2:00pm ET Discussion Thread:
Today is election day in America. Today is all about execution. Today is about voting.
Now is the moment to stop accepting the things we cannot change, and start changing the things we cannot accept!
Historically, we have been able to gauge the enthusiasm with ground reports by you as you vote in your local precinct. Today we do the same, only this time I can tell you with utmost certainty, the eyes of many around the world are watching closely. This is the BIG ONE. Wherever you are, in whatever state or region you are voting, YOUR VOICE MATTERS.
Do not be complacent; tune out the noise, run through the finish line. Don’t be distracted by obstacles or hurdles you may encounter. Resolve to the task at hand. The lines are long at many polling precincts. Stay in line! NO QUIT!
Today, we do what we know needs to be done, and we will end the day knowing we have done everything possible to deserve victory. Offer assistance to those who may need help getting to the polls. Do WHATEVER IT TAKES to respond to Benjamin Franklin’s prose and keep our republic intact.
Our leader has done all he can to bring us toward victory. Now, it’s up to us.
What are you seeing and hearing in your city, town or neighborhood?
How is the turnout in your area? What is the mood of the electorate, your friends, your neighbors?

🚨New: Fox News John Roberts said Harris needs to have 700,000 votes in Philadelphia in order to pull out the win in Pennsylvania.
In 2016 Clinton got 560,542 votes
In 2020 Biden got 603,790 votes.
It will require more than that.
The turnout outside the ring Philly counties has been epic today.
I’m working the polls in Wayne County PA, heavy Trump district, turnout FAR exceeds 2016 and 2020. More young voters than ever, vast majority Republican.
James Clyburn: “hold my beer”
Right
Most votes EVER by a President!!!!
That implies they know all the numbers statewide while voting continues. Truly, pisses me off and sends Philly the exact info they need.
Fox strikes again.
Exactly!! FAUX News keeps trying to pretend they are “fair and balanced” but they have their thumb on the scale more than CNN, in my opinion! Why anyone watches them is beyond me but I know SO many people who still do – and hang on their every word!
The 700K was the Dem target and known to be long prior to today.
Every ‘registered’ voter will submit a ballot. Gets them the 700k. 100% turnout all D. No one will believe it but they’ll do it anyway.
It’s not like we haven’t seen them do it before but I still want every single person that can vote to get out and vote.
Make them make is as egregious as possible.
Absolutely, I know they will cheat but banked our votes for PDJT 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately not in PA.
There are only about 700,000 registered voters in Philly. So they are all going to vote Democrat, after 130,000 of them voted for Trump in 2020? These people are sick.
Remember the sign up party for illegals in Philly, right across from the voting center, exposed by James O’Keefe earlier today. Used an “IN” number or some BS to register, then the POS at the voting center admitted he would accept that even if they were not US citizens.
VOTE PEOPLE, AND DON’T QUIT, DON’T LEAVE THE LINE!
Denver metro area, CO reports of temporary outages of printers/tablets. In a normal time not enough to raise concerns, but on November 5, 2024?! You had one job, on one day – why malfunctions? I suspect it’s a reason to either download something, plug something into something, or swap for a new machine which hasn’t been checked out at all. As explained here: https://nitter.poast.org/RyanMattaMedia/status/1852322171265204681#m
Turnout seems high, but I’ve only worked primaries before so am not sure this is unusual for a presidential election. People in line near me mostly quiet and looking around a bit suspiciously. Based on demographics I think mostly Trump voters who suspect everyone around them of being Kamala voters!
Then there were the two women in masks and green hair and wokish clothing who walked by to get videos from the children’s section of the library (they didn’t exactly look like motherly types, but I couldn’t see anything else they would have been doing there.)

YOU MEAN YOU’RE FLEEING THE COUNTRY !!
The 4 letter words are unnecessary.
Amen!
Prayers and not low-class cursing are needed today!
That’s James Comey! He posted the photo himself. So the four letter word is appropriate.
He is so unbelievably full of himself
Here we go….can we just accept our own team. We want LESS government control. Nobody needs the speech police.
MAGA
And some times, just sometimes, there is only one word that applies and well, this is it.
This is war. People involved with war use foul language. Period.
You!!
God willing!
I’ll pack you lunch!💁🏻♀️
Yes, this is my truck. Yes, I will help you move.
We can only hope…
Actually, when President Trump wins we are rescinding your citizenship and deporting you.
No. Investigate, accuse, try in court, sentence, and don’t allow them to ever infect anywhere else, nor continue their lawleas effort
Sorry. A twitchy finger hit the post button too quckly.
“…nor continue their lawless efforts against Us — We the People — and our Constitutional Republic from afar.
I will drive them to the airport…

Upstate western NY. Very high turn out about double the normal. Way more Trump signs than 2016/2020, very few Harry Balz signs (about 10% of what was up in 2020). No problems voting.
1st time poster. Just voted in Upstate South Carolina. Good crowd, but moved along. No issues. I voted for Trump.
Welcome to the Treehouse Thopper! 😀
Welcome to the best little corner on the internet, where we are like family. I can personally attest, most of the people here, truly care about each other. The support Ive gotten in lifes tough times, has been enough to make me cry, many times, when I was ready to give up. The people here are salt of the earth Thop. You will see that, everyday.
Their words have mattered to me, a lot, especially 2 years ago, and the last 5 months.
This is a place where truth and facts, destroy feelings and nonsense. You are in good company!!
welcome and Thank YOU!
Thanks Thopper, if we overcome the Cheating it’ll be because the young people came to the rescue!
Howdy!
Curious about Granite State ground reports, I turned to the Grok:
Malfunctioning voting machines in the Republican majority town of Belmont:

This morning in Ohio, long lines, no place to park….,I parked in the field! Got in line…..lady came out and said one of the scanners was down. Two “poll workers” came out with a box and said to put our ballots in the box and they will be counted later. Or we could stand in line and wait for the scanners to catch up. Probably a hundred voters….all but two or three stood in line! The poll workers caught all kinds of grief on their way back inside! Success! MAGA!!
STAND!
MAGAAAA!!!
Gotta say, I’m quite proud of the voters I stood with! My Grandson , who is a Paratrooper stationed in Alaska, didn’t get an absentee ballot, so i told him I’ll vote for him! However, when leaving , the guy wanted to give me an “I Voted” sticker but I refused. He was not happy and I’m glad! May the Good Lord watch over our Country and May HE please protect PRESIDENT Donald J Trump! MAGA!!!
I am amazed that the poll workers would try something that stupid.
Me too. But the lady said they were “bipartisan”. LOL!!
and THAT’s how we win an election!! 🇺🇸 well done!
Boise, ID: I went outside for a walk to my voting station to see if there were any lines. (I early-voted in person on 15 October).
At a residential intersection most everyone had to pass to get to the voting place, stood a single girl wearing a red MAGA hat and wearing a Trump sweatshirt. I stopped to say I like her hat and sweatshirt, and struck up a conversation. She was 14, and though she couldn’t vote, she and her friends decided to find a way to have an impact on voters who would have so much to say about the future they would have. So, they found intersections near voting places (bout outside the perimeter so they wouldn’t violate electioneering to close to a polling place laws) and lingered, wear Trump apparel. Later, they plan to go to downtown Boise (very blue) with an adult and walk the streets with their MAGA gear. They have done this before, always with a male adult to protect them, just in case. No incidents so far.
She was polite, articulate, and passionate. I was so impressed. She said she and her friends have been wearing their Trump apparel to school every day for months, saying school officials are not allowed to stop them.
Hey, Mark Cuban: I just met someone from the next up-and-coming generation of intelligent women–and they are MAGA conservatives!
Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful young woman and her friends. I have no qualms passing the MAGA torch to them when my turn comes to exit stage left.
I love election day! Worked five hours as a greeter handing out voter guides.
Our precinct in NC has over 8000 voters. 65% had voted prior to the polls opening today. By the time I left we had almost 900 voters. I would guess 60 percent Rep
And 40 dem voting in person.
It may be a record turnout for our precinct.
Things look pretty good from my view.
✊️✊️✊️
Just voted in Hillsdale, NY and barely anyone there. Just win baby…..
Checking in from a rainy North Minneapolis precinct. Working as GOP challenger vs regular poll worker this cycle…
2000 registered voters in precinct. 500 early votes. 580 across the tabulator thru 4pm central time. Many new voters. Civic engagement high. Will update towards the close. Hoping these voters have asked themselves if they are better off now or 4 years ago (2019, really…)
MAGA
Raised in the Twin Cities…even way back then it was insanely liberal. Encouraging to hear about the new voters.
Yesterday someone tried to “pull the goalie” in the betting markets as it fell to Trump +5 from Trump +25 in just 3 days. Today, it’s back up to Trump +17 in just 1 day. Everything is manipulated in this election. Trust no one!
this is by far, the highest turnout I have ever seen for an election
in my parts (central Jersey) and I vote in all of them.
But yet by all accounts, the vote totals this year will not come close to 2020 totals…. Strange.
2020 was an aberration. It was a turnout you get when people are locked in their homes with nothing to do but fill out a ballot and drop it in a box.
That being said, I think Democrats have a LOT of good reasons to just stay home today. They can vote with their seat.
Can they vote with their seat when that’s what they think with??
NE Florida. My county is mostly red. I worked as a poll watcher the first half of today. I was surprised at how busy it was, after the long lines and heavy turn-out for early voting. There was a steady line the entire time I was there… steady and moving (but not wrapped around the building kind of busy)
I was in an area that has a mixed bag of Dems vs Repubs… too many transplants from other areas of the country along with some beach hippies – so it is no longer ‘southern Georgia’, like is used to be.
It seemed like more men than women were voting, although the difference wasn’t huge. The poll worker would yell out when there was a ‘first time voter’ and everyone would cheer. Most of the first timers were young men. Some were with their parents. I just pray they voted responsibly with good knowledge and not how I think the young lady, also a first time voter, with ‘Control Guns, Not Girls’ on her shirt. These young women are brainwashed.. bad brainwashed.
There was a fake bomb threat in the more urban area of the adjacent county; local news reported that they moved the machines outside and kept voting until the area was cleared.
All-in-all, it’s been busy and peaceful to the best of my knowledge. I don’t think they shenanigans happen at the poll. I think they happen with the registration and ballots, as local canvassing two years ago revealed.
Election week begins tonight. Counting a bunch of phony ballots. No black pill but I can’t pretend with all that we know.
Hang in there brother.
T minus 15 minutes I am headed out the door and to city hall to vote.
so many of us were looking forward to this day, right! And there are only a few more hours until the polling ends (sort of …except for dem cheating).
I was counting down the months, then days, until today! It is like Christmas Day, before the presents are opened. I’m hoping the Dems get coal, and we get the good presents. 🙂
Just got out of work.
Time to vote.
Let’s Roll!
Wolverines!!!
“KULOW: I don’t think the pollsters can count the expansion of President Trump’s working class coalition.”….
FWIW.
STAY IN LINE !! THIS OUR MOMENT TO SAVE THE COUNTRY !!
With this much on the line, I can’t imagine thinking I’ll just swing by after work on voting day. So much could go wrong.
NE Ohio (45 minutes south Cleveland).
As we have for the past 8 years my husband and I took the kids (8 and 6 year olds) to vote with us. We live in a very small country town (1 stop light) and it took us about 45 minutes to get in to vote.
Straight red ticket from the both of us.
No issues voting.
I asked the kids who they voted for (in their heads) and the oldest voted Trump. He couldn’t get over Joe Biden and what a dunce he was/is. He also voted against Sherrod Brown. He was annoyed by all the ads on his iPad. (Hehehe). There wasn’t a day that went by that he said “I hate Sherrod Brown” I would pat him gently on the back and told him I can relate! (Hahaha)
Betsy… where is/was this, please?
Not sure about this specific instance, but I’ve seen stories about it here in North Idaho.
Florida time zones : ten panhandle counties are in Central Standard Time. The rest of the state is Eastern.
The panhandle polls will be open an hour later than the eastern counties’ polls.
This is what screwed up the 2000 election. MSM called it for Gore while the panhandle was still voting. Then they had to un-call it for an hour, and Bush came in ahead.
(And when Gore conceded to Bush, the Clintons called up Gore and screamed at him to un-concede. No doubt because Hillary was to be the 2004 running mate for Gore, whether he liked it or not. Lieberman would be nudged aside. And they wanted a recount…)
Wait for the panhandle to close in CST.
It’s looking like a sizeable Trump victory in FL regardless.
Great. The panhandle counties would likely go for Trump, anyway.
Yes!! Trump Country definitely
MAGA has gone quiet there…far fewer flags and yard signs than in 2020…the local govt is mostly democrats with some mild emphasis on issues that have the people ticked off…like insurance and over development…
ATTENTION America we need your help! New election clerk Paulina Gutierrez is slow walking the election right now at Central Count in the City of Milwaukee.
We need you all to contact her office and demand she get to work and speed up the election – here’s why:
-paid workers are milling around, ballots are stacked up, but only 4 of the 13 tabulators are being fed ballots at any given time; sometimes no tabulators are running!!
-announcement was just made they expect to be counting ballots till 2-3am Nov.6th…but tons of workers milling around doing nothing
-Paulina has NOT been seen at Central Count at all
-Lots of “skinny” ballots
-Wis. Election Commissioner Ann Jacobs is sitting on the floor at Central Count, which is being held this year at the Baird Convention Center downtown Milwaukee, she is doing NOTHING to move things along
-Ballots are coming in from the wrong wards
-Many ballots, they say, have to be remade!
-State law permits opening and tabulating the ballots beginning at 7am; at 8:30am they still were not doing so; they began at 9:38am!!!! Unbelievable.
-Contact the City of Milwaukee Election Commission at Room 501 City Hall and demand Paulina get the election going!!!! HELP us, call them, email them.
Be polite but firm. Where are you Rep Scott Krug, Senator Dan Knodl, Bryan Steil?
-Peter Bernegger
Let…”the process”…run its course.
IF we don’t know a winner tonight……we know what’s coming.
Like 2020, Trump wins by midnight or shortly thereafter or a looming disaster.
3rd world countries count votes better than the USA.
USA is SO tech savvy, developed and an iphone is more powerful than a mainframe back in the day….
And votes CAN’T be counted…..BS, I don’t care what state you are in
I want to see BHO, Michelle, Valerie, Oprah CRYING………
I’m sure all the toilets will be magically overflowing soon at all the voting places in WI, MN, MI & GA, so all the election watchers can be thrown out@11 PM tonight.
This is what scares me right now. “The process.” It’s been nothing but positive trends and data all day. I’m just hoping and praying we don’t start seeing mysteriously large, implausibly one-sided tranches of votes start dumping in for Harris late this evening.
There is a reason the border of IL and WI is called “The Cheddar Curtain”…and it has nothing to do with cheese.
Chatted with my son last night, he and his wife run a business and are all in on Trump. I made the statement that “they” do not care what “we” think. A bit of a pause on his end, he said “yeah you are right”. We shall see.
Thanks to all who are reporting from their counties in real time, the info will help pin point the problem areas.
we are nearing a new era with a leader who has common sense, and the courage of his convictions.
GO TRUMP!!
There were still some RFK jr signs up in the area. The ones I pass regularly all had his VP pick crossed out and Trump written at the top of the ticket – done by hand.
The fact that someone went around and did this is beautiful.
Also, someone (possibly the same person-
) created a whole bunch of home made Trump/Vance signs and they are up everywhere!
FBI has supposedly arrested a Michigan man after he threatened a mass shooting of Christian conservatives if Trump wins the election.
https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/feds-arrest-2-michigan-men-over-alleged-election-threats/
They are probably treating him to drinks and a fine meal before releasing him for lack of evidence.
Guilford County, North Carolina
Happy to say that my hubby (recent hospital discharge with subdural hematoma head staples, 7 broken ribs and other injuries) and I were able to vote for POTUS Trump today. Timed it to avoid long waits after lunch but before 5 pm after work when employees get to the polls traditionally in this precinct.
GO North Carolina!
You deserve the win!
Prayers for hubby; so glad you were both able to vote in this important election!
Dear God that sounds painful
Hubby went into NYC today via Metro North and noticed several young black men, fit, nice pants and shoes but all wearing similar hoodies with cartoon figures on it on the train he was on and also spread across GCStation.
Gathering of some kind, color of the day, undercover? He’s commuted for decades said never seen such oddity before.
WMAL in DC:
CNN reports that 75% of polled voters today are unhappy/angry with the state of America today. Bodes well for change in party.

Harris County is in Houston Texas. DEMOCRATS are trying to turn Houston and Texas BLUE. Sheila Jackson Lee has lots of DEM associates here.
Totally impromptu Color Revolution (again).
Netanyahu was highly unpopular prior to the October 7 2023 attack by Hamas. I’d hesitate to say a color revolution is underway.
Obama’s group has been fomenting angst against Netanyahu for years…
Tampa here. Ended up voting later than intended but had no issues or wait time – which has always been the case at my precinct.
There was steady flow of people coming in and out. The lady who checked us in said “turnout has been great!” She had a big beautiful MAGA smile when she said it too😊. I know one when I see one.

We’re in NE Ohio in an area that mostly supports Republicans, including President Trump, and my husband and youngest son voted a little bit ago. The parking lot had a line but it was very easy for them to get in and out with voting. This was my son’s first time voting and first time voters get an announcement and cheer from the poll workers.
My oldest son voted Sunday early voting and waited almost an hour.
I voted on Halloween evening and had no wait, while my husband passed out candy.

There is a sneaky abortion issue on the ballot – amendment 3 and some gambling amendments and a ranked choice voting ban amendment amendment 7
Rural Kansas: My daughter was just told that she wasn’t on the voter rolls. And had to cast a provisional ballot. She has voted in every election since 18 and this is a first. The poll worker said it has been happening all day. Who should we contact? Thanks Treepers. On another note my newly 18 year old voted for her first time!.
I’m in NE Kansas, the liberal part of the state. I had no problems here. I am hearing that Kansas is still expected to go for Trump, but by a smaller margin than before. I am concerned that this state will be purple, then blue eventually.
We need to push to clean up the voter rolls!
Yes, SunflowerLady, I’m very concerned for Kansas also. Much to be done here.
The dems could have had RFK Jr or Tulsi but they aren’t communist enough. Bobby will probably get a lot of votes in the states that didn’t take him off the ballot.
Inner city MKE Wi early vote down 60,000. I’m Observing MKE central count . Someone seemed to break the seals on the tabulators and we’re restarting tabulation. Counting pretty slow here , but seems like they shouldn’t be going too far overtime. A whole parade will be following the usb sticks from the tabulators over to city hall to have the vote sent to Madison. No switching the usb sticks out at 3am with no one 2”watching this time.
Wisconsin:

The city of Milwaukee announced it will recount around 30,000 to 40,000 absentee ballots that were already counted, due to an issue with one tabulator that wasn’t sealed.

Nevada’s secretary of state is worried about the state’s high level of rejected ballots.
Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses:
“curing”....In both Clark and Washoe, the number of ballots that have been set aside for curing so far is higher than in 2020 and 2022. As mail ballots continue to be processed, that number is expected to grow.
Released at 3:35 on X. Final message from President Donald J. Trump. It is simply AMAZING!
I voted today in Maury County, TN. No lines, smooth sailing.
I’m praying for an overwhelming Too Big to Rig Victory today!
If there are any Treepers who want to vote and don’t have a ride, Lyft and Uber are offering 50% discount on fares to your polling place today.
(I posted the Uber/Lyft info on the presidential thread, but with only a few hours left for voting, wanted to get the word out on ride discount………..For New Yorkers, NYS polling sites close at 9pm.. latest in the country I believe.
——Oh and for stress eaters waiting results, Krispy Kreme is handing out a free glazed donut and ‘I voted’ stickers today.
am in the most southern part of WVA in a tiny coal town. Our precinct has been OVERRUN all day LONG!!! Everyone around the county is talking about all the voting places being the SAME. OVERRUN. I’ve been praying and trying to keep calm all day long.
Just got a text from someone who voted after work in Saratoga County, NY. Short line about ten people ahead, he was #730. No problems.
