Patriots, thought it might be useful to have a thread to collect interesting observations from voting locations. My state makes early voting in my location extremely difficult so I will unfortunately be voting today. I'll be heading over early afternoon once my wife and son are home so we can all cast our vote for President Donald J Trump. I will report back in this thread as I am in Minneapolis.
Mods, perhaps a stickied voting thread? Doesn't need to be mine by any means. But might be nice for people to report what they're seeing today, especially in battleground states.
I can’t wait to hear how Mpls is! Let us know!!
I'll be very, very curious. I'm in a sleepy area of NE Minneapolis and my voting location is usually fairly quiet most elections. This is an extremely blue area in an extremely blue city.
When I voted in the primaries back in March, it was DEAD. Zero enthusiasm from my area.
I will be voting in the afternoon but I will be making sure to walk my dogs by the voting location during the post workday rush (5:30-6pm) to gauge turnout. I'll update this thread twice later today, once after voting and once after I walk by the voting location for the post work rush.
USUALLY, high turnout is a bad sign for Republicans in my area. So I will be watching crowd size today carefully.
I've lived in this neighborhood for 20 years. There are more Harris/Walz signs than any other Presidential election year since I've been here. Even more than Obama. Now, of course this is unique in that Walz is the governor of Minnesota.
