Early voted last week as I always try to do. Took all of seven minutes. Only two times did I stop moving…for the lady to print my ballot and to scratch out the black marks in the ovals.
I dropped my ballot off by mail two weeks ago. No line at the post office. Took my daughter to drop her ballot off at an early polling location on Saturday. No line, but steady stream of people. Same story at the location next to my son's Elementary School this morning. Parking lot was about 75% full. Estimates in Arizona is 55% of people have voted early and will be counted in the first release, scheduled for around 10:00 PM Eastern tonight.
My state doesn't allow early voting (Alabama). Huge line this morning, had to bail out to get to work late. Will go back and try again in the afternoon.
Driving through rural PA this morning and the line was several miles long stretching into the adjacent county, which is also quite rural.
Voted by mail except I hand delivered my ballot to the Supervisor of Elections' Office. I checked online, by ballot has been counted. Go Blue and 3 and 4.
I thought about telling them I didn't have a drivers license but my name was Manuel Gonzales from Mexico to see if they would let me vote.
voted this am. much shorter lines than anything I saw when I drove by the limited number of early voting places here. saw more women than men, saw 3 sets of what appeared to be mother daughter, saw several young women not typical to see at voting time. Learned that in florida you can wear whatever political slogan you want into the polling place and even hang around outside and talk politics with your fellow trump supporters right outside the entry wearing hats and shirts..
As busy as I’ve seen it in 10 years living in this precinct. It took almost 90 seconds to get through the line, show my ID, verbally confirm name and address, and take my ballot to the booth. ETA: There was a young man next to me when I was checking in who was really trying to get the poll worker to let him vote without proper ID. He was smug about it, and had all sorts of unacceptable documents but none of the large handful of acceptable ones. My suspicion (and I think the poll worker’s as well) was that the local Pubs were up to the kind of tricks they’ve tried on past occasions, to create social media content questioning the integrity of local election. The problem for them is that poll workers around here tend to be smart and very well trained. She was having none of it, so he left.
I don't think that's a law in Florida, you can wear political clothes and accessories, you just can't "campaign" within 150 feet. Open to interpretation what "campaign" means.
Just happened to run by my precinct on the morning run. Decent number of people going in and out. No lines. I'm in Northern Va and I think the majority of people voted early. I think that is why the voting total percentage in VA are so high already this morning.
I just voted at 11 local time and I was #110 to vote this morning. That was Higher than normal for this time of day
I put this on a different thread and then saw this thread: Info on the ground from 10 am this morning in Atlanta. Two Buckhead polling locations 1) Buckhead Library center of Buckhead and 2)Library on Northside Parkway just south of West Paces Ferry OK Cafe Both locations around 10 am had absolutely no lines to vote. I had already voted early but drove by on way to work.
Rural Putnam County this am at 7. There about 10 minutes early, about 30 people started to line up at 7, 2/3 men. Was in and out since I was up front in line and #2 at to turn in ballot, about 15 waiting to get in when I was done.
I mentioned it in another thread, but second busiest it’s been for me here, and I have had the same polling place for about 11 years. Funny thing though, someone stands there and watches you put your ballot into the scanner, the guy gave me a Go Gators.
