CTH Election Day Coverage 2018

For the midterm election day we have a pretty good idea what the overall media approach will be [See Here]. Knowing the gaslighting will likely be even worse than 2016, it becomes more important to tune out the media’s narrative and stick to substance. That’s where the value of YOUR ground reports come in.

Based on scale, CTH has readers in every state, every city, and likely almost every precinct in the country.

So, YOU are now the media.

We will present ground report threads for you to share your insight and voting experience in your community on this midterm election. Past experience tells us the best approach is to use a noon thread (12pm – 3pm ET / 9am – 12pm PT); and a mid-day thread (3pm – 6pm ET / 12pm – 3pm PT), for you to share individual ground reports. From these reports we can get a good picture of what’s going on coast-to-coast.

Then starting at 7:00pm ET we will begin reviewing election results in two hour increments. NOTE: I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to ignore “exit polling” pushed by media. Exit polling is a complete con, used to fabricate and shape talking points for media pundits. Ignore exit polling, especially in the mid-west and west coast. As we saw in 2016, exit polling is disconnected from actual voting results.

Here in the Adirondacks of Upstate NY. Voted at 6:30AM and had to wait to find a parking space. Never happened before. I guess folks are energized!

Folks ... If you have time ... Tell us of your impressions after voting .... Crowed .. slow ... I never can get a sense of the mood .. Always been very somber whenever I have voted .... Main thing ... Get out to vote and if you have a friend take them ...

The entire world is watching.
Patriots from around the world are praying for AMERICA.
We are all bound by a feeling deep inside, a feeling that cannot be publicly expressed for fear of ridicule, a feeling that challenges the mainstream (narrative), against that which we are told to accept and dare not question, put simply, that people are being abused by those in power and time is running out.
Remember the battles of Lexington and Concord - "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!"
For far too long we have been silent and allowed our bands of strength, that we once formed to defend FREEDOM and LIBERTY, to deteriorate.
We became divided.
We became weak.
We elected TRAITORS to govern us.
We allowed EVIL to prey on us.
Those who claimed to represent us gave us false hope, made false promises.
The evil and corruption only grew.
——————————
This is more than party politics.
This is about restoring OLD GLORY.
This is about saving our land and our people from those who wish us harm.
This is about preserving our REPUBLIC.
This is about preserving our SAFETY.
This is about restoring our STRENGTH.
This is about LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
This is about PROTECTING our children.
THIS IS ABOUT SAVING AMERICA.
We are all God's children.
We are, FATHERS.
We are, MOTHERS.
We are, DAUGHTERS.
We are, SONS.
We are, BROTHERS.
We are, SISTERS.
We do not look at race.
We do not look at skin color.
We are UNITED in these STATES OF AMERICA.
We are, and will always be, PATRIOTS.
WE MUST RISE AGAIN.
WE MUST UNITE AGAIN.
WE MUST FIGHT AGAIN.
FOR GOD & COUNTRY —- PLEASE ANSWER THE CALL & VOTE.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.

It was crowed at my polling place at around 6:15. I then passed 3 more places driving into work and the all seemed dead.

 

[Catskillkid]

Quiet at my polling place. One person leaving as I was coming in and other person coming in as I was leaving. But I'm in a little town with a population that's just over 3,000 so I don't think you can say much about that. I know my parents are sleeping in and will go in later today. Because of my work schedule it was morning or bust for me. And believe me, I made sure my ass was up in time to get to the polls AND work on time.

 

[Defilade]

Looks like wood stock!

 

[livingston]

Jut voted said count was over 300 at 9 am said that count was heavy

Sadly I fear there may very well be a blue wave, in the house. Any dream of national CCW reciprocity may once again be on hold.

A narrow majority in the house is not the blue wave the Democrats promised. Reagan had a Democratic house for 6 years of his presidency by a larger margin (and a Democratic Senate the last two).

They may well lose be losing ground in the Senate.

 

[Robin]

Here's your blue wave!

That already passed the House, it’s waiting on the senate which will likely stay republican, unless I am missing something

It’s a double whammy. The Senate would ordinarily pass its own version of the bill, then send it to committee to work out the differences. They would then re-pass the bill. Or they could just pass the House version.

But either way requires a filibuster-proof Senate vote (61) which isn’t likely.

Poor Marc

 

[Jmac00]

ya, Shannon Joy keeps stumping for this guy. I really doubt he has a chance, seeing as 95% of the people never heard of the guy. At least everyone I talked to never heard of the guy

 

[DoD1776]

This isn’t an actual poll just so u guys know. It says, “most searches” but that could mean he’s a high favored candidate. We’ll see.

 

[Jsmegs77]

I've seen a Larry Sharpe lawn sign. I'd expect this to be spin to push conservative voters in a direction to fragment the vote and boost FUAC, who has no fragmentation in his base (thanks to Nixon punking out and not running in anything other than the Dem primary).

Take with a large dose of salt.

If republicans were smart they wouldn’t be voting for a RINO. I wish they would’ve all Just voted for larry because he has a lot of support and is going to split the vote.

 

[redtail]

Vote splitter.
Talks a good game .
3rd party has no shot.
Trojan horse ?

 

[Karpteach]

Republicans are going to lose cause of “Libertarian” that has NO a chance in hell. For goodness sake folks, wake up and smell the coffee we live in a Commie State. Molinaro had a small chance without Sharpe.

 

[Darth]

Does that lie sound like a broken record to anyone else yet?

Maybe a few more centuries and people might get it.

Nobody is entitled to any votes they do not earn.

 

[FrankenCub]

I was #290 and the only one in the place around 3:00

 

[BDinPutnam]

For what positon, Director of Canine Behavioral Enforcement?

 

[Tinman]

I was #214. Lots of pale behind me. Even saw 2 guys wearing MAGA hats. Congratulated them on their choice of attire.

Except that will probably get them turned away. You are not supposed to wear any political attire at polling places. I REALLY hope this oversight doesn't fuck us out of the votes we need!! It's nice that people are excited but getting turned away because of this is just stupid. Wear normal clothing to the polls. It's supposed to be secret ballot anyway.

I, as usual, wore my NRA hat and woodland camo BDU shirt with my NYM colors. No one cared. Not even the Dem board members sitting at the table.

  3. Updaye on Chris Collins (NY 27)…his opponent just asked a judge to impound all ballots!!! The judge denied the request! The opponent’s reasoning is that Collins is a “crook”, and the vote can’t be trusted. National dems involved?
     It’s not even close I’m guessing!

  The opponent’s manager is referencing corrupt media polls that had this race in a deep red district a tossup…I think he’s seeing a bowout. Voter supression!!!
  A recent local poll had Collins up by 7.

At 3:30 this afternoon I waited in line at the poling place. The town I live in has a pop. of 3400. Never have seen it that busy.

 

[pjzwtl]

I don’t recall my number but for my polling place in Mamakating was busy when my wife went on her lunch she said it was packed. I went about 3:30 and there was a line like 2 years ago
