Democrat enthusiasm?

So I know some of you live in (D) districts and go to (D) oriented sites. What is the turnout and enthusiasm level? Curious as my district is pretty solid (R) so I only see half of the turnout story.

 

You're interested in the D?

 

Yep, be interesting to hear from honest people vs the media. In the end the tally is what it is including the dead folks that got out

 

I honestly don't know what ours is. It's a very rural county heavy in farming, but also lots of brown skinned folks that goes along with all that farming. I haven't been yet, going after 1, but my wife just said the line is as large as she's ever seen it. That includes presidential elections. Just a county firehouse. Normally you walk in and you're out in 5 mins. She said the line is out the door. That's never happened.

 

If I ever get up to the voting location I'll let you know.
Word is it's supposed to be major turnout but that might mean you have to wait 5 minutes to vote.

 

That's like, pushing it for you.

 

Folks in a meeting I just attended said there were lines or 100 people out the door early (before work) don't know how they look now.

 

Around here, early voting is all the rage. People act like we're a (D) city now, but I have a feeling things aren't going the way people think. Doesn't matter to me as long as Marsha Blackburn doesn't win.

 

Longest line I have seen for a non-presidential election. Our D congressman will win with between 70% and 80% of the vote to tell you how blue this district is. With that said, I did not see the vans pulling up and handing out D sample ballots to the passengers like I did in 2012 and 2016.

Most of my local area Facebook friends vote and are enthusiastic and most will vote anti-Trump. Most are in districts like mine where it is not a close race. Even in the Senate projects.fivethirtyeight.com has Stewart's chance as 1 in 80. The Libertarian Matt Water's chances are sadly even less.

 

I was at my polling station at 5;55 this morning...probably about 30th in line. When I finished at about 6:15 there was maybe 50 people waiting to show their ID's. My wife went at 7ish and she said there was close to 100 people total and she waited in a line about 20 deep just for the booths to fill out her ballot. We live in a suburban area and this is the most people I've seen participating at that time since 2008. My district leans Democrat but for all my liberal musings in the Dungeon, I voted probably 60/40 Democrat on my entire ballot.

 

I'm not voting anti trump or anti pelosi or anti any of that shit. I'm voting pro Dave K. What's best for me in the short and long term, f@ck the party lines.

 

I live in a very heavily democrat area of KC and I've never seen lines like today, to include when Obama was on the Ballot.

 

No lines, no waiting when I hit the polls.

Of course Mr. Roll-Checker asked me my name instead of even looking up at me to see I was holding my drivers license out for him to verify my identity (such a hardship, finding my face amongst all those green pieces of paper with other people's faces on them ).

First time I ever voted a straight ticket.

 

theyre all dead Jim. [on paper]

 

Amazing turnout here. Not only was the lot full but they were cranking people through. Hand them ID it scans finds you and off you go. No more getting in your letter line and having them flip through the list. GO voter ID

 

Racist.

 

And yet the young fellow helping me was black as were the man his wife in front of me who had zero issues also

 

I never understood how ensuring the integrity of the vote could be racist in this day and age. 60 years ago, maybe, if we refused to help people obtain a proper ID.
