Today is officially Super Tuesday in primary voting. Consider this an open discussion thread specific to what is taking place at the precincts where you are voting.
Specifically, it is interesting to note the intensity -or lack thereof- of the voting base in your neighborhood, town, city or hamlet. What is happening and do you feel a sense of involvement permeating or is general complacency the status quo? In every election cycle your ground reports are the most accurate gauge of the sense of the voting base. This one is important.
For the Republican primary, 874 of 2,429 total delegates will be awarded today. The winning candidate, almost certain to be Donald Trump, ultimately needs 1,215 delegates to capture the nomination.
President Trump has already won 244 delegates from the early voting contests (Via AP), so MAGA -represented by Trump- needs roughly 1,000 more to capture the nomination and dispatch this nonsense with Nikki Haley.
For the Democrats, 1,421 delegates are up for grabs representing roughly a third of all ordinary delegates. The Super Delegates, who control the outcome, are decided later at the convention….. which I predict will be the real test of what the Democrats have in mind. Remember, Biden needs 1,969 delegates to officially win the nomination, and/or then pass the baton to the ultimate candidate (strongly plausible).
After MAGA exposed the RNC “splitter scheme” in California, the CA Republican Party then changed their rules allowing the candidate who captures over 50% of the vote to be the one who will receive all of the state’s 169 Republican delegates. With the Republican primary as a two-person race between Trump and Haley, Trump is likely to win all of California’s delegates – which is good, because we need to grind Haley into the pulp of irrelevance. Let her campaign as a Democrat on behalf of the Deep State – ::spit::.
With a for sale sign on her back, Haley has been obtuse about her plans after today. Many traditional pollsters expect her to quit if she is crushed. She has won only Washington DC, which is a story of sunlight by itself, so Haley will have a hard time trying to make an argument for continuing. But she’s a teeth talker, so who knows what that clenched and insufferable creature will do. Again – ::spit::.
So, what is happening in your area? If you live in any of the aforementioned states, let us know. Trust me, there are people around the world watching, not just in the USA.
WOLVERINES !!
Voted this morning in our lovely Alabama college town.
We have a new polling place because our area has been experiencing lots of growth. It was busy. Ran into neighbors coming and going and friends working at the polls.
This is a deep red state. We cling to our bibles and our guns. I am fortunate in where I live.
Alabama holds open primaries and requires picture ID’S. No early voting. No mail in ballots.
An election you can trust!
Picture IDs, no early voting and no mail in ballots: such American concepts!
Jacksonville or Huntsville?
The loveliest village. Very fond of Huntsville too though.
Auburn?
Sorry, on St. Pete beach so’s I can’t report on MN…
Austin, Tx here. Surprisingly, it was busy when we went today around 1. Since most everyone in my area are crazy leftists, I think my husband and I were in the minority. A little west of us is Hill Country, and that is MAGA country. I still have hope for Texas.
Same here. I live off Mesa Drive. Went to the polls about 2pm. There was a big line.
I have a friend that moved there, six years ago her little boy in kindergarten wanted to go to Arlington to put a flag on every single grave. Today after attending public school he says “I hate Trump.” Soon he’ll start hating everything American/Texan.
The indoctrination starts very early.
That’s so sad, Xavier. I hate to hear stories like that, but unfortunately the public school systems here in Texas are woefully lacking for our kids
His classmates parroting Taylor no-so-Swift..
Lots of pressure to fit in.
Parents need to counter the
narrative.
well, they don’t learn to read and write….so why keep them in public school??? homeschool or at keast something else…. YOU, the parent, are the primary educators of the dear children the Good Lord has given you
Yep, GTF out of the public schools…in ANY western nation.
Those that do will become incredibly resilient and resourceful.
Cheers!
Your last sentence said it all! Teach your children to read cursive!
Parents need to PARENT? Who knew? I thought kids were an afterthought, farmed out to society to receive a proper indoctrination.
My daughter voted up in Bee Cave in the late morning.
That’s where I live
Voted this morning here in Middle TN. No drama, Trump will crush Haley. 58 delagates. 31 go to statewide winner, and 3 more per Congress District go to district winner. 9 CDs in TN, 8 of which have GOP Members. The Memphis CD might go to Haley I suppose if enough Dems crossover.
Here in TN primaries for Senate and House not until August.
Still waiting for the Tennessee Governor and AG to have the transgender Christian School Murder’s “Manifesto” released.
It’s almost a year. Is the FBI waiting for her/his reincarnation?
Crowder has been trying. They exposed another school covering up a potential mass shooting. It was interesting to listen….they had everything.
In the polling place where I voted today (Tarrant County, Texas – Fort Worth) you are asked on entry “Democrat or Republican”, then join a separate line based on your selection. The line for the dems was non-existent – walk right up and check in; there were two or three folks at that sign-in table. OTOH, the line for the Republicans was out of the check-in room, down a short hallway back to the main entrance – a 10-15 minute wait to get to the sign-in table.
Counting the voting machines: 6 for the dems, 12 for the Republicans. All Republican machines were in use while one or two on the D side were.
The dems that were there avoided eye-contact and didn’t really interact with the poll workers. The R side were chatty and generally engaging with poll workers and others in line.
I suspect that the counties outside of Harris, Travis, Dallas, and Bexar had similar or more stark contrast. Harris, Travis, Dallas, and Bexar counties (especially Travis) are truly swirling the drain.
Don’t fool yourself. The Democrats are voting to damage Trump. That is their ONLY play at the moment. And this is what should help people to absolutely understand the Democrat mind. They do not care that they are illegitimately participating in the election process. Morality is relative to the agenda to them.
Some Democrats are genuinely supporting Trump for this election but most are TDS carriers trying to spread their mind virus to anyone they can and to act of their impulses.
Dems, as far as voting goes are what is called “Amoral”
adjective
I’m in East Texas and I am NOT voting for anyone or anything again until the voting process is cleaned up nationwide. We have been living in a POST CONSTITUTIONAL era since the coup of 2020. VOTER INTEGRITY should be insisted upon by every voting citizen in the country. IMO it is foolish for one to believe they can vote their way out of tyranny.
You’re dumb. Your demands will never be met. SCOTUS ruling was correct in that the way elections should be run are up to the states. It’s what the constitution says and that’s what they should rule. The problems cannot be solved NATIONALLY but require resolution locally.
So…you just rollover and let the corrupt ones win then?
Pretty dumb.
Well aren’t you special.
The Dems thank you for your (lack of) effort.
That won’t solve anything.
It will show the swamp that you don’t care about exercising your Constitutional rights.
I am a fellow Texan and agree with everything you said except for the “I am not voting for anyone” comment. You must of moved here from a blue state. A born and raised native Texan will never fail to vote. It is foolish for anyone to not exercise their right to vote after cleaning and sighting in their guns.
I will concede that if your state is not fully blue there are grounds to call people to vote, but….
…When you have proof that voting machines have flipped votes, that courts have overturned legal elections and ballots have been harvested or bulked up with phony i.d., the cries of ‘shame’ from people have less impact when all that rouses them to actually get on their feet to ‘show up’ is a vote…not rape, death, theft and ruin by illegals, weaponized intelligence and not even foreign born activist judges.
For all you know Danny has put his butt on the line out there on the front lines for many days of the year WAITING for everyone to show up in a large enough group to turn things around.
Of the people, by the people, for the people is our government. Where are OUR hackers? Where are more O’Keefe’s, David Daleiden’s, loyal Trump out in the open 12 months out of the year?
Have you (we) done all that YOU (we) can do????
“Danny” … the Democrats best friend! President Trump has explicitly said to “Vote Republican”. “Danny” is much smarter than President Trump! Let’s do what “Danny” says!
Danny, don’t let them get to you. The folks demanding you vote are doing NOTHING to get rid of those who still control all of the areas of infrastructure.
I would bet that every single one of the commenters who stated that not voting is dumb – which it is – is involved in some practical way or other – whether at the local level (which is where the action is now), or by education of others, or by donations, or in a hundred other possible ways.
It’s simply not true that people are doing “NOTHING.” Especially not at CTH.
it is your duty as a citizen to vote
stupidest post of the day award … now flag me I don’t care
Cabarrus County, A few miles from Charlotte NC……
8800 people registered to vote in our district. I was number 716. So I asked the guy, maybe everyone early voted?? Nope only 300…..its only 5pm and the polls close at 7:30. It was picking up as we were leaving so I’m hoping the number gets better……
What the Democrats have in mind is to let Biden get the nomination and then they will remove him an APPOINT someone no one would have voted for.
Part of the reason for this is to free up Democrat voters to vote for the Republican side in order to damage Trump in any way they can.
The process of corruption is simple! There doesn’t have to be direct control over people to get them to do what the left wants. If you want them causing chaos in business to destabilize neighborhoods and cities and states? Just change the laws and announce “the following crimes are legalized and if you are arrested, you will not have to post bond to get out!” What do you THINK is going to happen?
Same thing with the mail-in ballots. Did they have to organize that? Or the harvesting? NO! Not in the slightest. They only had to announce it knowing that there are people known to do this who WILL do it. One caveat to that is the fact that the mail-in ballots were NOT enough as it was. That’s why they had to “stop counting” and order “a whole lot of Pizza” through the night before announcing a miracle Biden Victory. THAT is the steal which required coordination and control.
The media knew what was going down. As to why they called Arizona the way they did and when they did was a mystery to me then and remains so. They could have and should have simply pretended UNLESS they were alerted to Trump support of such overwhelming numbers that they had to call it immediately for Biden so they could get busy creating paper to support their claims.
I’m of the opinion it was a code word to set the steal in motion.
West Texas here (Abilene). Early voted last week downtown, had a pretty good and steady crowd while we were there (20ish+). This looks like a heavier turnout than we usually get for a primary, which I hope is a good sign. Didn’t recognize anyone, but all looked local to me. Good ol’ West TX rednecks like us. FYI, this county had the highest % vote for DJT in the nation in 2016, and close to that in 2020.
We voted against most of the incumbents, and have some pretty good challengers. If we can get to a runoff they might unseat some of the stale long-term grifters.
I live in the People’s Republic of California and am a poll observer. In the last two days I have been to five polling centers and I am the only person, besides the State poll workers, in the center. I have seen less than five people voting. I am assuming they all mailed their ballots in. Vastly different from the last election.
Here in San Mateo and Santa Clara county there ARE MAGA voters voting in person, but with Silicon valley techies and globalists right in our area gleefully chuckling as they make up new voters to cancel real voters, flip electronic votes and engage bought and paid for judiciary/legislative/academics,…there is not alot of optimism.
UNIFIED NUMBERS…like the truckers heading to Texas, the truckers refusing to ship to NYC, the parents driving out LGBT from libraries and schools.
Not trying again to have our rescue come from 3 corrupt branches of government.
doing the same thing expecting different results from the same bad actors in charge….lunacy. What has to change ? Our divided selves has to change.
Since Gov Maura Healy declared Massachusetts a sanctuary state, what are the odds she puts them to work today? After they vote they get treated to another meal from Spinelli’s Italian Restaurant. Maura gave Spinelli’s an exclusive contract to feed these knuckle draggers, $64 a day for the daily buffet with taxpayers money.
Patriots should be very angry.
I hadn’t known about that particular Maura OutRage…. Thx…
Amherst county Virginia – a rural area with 2x greater volume by noon than was predicted for the whole day! So I would say a good turnout.
Just got home from work, then went to vote.
My polling place was busy, everyone there was jovial and smiling.
This area of eastern TN is solid Trump country. Lots of MAGA has gotten in local precincts and there is a great slate of committed delegates on the ballot today as well.
I am certain we will win bigly in November. I just feel it in my soul.
pray for the snipers to be apprehended by eagle eyed security then
Austin, Texas. Turnout appears to be about the same for a primary as near as I can tell. But wife and I just got through counting paper ballots for the Republican party. It was only for mail-in ballots and it is just a test. But it seemed to work well and there were a LOT of people willing to help count ballots. But it’s still Austin and Texas is still stuck with open primaries so who knows how it will wind up…
Here’s a link for when Polls close.
https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/super-tuesday/
We went early, no line, very few voting that early. I have heard turnout is lower this year in the early voting mostly due to lack of Democrats voting. In Texas, elections are determined at the primary due to strong holds and gerrymandering. Such as it is. Interesting races will be US congress seat up in the Ft Worth area, strong DEM area and the challenger race for US Senate. Mr Cruz is not well liked here. Also Sheila Jackson Lee is facing a very strong opponent but Houston is another DEM strong hold.
Comment deleted.
Sorry. This comment was meant for the article about thune.
I’m in Missouri. This morning I got this email from the GOPe:
And then a few hours later they sent
Such organization. Much trust. Great job.
Holy cow.
MO GOP was seriously MIA this year. We heard not a peep about the new caucuses last weekend. One would think guides would go out in the mail or something. Maybe it was better in other parts of the state?
I heard nothing about it until it was over and thought “That’s weird.” My wife, when informed today that, sorry, there’s no voting today, had never even heard of the caucus thing happening. Total disconnect, and has to be purposeful.
Same email was rcvd by many Repubs in Alaska, too! Then it was followed up with 2 more emails that were equally unclear or purposely deceiving. One commenter said the polling location in her community was listed as the local library which has been closed due to a collapsed roof for over a year! Also said no one answered phones at AK GOP Office and v/mail box was full. Very strange. Voting hours 3pm-8pm. My district polling place was packed with people in line before doors opened at 3pm. Took me about 40 min. but line was longer when I left. People seemed in good spirits. But I just have a very ominous feeling in my gut.
Same thing happened in Florida.
Steady stream of voters for the red state rural area.
From Western NC, but more rural not Asheville: I just voted and I was really surprised by the line. Very busy. One of the poll workers said a lot of people voted earlier too. This voting site is Trump country. However there is a lot of development going on, so probably the composition of voters will change some but it sure looked like MAGA crowd.
Thanks to sdee on this site I knew who to vote for in some of the state offices. I trusted sdee as she has been in this site a long time.
Oh, I forgot….we had voter ID for the first time!
little, would you say that NC is a good choice to move to for someone from a Blue state who’s looking for a Red State to flee to?
Have a friend who’s interested in moving the family there. I’m trying to convince her to move to FL for selfish reasons. But she’s not crazy about the weather here ( and I can’t blame her for that!). She’s thinking of moving to NC.
NC seems kind of purplish to me. Am I wrong about about that?
The Greenville – Greer – Spartanburg, South Carolina area is only about 1 hour directly south of Asheville,North Carolina and the weather is much warmer but cooler by far than Florida. Western North Carolina has about a dozen ski resorts. There is at least one town in Western NC where Main Street is over a mile above sea level.
https://thedestinationmagazine.com/beech-mountain-eastern-americas-highest-town/
Maybe I’ll suggest SC to her and see how it goes.
It inches her closer to Fl, anyway!
ID, TX
Southern WVA … is the BEST place!!! Tell her about Mingo, Logan Counties in WVA. Solid RED, beautiful mountains and streams. Beautiful parks, nice places to shop. Rural
North Carolina is complex. Remember, NC was a Confederate state and the Confederates were Democrats. Therefore, you can have a lot of Democrats in a county but they are conservatives today. Some may still be registered as Democrats but in the general election vote conservative.
I keep thinking NC is going purple too, but NC went Trump in 2016 and in 2020. In 2020, their was a big move to steal the election from Trump. We had absentee ballots to receive and count for two weeks after the election and all the various tricks…governor is Dem. But they could not come up enough votes to cheat him out of it. I believe it is because NC does not have a big city like Atlanta. There is Raleigh/Chapel Hill/Durham (college votes), Wilmington, and a couple of other college towns, and Asheville. But apparently more people here still live in small towns and rural areas and these areas are all Trump country. It is very difficult to cheat in small towns and rural areas. People know each other.
Also, in 2020 conservatives finally got the majority in the State Supreme Court and a super majority in the State Legislature so we now have voter ID and veto power over the Governor and they have been using it.
I would suggest if anyone moves here to move into a smaller town perhaps outside a larger town if you like the shopping and entertainment options. I have a friend from California who is conservative and moved to a small town outside of Charlotte and is happy there.
In Western NC, which has the best weather, like all four seasons but all moderate..not too hot in summer, not too cold in winter, and a beautiful spring and fall is a good place but outside of Asheville. Actually, they should check out Transylvania County, largest town is Brevard, and it is conservative, but has a national forest, a state park, and very close to South Carolina/Greenville.
Also, closer to Asheville (for shopping etc) Madison County…conservative locals. But I am in Buncombe outside of Asheville, the town is Democrat but just go down the road into a more rural area, and I mean maybe 15 minutes from Asheville and where I voted…and Trump flags still flying. But we are outnumbered in votes overall, but many unaffiliated who voted Trump and also Bernie Sanders voters who voted Trump .
I would love more conservatives to move here. Tell them we need them and want them.
I worry Florida is going purple (lol).
Thx so much for this reply, little.
And if you guys get Robinson for Gov., the sky’s the limit!
OK. I’ll let her know – and maybe you’ll be getting a few more Trump voters in your state.
Thx for your replies, everyone.
After reading little’s reply, I think I’ll be allowing her to move to NC. LOL.
She’ll be closer to me than she is now, anyway.
Just voted in small town East Tennessee
Not very busy. Raining.
I’m always impressed by the voter integrity here.
That’s how it is in my part of SW Missouri. But voting in person seems to be for suckers, unfortunately. Way easier to cheat using the new mail-in ballot harvesting way.
East TX oil patch..specifically the Rose City and crown jewel of East TX, very busy and long lines at lunch. Lucky I’m self employed and had the time to stand in line that long.
My little polling place in west Texas was the busiest I’ve ever seen it.
I was in a happy mood until someone with a handicapped sticker parked, got out of her car and announced to the place in general that she didn’t want to talk to no Trump supporters.
Let me tell you what makes me so angry about that.
I can promise you that 95% of the people that could hear her were Republicans.
She was literally counting on the “Trump supporter bad” peoples’ good nature
not to jump on her.
It makes me want to spit.
I printed out a ballot for my precinct right before leaving home for my husband.
There were 3 items on the real ballot that were not on the sample ballot.
That is shoddy work. Or fraudulent work. Who knows?
One thing left off was Ted Cruz and the two people running against him.
Hmmmmmm…..
Nearly everyone who’s posted from TX today says their polling place was busy!
What … you didn’t have any keys with you?
😉
Hoping PDJT wins Virginia!
That would be so great!🙏🏼
It’s more than two hours later, watching RAV, and I think you just got your wish – they said it was about to be called…
This will start at 7:30 PM ET.
RAV has it too.
And now that I replaced my stoopid old Apple TV boxes with Rokus, I have both those channels live on my TVs instead of having to watch them on an iPad!
Listening to a Washington, D.C. radio station this afternoon, the show host told listeners that they did not need to bother to go to vote. In fact, he said that President Trump said that people did not need to vote. I find it hard to believe that President Trump would have said, and I think that host must have somehow misunderstood a Trump comment. I was only in the car long enough to hear one caller, but that man said that he was a Democrat but would be happy to vote for Nikki because he thinks she is sincere and really likes her.
My husband and I did early voting at Fairfax County, VA. The man who checked me in said that he was glad to see me because it was pretty slow. But again, that was early voting. I presented my drivers license, and then repeated my identification back to him. He asked me whether I wanted a Democrat or Republican ballot, and he gave me the correct ballot without any comment to sway me in either direction.
Some clown thought it would be funny to tell people that they could “text their vote” and they are doing jail time. It doesn’t seem like much difference to have someone announce on the radio that President Trump says they don’t need to vote. I would see that as election interference as well.
That show host should be arrested and charged with whatever Mackey was charged with!
Got all fancied up with my bright red coat and had the honor and privilege of voting for Trump in Massachusetts. Felt good,
There are more of us MAGA ‘deplorables’ here than they care to admit.
My small town, one of the reasons I love it, is conservativem even though surrounded by a sea of blue.
I have one of those too… it’s kinda purple these days, but nowhere near as bad as the fully blue ones…
Love that! I had to dress up in thick layers coz of holding a sign for two hours in the cold rain but the first thing I did at the polls was vote for PDJT!
A great feeling…
Results are starting to come in!

I’ve got the TV on. They’re reporting early on CNN, MSNBC, etc.
Here’s the Politico link. They’ll start at 7PM (VA. and VT)

Some are saying “why vote, it doesn’t matter.” Au contraire if it didn’t matter they wouldn’t be spending zillions of dollars to perfect the cheat/the BIG steal. This is what communism does it makes you lose hope, it makes you give up, don’t.
We all know some blue states will stay blue, let them. Let the whole state become like San Fransicko, Manhattan, Chi-Town, then watch the citizenry start to revolt. We are already seeing this in Massachusetts, people have had enough of the one party system, they are fighting back. Even if one or two AF candidates win it’s a start.
That’s why I left Taxachusetts for Maine 22 years ago. Here everything was quiet except for the ranked voting for President. I made sure that everyone saw my real I.D. Sagadahoc county always votes Democrat but Republicans usually get a split for the entire state.
“then watch the citizenry start to revolt”
ALL CAians can do when our elections are routinely decided for us by fraud or overturn by the corrupt bench and governator exec orders
Not a Super Tuesday state, but here in Michigans vote last week was very complacent. Mrs Bugs and I went to the polls about 5:30 pm and we were numbers 234 and 235. Our precinct roll reflects some 1800 eligible.

Sacramento Ca
Ghosts. Went by three polling places and just a handful of people around.
No lawn signs, except for mayor and city council, no one talking about the primary or anything else political.
On the senate side Steve Garvey is giving a good showing with minimal campaigning. If he can get first or second place in primary, Adam Schiff, who will be one of the two candidates, will have a problem.
Central Virgina. Live in a Dem area unfortunately. 3:30 pm sparse voters. In and out in 5 minutes only because I talked with a neighbor working it about the sourdough starter I gave her a while back and if she wants Bell Peppers if my luck with the sprouts holds. And Big Boy tomatoes. Scan card machines. Told the guy manning the machine I had a ballot from Maricopa County AZ and he didn’t flinch. Must have had the “I’m fooling about look” on my face.
Voted for DJT to let the world know Va is in play. I harshly joked about the current resident of 1600 PA Ave and no one batted an eye. Everyone knows. But it is going to get fugly before it gets better. My new sop is to no pretending and to live my best life until the contractions get strong. Hope all can do that as well. Remember – everything is possible with God.
Peace
Allen, TX at the City Hall Polling location on McDermott/Main Street… swarms of leaches representing the candidates of both political parties (the vast majority of them are Republicans) way too few voters actually passing through the congregated leaches to latch on to..
Voting has been in progress since 26 February. I pass by the this place on the way too and from the gym on a daily basis.
A Few Things of note since January 2024:
Lots of signs for Republican Candidates … but not a single sign had the voting dates.
Election voting dates were not well advertised unless one went looking for dates.
The Democrat Candidates ALL ran unopposed in their primaries.
The Republicans ALL ran NEGATIVE and Sloppy Campaign adds. Not a single positive message nor statement of what a candidate planned to accomplish.
The TX RNC issued several conflicting voter guides.
ALL the republicans claimed to be Trump Endorsed.
All in all … back to normal hot mess … I miss Allen West from 2016.
now that sounds *really* frustrating.
Sounds like Texans need to organize and straighten that mess out.
It was tried and Allen West was run out of Texas on a rail, with his wife almost put on trial for fake DUI Charges.
The money still talks in the more affluent counties. Although based on conversations I have with actual voters (fellow gym rats) of a decent age range … those who do vote are on-board with President Trump. It’s the folks with the money who still control pull the decisive strings. I learned that in 2022 while conversing with one of Suzanne Harp’s and local Collin County, TX RNC Folks in 2020 when Van Taylor (TX-3, Collin County) was replaced.
The best bet seems to be forming word of mouth blocks of votes which can have impact in low turn-out elections. I have been trying to encourage folks to vote with some success.
In the last election President Trump asked us to bring two other people into the polling places with us. Presumably, these were people who otherwise would not have gotten out to vote.
This one effort could greatly impact the UNIparty’s ballot “harvesting” strategy, where they “collect” additional ballots after polling places have closed, to make up the difference needed to win.
VT. and VA. close at 7PM ET

They already called VA for Trump.
VA already called for President Trump.
Whomp! Whomp!
I have already cast my vote for Trump. Everybody I know in Arkansas is voting for Trump. He will have no trouble winning the Razorback state. Arkansans want Freedom and they know there is only one candidate who can bring that.
Open primary in San Jose, California. Went to vote in person @ 8 AM at the local library. There were more election officials (dozen or so, plus armed security guard at the door) than voters (2 besides me).
4 assistants behind plexiglass, no line, walk right in and get my paper ballot. The ballot say to fill in the bubble with blue or black ink. Yet, each voting booth was equipped with a black Sharpie. Sure to spoil any ballot, how idiotic. I bring my own pens.
After completion, the paper ballot is inserted to a machine, with a display of the votes, and then you confirm the vote. That is fine, as long as the machine is not later tampered with online.
Most people here vote by mail, or toss the ballot into a lockbox, of which there are hundreds scattered around the city, none of them secured. Swell, as Dirty Harry would say.
It will be nice to celebrate President Trump’s overwhelming rout of Nookie Haley. There is usually little to cheer about here in the belly of the beast, Silicon Valley, left-wing loons abounding, mind-numbed robots still wearing the virtue-signaling cloth muzzles everywhere, even driving solo in their own car.

…”as long as the machine is not later tampered with online.

Exactly 🙁
I admit my voting box is in the town center of the place I live in and that town is fairly strong for Trump. When my wife and I dropped in our ballots, the parking area was filled and lots of regular looking people were voting with obvious purpose. We have all had stern faces on here lately. I think MAGA is solid here and predict a Trump blowout in Colorado tonight. Just from what I can feel around me. Trump banners are hanging from doors windows and flagpoles in almost every neighborhood. Most haven’t got a clue who Nikki Haley is and don’t care. I can only count two Haley voters among my neighbors. We will see if I am right tonight.

Ground report: It’s all snake ears and slither in the state of washington, as usual. Despite some victories thanks to pushback from voters, it’s an aggressive snake and it’s always moving. And it’s an agitated snake.
It’s no news to anyone here that these serpents are among us, but for those keeping tabs on such matters:

FTA
~~~~Washington’s Secretary of State has weaponized artificial intelligence (AI) to conduct mass surveillance ahead of the US 2024 Presidential Election.
The state’s AI is targeting journalists, conservative activists, and voters for “narratives” the state finds problematic regarding election security and integrity following factual reporting and social media posts, according to information obtained via a public disclosure request (PDR).
~~~~~Journalists and individuals have been listed as “narrative” alerts if they report on illegal immigrants voting, question the integrity of mail-in ballots and voting machines, advocate for voter ID, mention potential fraudulent election activity, discuss dead people receiving ballots and their votes being counted, advocate for election transparency, and more.
Coupled with legislation like the following, which is being signed into law, it’s pretty to see where things are headed. The snake has very big ears. I’m almost afraid to look and see what it defines as a bias incident. Even without the $2,000.00 incentive, it’s an invitation to disaster and abuse.

Robert Barnes said President Trump will have it locked up by the end of the month. Never fear.
It just cracks me up though that they thought, once again, that they had a great GOP bench, and all of them except ZERO Mitt-in-a-Skirt were smart enough to drop out, died off due to starvation of ca$h and air, before they got S T O M P E D by President Trump and MAGAville.
SoCal…the San Fernando Valley. There are 5 places to vote within 1.5 miles. The one I went to was slow all day. Empty when I got there and one came when I was finishing up.
One disappointing thing I saw the other day was a bumper sticker for Benny Benito Bernal (for House) in Spanish.
Crossfire Hurricane II, starting……..
Haley desperately wants Virginia.
I voted today at my polling place outside Richmond Virginia. We have an open primary and lots of interviews in local affiliates with Dems voting for Haley because they are “anti-Trump.” But these mostly under 30’s said they will vote Dem in November.
If she comes close or wins Va. Haley will really milk it.
They already called VA for Trump.
I voted in VA today thanks to Sundance. If he hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten. There are no yard signs in my neighborhood. I saw one Haley sign on Shore Drive. I talked to my sister last night. She didn’t know we were choosing the GOP nominee. That’s how useless the state (Bushoid) VA GOP is.
When I walked into my polling place I saw three signs. One for drop boxes, one for mail in votes and one with a number to call if you needed curbside assistance.
Once inside I had to show my picture ID. I pointed out I was being discriminated against in that those who used ballot boxes didn’t have to show ID. The young poll watcher explained that they had to initially show ID. He didn’t get what I was saying, that anybody could vote via ballot box is s/he could get his hands on a ballot.
Christie, Vivek, Trump, DeSantis, Hallery (sic), were all on the ballot.
As I have since 2013 when the voting machine kept changing my vote for the Repub to a vote for the Dem (who won) I refused the “I Voted” sticker telling the man I am not sure I did.
The ballot box dumps is how they will steal another election.
Voted mid-morning. I was the only one voting at the time in my small town Tennessee precinct. I think people know it’s a foregone conclusion that Trump will win the primary in our state. Many people also vote early. I expect a huge turnout in November.
A positive sign is that my county has gone from all electronic voting machines to ones that also have a paper printout that I verified before leaving.
East Tennessee and SW Virginia news reporting slow going at the polls
I voted in TN and it looked steady at my polling place
Long line all day here in my south Tx precinct(Bexar County). Wife and I just got back from voting. Line moved fairly quick. Everyone friendly. Elapsed time 1 hr.
Trump projected to win VA according to TGP:
LIVE UPDATES: Polls Close in Vermont and Virginia – Trump Projected Winner in Virginia! | The Gateway Pundit | by Jordan Conradson
Vermont is looking like a nail-biter right now.
Poll observer – NC. Poll workers said that the day was very slow, but from the time I arrived until the time I left (about 4 hours), it was fairly busy for a small rural county, many people coming from work.
From what I saw, it seemed that more people were voting today than had voted in 2022 on “election day”. I’ll be interested to see the numbers.
One observation. Many registered independents asked for a Republican ballot. But when they said which ballot they wanted, they whispered Republican or said it under their breath. People who asked for a Democrat ballot didn’t whisper.
Someone was giving out “church fans” with Black Voters Matter printed in white on black background (the AME vote?).
