A union electrician buddy of mine who works in JC and lives up in the Hopatcong lake area is YUGE pro-Trump. He says all his buddies are also and that they wouldn’t even consider crooked Hillary.
He also says he could care less what the union wants him to vote.
For the 1st time, he’s actually paying political attention and is really riled up! He’s coming around.
To answer your question, I believe NJ *will* be much closer with Trump than McCain or Romnet and probably Bush.
I’m usually the first or second in line but not this morning. There were about 23 people ahead of me before the polling site even opened. That has never happened before. After I voted, I drove by polling stations in 2 neighboring towns (Hope and Blairstown) and the parking lots were jammed. (Warren County is strong Republican).
