What is happening in your neighborhood, town, hamlet, village, county or city? How are the polls in your area?
Ground reports have a record of accuracy.
CT early voting starts OCT 21. I will be going on that day.
In CT, where I live I have seen some Kamala signs but those are being displayed by houses that typically are over the top Democrat. Those don’t surprise me; I have lived here 16 years now and see these places displaying Dem signs every election cycle.
I look for differences; differences are all over the place with the main one being Trump signs being displayed by homes (and businesses) who I have never seen display any type of political sign previously. Yes, there Trump signs in the traditional places in the same manner that I have seen Kamala sings. But it’s those differences that stick out.
I am in central CT, Farmington Valley area.
Hearing from people I know in New Haven County of numerous Trump signs where none have been seen before. Same sort of difference is sticking out with them. Two people texted pictures – not that I would doubt them -because they were pleasantly surprised.
Same here, So Cal, not OC, where there were zero Trump signs in the past, seeing them on houses now, with the Dem signs being almost non-existent where they were before. I saw one.
No excuse anymore. Either your an ignorant idiot not willing to DYR beyond yahoo news when you open your laptop, or your vote is driven by Trump hate ie you’re brainwashed to the point you are willing to side with insincerity, lying and 4 more yrs of inflation and not feeling safe locally or from WWIII, which winds back to being an idiot.
Dem voters had their little time after the debate, but that was a blip, overall they are WAY less proud than they used to be.
I am in the OC, Huntington Beach in fact. We are strong MAGA with signs and flags everywhere. Not a single Kameltoe / Elmer Fudd sign anywhere.
In my corner of southeastern MA I’m seeing similar things. Harris signs are around, but are sporadic. Not as many Trump signs, but they are around and I know of at least two that were removed by “irregular procedure.” But the ones around now are not being removed.
Interestingly I see Harris signs at private residences, and Trump signs at public/commercial spots but no Harris signs at the public spots and fewer Trump signs at private residences.
I’ve seen almost no bumper stickers for either candidate but the ratio is probably almost 1-1.
I’m in same area. Recently drove through Bristol… lots of Trump signs. Voting Mon. 10:00 am.
I see the same in Bristol as well on drive thoughs.
Add in Tennessee – Oct. 16 – Oct. 31
Plan to vote Tomorrow.
Voted today in TN. Our county was up 25% in first day voting compared to 2020. That is huge.
Voted the first day of early voting and the place was packed at 10:30.
Went to early vote here in my town in TN on the 16th… there was a 2 1/2 hour wait – and the line looked like something at Disney world, the way it looked back and forth…went back today, same thing – 2 hour + wait…
Voted yesterday in East Tennessee. Long,
Long line. Unusual because normally I am in and out of early voting very quickly. Asked a clerk and she said the first day of voting they served over 2000 early voters, strong turnout.
Hoping that President Trump and Rep. Tim Burchett are re-elected. I did my part…
That must have felt like you were lined to get into a Trump rally! In a way, maybe you were. We can hope.
Former NYer here. Voted in (Middle) TN today for the first time. Line was long. TRUMP 2024!
From the MN avoters Alliance:
Hennepin County and its election officials failed to appoint any election judges from the Republican Party of Minnesota’s dedicated list (“Party List”) of candidate election judges as required by law. As a result, the current ABB has zero Republican-affiliated election judges from the Party List.
A few cities have also not balanced out election judges representation.
MN is a lost cause 🙁
Resident trying to find an exit strategy
Move to Wisconsin, it’s still winnable
I trust your Republican party at the County and State have already filed lawsuits?
No, not the party; a non profit filed a suit. Discusting!! But the GOP have no problem begging for money.
Like the UK, MN, where many of my relatives live, is lost.
Also in Virginia! Voted yesterday for Trump and other Republicans. The line was 41 minutes long. District libraries are open now but not yet individual precncts [Fairfax County Virginia]. This area is 2 to 1 dem vs rep. GOP heavily present in line and 3 times as many MAGA activists with tables and tents as dems.
Orange County Virginia here. Voted a week ago Thursday. Saw a few Harris/Waltz signs in the Town and along roads. More as you get closer to Charlottesville, but that is to be expected as it is the home of UVA. More people in Orange County are tired of Democrat lies and the attack on the Second Amendment.
Interesting. Laura Ingraham commented recently that she hasn’t seen as many dem signs in Fairfax County as usual. She’s lives somewhere in that county. You think there’s an enthusiasm problem among the less rabid dems?
There are none. There is no enthusiasm. Trump is ahead 70-30. Don’t forget he got 75m votes last time and he’s more popular now. I know of tons of Dems voting Trump. Don’t know a single rep voting Harris. That says it all in reality if this is an honest election
The Trumpster + Jedi Vance = 100,000,000 votes…
Too big to rig LANDSLIDE victory…
FallRINOs…
FDNC…

Either that or, despite still intending to vote for Harris, they’re too embarrassed to advertise it.
Have seen almost exclusively Harris signs in Fairfax County, VA. On a drive to Middleburg, VA we observed that almost every sign on the side of the road was a Harris sign. In fact, most of these were not the usual small signs like one typically sees on the side of the road, but they were absolutely huge signs, often on both side of the road — all for Harris. The only other large sign observed was one that read, “Farmers for Trump.”
However, during a recent drive through the countryside of Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York, nearly every sign was for President Trump.
So it appears as expected — that urban areas support Harris and outside of the cities the people prefer Trump.
Or that urban areas are targeted with high dollar Que Mala signage.
Yep. (Speaking as someone living in the Denver metro area.)
Chicago suburb – yard signage is about 50/50. Lots of tension among coworkers choosing sides. No one I know is choosing to vote early unless they plan on being out of town. I suggested to my husband that we change our ringtones to Kamela’s laugh…just to remind people of what they’re potentially voting for if they choose the wrong candidate. 😆
Oh dear, are you sure you want to do that? What if you get a call in the middle of the night and wake up to that demonic laugh? I shudder to think . . . .
😂 I told my husband that he’d have to set a different default for my phone number (and vice versa). I don’t want him associating talking to me with that laugh.
I recommend voting early. The evil commies are no doubt planning chaos on election day.
The dems dry run was the mid terms 2022 election day chaos in Arizona. Not enough ballots and breakdowns just to name a few.
I’m in a western Chicago suburb and my neighbors tend to be a mix of blue collar (seniors) or white collar (millennials in starter homes). I doubt that many vote early. I never have. Signage is about 6: 1 Harris unfortunately and kind of aligns with the number of roofs with solar panels. In comparison, I saw almost wall to wall Trump signage driving up and back to northern WI a few weeks ago. Even the cemetery plot next to my parents’ up there was decked out with Trump signage. Tragically my old high school lunch table crowd was actually singing the praises of the recent Harris/Mollie Shannon video via text this morning. All I can say is that they are the classic case of heavily degreed, suburban white women who’ve somehow lost their minds. Not sure how (of the 8 of us) only I managed to escape this bizarre fate other than I stopped at 4 yrs of college. Thank God for that, but I hate always feeling so outnumbered when I vote in IL.
I was at Uchicago graduation in 2019. One Speaker, a gentleman, Spoke to the audience during the ceremony – about 10 minutes and all good about Trump. I couldn’t believe it and I very much wanted to look around to see people’s expressions but stopped short of rudeness. I felt like I was not wholly alone.
In 2017 in NYC, at the premier of The Chinese Exclusion Act documentary Ric Burns spoke libtard left (TDS) crap… the audience loved, cheered and clapped in agreement. I felt wholly alone. The University where premier was held – their bathrooms were for all sexes. So awkward. What was originally the women’s room had large red panic emergency button alarms next to the tp (reduce being Sued?).
I’ve been around the country a bit and divided is visible, but same is true within family. Clueless commies all around me, even now.
NB is New Brunswick. Nebraska is NE.
All Oregon ballots were mailed to the voters this week.
Texas begins early voting 21 Oct. Our sample ballots are marked and ready to take to the polls Monday! This is an ‘active adult community’ and the Trump signs are all over the place. There are little enclaves of Harris/Scmaltz signs, but not nearly the number of Clinton or Biden signs we saw in the past.
Georgia started this past Tuesday, 10/15. When I voted Thursday afternoon, the poll worker shared that our tiny little county (Cook) in South Georgia had already recorded 1300 votes…a record shattering number. I know it’s not much, but percentage-wise it is notable. The poll worker was impressed.
What do ya know! A sane Cook County!
It’s the rural GA counties that will save the day and get GA over the red line!!
Only if the rules put in place by the state elections board can stop the shenanigans in Fulton County.
Longest lines ever in our area of NC and it stayed that way all day at all four early voting locations. Incredible turnout!
does that mean Republicans are voting for Trump, or Dems are turning out?
I was a poll worker today and then voted afterwards. Yesterday and today were an hour wait ALL day. I can say that what I heard and saw in rural NE NC was amazing. Almost everyone in line were Trump voters. Chatting and laughing. Many of us were agreeing that we had never voted before election day. This was a new experience for many of us and could not believe the lines!! Our little precincts on election day never have more than a short wait.
It was encouraging to say the least. GOP guy was playing YMCA in the tent across the road. We all laughed when it came on.
Record early turnout in GA, over 1 million in 4 days.
Almost no Harris/Walz signs, some but not a lot of Trump signs.
This is Gwinnett Co., GA (aka blue diverse shithole)
T
My sister is in Decatur, outside Atlanta. Harris signs are in a lot of yards; she’s seen only one for President Trump. She voted for the Republicans on her ballot today, but many of the races had only unopposed dems.
Decatur is enemy territory. Shitlib central. Never go there except that the best grocery store in Atlanta is there so I brave it occasionally……
T
Part of metro Atlanta, the Yankee enclave of Georgia.
The carpet baggers came south after the Civil War and they never stopped…My apologies to the one or two that are “fine people”…as PDJT likes to say.
You have my sympathy living in Gwinnett Co. I was paroled from there…
Albuquerque NM, very few yard signs as I drive across the largely democrat city. In fact I see more signs for Grit then for any candidate.
I see same, unusually so. But need to do a little more looking around.
RFK still on ballot in MN.
Interesting gender trend in judiciary, e.g, iirc, 11 of 13 court of appeals candidates are women.
Metro area and college towns are Dem, Outstate is Rep.
Dem candidate are running mainly on abortion.
GlreaGreat to see Walz taking lumps.
I hesitate to say it but I will: Not good to move toward a majority female judiciary. Not good at all. My wife would agree, too.
We voted today in Robertson County, TN (Middle Tennessee). We were in line for 30 minutes. One of the gentlemen ploe workers said they had been busy all day.
Here in a Pinal County, AZ city I have seen only one Harris-Walz sign in one yard. Tons of Trump signs in yards and along roadways!
Same report from Cochise County, AZ! No Harris-Walz signs in this neighborhood.
I put a solar powered motion light on my sign which stands beneath a little AZ ash tree. The slightest flutter of leaves turns the light on., flashing TRUMP at night. Neighbor across the street has a huge Trump flag draped across their fence. I had to do something to keep up with them! 🙂
Born and raised in Bisbee!
That’s worth a video! This early voting report is the best part of Conservative Treehouse!
In Pinal County as well. Mostly PDJT signs. Dropped off prop ballot info to a Trump guy today. His neighbor was complaining that he had to sell his F 150. ‘Couldn’t afford gas. In front of his home he has a Harris sign.
Can’t fix stupid…and that’s the truth.
What an idiot! I guess he enjoys high gas prices.
In Virginia Harris Walz signs are almost non-existent. In my particular county almost every Harris/Walz sign wears a
In black spray paint.
Recent trip across North Carolina and again very few to none Harris/Walz sign but lots of Trump signs
GA started early voting on 15 October. My wife and I voted on 17th at around noon. Traffic was heavy at the County Board of Elections, there was a line that moved very quickly. Door to door time was about 30 minutes. We (Lowndes County) are the largest county (by population) in South Georgia. Voting here has been quite heavy.
New York early voting starts October 26.
Mark your calendar for Madison Square Garden Trump Rally on Sunday, October 27, 2024.
Voted yesterday in Hampton Roads area in Virginia. I am hearing good things about the GOP turnout in the state. Seth Keshel keeps pointing out that the first state to flip will be Virginia.
Just south of Raleigh, NC. Lines looked to be over 100 at 2 different times I went by. I will try for next week. More Trump signs 10 -1 in this area. Early voting is very heavy according to local news.
‘The Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November, in every even numbered year, is established as the day for the election, in each of the States and Territories of the United States, of Representatives and Delegates to the Congress commencing on the 3d day of January next thereafter.’ – 2 U.S. Code Section 7
THE LAW specifies a ‘day for the election,’ not a period of time. ALL of this ‘early voting’ is an outrageous, illegal travesty. It is also an engine of fraud.
I object like hell.
I agree, but you gotta play the game with the rules that exist. Ohio State found that out late against Oregon last week.
I got a bad feeling about this too. Seems it’ll just make it far easier for them to steal it in the end.
2016- Dems failed to pad enough extra votes.
2020- they had to stall the results to cheat & win.
2024- plenty of time to offset the ongoing count.
But I hope to be wrong.
At some point if we have more votes than voters, fraud will be clear
PA had a million more votes than registered voters in 2020, but they certified it anyway, despite the obvious voter fraud. They don’t care if we know they cheated because they know they can get away with it.
That was then. This is now. We are not sitting back shocked at the cheat, we are expecting it and plannign for it. Report problems at votealert.org and unite4freedom.com where they are collecting evidence for lawsuits.
Unite4freedom has positioned for lawsuits against fraud, based on 2022 elections. They already have cases in the works with standing. 2024 fraud can add to those cases.

I voted in north central NC today. I live in a very red county. The line was 2+ hours long at a local church. Turnout was strong yesterday as well. Nothing unusual happened. I noticed kamala/walz was top of the screen on left. Trump/Vance was middle right
SD, you forgot to finish your final sentence. I will do so for you if you do not mind. And the legacy media, not so much!! There. Have our ballots in Pinellas County Florida. Two hurricanes in 2 weeks is a bit of overkill but we are moving forward one day at a time. Prayers for all those affected much worse than my beautiful and blessed family. We will submit our ballots for DJT and Senator Scott and Rep. Luna on Monday. Trump signs in our neighborhood but have not seen a Harris sign yet. Two weeks from this coming Tuesday we decide the future. Let’s all make sure we perform our civic responsibility and make the morning of 11/6 the start of our journey forward towards greatness.
Rural south Arkansas.
In 2016 there were Trump signs everywhere. He carried the whole of Arkansas. The support was obvious in signage and vehicle window stickers. 2020 same way; but Trump “lost” [they say].
I’m a land surveyor and travel the county and surrounding fringes daily. Those that never took down their home and business flags and banners since 2020 are still up and now dressed up. But beyond those their are conspicuously FEW yard signs and window stickers on cars. I talk with land owners of all stripes. They’ll vote, and mostly for Trump; but they’ve become reserved about it and they’re not as “evangelistic” about him in discussion as in 2015 & 2019.
I see quiet, but steel like RESOLVE that knows it doesn’t need to “advertise.”
I think Sundance calls that “COLD ANGER.”
Not a bunch of Trump signs in my neck of the woods in NC, but traveling into the nearby Dem-run city there are lots of Harris signs on the side of the road. Not many in yards, however, so those are just put up by the local DNC.
Our neighborhood, unlike in 2020, have few signs. I didn’t put one up this year. We know who is voting for whom.
More yard signs for Trump this time than 2020 and no Harris signs. There were a few Biden signs in 2020. I hope Biden voters in our neighborhood have been chastised back to Trump.
Northeast Ohio, very conservative suburb. In 2016 there were a lot of Trump signs, but not more signs than past “normal” election years. In 2020 there were a lot more signs and also that’s when I started seeing the flags. We didn’t really put up signs in our yards at that time.
After the steal, many people left their signs up. Our neighbor had a big Trump 2020 flag that he left up and then got a Trump 2024 flag before he even announced he was running.
Here’s what I see now. Not just signs, but HUGE signs, some almost like billboards. Trump supporters who have homes on busy streets especially have the huge signs.
People with fences around their yards hanging banners all along the fence, like Christmas decorations. Flags hanging under or near their American flags.
And for the first time ever, we have a sign in our yard. Right near my front porch next to our flagpole.
Four houses in my neighborhood so far with Harris signs. Those who don’t like President Trump but are too embarrassed (I guess) to put a Harris sign are putting up a sign that says they support “Choice, Freedom, Healthcare” which I think is a way of saying they are prochoice and therefore of course will not vote for a Republican. (But that’s just my guess.)
SW Ohio. I voted October 8. Line was about 1/2 hr wait.
Clermont County solid red outside the cites as is all of Ohio and I get around.
Blue signs have been hen’s teeth until last couple of weeks.
Keeping their powder dry it seems. Seeing more and more.
Dems as slowly destroying Ohio with Constitutional amendments almost exclusively powered by out of state money!!!! This will be their third attack and I have no idea how it will go down. They are using red signs for deception….
Do you notice how it’s always “Issue 1”. No, Yes, No? I forgot.
Actually, I did not but it gets confusing. This time Issue One is a big NO!
When will you be able to dump governor DeRINO?
Soon. Problem is who will replace him?
South Carolina starts Monday. I plan to vote on Thursday or Friday. I will definitely be choosing the “select all republicans” option. I’ll never vote for another democrat.
Not sure what system is in use there. I prefer to go down and mark each race. Then there no way for anyone to misunderstand my intent.
WY is going true conservative and it is driving the RINOs apoplectic. The populace here has really woken up to their games. Early voting is up. There are 10 very important and competitive races for the House and also leadership fights for the Senate.
The biggest issue is the Governor who is a Democrat in Republican clothing. It will be interesting how he reacts and responds to the conservative wave in this state.
Love my state!
I’ll be voting 47 on the 5th!
The info on the interactive map for Colorado is wrong – It says Oct 21 – Ballots were mailed out on Oct 11 and started being returned on Monday Oct 14 ( uocava ballots were mailed out even earlier)
I am an election judge so I know !
Arapahoe County shows 725 ballots came in before the day the ballots were mailed out – that’s UOCAVA! A whole lot more than last time (can’t remember off the top of my head whether it was 52 or 152 last time.)
Definitely an indication of where to watch for the steal!
Early voting started yesterday inNC. I’m in Orange county which is sadly mostly blue leaning, but I’m hoping the crime in Durham and Chapel Hill has woken up some of the dunderheads. I’m in the agricultural belt and all of those people will be voting Trump, of course. I went to the more rural voting station in Efland to avoid the lines I heard about at other polling stations yesterday. My son and I had to wait about 10-15 minutes to get in, it wasn’t terrible. ID was checked, so that was reassuring.
Yep, our second Photo ID requirement survived the 4th’s judges this time.
Howdy neighbor. Alamance County here. Lines have been long and I’m thankful I still live in a red county.
Hi neighbor! I’m often in Mebane for the meat market and the shooting range 🙂
Record turnout for NC early voting. Long lines witnessed in Guilford County which typically goes blue. Published even split between Dems and Repubs, so that is a significant increase for Repubs for early voting. Unaffiliateds are still a question mark as to how they will break.
We are unaffiliated and will be voting early soon in NC.
Same story/news here in the county next to you on the west side, Forsyth county.
Same story on the east side, Alamance.
Guilford County is Greensboro, I think. Mark Robinson is from there, I believe.
Deborah, you are correct. Mark Robinson is from Greensboro and he will be getting our votes. We will not be voting for another DEM governor who gets into the office and then follows the Dem machine in action against the wishes of We The People.
10+ years fighting the Dem Machine for Voter ID which started with Eric Holder and of course Cooper’s mishandling of support for victims of Helene in western NC to cite a couple of examples.
We also have an opportunity to up the Repubs on the NC Supreme Court as a Dem is retiring . Jefferson g. Griffin is running for Seat 6. And we must keep the super-majority in NC House and Senate if we must tolerate another Dem governor to override the vetoes that are sure to come with a Dem governor.
Pennsylvania is early voting, not sure why it isn’t on the list. I see a lot more Trump support in some areas as far as yard signs go. Harris support appears to be greater in my area than what Hillary had, but not as much as Biden. PA is going to be tight.
“Early Voting” in Pennsylvania seems to just be a condensed version of voting by mail … At the location I visited, in one felled swoop, you could: (1) obtain and fill out an APPLICATION for a mail-in ballot; (2) turn it in; (3) wait a few minutes to be admitted into the building where you received and completed an official ballot; (5) inserted it into both the “inner” and “outer” envelopes; and, finally, (6) placed it into an official dropbox.
Yes, that is not really early
voting.
It’s semantics.
PA is not going to be tight! Trump will win in a landslide just like he did in 2020. The massive cheating is the problem! PA may be stolen again!
I live in allegheny county and I spend a lot of time in Washington and Westmoreland. It looks like it will be close. Unless if the rural counties get extremely high turnout.
Monday, Oct 15, I was traveling through a dark blue suburban area of large town in Middle Ga. This is decidedly a low income area and I would estimate >95% black population. An area where in the past there were countless BLM and Biden/Harris/Warnock signs. In the 3-4 mile trip through potholed streets, boarded up crack houses, and junk cars, I saw precisely zero Harris signs.
Well, hell – what has Kamala done for them lately? 🙂
Idaho began early voting October 15th. Two initiatives on our ballot: the first is to amend the state’s constitution to mandate that ONLY US citizens are allowed to vote in all elections in ID (federal, state, and local). A no-brainer, and I think it will pass.
The second is Ranked Choice voting. Ugh. Petitioners were ultra-deceptive in fooling enough people to sign a petition to put this on the ballot, calling it the “Open Primary” initiative. In reality, it is the proverbial camel’s head under the tent, as this is an attempt to turn Idaho purple and then blue. Many Republicans were duped into signing the petition, as they were lied to about its intent. Hopefully, many have seen their error and will vote “no.” Our RINO governor, most elected Republicans, and our congressional delegation have come out AGAINST it. Hopefully, we can stop this.
I believe Montana, Colorado and Virginia have Ranked Choice on their ballots as well, but I could be wrong. But clearly, George Soros and his evil minions will not rest to destroy the Republic, even if the communists lose the Presidency, the Senate, and/or the House.
Be vigilant! And Go Vote 🙂
In Kentucky it also adds, in addition to only US citizens voting, “No idiots or insane people.” My daughter got a kick out of that – cause I raised her right!
I think Alaska also has ranked choice.
Here in CO it is on the ballot !
CO has a bunch of — absolute NO ! — items on the ballot this year !
Sadly, a lot of RINOs support ranked choice. In other words, they’re suicidal suckers.
Watch out! I have been warning people, they might let President Trump win, and say, “see? no fraud!” as they steal all the downballot races, and some of the most dangerous downballot things are ballot questions like this. If they say Idaho voted for RCV, demand receipts! Do NOT certify or accept the results if they can’t/won’t show you every step of the process proving Idahoans actually voted for it!
Confirming that a couple ballot initiatives which would institute ranked choice voting are on the ballot in Montana. The third ballot measure is designed to enshrine the worst kind of leftist abortion on demand up to birth without restriction into the state constitution and includes some horrible tranny stuff too. All three funded by big out of state money from the likes of Soros. Paid signature gatherers were around like flies on shit for months earlier this year.

Texas early voting starts Monday and I’ll be thereby 8:30AM. This is definitely Trump Country.
As noted elsewhere, TX starts Oct 21. My county will go 30+ points for Trump, but I have probably seen equal number of signs for both.
Waited in an extremely long line to vote today. There were just as many males as females in line. Saw several groups of family members together. I voted early in the state of Louisiana.
Orange County California and Salt Lake City Utah.
I live in Orange County California and voting began two weeks ago. I also signed up to be a poll worker and am assigned to Laguna Beach at an 11 day vote center.
My daughter, who moved two years ago to Salt Lake City, UT,called to tell us that she got a California ballot for my wife at her Salt Lake City address. My wife also got a vote by mail ballot at our Dana Point home address.
Whooho wife gets to vote for Trump twice! More importantly she can vote twice against the Communist Representative Mike Levin who is our congressman. /sarc.
I am going to have a lot of fun with Orange County, California Registrar of Voters with this one. She filed no mail forwarding information with any federal or state agency. (Perhaps some Treepers have a few suggestions to further making fun of California’s government.
Also: Colorado. We got our ballots in the mail yesterday.
I always find the defensiveness of the County’s “election integrity” web page humorous. They, too, adopt the “disinformation” label: https://clerkandrecorder.elpasoco.com/elections/election-integrity/
The drop box cameras are a perfect example of why mail-in voting is ripe for fraud. People lie. People cheat. A ballot box camera does nothing unless there are people monitoring them 24/7 and tracking vehicles and people going to those drop boxes around the County.
And they never address the fundamental problem with mail-in voting:
it is ILLEGAL to campaign at a voting location, but it is perfectly okay to run TV ads and have people knocking on doors because enforcement is impossible.it is ILLEGAL (and nearly impossible) to vote for somebody else at a voting location, but anybody, literally anyone, can fill out your mail-in ballot. All you need to do is have the voter sign it. There’s basically no way to enforce attempts at voter intimidation in the home.Think of everything that is ILLEGAL to do outside or inside a voting center. All of those things can be done, consequence-free, inside somebody’s home.Anyway, my plan is to vote in person and spoil the mail-in ballots and get my wife and daughter to do the same.
If you decide to vote by mail, it has to be received by the County Clerk by 7pm on election day (11/5). Pres. Trump has made it clear VOTE VOTE VOTE don’t get caught up in the worries about mail-in ballots to the point where you wait until election day and something goes wrong. You trip on a sidewalk and end up in the ER unable to vote, and we’re all screwed. VOTE VOTE VOTE. If you can vote early in-person, that is best, imho.
I was told by the El Paso County clerk they were in fact livestreaming all the ballot box cameras this year. I suggest you check and find out – and get friends to make a montage of those camera feeds and watch those livestreams 24/7! (If it’s boring – that’s good!)
Here in Oakland County Michigan, Harris signs outnumber Trump signs more than 5 to 1. Visited my mother today in Wayne County… it’s so much worse there. We have a cottage on the other side of the state near Kalamazoo where it’s easily 10 Trump signs for every Harris sign, unfortunately sparsely populated there.
Really?!?! Exactly where in Oakland county? Because I’m seeing pretty much the opposite of what you stated-???
Novi area. Sure there’s some pockets where you see a lot of Trump signs but in general this is a very liberal area (west of here also… all the way to Ann Arbor and East Lansing). Likely above M59 you will see a reversal.
Mail in ballots arrived on Oct. 16 here in Cache County Utah. 😒
Middle TN just south oh Nashville. I was poll watching today, third day of early voting. Very heavy turnout all 3 days so far.
Thank you for poll watching!
Voted in Northern VA earlier this week. Mid-day. No line. Few voters present.
Maybe that’s a good sign?
I live in college town in NC so very blue area. This is the first time I have ever seen Trump signs and very clever ones that say things like “I heart 20% inflation” and “border smorder” etc and they’ve not been destroyed!
Early voting vs Nov. 5th voting? Which is better?
30+ years in IT here. Coder, DBA, very large platforms.
I was caught in the 2022 Election Day wide-spread machine failures in Maricopa County, AZ. On that day there were 7 voting sites within 20 min drive of my house. 5 of the 7 had machine failures. I went to 3 of them to see the failures for myself.
Don’t wait until the last day.
Agree me too. Voted already for that very reason
I plan to wait until the last day and if there is a problem, loudly demand my right as an American eligible voter to cast my ballot on Election Day. Making a huge fuss is a large part of fixing the problem.
Early voting or wait until Nov.5th voting? Which one is better?
Please vote early – learn from history – commiecrats have caused too many problems in too many places to wait until Nov 5 !
Please Bank your vote early !
Retired Magistrate here: Central Ohio reporting in. We usually don’t vote early but we did this year. Polling place was packed but everything was very efficient. Here in Ohio we passed a constitutional amendment that you have to be a citizen to vote. After showing my federal ID, I was shown to a voting booth and the woman who was assisting voters made sure that I understood how to use the voting machine. Note: Every time there is an election my husband and I vote. Too many people have died for our right to vote.
I voted, double checked it, checked the print out and my vote was tabulated while I watched.
When we came out there was a gentlemen in the parking lot who had paid for Trump, Issue 1 and other signs. We took several. We discussed the importance of this election; it was good to talk to a very energetic Trump supporter.
We see some signs for Harris; however, these are in areas that are traditionally Democrat. In the rural areas all you see are Trump signs. I am relieved that we have voted. I was concerned that we would get sick or something weird would happen and we would not be able to vote on election day. So chalk up 2 votes for Trump in Central Ohio.
I am in Delaware. My state has early voting starting on the 25th. I will go to vote early. It will be interesting to see how many others come out early to vote.
My husband is on the phone right now talking to his brother who lives in Pensacola and his brother said he and 20 of his retired navy brothers are going together to vote for Trump first thing Monday morning.
Georgia too. Started 10/15.
Im curious how quickly he will jump to big leads in some of these states and they have to “close down” counting for the night. What was the highest percent lead he had in 2020 when they stopped counting. Are they going to have to stop counting by 8? Are they going to have to break a water pipe by 830?
Here in AZ (Cave Creek) in person begins next Fridat, 25th. We shall be going.
Hi Camp… I believe there are 12 locations already open for in-person voting. Note that 4 are ASU campus sites.

We voted in person yesterday. Same for the state. Early voting started the 9th of this month.
I am in Montana and received my absentee ballot a few days ago. I will have it filled out tomorrow and ready to send. I also received a card in the mail from the Montana Secretary of State that explains you can track your ballot status. You can see sent, received, accepted, and how to contact your county if you didn’t’t receive your ballot or if the status was” undeliverable or rejected”.
