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 started this thread so wanted to share some updates.
Wife voted in NE Minneapolis at 2:30 PM. No line.
Son and I walked over at 4pm. One person ahead of us. Put my ballot through that damn machine. Said that only 1070 votes had been tabulated for the precinct. It showed an "expected vote total" on the screen of 15000.
All of the workers looked like they were sitting at table 9 from the Wedding Singer. I asked one about the vote count. She shrugged and said that lots more people would be here after work. She added that she worked the polls 4 years ago and that our precinct had a 90% vote rate.
I'm in deep blue Minneapolis so hopefully that doesn't hold true.
I made sure to walk by the voting place when I walked my pups tonight at 5:30 and it was dead. 4 cars total. Let's hope it stays quiet.
Fuck Minneapolis.
