Living in a dream User ID: 77097020 United States 11/06/2018 06:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The poll workers said they think it was almost 100% turnout. This is a heavily Republican area so that's great. I went past this morning on my way to work a few minutes after 7 when they opened and the parking lot was full. It wasn't that busy when Trump was elected. No problems as usual. I just don't trust the electronic voting machines. We are eternal... All this pain is an illusion |

User ID: 58360506 United States 11/06/2018 06:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We live in a very rural area in NW Wisconsin with approx. 450 total registered voters. I was # 380 on the machine and the lady at the desk said it was the biggest turn out ever. They also had a ton of paper ballots and absentee ballots in the box. I bet we were close to 100 % turnout |

User ID: 76783046 United States 11/06/2018 06:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In Wyoming, no problems at the polls. I got lots of comments on my red, white and blue (stars and stripes) leather jacket. They thought it was appropriate for election day. Fewer machines than usual, but still only 10 minutes to vote. About average number of people at the polls. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage.

Voter FRAUD. Just emailed Fox News Local. Vegas hires mostly incompetent poll workers who are very poorly trained, and not physically nor mentally capable of doing their jobs. At least there were about 3 good workers. Went early afternoon. Lines were less than an hour. Poll worker said he'd NEVER seen it so long. No one was allowed to take a break either. |

User ID: 19430753 United States 11/06/2018 06:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for starting this OP. Here's what I had posted earlier. I'm in California. Quoting: Paul Drake This year we received a postcard from our official California voter people. It said that we live in a precinct with less than 250 registered voters so we HAD to vote by mail this year. When we look up online for our polling place, we are met with the same information online - no polling place. Our polling place has always been 3 houses away from us (across the street) and we generally handcarry our ballots there, or surrender and vote on premises, just to make sure our vote is counted on the day, and not in a month (or never for all we know). Its nice to see neighbors and chat about the voting turn out, etc. With a city of over 65,000 people I wanted to see a precinct map, still unable to comprehend how there are only 250 registered voters in our precinct. Well woke up this morning to a street full of parked cars - look across the street and guess what - there is the same old polling place up and running! What in Sam Hell is going on here? Second issue - my son was issued a vote by mail ballot - he lives about a mile from me - his ballot never showed up so he wrote the voting folks, who suspended his original ballot and reissued another ballot to him. It took 7 business days for this new ballot to arrive - which actually arrived yesterday in his mailbox. The cutoff date to have it in the mail was..... YESTERDAY! If he had been unable to get around he couldn't just mail his ballot back through his mailman - and by the time he got home from work and voted on his ballot it was 5:30 at night - on a whim I drove him out to the post office and luckily they stayed open until 6 pm and we handed that ballot to a post office worker instead of putting in a bin somewhere that might not have been postmarked in time had we done that. He said 'mom I swear this is designed so I can't vote'. I think he's right. I'll post again after I visit our neighbors who hold the polling place. Honestly right now I'm very pissed off that we were treated differently than other folks. Something up with that!!! Our polling place in our area was also changed! The lady at the number I called to find out where to go swore up and down that she'd taken out ads in the paper, (which we don't get) and had ads running during the noon farm ag report on the local radio,(we don't have a reason to listen to). Once at the NEW place, it was packed. No, I can't have a paper ballot, no, the machine didn't issue receipts. I made very sure that the screen had not flipped my votes only to forget that I had to check that damn paper roll to the side to make sure that jived with the screen. I AM PISSED! It SUX to have to be so CAREFUL about voting in the good ole U.S. of A. where voting should be honest, easy and above-board. You people need to start voting absentee. You go online to request to have your ballot mailed to you, you fill it out & mail it back. Easy Peasy. I voted red absentee 6 weeks ago. |

No way to know if that ballot isn't at the bottom of a ditch somewhere. Quoting: Deplorably Charlotte Registered D since age 18...and never voted R until I registered R for 2016 primaries (required here). First time I ever voted straight R across the board was this election. We will deal with RINOs afterward. Looking forward to seeing Blumenthal in orange, and the D party purged of it's communist subversives, in time. Built it all back up from scratch with Patriots of all colors and persuasions. Will remain a registered R to vote in the 2020 primary to Keep America Great. CT people, vote Stefanowski for governor.. (Malloy v2.0) Lamont cannot get his foot in that door. Biden was just in Hartford stumping for that piece of globalist garbage. HA HA! I started reading your post and said "oh yeah, me too!" and then your second line "bottom of a ditch" cracked me up here! Still laughing! OMG..reading second line, me too. Dad was a democrat (mom too), always said Democrats are for the people, Republicans for businesses. Well, we didn't own any businesses (Dad was a mailman) so always voted Dem. Just switched this year to Independent (fuck 'em - no one gets me!) but voted straight red.

"Fuck dude, we should bail. This line is too long." Some lady told everyone to put up their cell phones, which was the #1 thing to do to make idiot college kids lose patience.
