We voted this morning in southern Illinois---hand-delivered our mail-in ballots to the clerk. We

made photocopies of both our exterior "mail-in" envelope and the interior "secrecy" envelope and had both stamped to show date of receipt by Clerk. Our county is counting these nearly "as received". They count in 3-day batches.

Clerk said the expect to have county totals by 7:00 p.m. on November 3rd. That's just an hour after the pills will close.

Maybe, just maybe, "only" 2 out of 3 of my neighbors will vote for Trump. Over 3 out of 4 did in 2016.

here in central Illinois not quite as bad though our county did go to trump by 5 or 6pts in 2016. Do not think that will be the case, A distinct lack of trump signs in our area
