DATA: While it is not my intent to interpret the data too much, I must say the current status of the EARLY VOTE looks good; very good for President Trump.
♦ IN PERSON EARLY VOTE ♦ – More than 38 million U.S. voters have gone in-person to vote, according to the latest data from the University of Florida’s Election Lab. Four years ago, that number was just over 35 million. Main Point: 2024 “In Person” early voting has already exceeded the 2020 result.
♦ TOTAL EARLY VOTE ♦ – In 2020 30% of “Total” early voters (in person and mail in) were Republican, almost 45% were Democrats. That gap has narrowed substantially. So far, 36% of “Total” early voters are Republican, and 38% have been Democrats. [*Note: while the numbers will grow, the percentages are not likely to change.] Main Point: A 15-point Democrat advantage has been dropped to 2%.
Here comes a jaw-dropping statistic….
♦ YOUNG VOTERS ♦ According to the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE), 70% of young Americans aged 18-25 voted early in 2020. Currently, only 8% of those aged 18-25 are voting early. For some reason there has been a massive drop in early voting amid those aged 18-25. If this detached trend carries into Tuesday, well, it’s game over for Harris everywhere.

Austin, TX
I tried to vote early for three days in a row. Parking lot was jammed, street parking was jammed, and there was a line halfway around the building. Finally voted the 4th day. Pretty sure most of these voters were Trump voters.
Don’t count on that, Austin used to be known as weird. Now it’s like San Fransisco only much bigger .. I miss when Austin was weird..
🇺🇲❤️
I live in Southern California. Conservatives in my area are terrified to display a Trump sign. Harris signs only allowed. Twice I had yard signs, once for Bush, once for Romney. Both were taken the first night. So maybe people are putting out Trump signs and the D’s go around stealing them all.
Also, Trump signs are not free. Harris signs are free and easy to obtain.
So, maybe someone should get lots of Harris signs, and put them out on lawns, with the “F”-word added before “Harris”…
Would be great for target practice…..can’t arrest you for destroying your own sign…
Yeah, they are. You should be able to get them from your local Republican party for free….
We paid $5.00 for our Trump sign that we got at GOP headquarters in Ft Collins Colorado. All other GOP candidate signs were free but you pay for Trump signs – gladly!!!
What are you talking about. Got mine for free. So did my neighbors.
Stealing life, liberty, and property is the only thing I’ve known democratic-socialists and/or social-democrats to support. TDS deniers are borderline schizophrenics. It effects how they think, feel, and behave. My opinion only.
Trust the Science
“People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality, which causes significant distress for the individual, their family members, and friends.” (nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/schizophrenia)

I loved passing out candy to trick or treaters on Halloween but it was definitely partisan. 🤣
In West Michigan my neighborhood is a mix historically.
I felt like I only got Trump trick or treaters there were acknowledgements even from some older kids.
This election people are afraid to put Trump signs out so more Harris signs, but after President Trump was shot we got our Trump flag and Trump signs and put them out that night.
No one has vandalized them and I got more trick or treaters than usual with many parents escorting their little ones and several giving me a thumbs up but,there’s not MAGA stuff worn around here there’s a reluctance, which is sad.
I don’t believe that crap about females not liking President Trump and the fear factor stuff is antiquated driveling.
Look what the women did to get the vote so these idiots are just trying to sell a steal that shouldn’t be close!!!
Trump 2024
I didn’t get many trick-or-treaters, but two kids showed up dressed as garbage men. We all had a good laugh at that!
You are right not to believe the crap about women not liking Trump. I go to lunch once a month with a group of former co-workers (all women) and everyone single one has already voted for Trump.
I do not believe the polls. Just like with Biden who didn’t campaign much and when he did he couldn’t fill the ten or twelve circles. The polls are neck and neck only so the steal is believable. MHOO
I don’t know about that, to me it’s kind of like those caveman commercials. My son has a Schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Even at this most psychotic years ago, when he was hospitalized and suffering with wild paranoid delusions and didn’t make a lot of sense, he insists that still knew the difference between right and wrong. He strongly disagrees with people who use Schizophrenia as an excuse for violence.
Psycho she should be arrested for threats.
There’s no going back from that she is incapable of having a rational conversation with “the enemy” Trump supporters.
Hillary would love to put her to work harassing and scaring people.
Her language proves her own demonism!
I am reminded of the old vaudeville skit Niagara Falls, in which a lunatic is triggered into strangling his listener every time he hears “Niagara Falls,” and of course the listener inadvertently says “Niagara Falls” several times!
“Slowly I turned, step by step…” 🙂
Sid Fields and Lou Costello: 7 minutes of comedy gold.
A mind completely gone. Another menopausal harpy with a bad day of hot flashes. And I say that as a woman who went through menopause so I know what I’m talking about. LOL
I made the error of informing my husband and young, adult children that I really had never exhibited any menopausal systems.
All three of them stopped conversing and stared dead-on at me.
My son’s incredulous comment was,
“Mom, are you freaking kidding me!?”
Apparently, (according to eyewitnesses) I was mistaken.
Funny. Thanks.
I wonder if the division in this country due to covidiots and TDS will repair in my lifetime.
I’ve never seen so many people completely deranged to the point that they would cut off family members and close friends. It’s just absolutely insane. I don’t expect apologies, but I do expect civility, kindness, gentleness, and generosity.
There is a deep sense of self-righteousness among the Lefties and Christians who say they cannot vote for “that bad man” Trump. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees. It’s very sad to me. I guess if you sit on your butt watching CNN or MSNBC on a large screen television for countless hours, you will be brainwashed. Sad. Sigh…
I won’t put out a Trump sign because my next door neighbor would go berserk. He’s a left wing moon bat. When Trump won in 2016, he was out in his yard cussing, screaming, and generally going nuts for all the world to see. Remember what Rand Paul’s next door neighbor did to him in his own garage? Yea. that’s why many of us won’t display a Trump sign. Fear of bodily harm.
How sad that you feel scared to show your support for the only man/platform that can save our country. I started a Trump organization eight years ago after working for DT and have received countless harassment and serious threats but I never give up. I have signs in my yard and will continue to put up with the Left’s deranged behavior. Our country is at stake. Don’t fear them…
Good job. I am literally the only person in my neighborhood with a Trump sign, yet I know all my neighbors are voting for him. It truly is fear of vandalism that suppresses most Yard displays. I’ve had my Trump flag up since July 13 and so far, so good. We have to be courageous!
Sitting out in your yard with a shotgun across your lap “in case of varmints”, is a pretty good deterrent.
I always thought it would be interesting if someone like Steven Crowder or maybe Elon Musk parked two modest cars in a parking lot; each displaying a campaign sticker, one Trump the other Harris and video if anyone does anything to the car.
Unfortunately this is something that California exported to too many states.
It was widely accepted that you could put bumper stickers on your car supporting Greenies, leftists, Marxists, democraps, independents but gasp, heaven forbid if your car had an R supporting sticker.
Your car could be keyed or vandalized without sanction.
In effect, it was always open season on anyone daring to show support for republicans.
That’s exactly what’s happening in my AO. Tons of Trump signs in the AM on my way to work. 90%removed on my way home.
They are terrified.
This is exactly how it is in SoCal. Back in the 90s, it used to be safe to put out signs for Republican candidates in Orange County (between LA and San Diego, for non-Californians). Now, Orange County is so far gone, that I’m betting the signs are being stolen there too.
I have participated in numerous, spontaneous events for DJT in SoCal.
Finally made it in to his Coachella Rally.
He has a ton of support in this state
The government is corrupt as hell.

Are polls to be trusted at this point?
never to be trusted any more. we can vote and try to stop the steal.
Almost all polls have been complete frauds for at least the last 10 years. Trump has an insurmountable lead over Commiela and they only way he “loses” is via FRAUD.
Polls? Political public opinion polls have NEVER been trusted!!!
I trust you more because of the transparency of your question.
Trump takes polls at rallies. Rally attendees are transparent.
I don’t see a lot of interviews of attendees at jomala rallies.
When I have, they sound canned, inauthentic, and/or dull.
The transparency of the poll, may lend it credibility.

Poll: Election Fraud is a Major Issue for Americans 11/1/24
“Most Suspect Vote Fraud and Want PRISON Sentences”
Anyone who believes the polls AT ANY TIME should speak with “President Hillary Clinton” who had a 98% chance of winning in 2016. She was buried in the electoral college count.
Here in Oregon it looks like the usual vote folks in the country and away from the big cities voting very heavily Trump probably 90% Trump reliable report suggests vote is nearly tied at this point I am seriously concerned about potential cheating in this communist oriented state but miracles can happen.
13 Counties Approve Ballot Measures to Secede from Oregon, Join Idaho
“…the vote is not legislatively binding and just means residents want to inform the state and federal representatives that they support negotiations to annex part of Oregon.”
https://headlineusa.com/13-counties-approve-ballot-measures-to-secede-from-oregon-join-idaho/
Was a poll watcher in Corvallis OR in 2020. Couldn’t see a thing (computer screen), sat next to a kindly 70+ Democrat lady poll watcher who chatted away about the process. When the election ended at midnight she was frantic to get the print out to her “supervisor” so they wouldn’t get mad.
Our election supervisor(2020) acknowledged issue happening in a coastal county where Republican watchers were not being allowed at the count.
Notice Portland “found” 80K Kotek votes when Drazan started closing in.(22)
Oregon is 35% registered Democrat but manages to achieve legislative supermajorities.
Yes they cheat.
Watch the increase in Oregon Trump votes over 2020. That will outline the actual state of affairs.
The “Left Coast” is propaganda. Blue cities surrounded by red counties.
Ruby Red 2nd A sactuary County, in a Red 2A sanctuary State, where the AG is a Cartel lawyer.
As I believe earljy voting is one aspect of beating tbe cheat, was very pleased with the early vote in my county.
And the mood I got from just the 200 or so waiting in line; ALL MAGA, so very good; upbeat, eager to “get this party started”.
I’m in Chicago, northside. Zip code 60657. A very liberal majority of voters. It’s Chicago. At our early voting Ward site, the lines have been overwhelming. People waiting to vote and it’s 5:45 p.m. and they don’t get in,sign papers, and vote until it’s at least 7:30 p.m. This is rare. So much early voting in person. Enthusiasm? Or is it because of the disastrous election to replace Lori Lightfoot. Then we get someone far worse. Chicago is a nightmare. Really. Bottom line…heavy in person voting in the 44th Ward.
Did you happen to see my parents in line? They died decades ago, so you would easily recognize them. Weird that when alive they voted mostly Republican but in the afterlife became avid Democrats.
Well you did the vote early, will you do the vote often?
That gave me such a laugh! Thanks!
I left Chiraq in ‘19, 60611.
It was inconceivable anyone could be worse than Lightfoot, but there is.
The disaster wrought by a Harris Administration will be that of Brandon & Lightfoot to infinity and beyond.
Please post my comment. How long does it take????
‘Til one of the admins gets up to let you in! 😀
Like the government in D.C.
Thank you
It’s the 22-29 range we need to identify voting trends for.
If that groups is down, we’ll know Kamala is not only NOT pulling current college age voters, but that she lost prior college age voters.
Judge Orders Extension for Return of Absentee Ballots Mailed to Cobb County Voters This Week.
https://www.cobbcounty.org/communications/news/judge-orders-extension-return-absentee-ballots-mailed-cobb-county-voters-week
Same as to three other counties: Fulton, Dekalb, and Gwinnett.
That link gave a 404 – but I found the story elsewhere. It states it applies to only 3,200 ballots, that they must be postmarked by election day, and that they have to be received by the 8th. It’s due to delayed responses from the election office in providing the absentee ballots as requested (meaning there is a good chance they might lean red).
https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/cobb-county-judge-extends-absentee-ballot-deadline-amid-delays
Of note: It also says that effected voters can still vote in person on election day to ensure their vote is counted.
A Reuters article on the event also had the following statistics:
Over 3.8 million people have already cast their ballots in Georgia in early voting, accounting for more than half the state’s active voters, according to data from the Georgia secretary of state’s website. The tally includes more than 230,000 absentee voters.
Western Montana:
I switched to permanent absentee status this year so I could do my precinct committeeman and other activist duties more efficiently. Carried my sealed ballot into the elections office by hand and have tracked its successful acceptance. So far all but one of my “flock” have voted absentee and carried it in or early in person, that last one is going in Monday to vote early in person.
Trump winning in Montana really isn’t a question but there are a lot of down ballot races that are important, and still question marks, at least a little bit. Basic consensus among the state GOP party brains is “if we turn out, we win”.
Not seeing any incidents of violence or vandalism around here which is normal. The left are in an absolute TDS frenzy however, and are more active with signs, letter writing to the papers, etc. than I’ve ever seen. Little of it relates directly to Trump however. I think they understand they cannot change his victory in the state. What they’re focusing on is down ballot, trying to save that swine Tester in the Senate, a house race, State races and a few horrible initiatives to amend the state constitution. Two that would institute ranked choice voting, one that would codify full Marxist style government funded unlimited abortion on demand plus some tranny stuff into constitutional law.
I suspect but don’t know – that much of the campaigning on both sides is falling on deaf ears and people have already made up their minds and are just getting down to the task of the actual voting.
If there’s vandalism, it would be after a Trump victory when a few lefties snap. I’ll be talking off my bumper stickers and my signs down in the evening hours as the polls are about to close, I don’t 100% trust my reactions anymore to an attack on me or my property. I’m going more heavily armed than usual these days.
Wish I could help guard our local HQ overnight until a small army of volunteers shows up on Wednesday to strip it bare to the walls but can’t, I have important tasks starting early Wed. morning. I think a couple others may sit in there armed overnight with lights, cameras and guns. I’m not worried about corruption in our local county elections office.
We all join you in prayer that the dark filled Tester is booted from office and the other ballot issues go positively. Be sure your people have fire extinguishers that are staying over night. If the left goes berserk, arson is one of their favorite tools.
In NY. Voted by mail, which is nice, in that I can see my envelope was received by local board of elections, but naturally no way to know that it was, or will ever be, counted.
Also wrote my local rep and told him why I’d be voting for DJT but sitting out the NY-17 election this time around. Lawler wrote back with some copy-paste garbage addressing zero of my points, so I replied wishing him luck in the private sector. He’s a vote that couldn’t be counted on and won’t be missed if he loses.
Also, didn’t vote for any of the judges that appeared on both the R and D lines, which is a question for a different day … maybe local legend Seneca has some insight…
MAGA!
About the judges. If a conservative Republican Governor appointed them I vote yes to retain. If appointed by Dem I vote no. Not perfect but it’s a method with some validity.
Its not like Florida, where you vote yes or no. Its just like any other election where you pick someone… only, the person on the D line mysteriously has the same name as the candidate on the R line. Yeah, I’ll take a pass…
Can understand the distaste and frustration – but would remind that not voting in NY is effectively a vote for whomever the blob wants. For myself, if there isn’t enough information on the candidates to make a reasoned choice, in this day and age it becomes purely a vote against the Dem. While Rinos aren’t dependable to vote for the people’s best interests all the time, one knows that Dems vote lockstep with their masters and go 100% against the interest of the people.
I’m not going to take that as you saying I’m uninformed, even if that is what you were heavily implying. I’m tuned in and very informed.
If you’re talking about the judges, maybe I wasn’t clear, but the same people running as Democrat were running as repub. Again, not sure what that is about and am hoping someone can shed some light.
Now, if you were referring to my Lawler (non)vote, it was for multiple reasons that I clearly expressed to him… won’t waste my time writing them out here… only to have one of his staffers send me a copy paste about something that wasn’t related to any even single one of the points that I made. I hope he loses, and pray that someone who actually has my best interests at heart runs in ’24. Maybe me, who knows…
Had absolutely zero intent to indicate you are uninformed – simply offered a different perspective than your own. It’s what most Americans used to do, discuss things and share viewpoints with one another with the full realization that none of us has all the answers or even some of the best ones, but that if we strive together we might reach a better place.
Yes, I caught the judge thing – which in most states would be illegal if they are in fact the same people (which I have no reason to doubt they are, so don’t take that the wrong way as well – simply being precise regarding the illegality).
ps. As far as Lawler, just a different perspective. Even if my local congressional rep allowed their staffer to screen and answer all of the correspondents from those they represented and they responded with a nonsensical form letter, the general election would NOT be the point in time I would try to do something about it – that is what primaries are for. The very last thing I would want to do is aid in electing the person’s opponent, who is guaranteed to help bring about the destruction of my nation and her people. Full stop.
I also look to see what organizations (ie. County Democrat clubs or other groups aligned with the DemocRat party) have given endorsements to a candidate. If I see that the candidate is endorsed by a Democrat club, I vote against him/her.
Mid State Northern Minnesota, Small town i’m in is only doing mail in ballots as a cost cutting measure for the town. Heavy Trump presence here. School board candidates are hot topic. Who will reject Tim Walz’s new school curriculum?
Spoke with a gal i’ve voted for in the past, she was running for county commissioner position and failed. Now a candidate for school board. Had a very nice discussion about the other candidates. None of the candidates are actually campaigning for the positions and i dodn’t know them. It’s like a popularity contest. Were able to vote for up to 3 candidates and i feel confident that i have voted for 3 very Conservative people.
Small town I’m in is only doing mail in ballots as a cost cutting measure for the town.
This concerns me. I would hate to have mail in ballots become the norm in this country. Look at Washington State. I never want to be forced to give up my right to walk into my polling place on election day and vote in person.
Agree 100%
I have to agree with that too!
We literally moved away from that beautiful state because of that.
I had lived there most of my adult life.
I voted early in CT on day 1- last Monday.
I don’t have much to report but I can share an anecdotal moment from yesterday.
My 23 year old son visited to watch our beloved Buckeyes play the Nittany Lions. He had 5 friends join him. All young men, now 23/24, that I have know since they were little boys. Voting came up. All said they are going to vote but were not aware of early voting when I said I already did. I didn’t want to indtrude on who they were going to vote for but I didn’t have to because a Kamala Harris commercial came on and I went to automatic mode and shouted “STFU you lying B@#&H! You just lie and are a fraud!” Every single one of those boys chimed in and agreed, all said they were voting for Trump because they need a future. One said he can’t believe anyone would vote for her.
It was refreshing.
You react to Kackmala commercials exactly the same way I do!
i hit mute put my head down or walk away … i cant stand her lies.
I do not understand how these dems can get away with repeating the same lies over and over again in their ads, even after the lie has been debunked many times over. Like, Kamala and Tampon Timmy keep saying Trump will have a national abortion ban, or that he called fallen soldiers suckers and losers and on and on. He has been sued, successfully I might add, for defamation. Wish he could sue them for defamation.
I love your automatic mode! I do the same, albeit usually silently.
I live in a very conservative area in Florida – I’ve never had to wait so long to vote. Florida is going to go Trump, but the numbers should be fantastic based on my experience and those of family in other parts of the state!
I live in Pasco County, FL. I was reluctant to vote early, but almost went to do it yesterday because of possible shenanigans that might happen on election day. Who knows what a desperate DemocRat party is capable of doing. I prefer “one day” elections so I decided to vote for President Trump on election day.
Voted earlier this week and the line was quite long (Bexar County), Heavy Dem presence with signs and activist/communists working the outside of the barrier (must stay 100ft from polling center). First thing I noticed was all of the signs plastered around the polling center were Dem. There was not a single Trump sign or mention of the man to be seen (disgusting)…..
Fortunately, my wife went to work (lol) walking up and down the line (we waited an hour in line) and she struck up conversations with the other people waiting. When she ran across a communist (god help them) she started working them hard. Long story short, at the end of our wait time, I’m pretty damn sure she had some converts to MAGA!
I should have saved the poor bastards the time of day and just said look, I’ve been married to this woman for 42 years and if she says “You’re Wrong” well then “You’re Wrong”, might as well just do what she says! lol……
God, I love this woman!
Anyway, we cast our MAGA vote (except for Chip Roy, may he rot in hell), I figure it’s easier to get rid of a Dem or Independent next time than it is to get rid of this RINO.
Happy Voting Treepers and God Bless You All & President Trump & The USA!!!!!!!
Good for her.
As bad as Roy is, he’s still head and shoulders above the Dem and PDJT needs every non-Democrat he can get to help pass the legislation needed to right this country. A Dem will go 100% with the party line and against PDJT.
@H, you replied to my similar post on Lawler(NY-17) above and I answered you assuming good faith, but now its clear you are the type happy to let a cancer fester rather than ridding yourself of it. I hope you come around
No, I remove cancer during the primaries and actually do more than simply vote against them in said primary.
I sure as heck don’t withhold my vote for cancer in order to take a shotgun to the head. The first may be treatable or eliminated in a few years – whereas the latter is terminal.
No, I won’t ever “come around” to helping elect those who would destroy this nation and whom implement policies which lead to the mutilation of children, the murder of babies, the rape and murder of our children by illegal aliens, or a long litany of other things that their is zero doubt Democrats do and in Congress they almost always toe their leader’s line.
Yes Chip Roy never gets my vote, such a fraud. I don’t think he even had an opponent did he? Anyway I hope he gets the boot soon. Such a waste and everyone outside TX esp believes he is God’s gift. Insert huge eye roll here.
Long lines in Comal County too, waited 90 minutes day 1 of early voting. As I drive by our poling places I keep seeing long lines but unlike Bexar, Comal is Trump country. You meet the most interesting people in line when you go in person to vote.
Not everyone outside Texas believes that, you can be sure.
yes lucky for me, we were redistricted with Wesley Hunt instead of Liz Cheny’s sister Dan Crenshaw, so of course voted willingly for Wes. I wouldn’t vote for Roy if he was in mine either!
I’m sure it has been said many times but voting early concerns me…Just lets the dems know how many ballots to print and truck into the counting centers
For the most part I agree with you – however there are numerous locations that the Dems control the voting infrastructure whereby they are intentionally under staffing, under balloting, and drastically slowing down the process such that if everyone went on election day the lines would take days to get through the process (PA is an example of that, where they are going well into the night just for the one day’s worth of early voters). For everyone voting on election day, start early, taking water and snacks – if needed a fold-up chair – and be prepared for it to take all day.
Sundance… I do not understand your comment about younger voters 18-25 age range, and how their much lower numbers voting early went from 70% in 2020, and now it is 8%. You are saying it is a good thing, and that if that be the case Harris’ is done. Could you explain this for me.
Don’t want to speak for Sundance, but generally that age group votes more dem than GOP.
Churchill said something like, “if you’re in your 20s and vote conservative, you have no heart. If you’re in your 40s and vote liberal you have no brain.”
Don’t know what Sundance was thinking – but my take is that the 18-25 age group went heavily for Brandon last election and are often brainwashed in school and thus more likely to vote for Harris.
That said, based on those I know and the discussions I’ve seen online, there has been a quite significant shift and many will now be going for PDJT in that group – thus I’m not as enamored with the low numbers.
My concern they can use that demographic for fake ballots in massive numbers for Kamala.
This Iowa poll to me is a red herring this is how they stole Georgia where no one was looking.
All eyes on swing states so they go for a state they than can say oh Latinos or they voted for RFK Jr. and since it was close Kamala won.
These operatives always have to be a step ahead or more.
The election process is a joke.
Still should vote but Devine intervention or 4 years won’t hurt them too much, is the only way I believe President Trump prevails.
That said I believe President Trump has 80 percent of the vote nation wide.
I know make fun of me maybe I have “Kamala Derangement Syndrome”.
Honestly despise her and can’t believe people would actually go and vote for Kamala, besides the AOC fringe, worst than her types.
The Kamala voters I know are voting for her based on her lies about PDJT. One woman I know said if he wins he will void her same-sex marriage. Another believes the lies about the Immigration bill Trump supposedly killed in Congress and that he never built any wall at all., Trying to convince these dems is like talking to a brick wall.,
maybe with high early voter turnout as well as ED voters, we can confound the D guesses?
Covid lockdown – that age group was sent home from college campuses and living w parents. My guess is the parents either dragged them to vote or ordered their mail in ballot. Just my guess. Had a kid home from college in ’20.
Think of it this way. They don’t seem to be interested in voting this go around. Enthusiasm wins fair elections. In the scenario that was mentioned here, the younger voters would need to show up on election day in large numbers (to make up their low turnout for early voting) in order for Harris to have a chance of winning (assuming that they would even vote for her).
Deep red county in SC. The main early voting place is right down the street and it’s been very busy all week. I will be voting on election day. We do have a few Kamala signs among the Trump ones. I assume to be the yuppy liberal types. Our county is seeing so much growth so not sure who all is moving in. I have noticed more rougher characters walking down the street the last couple years. I try to not judge but the houses in this specific area what I would call middle class and I’m not sure how some of these people afford to live here but have no car. I’m betting that there is some housing subsidization going on to bring diversity to our red area.. still no doubt we will go for Trump though.
Next door though is a blue county part of clyburns district. Can’t give any analysis because I don’t go there unless absolutely needed but it will surely be blue..
I need to check with my mom in rural GA. She’s casting or already casted her first ever vote in an election. Sister and her husband and his parents are also voting Trump after voting Biden/third party in 2020. So there’s 5 votes for Trump in GA that weren’t there before!
Hubby and I moved to Lancaster co. in March. We voted for Trump last Wednesday as well as in 2020 and 2016.
I don’t get out much, (Eastern NC) but had a 4 day weekend, so went to 2 different Festivals, one about 35 miles away. I was shocked at the number of Trump signs, and even more so at the number of Trump flags, some huge, flying on flagpoles right below the US Flag, all along that 35 mile drive. Likewise at the festivals, many were wearing Trump garb. I only saw a handful of Harris signs. Hopefully it means something positive is happening.
Voted last Friday in a small midlands SC town. Mainly drive-thru voters and went smoothly. Not sure though about all this early voting-seems like it just gives Dems more of a heads up on how many ballots they need to fabricate but also keeps voting day from being a total mess.
In SC, with the motor voter registration, suspect there will be a lot of illegal ballots. The one thing SC does have is a great address verification system that precludes ballots being sent to warehouses, offices, etc.. The drive-thru voter aspect sounds a bit dicey to me – anyone’s hands on the ballot that aren’t mine is a chance for it to disappear.
My very strong, intelligent and beautiful wife & I voted last Thursday. Wife votes exactly how I vote. Not because I make her, but because she’s smart! Haha.
We voted in the nation’s oldest city, which is in a red county of FL.
After reading about so many EV horror stories elsewhere, I almost feel guilty to say we were in and out in about 4 min. Go Trump!
Was in and out in 10 min in Louisville. Have relatives in outlying counties who said lines were 2-3 hours long. Only issue is one of my kids who works out of town ordered absentee ballot that never came, travelled back this weekend to vote and then was refused when she showed up at the polling place. Was told to call the board of elections who said she could come down and make her case before the election board or they would mail her another one out. Provisional was not an offering. One election official told me that they had several people come in and try to vote and were told that an absentee ballot had already been sent to them. State is no worry for Trump but the largest city is a dim cesspool.
Urban trends blue, rural trends ruby red – possibly the reason for the discrepancy in the efficiency of the voting centers (attempted voter suppression of red – as is happening in PA). Then again, it could be that the blue turnout is going to be very low!
…and in addition to voting, getting others to vote, watching out for and reporting suspected fraud THE most important thing we can all do is pray without ceasing, that God might once again grace this nation of ours and push out much of the darkness that has spread over the years. His will be done.
Miami Dade County – yard signs everywhere , flags flying on vehicles, people standing on intersections with flags, flags on boats. Only seeing a few sporadic Harris signs. Miami is trump country from what I see. Of course some that still won’t take the red pill, but many JFK dems, Southern Dems types have made the change this cycle.
And those of Cuban heritage or refugees from Communist Cuba: they know Communism is evil!
Denton County TX, 53% for Trump in 2020 and 45% for Biden. There were dozens, perhaps hundreds of yard signs in and around my neighborhood in 2020, mostly for Trump but still quite a few for Biden. This year, I’ve seen maybe 10-12 signs total, again with most of those for Trump but a few for Harris. The only reason I can think of for the monumental drop-off in home owners not proclaiming their preferred candidate via lawn signage is that they don’t want to identify themselves as potential targets for any form of retribution from a next door or across the street neighbor whether its being yelled at, home vandalism or hands on physical violence directed against them via face to face confrontation over the election results. The handful who are rockin’ a Harris sign imo are either low information Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) voters and/or full on communist ideology adherents. I think the TDS inflicted are the likeliest ones to target a neighbor who displayed a Trump sign because most of them are so far gone mentally that when Trump is declared winner they will think their neighbor helped to elect the 2nd coming of Hitler and that will justify any action towards them. These people are crazy. Do not forget that some of these lunatics were drawing guns on other people in stores 4 years ago over not wearing a stupid mask.
About political signs:
I am in Fairfax County, VA and don’t see a lot of political signs either way. When I drive out to Fauquier County on jobs, I occasionally go along Route 17, where there are small farms and wineries. There are huge signs for Trump/Vance and one very large one for Hung Cao. They are clearly campaign signs. There are also signs for Harris/Walz, one of which is clearly a homemade job. There is also, oddly, a big sign for Tim Kaine at one of the farms. There’s not a lot of signage and I would say it is about 50/50 out there. On a side note, I am still fairly new to this state and first heard about Hung Cao because of one farm along 17 that had a sign out for him. It was well before the Virginia primary got into full swing. Cao has some serious fans out there.
Trump Ablemarle is in wine country and is largest VA vineyard. You need to come to soutnern VA to learn the rest of the stare. Hung Cai has a huge following all over state, as he should.
I want to get further south. Fairfax County is like California without the nice weather. But we’re up here for a bit because we have jobs here and my girlfriend’s elderly parents are in Annandale. Eventually, we will work our way down. Already like what I have seen in the area above Richmond (though the city itself is a disaster). I was amazed at Hung Cao’s following. He spoke well at the VA rally yesterday. Of course, my vote for him is already in, and, if I were a dead Democrat, I’d vote for him again.
I voted early, mostly to get the spammers and beggars off my back (it didn’t work). I have no data on voter turnout, but my own (very) unscientific surveys in this most-blue of blue Virginia has me counting yard signs as I walk daily around the neighborhood. Surprising that the the Trump signs often outnumber the Harris signs. In this area, that’s astounding!
Lol i had to text ‘stop’ to the Trump texts, it was relentless. The emails i can deal with til’ Tuesday, I suspect he can make more money for his campaign the more people on his mailing list.
Meanwhile in Pennsylvania…
LAST MONTH, AMISH REGISTERED 128,000 NEW VOTERS and ALL OF THESE NEW VOTERS ARE VOTING FOR TRUMP!!
JUST NOW THEY TOPPED THAT TO 180,000 NEW VOTERS ALL VOTING FOR TRUMP!!
I would note that there significant groups of Amish in multiple states.
Amish need to enter the fray to protect their freedom! We welcome them with open arms.
and there are many traveling to NC to build tiny homes to help with homeless folks with upcoming winter
I think the state with the next largest Amish population is Ohio.
Pennsylvania and Ohio are close in numbers. Next is Indiana. They are also spread out in 11 other states to varying degrees, from single settlement areas to several dozen.
This irruption of Amish voters is a canary / coal mine signal of a coming Trump landslide. There is nothing about Harris or Democrat policy that would be attractive enough to inspire a very stable self-isolating group to suddenly become politically active. Rather the Amish are uncharacteristically pissed off about the direction of the country and they feel compelled to take the extreme measure -by their standard- of voting.
I think the governments intrusion in to our body, the Jab, lit a fire under the Amish.
Agree. The concept is easily observed with the Amish, but applies to a larger part of our population.
No is their ability to farm and FDA regulations
plus gov’s intrusion on their farming and methods as shown against Amos Miller for selling organic product without their “approval”
The Amish have chosen a side after the Kamala Harris Admin raided Amos Miller Organic Milk Farm
And that side is Freedom, Deregulation and Donald Trump.
2020: 45-50K Amish registered to vote (video)
Now in 2024: 200K+ voter registrations
Again – note that number is across multiple states.
The fact they are allowing the witch to delay till mid day Monday (meaning no chance of early voting and the potential to delay even further) is atrocious. The judge must guarantee these people are allowed to vote, regardless of the situation. This also re-emphasizes that everyone should verify their registration is active prior to when one goes to vote.
Mt Pleasant, SC – an immediate suburb of Charleston. I’m voting on Election Day and it really frustrates me how we went from voting as a nation on one day and knowing the results that night to this months long carnival.
However, we’re an affluent area and absolutely have lots of the screechy white female leftist types that will vote for whomever the D party tells them. While Mt Pleasant will vote majority Trump, Charleston County was D in 2016 and 2020. Maybe there will be a surprise. This is SC-01 Nancy Mace so, while I’ve got my issues with her, we can hopefully retain her since her district stretches into neighboring counties.
My neighborhood of about 100 homes mostly has zero political signs. Of the handful that are up, many are only for local candidates. For POTUS it’s like 5 Trump (one of which is mine) to 4 Harris.
SC is safely red despite a huge influx of PA, NJ, NY, MA refugees. They seem to be majority Republican.
Boob tube news in Pittsburgh is reporting lots of early voting and making accommodations not expected because so many . And Kamal crew taking down stages for an event she had planned for Point State park on Monday! New location unknown!! So she canceled her rally the day before but no new location?!! Trump will be up the street at PPG Paints Arena! Nobody would be at her rally !!
Mid NH. Just saw that Lily Tang Williams took Maggie Goodlander to the woodshed over her standard “blame the rich” talking points. Go Tiger Mom! Lily has actually lived under Communist rule and takes apart those who speak the “wooden language” of Marx. It is a beautiful thing.

There are many Goodlander signs around my area, as he wealthy professorate are insulated from their bad judgement — so far. Goodlander is not advertising that she was a beltway bandit until February of this year, moving back in an attempt to steal representation from the Granite state. She is also the wife of Jake Sullivan, the current Middle East arsonist and National Security advisor to the Biden/Harris/Obama regime.
first day early voting in northern Ky….waited in line for 93 minutes……it was worth every second……
800K more R’s than D’s have already voted in FL. In Hillsborough County where the R’s have substantially reduced the gap between R’s and D’s, there are almost 10K more R’s already voted than D’s. In Pinellas County where R’s have a slight advantage over D’s, over 13K more R’s have already voted than D’s. 30K more R’s than D’s have voted in Miami-Dade County. FL R’s swamping D’s in EV.
I’m a school bus driver and on the way back to the bus barn at days end, I pulled over to vote in a 80% Dem/ 20% Rep precinct in the affluent and very liberal Township for which I pick up students.
It was about 4pm and there were probably 12-16 people in line. It was a gorgeous sunny day.
Standing in line adjacent to me were liberals. One said they disowned all their MAGA friends.
I commented my best friend since 4th grade is diametrically opposed to me politically but we refuse to let political differences get between us (It’s been increasingly hard). The other liberal shared she has a MAGA friend and they refuse to let political differences get between them.
The line moved pretty swiftly.
When signing my name I just scribbled it testing to see if they’d ask to see my DL. Nope. I was also wearing my Township employee ID.
When I left the building there were twice as many people in line.
Love living in the land of one area code where my TRUMP sign has stood steadfast for over a month😎
League City, TX (midway between Houston & Galveston on I-45)
Voted mid-day Wed. No lines, no waiting, no fraud. Mostly Republican despite being in Galveston County where D’s show stronger locally than state or nation wide.
Friday night, local Walmart grocery HAD NO CASH. One cashier said “something’s broken.” Another said “it’s the election, something bad coming, same thing everywhere at HEB and Kroger.” Did not confirm. Will do so later today/Sunday. One register with bills to provide change. Less than a dollar’s worth of coins. Don’t know if that’s conservatives stocking up for the election day and post-election chaos or what. Shelves look stocked.
Mr Momma and I voted by absentee to vote early. There’s one location for the entire county (Madison). We hand delivered the ballot as I have zero confidence in the post office. There were 3 different spots with picking up an application for absentee voting. Another for registration to vote and another for actual voting or, like us returning a ballot. I was glad to see our envelopes were date stamped but the handing out of applications to vote was Willy Nilly. The voting official was on the ballot. Not sure she deserves my vote.
I know anecdotal instances are not proof of fact but I was driving around yesterday in Richboro, PA…Bucks County. Trump signs are at least 8 to 1 over Harris signs. My office mate who is not a Trump fan is voting for Trump because Harris is that bad. Don’t accept the BS from Democrats that PA is close. My gut feeling is Trump is further ahead than the fake polls say. We must all go out and vote on Election Day. No excuses especially since the Dems will cheat. Overwhelm the cheating.
Before I relate anything, I must reiterate: VOTE, VOTE, VOTE. And bring a carload of Trump voters with you when you do so.
Nothing good will result unless the landslide turnout runs through Tuesday. The race can otherwise still be stolen, and they are going to try like heck to do so. And continue to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT whenever you smell the slightest fraud or tricks. The detection and response has been terrific so far, dramatically better than in 2020 or 2016. Early voting itself has made cheating dramatically more difficult.
But you cannot let up, especially in the key swing states. If people let up at all, they will steal it. Keep pouring it on.
And most of all, PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. That bullet was the backup plan. Our prayers, and God’s mercy, foiled it.
Now they are on Plan C. And they used that plan already in 2020, so people are on to it this time. They weren’t planning to use it again in 2024.
Ignore all the polling, betting indices and media from here on out. It is a full-bore vote suppression operation now. It is all astroturf and psyops to dampen turnout. They are just throwing money in every possible direction right now to alter the trajectory.
…
Now I will tell you what I am hearing from a couple sources in the Beltway. Many are anticipating, and absolutely dreading, a Trump victory on November 5. And many are polishing their resumes, and are exploring outside job opportunities, as fast as possible. They want to abandon the ship of their agency or department before its funding (or existence) is sunk. Fleeing like rats.
This includes inside sources in the government-funded media complex there, where a rigid alternate reality of lies is shattering, and where I’m told the mood is complete hysteria, especially among the younger staffers who bought the fake official narrative hook, line and sinker. They honestly believe a fascist dictatorship is now descending upon them.
One has described Trump as a “force of nature’ at this point. And an unstoppable one. And they hate him, and us, for invading their comfortable thing there. The smug confidence of 2020 is completely gone. They just can’t believe it. He was supposed to be gone by now.
They wouldn’t think any of this if he weren’t rolling it up. And they didn’t think like this in 2020. 2016 was a lightning bolt result; they barely had time to prepare for it. This time is different. This one has been a gigantic tsunami, and it has been methodically rolling over all the breakers they have erected. This one has been coming in almost slow-motion there since Spring. And now it is approaching the last seawall.
The word is around town there. And that word is fear. And panic. The boarding up around DC is underway.
It’s not going to end on Election Night, so don’t get too comfortable. In fact, if the landslide pace lets up, they could still steal it at the very end. Be prepared for a long war ahead. Even an Election Day win is a mere beach head for what still needs to be done. While many are preparing to exit, many cannot. And they will not give up gracefully.
God bless patriots!

God bless our president! 🦁👑

another report from my sister in Chesterfield County, VA
The early voting location was at the library near the courthouse on Lucy Corr drive. They said it’s been packed every day with people voting early.
That’s great news.
An acquaintance in Massachusetts hid her vote for Trump from her family and friends in 2020. Her husband despised Trump. Now her husband and son are enthusiastic Trump voters! That’s two more votes in blue Massachusetts for Trump!
The data on the youth vote is interesting…and a bit concerning. Turning Point USA has been doing a lot of work with that group; many of them are pro-Palestinian and unhappy with both candidates on that issue, but the group is also very subject to manipulation. Are they just deciding to not vote and gearing up for the protests sure to follow the election, or are they planning a “youth wave” on election day?
Thoughts, anyone.
Fairfax County, VA – by a Baptist Evangelical Church with a freaking rainbow flag (WTF???) — A small sign saying “STOP AGENDA 2025”. Clearly related to Kamala but probably put up by a different org. First one I have seen.
Also – thoughts:
Women – Kamala is counting on Dobbs bringing out abortion supporters. However, abortion is now back in the states – no longer a Federal issue. If a Dem female is in a “safe” state (like California) she might be less inclined to get out and vote. it is the LGBT folks who have to fear if a more conservative SCOTUS revisits Obergefell. Women being used again.Youth vote: In 2020, the 18-22 year olds were attending college online, often at home in their home districts. Easy to send ballots, easy for the students to vote and return them. This year, the 18-22 year-olds are away at school, and they have to remember to order a mail-in ballot.Students who were 18=22 four years ago are now out of college and are trying to find work, which is incredibly difficult under this economy. This might lower enthusiasm.

West Anaheim California Follow up Sunday Nov 3….
Local Orange County Vote Center opened yesterday for in-person voting and ballot drop off. Very little attendance at 1:30pm PST Sunday Nov 3 with 3 cars in lot. Very little activity yesterday.
My family voted early Oct 13 via drop box. Orange County texted our votes received and counted Oct 15.
Anaheim has total 17 Orange County Vote Centers open and 12 Orange County drop boxes placed in Anaheim in since Oct 7.
West Anaheim District is 2 to 1 registered Dems to Reps. California is 100% mail-in Ballot starting October 7.
Voted today after church in Florida. Line was about 45 minutes long and it did not decrease in size even as we moved through it. Talked to sister and she voted today as well.
Most of the folks in line seemed to be of decent sorts and many were supporters of President Trump. A few stood out concerning their garb.
I’m in far western KY, James Comer’s district. Dark red R plus 23 district. Early voting has been very heavy every day. Even in Trump country people are voting en masse! Let’s Goooooo!!!
