[quote:Zedakah:MV8zOTI3Njg0XzcwODg0NDY1XzVENTcxNTFD] Just voted in a liberal stronghold in northwest Alabama. I'm pretty good at spotting democrats and republican voters just by appearance (liberals sometimes make it painfully obvious). Typically, I see about a 70%-30% split favoring democrats voting in my district. Today, it was the opposite. I saw multiple people in full military fatigues (I did see one of them voted republican, because I put my ballot in right after him). I saw a LOT of really old people and hardly any younger people. Some of them had MAGA hats on. I saw some well dressed younger women, which could go either way. And I saw only a small handful of the "angry-lesbian" types. Those actually make up a large portion of people in my district. I also saw less minorities than usual as well, including one black man with a smile on his face and a MAGA hat. [/quote]

Already saw two posts today’s that were interesting, to say the least.
One, someone wrote their daughter in CT went in to vote and noticed TWO others listed at their address on the list. The person lives alone....poll workers marked the entries if the people try to come in today and vote they will be stopped. Then said a murmur ran through the workers as they noticed a few other “duplicates” too.
She also commented that there ARMED POLICE there. Maybe expecting some trouble today. Makes me think of the early days in Iraq after the war, when people literally took their lives in their hands for the privilege of participating in the democratic process of voting. How the hell did America slide this far Way from oir basic beliefs?
Anyway, more on topic: I just thought we needed a thread to keep track of what’s going on at polling stations around the country Tell us where you are (you can just put the state if you want to maintain your anonymity),what you saw or experienced and how busy it was.
I voted early to avoid the polls but I expect there will be plenty of folks with “a story of their experiences” today!
