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'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.
