He’s trying to tell you that the MSM assumes a D+7 turnout and they are wrong. If she doesn’t get it. She loses.

BS. There is no MSM “source.” Furthermore, who does arrogant prick think he think he is to post his crap on every single election-related thread with this bunk?

Voted at 10 AM...precinct 02-01 Wake County, NC...no line but very busy. 47% of the county had already voted by early voting!

We’ve been following the MSM polls and that’s been a consistent assumption in their internal numbers. They are dead wrong. We know that. Hillary can’t get there.

Precinct 18-04 (just south of Raleigh), slightly over am hour wait. Line moved well, smooth operation at 7:30 AM.

Hard to read, but most folks seemed positive and upbeat which makes me think they were voting R.

Not sure it will matter as I fear the fix has been in since 1996.

Right.

If Slate isn’t releasing their much touted exit polls, you all know why.

Bill Mitchell ‏@mitchellvii 53s53 seconds ago In NC EV, voting by ages 22-29 dropped by a remarkable 66% from 2012. Millennials simply did not show up for Hillary.

Nothing too exciting here in Union County, because the early voting was quite heavy — including me. I voted two weeks ago, and had to wait 30 minutes.

I stopped by my voting precinct, Weddington Elementary, and it’s pretty quiet. Union County, which adjoins Mecklenburg County (Charlotte) to the southeast, is largely suburban and exurban, especially near the Mecklenburg line. The county seat of Monroe has a substantial black and Hispanic population, and leans D, but is overwhelmed by the bright red territory closer to the Mecklenburg line. Union County should go for Trump by about 65-35; my precinct should be closer to 75.

Obviously, NC is close and critical. Close Senate and Gubernatorial races, too. Union County is the type of place where the GOP must run up big numbers. I think we will.

Madison County here. My wait was about 15 minutes and the poll workers said that they thought today would set a record for the county. Everyone was happy and upbeat. A deputy was keeping an eye on things.

Voted un my (fairly conservative) precinct around 9:20 a.m.
Had to wait in line for about 20-25 minutes. It was busier then the 2012 election, but not nearly as busy as the 2008 election (Obama’s first run) - that year, the lines went out the front door in my precinct, which never happens.

No hunches as to the mood of the voters here in the Piedmont, but I’m praying hard for a Trump victory in the Tarheel state!

Voted in Cary, NC (suburb of Raleigh). No line but poll workers said turnout had been heavy. Great to be able to cast my vote for Trump, McCrory, Burr, and others.

I voted about the same time in Union. Light turnout, but everyone had to pass the early voting site at the Fire Department on their way home for weeks. A good representation of the county Republicans, handing out “the ticket about the judges.”
