On Hannity, they just reported that they are seeing turnout in the TEENS in blue, urban areas of Ohio and upwards of 80% in the red areas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FWIW, Shep Smith and Sabato don't look very happy.
FYI - Here is an email I just received from my sister in a surburb of Cleveland.
"I knew it! I just knew it! Breaking news - the Dems are filing a lawsuit to keep CERTAIN polling places located in BLACK areas to stay open past 7:30. Same as in TN. The Dems there also filed a lawsuit to keep certain polls open past the deadline. Their reason? Long lines. Well too bad. I had a long wait, and I'm not filing a lawsuit."
Oh well, if you can't win with votes, win with fraud and lawyers. It's the dimocrap way.
