Get Off My Lawn
| Polls open at 7am, got there at 6:30. Already three dozen people in line and by 7am maybe over 150 people and more coming in. Talked to a poll worker in line, the first week of early voting was nuts, the 2nd week was sparse but steady. Our country is red and she said typically Election Day is the busiest. While in line, we heard periodic instances of applause in the room (2 dozen machines) and it turns out the staff were clapping for first time voters, apparently many in this election.

| Just got back. I'm rural and never had to wait on line in 25 years voting at this polling location. Very strong turnout and... ...I live in Trump country!

Void Where Prohibited
| My wife and I just voted. The local newspaper said one third of voters in the state had voted in early voting. It was pretty busy at the poll considering that. I expect a very high turnout; I expect that's a good thing for President Trump.

We are thinking of you all.
Tomorrow will be a new chapter in the history of your great country, and whatever 'colour' you are, we wish you all well. |

What is the soup du jour?
| Took my father to vote today. There were 4 in front of us after holding the door to let others in. Not one minute after being told "No cellphones are allowed out", a millennial girl (I'm also a millennial) whipped out her phone to pass the time. She was promptly humiliated once the poll worker returned. Was nice to see Trump at the top of the voting list, after seeing how the blue and swing states have been placing him at the bottom. |

| Biggest line I've seen in years about 0940. Dropped my wife by the door and had to park across the road. Did my usual handshakes outside with the local R candidates and glared at the D ones. Yeah, I can be a dink.
