Freedom on...

Just voted somewhere in the NE. Paper ballots and a scanner. About 60 people in line and it moved quickly. Took 10 minutes.
It was funny, the ladies working the desk were asking people to go online to get their election district. The idiot behind me was typing "pole" instead of "poll" on his phone to get the ED. IDIOTS!
God Help Us All!!
Go TRUMP!!!
Showed up early. Unusual lack of campaign workers outside the place distributing literature. Usually they are there even for off-year local races. Maybe six people inside waiting in line. Very calm. From the looks of them though I suspect the other five were all voting Dem.
There were HUGE signs on all the doors warning you that shooting video or cell phone photos on the premises was STRICTLY PROHIBITED. These showed up for the first time last Spring (and I’ve been voting here for 19 years).
RURAL PENNSYLVANIA - Two voting stations have lines out the door and wrapping around the buildings. Lots of people wearing red. #MAGA
Leave home: 7:03 AM
Arrive polling place (local public library): 7:13 AM
Longer line than I had anticipated for the time of day, approximately 50-75 people. Still, line was orderly and moved fairly quickly.
Casting my ballot complete, and depart polling place: 7:59 AM.
Spent the next 45 minutes getting breakfast and running a few errands...
the infowarrior
Central Indiana here.
Voted at the local church. About 8 people ahead of me and the wife. First guy didn’t show ID (required in Indiana). He voted anyway. Next guy, an older gentlemen, gave his name. There were two of him on the list. Each had the same birth day but different birth years. Poll worker told him to choose one to sign. The birth years were 1948 and 1968. He was obviously 1948, which is the one he signed.
We were in and out in 10 minutes.
We have paper ballots. Fill it in and put it in the machine to be counted. What I don’t like is that the machine does not show your vote to be checked before it is counted. You can’t be sure it was tallied correctly.
GO TRUMP!
We have no color on our voter guides or sample ballots. They all be white. ;-)
Same thing here at my polling place. ONE campaign worker outside. Two poll workers inside. Only about 8 people in line when I voted at about 8:30 (southside Indianapolis). Steady stream of people kept the numbers at around 8 - 10.
GO TRUMP!
That’s racis
100 People when I arrived in Rochester, MN
Kind of disorganized and they clearly didn’t expect this many.
Couldn’t really ID voters but probably a 50-50 mix Trump vs Drunk
What is everyone listening to or watching today for legit analysis without the Trump Derangement Syndrome? I don’t even trust Fox and I’m waiting for Rush but the morning silence is killing me...lol.
My polling place had a line out the door and since I had to get to work by 8, I just decided that I will go wait in line in the dark after I get off. We’ll do what we can in Joisey but I live in a town where whites are the minority already.
That's a good way to go! But then, I wouldn't have been able to do my little sample - not that I was surprised at the results.
Just returned from voting.
Voted Trump (of course) for President
Garrett for HOR
No on both State Constitutional questions.
Scanned the paper ballot and was done.
Missed the before work/school crowd so I was in and out in 10 minutes.
Business was starting to pick up as I left.
Only dark faces in the crowd were three of the poll workers, kind of expected in this lilly white neighborhood, so no idea what the bigger picture looks like.
Philly suburbs. Arrived 1 hour after poll opened. 100 or so people in line, my ballot was 350th tallied.
GOP rep onsite, signs for everyone on the ballot but Trump. Heard someone ask where his Trump sign was and he said “I must have forgotten it, haha”.
Same GOP guy from the primaries, at which time there were no GOP POTUS signs, either.
I voted my conscience. Nevertrump GOP candidates did not earn my vote, and I left those races blank.
#68
This is the official vote report thread.
Oakville, MO (Southeast St Louis County - Unincorporated)
Arrived 0545, probably 75 folks in front of me. No electioneers on the way in. Line began moving promptly at 0600 and moved steadily. Blank paper ballots were piled about a foot high. 4 Electronic stations. 10 paper stations when I arrived, 14 & increasing by the time I left. The poll officials used three sided dividers, apparently made for this purpose, and set them on tables against the wall. They could increase the number of paper stations at will based on demand and the space available. Many more paper ballot voters than electronic, 2, maybe 3:1 paper. In addition to the normal poll workers, there were a couple HS aged girls working the poll. One was directing anyone who wanted to vote electronic to a shorter line, the other was seated near the exit door with a pre-formatted form in her hand. She was collecting data of some kind. There was one electioneer outside when I left representing our incumbent State Representative. 40 minutes from line movement to out the door.
We never have any issues in our district. Its bright Red usually so the DemonRats in national and state races don’t even bother with it.
Freedom on...
The ladies at my polling place did comment that everyone was asking for those little “I Voted” stickers.
For the first time in memory the county had failed to provide them with any.
Hmmmm.....
My little beach town in Pinellas County, FL had the longest line at about 0715 that I’ve ever experienced. They even let one lady in with a Trumplican shirt on. I wore my Donut Tread On Me shirt with no issues.
That is kinda weird... They had a whole box of them with a couple rolls out on the table by the voting machines here...
I live in a fairly small town in PA which shall be nameless...pop. maybe 10k? Never saw a line before but there was one this morning. Not a big line, but unusual. Mostly older folks — retired, over 60. Canes and walkers and escorts.
I’d say around 30 people were there; 3 machines. It was rather chilly at 9am.
All were upbeat, cheerful, but then they usually are in my neighborhood.
It will be solidly for Trump here.
Thanks. Does he have any kind of a track record?
