Let the games begin. If you know of a conservative that hasn't voted yet, drag him to the polling station!

Philly vote is 48 percent of what it was in 2018.

That is before they learned in 2020 to properly turn off the lights at 11PM and roll in the needed ballots in the dark of night.

It’s 72 percent now, but far less than 2020.

Mrs Teletech and I voted at 1:15 PM this afternoon in Will County Illinois. We were #182 and #183 according to the ballot taker. Started to pick up as we left. No waiting at all to vote.

Voted in KS-03 at 11:30am, the wife at 2:00pm. Literally nobody in line for either of us. This compares to earlier this year when abortion was on the ballot when a couple dozen voters in each of four lines waited to vote. 45 minutes last election, 45 seconds this election.

This district is held by the only Dem from KS in Congress, and was redrawn by the GOP. There are no reliable pre-election polls on this race. I am optimistic we can flip this seat.

I voted around 1 o’clock here in northern Virginia. Turnout was lower than for last year’s gubernatorial election, and we were only voting on congressman, mayor and city council. Gerry Connolly (drunken Dim, VA) essentially ran unopposed as the GOPe didn’t spend any money on their candidate, Myles, and the town council election featured only one new name, so I expected a low turnout for this district.

There are two hot races here in northern VA - Vega(R) vs Spanberger(D), and Cao(R) vs Wexton(D). Both Dims are incumbents and will probably win, but it will be close. Lipsman(R) vs Beyer(D) could have been closer, but the GOPe abandoned her, too.

Markets are up on a one month chart. On a year to date, they are way down. Probably being manipulated for the election, like the drawdown on the strategic petroleum reserve.

Let’s see what happens to fuel prices and stock prices in a week or so.

I set my cigar down outside when I went in to vote in Northern CA and I was out so fast that it was still lit! (I know, it’s CA, so who cares? But still!) :)

Upstate New Yorker here outside of Utica. Usual voter number ranges from 150 to 300 same time of day with no waiting. Tonight in the high 900โ€™s with a line outside the building. First time I've seen this in the 43 years I've lived here! This is usually a Republican area.

MARICOPA COUNTY ARIZONA UPDATE III
Since I’m an “apples to apples” kind of guy :)

Baseline: 930K, 37.5-37.4% R/D
EDAY: 139K, 56-15% R/D (was 57-14% R/D)
NOW: 1069K, 39.9-34.5% R/D

When this one county is added to AZ’s total, we get

AZ NOW: 1736K, 38.6-36.2% R/D

Want to see what a rural landslide looks like?

These are today’s in-person numbers from Elko, the fifth-largest rural county today:

D — 134
R — 1,023
O - 364

That ratio!

Rs increase lead to 16,000 in Clark. (NV)

I am really surprised by how this turnout is. It is really low.

Is it because it is really low or because the unions are pushing their members to use mail drop boxes? (They are, but it seems unlikely to offset the GOP surge, yes?)

I just realized that the October unemployment report came out on Friday. Unemployment went up by 0.1% to 3.7%.

I don't recall anybody covering it on Friday or over the weekend.
