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?
With no accountability from the 2020 overt overnight steal, I’m shocked these things are happening today. Shocked I tell you.
Vote machine shutdown in North Mississippi. Slid ballot into a box to be counted later.
Please report this at: ElectionEyes.US
This seems to be happening all over the country. It happened at my polling place in the 2020 election. I wondered at the time if my vote was ever counted or whether it was “counted” only for the purpose of REPLACING it with a vote for Biden. Who would know? Only those committing fraud.
It seems, as usual, too coincidental to be coincidence. In other words, it looks like a plan and seems to be happening in Republican areas, even though the areas in general are under the control of Democrats.
Who, if anyone, will watch all these boxes of untabulated ballots to ensure that they’re not just swapped out before they reach wherever they will finally be counted, if they ever are counted? Are the boxes of ballots accompanied from place to place by a Democrat and a Republican, to ensure chain of custody? Doubt it.
Northeast Ohio largest county in area, smallest in population. Turnout steady to heavy.
Constant lines of 30 to 40 people all day – even before polls were open this morning – at our polling place in south Sarasota. And that’s for a long, 3-page ballot (fill in the bubbles, please) with lots of judge retention races and several referenda. Poll watchers hadn’t seen this for a long time. They even added tables for filling out ballots. Anyone who votes Christ down here is crazy.
That ballot was nuts. So many judges!
‘SHALL NOT BE RETAINED’ for every one of them.
That is a mistake. Here in FL they were all appointed by republican governors, including one by De Santis, except one judge. Pay attention!
In Chicago, it’s often the best choice. Only 2 exceptions this year: Ortiz and Lyke
I voted to retain every one of the judges for that very reason. I learned that Florida has a large number of Supreme Court justices. WOW!
Same here. I live in a state where the leftist bar association controls who can be a judge. So I voted not to retain any of them.
That’s why I was glad I voted by mail. It took a long time to fill out the ballot because I had to look up who to vote for or not. I was glad to be able to do it at my desk.
I always look up my sample ballot online before Election Day so I can research the candidates, especially for primaries. Then I know exactly who to vote for on Election Day. I would never mail in a ballot because it’s way too easy to cheat! Vote in person on Election Day!
Isn’t that Crist?
Oops, you’re correct. No matter. He’s almost gone.
Voted in person. 16 minutes from leaving my house to return. Love it here in Florida. The voting process was very efficient and friendly. Voted at 10:15 am – no line.
Went to vote this morning – Pinellas county Fl. Longest line in 30 years. A lot of people I talked to said that they don’t trust mail in voting! was in line for over an hour and this is a small precinct.
Dick Morris, now working for Pres. Trump, said that we need to start changing our strategy on this especially for states that keep track of early vote totals and ballots.
That we should be voting by secure drop box to get Republican votes high enough to offset any Voting Day mishaps like weather, or kid problems, or voting machine problems.
I think he’s right.
Drop boxes are the first ones opened and presumably “counted”. I think that would be worse….
Dick Morris is never right about anything! I don’t trust him. Vote in person on Election Day! Never mail in a ballot or use a drop box! Way too much cheating!
Strongly agree, Margie.
I talked to the man who was standing in line behind me. He was there to vote in person and said no mail in ballot for him either.
Latest instructions for making sure your vote counts in AZ
I think the problem is with the printers. Ballots unable to be read now will also be unable to be read later.
Demand a new ballot.
Democrats and evil love chaos.
But I repeat myself.
Actually many Democrats are just beguiled, like many Republicans who vote for abortion rights.
It is beyond my comprehension that a woman on the ballot for governor in AZ was allowed to have control over the elections…fox in charge of the chicken coop.
No surprise there are massive (of course) corrupt issues in the usual places. Hoping Lake’s legal team are already to go with their lawsuits.
I’m going to go ahead and guess that every time a voting machine “glitches” in any way, shape, or form, it means the republican candidates have taken a lead that the algorithms suggest is heading to an insurmountable lead, and so the “doctors” (as in, doctoring the votes) are called in immediately so the numbers never get so far out of hand.
About a 2 minute wait at my precinct.
Straight RED.
NO on school levy!
Sick of these schools begging for more money every year.
In Illinois they have a referendum for money to address mental health
however, if one reads it thoroughly, the monies go to outside organizations
that supposedly will address mental health issues. Ha Ha! I was not fooled.
With O-Zero care why do we even need to fund mental health organizations? Nothing but a (D) slush fund. Good for you!
Lexington, Kentucky – Senator Rand Paul and Congressman Andy Barr on ballot. All other positions listed Republican candidates who were unopposed. Voter turnout heavy from 6:00 am to 8:30 am when wife and I finished voting.
Hopefully, McConnell does not run for another term. Whether not to vote or vote against would be the only choices.
It was busier than usual this afternoon at our local polling place in MN (Twin Cities). There were a number of new registrations and we were waiting over thirty minutes to check in. Also, my son for some reason wasn’t listed as registered, so we needed to register him to vote again (he’s voted previously, so he should’ve been in the system). At any rate, we voted around 12:00 PM CST and the tabulator showed a vote count for the day of 259, which is above what I’d normally expect to see. Turnaround seemed to be pretty brisk today. We’ll see what that portends for the ultimate result.
St. Lucie County Florida – No problem voting today except for the line. We voted at around 10AM and it was the biggest turnout I’ve seen in this area in 30-years. The people at my precinct just kept coming.
In Cochise County, SE AZ, the polling place was busier than usual but it only took about a half hour from leaving my vehicle to driving away. Ten people in line, 4 voting booths. Poll worker apologized for wait, said three poll workers didn’t show up. Huh?
Cell phones not allowed inside. Driver’s license asked for and scanned. Sign on electronic device, given paper ballot. Ballot inserted in machine, select your choices, print the ballot, put it in the tabulator, wait for “accepted” to show up on screen.
The number of voters was slightly more than the number for the Presidential election 2020, at the same time of day and the same weather, clear and sunny.
That would be a good ruse by the left.
Train as a poll worker, then not show up.
Three cannot just be a coincidence.
That could be the case. Or three Dem poll workers too depressed to work? LOL
If you’re in Wilcox, AZ, stop by the Dinning Car BBQ for lunch and then go the Cattle Rest for a few cocktails in celebration of the red wave today. 😂
Been there. Great place.
Rule #39: “There are no such things as coincidences.” Jethro Gibbs. 🙂
Early morning was more than a normal midterm but not huge. But, maybe people are waiting until later to vote. There was a poll watcher. Oakland County, Michigan. Everyone I see and meet today is voting and it is for Republicans. Three proposals are so important in MI as well. Vote NO on all three.
St. Louis, MO: Large, occupied, police SUV parked in front of the polling station. Later, parked across the street, unoccupied. This happened in one of the most conservative areas. Never have seen cops at a polling station before.
Secretary of State of MO refused DOJ “observers” admission to polling stations. His authority; his call, just like with DeSantis in FL. Supposedly, the DOJ received a complaint that Cole Co, MO, didn’t have accommodations for disabled voters; but they wouldn’t share the complaint or tell the MO officials what exactly was the problem, so that it could be fixed before the election.
News reports said that the DOJ’s only choices were to investigate and confirm that there are accommodations for the disabled, or SUE the state. Most likely, they want to sue.

I’ve lived in a fairly balanced (R & D) small town in Iowa for 18 years. I’ve never seen a longer line at the polls than I did today.
I feel a little disappointed. I have nothing to fight over. I’m in S. Carolina and the voting was not busy during the time I went (not in the morning and not “after work”) but pretty much all of the poll workers had the general attitude or demeanor of a Republican. Even the “I Voted” sticker uses the color scheme of a Trump campaign sign. THAT can’t be a coincidence. There was one poll worker who had a “I Voted” sticker that looked more like a Democrat color scheme… had to be from a different election cycle. And she was not happy looking either.
Brought my son with me and he’s not fully aware of much but he just said “I hope you don’t vote for any block heads!” He does seem to understand some aspects.. probably gleaned mostly from my own conversations. And he’s glad he didn’t get any injections!
A close friend went to her regular polling place late morning and was told by her poll worker friend that earlier, a couple had come into vote.
Later in the morning, the same couple came in, dressed in different clothes with different ID’s.
When the poll worker reported it to the other poll worker, she was told that not only did she not see it, but that she wouldn’t support her even if she did.
The poll worker said it happened last election as well – same people.
Last election – same people. Oh well…la la la…
Where?
Voting in the middle of nowhere mostly red part of Wisconsin. We are very very rural and the area would be almost all red except for a blue area surrounding the low income housing associated with the meat plant. There are some Hmong in the area. I saw an older American local gentleman helping an older Hmong woman to vote. Her English was limited and she seemed pretty intelligent and educated looking. The nice poll watchers told him he could go into the booth to ‘help’ her, which he did . He stood back a distance while she voted, but I was a little concerned when I saw him discreetly snap a picture of her ballot and look pleased with the result.
Hmm …
In the past there was a choice between paper or electronic. I always chose paper. Now they just hand you a paper ballot which then gets fed into the machine and scanned on the spot, acknowledging that it was read. No pretense of folding the ballot and hiding it from the worker, so they can tell exactly who I voted for.
Some of us small family farmers have been in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) for years. It’s a 20 year contract with the USDA. This year instead of a check I got a letter saying no payment because there was no money. I wonder if this is related …
The best thing the Republicans – almost – ever did was to separate the Food Stamps portion of the USDA budget from the Farmers portion in the last Farm Bill. Then everyone would have seen that the “Farm Bill” was actually 80% urban food stamps. Current USDA programs involve lots of consulting and education and outreach to generate interest in urban farming, etc. — maybe that’s why there is not money left over for farmers any more. I have yet to see an urban farm. Most of us would be thrilled to see the whole farm subsidies go away – then the actually inefficient massive agri business would have to compete fair and square with the small family farmers.
Things went great in SWFL this morning. Long line that moved quickly. A lot of happy warriors voting today so I assume they were Rs as the Ds are generally a miserable bunch. Line was longer when I was leaving than it was when I got there. God bless America.
Temple , Texas (central Texas near Waco), voting tabulator machines down. No one has been able to vote. I’m not there but it caught my eye.
It seems voting machines are down across the country (of course).
Mike Lindell says his group is tracking every vote by cyber.
God bless this man. He knows what to look for and is on it.
Ok I have tears of joy.
My sister who has refused to vote for the last 35 years just told me she finally voted today. And it wasn’t because she is happy with our demonrat governor!!
Fabulous! Very happy with you!
Thank Gov. JB Pritzker lol. He convinced her in 4 short years what I couldn’t for the previous 32 of her adult life 👍
The working theory for the issues in AZ is that “they” will not give Lake and Co. an election night victory. Lake and Masters will win but it will take days. This is what our elections have come to, absolutely nothing to be proud of it’s all games.
I live 30 miles west of Houston near I-10. Got to my voting location at 11:00 am and it took me 1 1/2 hours from standing inline to voting!!! There were a dozen voting machines but only about 1/3 were in use at one time. They had only 2 clerks taking voter IDs and giving out ballots. And if there was a questionable voter or vote problem then there was only one clerk. There was someone from Texas State Information Technology working on setting up another voter ID kiosk for a 3rd clerk to use. Too late to help me. Don’t think I will do that again. Just too much standing for me.
No problems here in Lee Township. Paper ballots, ball point pens- no fraud here! Voted NO on all three proposals.
Maricopa Elections cheerfully talks about tabulator problems and tells you not to worry. Well, ok then (sarcasm intended)…

Both these asshats need to be telling their story before a jury.
From rural central Oklahoma. Strong turnout parking lot full at poll. That’s a good sign in this RED State.
Same here in Edmond.
Sadly – Tulsa, OKC, and Norman voters are turning their respective counties more and more blue.
Glad to have rural Oklahomans saving our necks here in the metros.
Spring Hill fl area, poll place was full and moving very well folks were in and out in 10 min tops. Folks excited to vote hoping to rid ourselves of Dems several stated.
Free, honest elections are history.
MA Metrowest small liberal town
Lines at 10:00AM this morning
Unusual
Typically can walk right in during the day, check in and vote. Today I had to wait for 20 people. And there was some confusoin about early voting with several of the other people.
One NJ and one NH car in parking lot. Curious about how you have a car registered out of state and can vote in MA?
Harris County Texas – Gotta bad blue hue – has for a loooong time. Hopefully we will shove a corrupt county judge to the curb.
Went to vote this morning got in line @ 10:48 94 votes/decisions listed. No straight line voting allowed. I think there were 91 offices involved and 3 propositions. First machine I went to was broke. Second machine I went to was broke. 3rd time is a charm. Read instructions, inserted blank paper ballot, page 1, and commenced to vote. @ 11:06 I was walking out. 18 minutes total. That included feeding my paper ballot into the tabulator.
Was very surprised, based on the time I went, that a line was almost non-existent.

So go out and vote – and wait in line. Do not get discouraged with their tactics.

I’m in Jacksonville and was at the voting facility at 11:30 this morning. The parking lot was full and I had to wait on an available station to vote. I am registered to vote by mail but have not done so in the last couple of elections. I noticed it took a long time for them to work through the computer and confirm I was allowed to vote. I found it odd that when they took my unused, mail in, sealed ballot, it was ripped in half and then placed in a leather attaché case… I wondered where are they were going taking my unused vote by mail ballot. They let me keep it last time.
Pretty sure a ripped ballot is invalid.
I’ve read that if you come to the Polls w/ an already ripped ballot, you are denied to vote.
North Scottsdale AZ: somewhat chaotic in there. As Cave Creek’s polling station had problems people from there came to vote here.
The person in front of me told people who wanted to drop off to maybe ask for a new ballot and have it push through the machine.
He dropped his filled out ballot off last election and it and another 20 people’s was not counted.
I put my hand filled ballot through and saw a green check mark.
Katie Hobbs is in charge and I don’t trust her one bit.
Alea iacta est.
I’m in a poor county that is predominantly D in South Jersey. I voted this morning around 9:15 apparently after the voting booths came back online from being down. It took at least a half hour to get my ballot completed and my results accepted by a Dominion machine. People are seriously pissed off and are really showing up to the polls. In the last election the R’s captured two seats on the Freeholder board, sorry, Commissioners now (sins of the past y’ know). I drove past my polling station at least twice while out of the house running around. The parking lot has been full each time. Mercer County NJ had machines shut down. Friends that never talk politics are voting. They are grumbling. I hope we can overcome the cheating with enough votes.
Here in the high desert region, San Bernardino, Ca. we woke to a first of the season heavy rainstorm with extreme wind gusts. I wondered if it would dampen the voters resolve to get out and vote. I have been voting in this area for 45 years, turnout is always heavy, and the electorate is mostly maga conservative. I arrived at the polling place at 9 a.m. Dirt parking lot was nothing but mud. 50 or so cars in the lot. The polling place was small, but packed. Most people opting for paper ballots, but some dropping off the mail ins. The crowd at this time of day was overwhelmingly older, but i imagine many will be voting after work. There were at least three observers and about 8-10 poll workers in the room.7 voting areas, 1 for handicapped. everyone was excited to be casting their votes, and i would suspect the ones in the room with me were mostly conservatives. we are one of the conservative pocets in Calif. but the demographic is changing as prices for housing and rent climb in the cities.
Midterm Elections: All voting machines are down in Mercer County, NJ

Action News on 6abc
@6abc
Mercer County, NJ officials: “The Board of Elections has advised the county of issues with voting machines. Poll workers will be on hand to walk voters through the process. The board is working with Dominion, the machine maker, to resolve the issue.”
I have to wonder if there is a lot of “cold feet” going on here.
IF they wanted to manipulate the results, they would announce problems at the end of the day. Here the problems are at the beginning of the day. If I were going to “call off the cheat” I would do precisely this because we know that first they cheat with a vote-changing algorithm, then they back-fill with enough fake ballots to make up the difference. That’s the general scam.
But what we are seeing in Maricopa county though is “the tabulators aren’t working! We have to count my hand with both Democrats and Republicans counting.”
Sounds like they couldn’t deprogram the cheat algorithm fast enough so they just claimed they weren’t working.
A LOT Of FOLKS with ” WHITE HATS ” Watching across This Nation !
THE QUESTION IS – WHAT DO WE, U.S. , DO WITH the Information of
CHEATING / ” Incompetence “
WI – Waukesha area. My wife and I just voted about 12pm. ED turnout is a little high for non-presidential elections, which I think is a good sign. We are a more conservative area.
Some of my friends, that claim to be conservative, didn’t like Trump. They voted for Biden, but all six were voting all Republican again.
The propaganda is real and powerful. Its amazing how quickly and easily people can get pulled into propaganda and the anti-Trump propaganda was strong. The real world disaster that team Biden/Obama created has snap alot of people out of their bubble. I’m 100% voting for Trump, but I think his biggest challenge will be overcoming the massively coordinated propaganda against him. It sucks up a lot of people who only marginally pay attention.
It’s unbelievable that we’re still using Dominion voting machines. If we had some decent GOP leadership, they could have fixed this by now and we would be using paper ballots only.
I am in a NH college town and went to vote at noon, along with many, many out of state leftist students from the local university. Voting was well attended, though lines were not deep when they checked ID. Unfortunately, a student ID was all that is needed to verify “residence”. I imagine that if students thought they would make more of a difference in their home state they would vote there or not bother voting at all, but here they seem to enjoy screwing those who live here.
Dan Bongino has a good idea for those who don’t know how to vote on every issue. (Actually, I vote no on everything, but I am in California).
Go the the Republican Voter Guide for your local county and they give you their recommendation on every person and issue. Many people don’t vote the whole ballot but it can make a difference.
The Most Secure Election in American History is back in business😡
In the NE Fulton County, GA polling place where I voted, there were no privacy booths, so that anyone in the polling place could see how voters were voting on the Dominion voting machines. No voting booths, no privacy curtains, no sides to the machine screens.
On the plus side, while I was waiting, I could see that most votes were for Republicans. On the negative side, so could all the young poll workers…… who did not look like they swung conservative, if you know what I mean.

Reports are coming in from Arizona that the Voting Machines are not properly working in predominantly Republican/Conservative areas. Can this possibly be true when a vast majority of Republicans waited for today to Vote? Here we go again? The people will not stand for it!!!

Oakland County MI here. Square blue area. Precinct was not crowded. Me and family got in and out. I was voter 411. Me and fam voted straight red ticket and ‘No’ on all the God-awful proposals here in MI.
In Montana I haven’t seen any results yet, but it’s still early. The polls are crowded here, with no exit interviews. This is a city of around 2500, not representative of the larger population centers. Registered voters at the primary were 743,710; typically around 20,000 more by election time. During the primary, 39.4% voted. Based on the last 5 midterms the predicted turnout today would be expected to be @62% though the emphasized importance of this midterm could cause the turnout to be noticeably higher. Hope so. 12:40 p.m. MST
