Observations and thoughts on this election day

[livingston]

Post your ground reports ... observations ... What is happening in your community.. Polling places busy ? Any chaos in the streets if there is an announcement of a win ... Trouble spots... Feeling on how voting is progressing..

 

[MothMan]

Apprehension. In 40 years of marriage Butterfly and I have never cast our votes together. Today we are going together to vote. Or unbeknownst to my wife I am taking her to vote. Our votes will be cast!

I'll throw out an early 2nd hand observation that may lend credence to the published predictions that most conservative voters would hold off and vote in person and there would be a larger than normal number of such voters.

A close friend who lives in a small town usually walks to work and is in her office before 6 AM. As a consequence, on election day she just makes a 1/2 block detour to the fire house on her way to work and is either the first or second person to vote.

She told me she arrived at 5:58 this morning and the line was around the building. She didn't make it to the office until 6:40.

I voted in Morrisville today. I can tell you I've never seen so many people out this early in the morning. I really don't know if this is good or bad for Trump. Bye the time I left the line had grown to twice the size than when I showed up.

A good friend of mine left his hat at his polling place this morning.

 

[Bustedknees]

I was in and out quickly. No temps taken , wore my friggin mask, had to give them my name, address, then sign with steril electric pens to confirm its me. Tgen off to my ward table for my ballot, given another clean pen. Filled out than dropped in the machine. Another cleaning crew behind me like the old Bull Winkle cartoon..

Got there at 6:30 out by 7:15
A guy and his kid both had MAGA hoodies on

pickup in the lot with a trump flag

 

[Jmac00]

I was at my polling place at 6:05, and there was a line of about 15 people, and it was growing as I waited (with my stupid fucking mask and this dumbass social distance bullshit) I vote in EVERY ELECTION, never have I seen a line. It maybe due to total incompetency by the election people. One lady was wearing a mask, and a face shield, except she was wearing the shield sidewise (not kidding, she had the thing covering her right ear)

Heres my prediction: if the election is close, 49/51 or 45/55 (either way, Trump/Biden, Biden/Trump) I think Biden steals the election through fraud and illegal aliens voting. Pres. Trump need a landslide win, 60% or better so the left will have a very tough time challenging the vote. Even with all the mail in bullshit, Trump needs EVERY single supporter to get to the polls and vote RED. Otherwise, I think Biden will steal the election through fraud, Ballot harvesting and aliens voting

DC is going to burn tonight

DC protesters organized via Zoom for months, thousands expected outside White House on Election Day

A collection of groups led by Black Lives Matter and Shutdown DC reportedly has been holding training sessions for demonstrators to protest on Election Day -- and apparently they’re planning a large-scale event across the street from the White House expected to draw thousands.

We need a landslide and control of the house and senate ... MAGA

If we give Republicans control of both the House and Senate, let's hope they don't squander it this time like they always have in the past.

 

[SomeSoldier]

Voted, place was quiet, I didn't have to wait. Whats a mask? No station wipe downs, no used pen drop off.

They will, same as every other time. The government is not for the people, its for making the people holding office money.

Portland was the training ground ....Antifa will be in the forefront

We need to hold their feet to the fire ....

 

[Dr. Evil]

Got there at 5:50 am. Line down the street. Was in my vehicle by 6:20 am. Put on a mask for the first time. Didn't social distance. You were supposed to use the sanitizer but I didn't. They gave you disposable gloves even though most people used hand sanitizer. Sounds reasonable . Stuck my paper in the machine, gave my pen to a lady who got rid of my cooties and I left.

Level set: there is no chance in hell republicans take the house. You can forget it. Republicans may keep the senate, and they may keep the oval, but house is absolutely a nonissue at this point.

As for turnout everyone says dems vote early by mail, and apparently although no votes are known by mail (not yet counted) it is known which party a person belonged to when they mailed it in, so at this point reasonably we can presume more votes cast for biden than trump. But, everybody also says that on election day more republicans will be voting in person. So it still may end up interesting...I should have voted early but I guess I'll wait in a long line instead.

If trump eeks out a win he wins. I don't think we need to see him win by 5-10% points. The dems will cry as always but a win is a win and the scotus won't have it. So don't worry about having to trounce them for a victory.

Trump does seem to have reminded Republicans how to fight, at least a little.

Lets hope he gets to repeat the lesson.

It's a lot harder to cover up "finding" 100k fraudulent ballots than 10k.

A landslide would be a lot safer.

Yep. Just told a buddy if the margin is razor thin I can grant some fraud for a win but if it's not razor thin I'll accept whatever happens as the "will of the people'.

A lot of people are pissed at the behavior of the dems ... could happen

They arw, just brace for impact is all I'm saying.

IMO if we lose the oval but we keep the senate we're still in the game. We need that victory at the very least to hamper some of the new communists' program.

 

[Saltwater60]

I get three hours to vote. I’m taking two and voting today about 2 pm. Normally no line at all.
I feel the election is too close to call. I think more demonrats will vote but just because they are registered as a demonrat doesn’t mean they will vote for one. I know many registered demonrats that vote straight R or C. I’m voting straight C to prove I don’t support either party. I normally pass by the Supreme Court justices because there is never a choice. One candidate for all lines so I skip it as a protest and wrote in something stupid like why no choice or any asshole but the one listed.

I think keeping the senate is an uphill battle. We’re defending way more seats in swing or purple areas. I fear if we lose the White House all is lost and they will control all three chambers and our life as we know it is over.

I think dems need to be careful what they wish for. If they get all three and think they are going to turn us into venezuela by end of 2022 they're going to find heretofore unengaged middle america increasingly unwilling to watch it happen.

 

[GOPerfect]

I awoke.

I brush my teeth.

I wet my hair and got dressed. I donned a pair of gray shorts, black tee shirt and a gray/black sweatshirt. I light colored Veterans For Trump hat, red sun glasses and a Blue Lives Matter Mask. ( Yep, I wore a mask, was not happy about it. But my vote matters more).

Wife and drove to the church in my area.

Walked up the stairs to no line at all. We voted.

We both voted Trump.

As we were leaving, we saw about twenty guys, older guys, in the parking lot checking their hats and masks. All Trump guys.

I hung around to see if they were allowed to vote wearing the Trump stuff, they said no issues!

If this is a Trump landslide then you can expect the House to fill too. It will be a message to the entrenched Deep State.
