In 30 years I have never seen my polling place so packed for ANY election. Im in Georgias 6th in a location that has been transitioning from red to purple. 30+ min lines in the rain when normally there is no wait.
I AM LIKING WHAT I AM SEEING!!!

She is voting.
All five of us are voting to block Trump.
You obviously have a terrific family. Smart and savvy. Thank you for raising them correctly.

(9,426 posts)The Beloit Daily News is supporting him, after all the damage he has done to Wi. According to them, "both sides" keep records secret, and flim flam the public. I am disgusted at this.

We are just over the border in McHenry county, IL. Both our sons attended Carthage College in Kenosha, where they were on the college soccer team together, and my favorite aunt lived in Hales Corners for many years, so I hold a loving spot for WI in my heart.

(9,426 posts)We lived in Beloit for 25 years, kids attended schools there, so I am interested in what goes on. I subscribe to the Beloit Daily News, even though it is clearly republican. I am hoping Rauner is "kicked to the curb" today, too. Another self serving politician.

He has such a flat, mechanical delivery when he speaks. I watched one debate, this first one, I think, and he was so dull to listen to it almost seemed like he was on some sort of downer drug.

(19,060 posts)At my polling station it was 3 or 4 to 1 women outnumbering men. I live in an area that is probably 50-50. This was mostly women under 40, was really striking who was voting. Sample size would be about 200 people who were in the 2 lines at my station. I counted several parts of the line. 3-1 or 4-1.

(23,097 posts)By the time I was able to find a space to park the line waiting to vote was way out the door. I had to go to make sure the precinct opened on time and no issues, then came home to get changed for a dr. appt. then back to more poll watching through the end of the day. I wasn't going to poll watch at all today because of my appt., but they couldn't get anyone else so we agreed to this split shift. I was busy calling for GOTV last night, then stayed for some wine and talk. I might be so tired tonight that I can sleep even if I am anxious about a few races.

The only way to get anything out of life is by giving.
I live in a small red town in Pa. but I feel the tsunami. Our deacon gave the sermon last Sunday and he tied voting with love of neighbor. I was so proud of his sermon I made a point to praise him for giving it. He told me his only regret was not being able to give it to more people.
I could feel the difference when I voted today, I could feel and hear the tsunami. Only 2 people were standing out in the rain at our polling place, Democrats with a billboard showing our Democratic candidates. I saw younger voters that I have never seen vote before, I have never felt so positive before in the outcome of an election. There is no stopping the blue tsunami.
