What do you see there today? Is the suburbs trending Republican, Democratic or what? What about the suburban white women?

You’re kidding right?

LOL

It sounds like “see if the teacher’s coming!!”

Geez. I got home from work an hour ago.

I’m gonna grab a bottle of JD and some food and wake later on when things start moving.

If the threads are gonna be like this all day, it’s a good move :)

I live in a suburban district in New Jersey where the GOP incumbent probably has an 85% chance of losing. This district is one of a handful across the U.S. that voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

No offense to suburban women out there among my fellow Freepers, but suburban women have destroyed New Jersey over the last 40 years.

“Hey! Where all the white women at?!”

In a leftist MA suburb here, it is VERY busy. Long lines. Unexpected.

Not sure what it portends. We have 3 ballot questions that may be driving folks to the polls, plus my town has a local ballot question on pot shops.

Always interesting being behind enemy lines...

I live in Lake County, Indiana (suburban Chicago), a blue part of the state. The GOP candidate for Congress doesn’t have a prayer of winning (the GOP didn’t even run a candidate in 2016 and I voted for the Libertarian.) Same for state rep and senate. I have seen a good amount of GOP signage south of where I am, especially for sheriff and legislature in that district, which is kind of unusual. Also some for Mike Braun. Maybe that’s a positive sign for that race.

My precinct in Sarasota (Florida) is one of the larger ones in the county and couldn’t be any more suburban. We voted 70% for Trump in ‘16. Just got back from voting and a friend working the polls said they are seeing 2016 type turnout. FWIW. No idea if white single women will, once again, be voting for a communist black man who hates white people to prove they aren’t racist.

Busy in Bucks County PA. CB South HS to be exact. 65-70% MEN. Not sure what it means.

Warrigton PA is one of the Suburban watch areas. It has been ruined by Democrats fleeing the damage THEY caused by voting Democrat in Philly.

All I know is that my wife, 25 year old twins(Girl and Boy) are voting straight R! My Brother has his wife and 2 kids voting R for first time.

REPUBLICANS WIN One Vote at a time. Go vote and take someone with you!

I live in a fairly affluent suburb between Cleveland and Akron. My husband and I just returned from voting (straight Repubican) and the lady at the poll said this is the highest turnout she has seen. She said possibly even higher than 2016. Hope that is a good sign!!

My 2:1 R area in PA is seeing Presidential election turnout today; I am usually R number 7 to 12 to vote in my precinct in non-Presidential election years; and right around number 70 to vote in Presidential years. Today I was number 71.

Just voted in New Hampshire this morning in my rural town, here is what I saw ...

- lots of “Hippy Harpies” congregating around the Dem sign holders with their P-Wiped “husbands” or “significant others”.
- Every lib in the town was there it seemed ... not good.
- I went over the one guy holding signs for Repub candidates and told him I voted for him and wished him luck, within earshot of the Rats.
- You would have thought I just stomped a puppy to death.

I fear that NH is lost big time. The Hate is so bad you can see it virtually affect the faces of these libs with permanent scowls they wear.

NH now has a Repub House/Senate/Gov, but I think they are all going to be swiped out this election. Even though they cut taxes, closed a HUGE budget deficit, came up with money for full day Kindergarten.

Seething Hatred is a very hard thing to beat.

It is going to be a very bad couple of years in NH and probably in the rest of the country.

I'm in the bluest of blue districts, CA 18, which is centered on the San Francisco Bay Area and includes all of Lefty Loony Palo Alto, Redwood City, Menlo Park, Stanford, Los Altos, Mountain View, Campbell, Saratoga, Los Gatos and parts of San Jose.

The Cook Political Report rates our district as "Solid Democratic" which is a gross exaggeration. Hell would freeze over before this district ever voted sensibly. We went for Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 by a margin of 53.2 points. That was the MARGIN, not the actual vote. In most normal places, that would have been the vote.

In the 2016 Congressional race, Anna Eshoo, the Democrat incumbent, received 230k votes (71.1%). The Republican challenger, Richard Fox, received 93k votes (28.9%).

I'll vote today and will eagerly reject almost all of the lefty propositions on the ballot. But my Congressional vote? It's meaningless.

Republican challengers are all but invisible here. I couldn't even tell you who is running against Eshoo.

I wonder if I should change my voting registration to our second house in North Idaho. The Dems are starting to make inroads there and my vote would be more influential there.

My precinct in suburban Baltimore is currently being drenched with pounding rain. The 20 or so people I saw voting were all white and Republican looking, even though this precinct has a healthy chunk of black voters. FYI, black women, who are far more likely to vote than black men (and far more likely to vote straight Dem), are especially “rain averse.” I was told this by a black female who works in my office. Apparently, rain just torches their hair, makes it frizzy, etc. Accordingly, in states on the East Coast and elsewhere that are getting soaked like Maryland and New Jersey, expect lower Democrat turnout.

I understand your pain. My son lives in Redwood City and his business is located in Mountain View. Most of his employees live in SF and commute to Mountain View. He and his wife have been solid Conservatives for ever, but their votes will never count.

Yes, “pain” is the correct word for it. The horrendous politics here were a major factor in us buying our second house in North Idaho. The traffic, sky high prices for everything, increasingly rude people which comes with congestion (and was never the case decades ago), and the feeling we somehow mysteriously moved in our sleep to Delhi or Beijing were also big factors.

I’m in a suburban Virginia district (York County), part of the 2nd Congressional District, represented by Scott Taylor. Until court-ordered redistricting in 2016, we were in the 1st Congressional District, which ran from the Newport News city limits, up the Tidewater Peninsula, to the Richmond suburbs.

In those days, the district was at least R+6; now, we’re part of a district that runs from Virginia Beach up the I-64 corridor into my area, but avoids metro areas of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News and Hampton. Very competitive district, and the Dims have pumped millions into Taylor’s challenger, a retired Navy Commander named Elaine Luria. Taylor had a solid lead in the last poll, conducted about three weeks ago.

The crowd at my polling place this morning was older (I’d say median age was at least 45), and definitely Republican. Only saw one millennial in line, but then again, it was just after 8 o’clock and many of them are still asleep in their parents’ basement. This is still one suburb that turns out for the GOP.

I had to go back and find my post to find this thread to Apologize to you.

You were right about who’s showing up and where and that it matters.

My wife was number 85 when she voted this morning.

Last midterm she was number 5.

That’s about a 1700 percent increase in votes by 8am as opposed to 8am last midterms.

She didn’t tell me the make up, but this is a conservative district and that is an ASTOUNDING change.

We ARE going to win tonight :)

Again, my sincere apologies.
