Yes, there are a few threads on it.
My son and his friends are voting GOP in Ames - Iowa State University students.
As a former Buckeye from bright red Miami County north of Dayton, that is AWESOME news. When you have the red Counties voting big in SW Ohio, Cleveland can go stuff it.
I am waiting for Montgomery County to turn red this time and make SW Ohio solid RED!
I’m a former Iowa State grad...great school
We need Iowa to remain RED
Looking for an upset here in WI
bttt
It's a count of D vs. R returns in early voting and absentees. While such a count is suggestive of relative party turnout, it is NOT a count of actual votes.
Those at Fox who still do that are in a small and shrinking minority.

I voted this morning in Middleburg Heights a suburb of Cleveland. I live in a democrat precinct and the line was very short compared to the same time in 2004. There were however a lot of absentees who had either already voted or at least gotten a ballot so it is hard to say what the actual turn out is.
Wonderful! Keep us updated.
” I’ve been watching Fox News Channel most of the morning, and apparently, their producers and camera people are unable to find any white people actually voting.
There are approximately 15 million black adults in this country, and by the end of the day, Fox News Channels will have videotaped every single one of them voting.
Shame on Fox. They are firmly and irretrievably on the Dark Side. (And that is not a reference to black people, but rather, to evil.)”
Have felt the same thing the last several days.
LOL! Do you think it just might be possible that it might be on purpose?? That would terrify most older whites to go vote.

Yes. But we all eventually got to cast a ballot.
Let me give that a long and deliberate thought. Yes, I do.
I’m in Ozaukee County, reddest of red WI.
Voted at about 0800, #137.
McCain/Palin
Sensenbrenner
Grothman
Gottleib
Praying for the Republic!
Just heard a radio report that turnout in Franklin County (Columbus) is lighter than expected. No lines reported anywhere.
HELP!!! Experience in central OHIO, in a heavy McCain area. Ran into my neighbor at the polling facility, she had her 18 year old son voting for the first time. She had early voted so the son walked up to the registration table with me. I was first, an AfricanAM man gave me my card to place into the machine and told me he would come over to help me vote when it was my turn....I told him that wouldn’t be necessary. HOWEVER, he also helped my neighbors son who didn’t know the difference. When it was his turn the man came over and explained how to do it and THEN, said and pointed, “TOUCH THIS TO VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA.” Of course, he didn’t know this was illegal and didn’t say anything but did tell his mother on their way home. She is calling to make a report. I sure wish I had taken his offer of help because had he said that to me, the entire place would have errupted and been shut down.
Yes, since I’m from one of those rural counties in Ohio, I’m very aware the role they play. So, LS’s news is very good indeed.
