave me good vibes 👍🏼
Dekalb County. Lots of Gaptooth Hamplanet for Chief Grifter and Satanic Priest Warlock for Biden Fluffer signs piled up like fraudulent votes at intersections. However in the church parking lot for the voting there wasn’t a single vehicle parked. Now. I am a white, long haired rock and roll cowboy type with a Ron Paul 2012 sticker still embellishing my 4Runner’s bumper and probably the only white household in a black middle class neighborhood. All my neighbors wave to me and smile, coochie coo each others pets etc., and there is not one Warnock or Abrams sign in this enclave of around 200 houses. The Nation of Islam who canvas the cars up the road don’t get much action from the black folks either and boy oh boy they will not look me in the eye because I do wanna talk to them about who they think their enemy really is. Because it ain’t me…and they effing know it.
Apt ‘moniker’ in one way. Thanks for your attitude.
😀 😀 😀 …. I needed that!

North scottsdale AZ. 11:40sm. Longest line I have had since 12 years. About 32-35 people outside.
Let’s see what happens when inside.
Community of 1300 people, the voting place is a church. There around 700 people here that have voted already. TV is on and we are all getting ‘angry’ watching what is going on across in this country right now. Out here people are talking war, this cannot continue like this.
Like I said, will there be an election in 2024?
Wow, the turnout at my voting precinct was huge. It is a small voting place off Lee Road in Jacksonville, Florida.
I have voted there many times for primaries, general elections, and midterm elections. Beautiful, nice, quiet precinct (a small church), almost rural area. I had never, ever seen so many people there to vote. At least twice as much as for a general election. I could tell most were real republicans (conservatives). Wow!!!!
The place has always been run very well (fast, no fake results. Run by Christians, not Satanists), no long waiting times. And very important- This time there were way more poll watchers than usual. I could tell they were conservative republicans.
It was an awesome number of people driving out after voting, matched by an awesome number of people driving in to vote. It was beautiful.
I know the globalist/communist/deep state satanists will try to steal this election. But if what I saw at my precinct happens on a national level, their attempt to steal this election will fail and blow up in their face!
Bucks County, PA
For the first time we do not have paper poll books that show our name and that we physically sign today at the polling station. I had to sign my name on an iPad. A poll worker also wrote my name on a list of other names of people who voted on a piece of paper. When I told her that that was not my signature sheet agitatedly pointed to the iPad and said ‘that’s your signature.’ I said ‘I don’t want a machine to capture my signature because a machine can change things.’ No response.
I asked the republican poll workers about the new system of signing an iPad and they said that they were appalled too. they also said that the Bucks County election commissioners had decided to make this change and that we should call them. No one is in the office due to the election holiday. You can’t make this stuff up. it should be noted that no change in pa election law has happened in Pennsylvania over the last two years because Tom Wolf vetoed every suggested change so why this change to the poll book system in Bucks County? You know the answer
I can understand your upset! I also do not want to sign my name on some random iPad. What’s wrong with these dumb people running the elections? It’s so incredibly frustrating. We all know it doesn’t need to be this difficult or this sketchy.
I signed an ipad here in FL. It immediately spit out a receipt with a facsimile of my signature, printed name, and what number I was. I viewed the signature and it was correct as was my name. The sheet was placed in a box with other voters’ receipts.
Just got back from voting, then running around for a bit. Way more people at Costco, Aldi’s than voting center. Voted about 11am edt. Very lite turnout in this area of VA-10. This is a very blue area of VA-10.
Lake County Illinois. Nothing unusual, except that they gave me a cover for my ballot this election which they did not give me in the 2020 election for the first time.
Vote early last week; no cover for my ballot.
Virginia Prince William County – went mid morning, beat the early morning rush. Poll workers said it’s been a steady stream of voters, early morning had a line. 10th district battle ground for red wave. Go Hung Cao!
Northern IL
My precinct had a 10 minute wait which is unusual for 0930, that is the time when those who vote on their way to work are done and the next wave has yet to start.
People were very quiet while waiting…no chit chat with the person ahead of or behind you.
Better chit chat on the way out…mostly about no more political junk mail and the long wait til tonight.
What was interesting….Only 3 parties…R’s, D’s and Libertarian. No ‘green party’ listed, last I understood, is the green party is actually the communist party but don’t quote me on that one, they present as an alternative to D’s..
ARIZONA-
Tabulation machines are not recording properly!
Voting report from CT. Went to vote right when the polls opened here
at 6:00am (first time ever voting right when polls open, usually go mid morning)
line was out the door a good 50 or so people waiting ..we have Voter ID here
in CT and no one fusses about it..I don;t know if that is normal for that
time of day…but I was surprised to see so many in line at that time.
A Christian minister’s warning to Democrats not to cheat in this midterm election. Worth the few minutes to read. Decide to be resolute. We were caught unsuspecting 2 years ago. We complained for 2 years. Murillo lays out a warning with reason to Democrats.

Central New York here. I voted at 10ish and hauled out my Driver’s License. The poll worker told me that was unnecessary as I would verify my info and she would compare my signature. I told her we still should show ID and have paper ballots, with no computer interference.
I was #215 on one machine of the 2. Unusual turnout for a midterm in our small town. So glad to see the flow of people in and out. Almost had to wait for a seat to fill out the ballot as the room was full at the time.
The Demoncrat headquarters is right in the middle of town in the same strip as the bank and Post Office. Very annoying. Yet I never saw anyone going in or out…seemed dead. Usually the corner has only Dem signs on it. Not this time. One small one for Hochul but MANY for Zeldin and all of the other Rep candidates.
Hopeful
Brentwood,Tn. At 9:30 am 45 minute wait. Amendment 1 was not on separate page and I missed it. Had to get assistance. Warned others so that they did not miss it. One friend had her vote changed for Gov. She also could not register her vote for one of the amendments. She made sure everything was correct before she left. When I came out the line was at the back of the parking lot. Much larger crowd than usual.
Retired Magistrate here: Voted today at 10:30 A.M. here in Delaware County, Ohio. Voting place was crowded but we didn’t have to wait. There were instructions posted that a valid I.D. is required and the penalties listed for attempting to vote twice.
We voted straight Republican ticket. My husband and I both took in a Republican slate flyer with us and kept them with us as we were leaving. The gentleman thanking us for voting saw the flyer and told my husband, “you are a great American and thank you for voting.” He then thanked for voting and I broke down crying. Told him my brother, a Viet Nam Vet, is dying of ALS which he got from being exposed to Agent Orange in Nam. So after the sacrifice he has made of course I vote; never miss.
Nothing like being a “basket case” at the polling place!
🙏
Marcia, Thank you for voting and caring the flyer with you! Yes, we are all wearing out emotions on our sleeves. We’ve all been put through the wringer over the last 2 years as if life, in general, didn’t bring us enough daily/yearly hardships. May god comfort you as you bring comfort to your brother. I’m of the VM generation. Our politicians’ policies and treatment of our vets during that time were and forever will be a national disgrace.
Steady voting at my rural location in NW Central Florida around 11AM. At least this time the ferret-like machine monitor didn’t take my ballot and look at it before he fed it into the Machine From Hell, I actually slid my own ballot into the reception slot. This Black Box looked different than the contraption I used in the Primary. I was mildly hopeful when I got home, until I saw the Effin BS going on in other parts of this once great Country. I tried to go fishing to clear my head, but it was too windy. I am going to hang out with the cats and dogs.
Middle TN here…I have never seen so many people voting…yay! Usually I’m in and out in 5 minutes. I had to wait in line to sign in, then waited in line to vote. Was eavesdropping on poll worker telling voter, “When we opened up this morning, there was at least 25 people at the door and within the first hour we had to wrap the line around in (motioning to standing in line at Disney for a ride). Where I go to vote has NEVER been busy until now. I’ve lived here 20 years. 👏👏👏👏👏
PS: No WiFi internet connections came up! Again, yay!
Dona Ana Count NM
Brisk Activity at 2 locations we visited. Diverse crowds. Lots of parents with their kids.
No signs of shenanigans.
I’m in a very blue area of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia suburb of Lower Merion) and there was no line at my precinct or the other precincts that I could see (in a high school gym). At 10:30am this morning, I was around the 218th voter for my precinct. I’m not sure what the total vote count would be for my precinct or even how the vote count comes in (heavier later or earlier) but it seems a bit light in terms of turnout. We have Imagecast X machines and my vote worked fine like always. Who knows if it counts, right?
I am working in Scott county ky and by 1:00pm we are recording 25% turnout. We do have 2 constitutional amendments on the ballot, one pertaining to abortion, that are driving voters out.
