Lots of comments on JSONLINE about turnout, but the one from the heart of UW Milwaukee is great news. Low voter turnout in the inner city and the universities will mean huge Republican gains in Wisconsin.

My son is a student at UW Madison and is a poll worker today. He will be texting me info on how things are going in the heart of the liberal beast here in Wisconsin. I just asked him to find out turnout numbers this year vs 2008 and 2006.

Wisconsin currently has a Dem Gov, 2 Dem Senators, 5 out of 8 Dem Congressmen, and Dem state house and senate. In short, the Dems control EVERY facet of gov't, both Federal and State here except for state Atty Gen.

In today's election, Wisconsin may very well have the largest Blue to Red shift in the nation. We WILL be electing a Rep Gov, a Rep Senator, and possibly changing the Congress count from 5 dem/3 Rep to 6 rep/2 dem. We also stand a great chance to take over both the State of Wis House AND Senate.

If the kids and welfare queens stay home today, sanity may be restored in the land of cheese, brats, and beer:)

I commented that there was nobody at our polls which are usually lines a football field long, we’re a heavy republican area, the thread was pulled, guess the FR isn’ about the truth when the don’t like the report, hell, I was just reporting that I was very confused by the lack of voters and was called filth and all kinds of crap.

PULL MY THREAD BECAUSE I SAID THERE WAS NO-ONE AT THE POLLS AS WELL AS OTHER CO-WORKERS WHO WERE AT DIFFERENT POLLS? WELL GUESS WHAT, HERE I AM AGAIN.

I Have heard similar reports about low voting at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Please make it so.

Maybe they thought that the “Restoring Insanity” Rally was the election....

Thankgoodness the MSM is in denial and all of the MTV veejays are asleep.

That and they don’t have a “dear leader” figure to vote for this election.

My college student daughter voted. We moved to a different state this summer. When she arrived, she was only here two weeks before she headed west for School. Voter registration was high on her priority list.

Conservative all the way.

Same thing this morning at the precinct I go to where, two years ago, Vanderbilt students were lined up down the block when the polls opened at 7am.

This morning, not a student in sight.

Interesting, but be skeptical of anecdotal reports. We got really fooled in 2008 with reports of big turnouts in GOP districts - only later to find out a lot of those people were crossing over and voting Obama.

Geraghty just tweeted that turnout in a center city Phila. district was only 18% so far (by 12:30 PM). The unions are going to have to warm the busses up and go round people up and drive them to the polls-LOL.

A positive for Cao in LA-02. It’s raining cats and dogs in NO and supposed to continue all day.
