    Curious what everyone is seeing at their polling location. Let us know. Was it crowded or have a long line? How quickly was it moving?

    I voted early and there was no line, so it was pretty fast.

    Early voted. Took less than ten minutes to park, register and vote.

    When I took my mom to early voting, she was the only voter. So far, Georgia is taking care of their white suburbia voters.

    Early voted - twice. There was a small line last week.

    I accidentally spoiled my ballot when my wife called me for directions to the location. Had to silence the call and a stray mark went on Robinson for Governor. Disaster.

    PSA - local news reported that Georgia is seeing mysterious voter address changes during early voting. If the frequency of this is high, it will create delays for everyone.

    Georgia residents may check their registration status and address here:

    Elections Portal

    Maybe folks can pipe in with their state's status pages?

    Voted early in Wake County NC. Checked the website on wait times at the polls near me, and the closest had a 2 hour wait. One about 20 minutes away said it had no wait. So I went there to find it actually had a 30 minute wait.

    I said Forget it and left. Who has time for that?

    Just kidding. I waited and voted straight ticket Blue.

    Voted early in Santa Rosa County.

    Website said <15 minute wait at all locations. We waited in a line for 90 minutes.

    Raining. The greatest voter suppresser from the makers of space lasers and weather controllers.

    I saw two red hats. But turned out to be a false alarm. They were just random red hats.

    Weather map right now.

    Rain in Houston, St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Chicago. Clear election interference by the weather controllers!

    Don’t sleep on my prediction. Weather will be blamed.

    This is what they do when burst pipes aren’t gonna do it.

    Took about 45 minutes to early vote a week ago. 3 lines. 1 line to get in the bldg, line inside the bldg to get ballot, 3rd line to use the voting machines.
    Stood in the first line just in front of a fellow citizen wearing a trump hat - no one made him take it off or even mentioned it. We all lived over it. Another local parked his truck outside Walmart yesterday afternoon, hung trump signs all over it, and stood in the bed waving a US flag and a trump flag with much gusto. If trump gets less than 60% in this county it will be a moral victory for Harris.

    I did not vote for Robinson and blame it on my wife.

    Funny. I tried to show my ballot to the scanning guy to see if the stray mark would matter... he said loudly "Dear God man, dont show me your ballot!" like a vampire having garlic stuck in his face. Told me to scan it and see. Ballot failed. Wife off the hook. Voted again.

    Sounds like workers in California when voters try to show their ID.

    As a PSA to my fellow Trumpeteers, I have been told by a very good source that the lines to vote tomorrow will be very small, so don’t bother trudging through the bad weather and waiting in lines today. Trust me … you’ll thank me tomorrow.

    Voted last week in Jax. There was a steady line of people voting, but there was no wait. Lots of volunteers, lots of stations.
    The volunteers, by the way, were all very friendly and helpful. Nice experience.

    On Saturday we dropped our ballots in the same box Tina Peters failed to empty and tally contents from in a Mesa County election 6 years ago. It's immediately outside the entrance to the bldg housing the offices of the county's supervisor of elections.
