And it's not 6 am yet.

It's not too cold and will be really nice all day.

1. Sane people or deplorables?

[leftyladyfrommo]

3. No way to know.

But the guy doing the fruit and veggies at Price Chopper told me that people were just sick of all this and I think he might be right.

10. There's no early and voting here so we know it's a mixed crowd

2. For reference, HRC won Jackson county

in 2016 with 55.7% to 39% and 6% 3rd party.

4. St.Louis will go Democratic, too. I hope.

It's the rural areas that are the problem.

14. Just drove back by the polling place.

There is a big parking lot and it's full. Crowds are still really big.

22. We showed up at our polling place in St. Louis at 5:45 this morning

We vote when the polls open every presidential election. There are usually 15-20 people in front of us. There were more than 100 this morning. By the time we voted the line stretched into a nearby park. Our precinct is heavily Democratic. Last presidential election it was 83% dem. Turnout was substantially heavier than four years ago.

5. Missouri may offer some surprises today if turn out explodes in St Louis and KCMO areas

6. I'm hoping for similar results with Tulsa and OKC in Okla. n/t

[leftyladyfrommo]

7. I hope so. Evetone where I eat breakfast hates Trump

with a passion. But there are Trumpers around. They spout off on the Neighborhood site. They usually get drowned out pretty fast.

8. Go Kansas City! Bring those rural areas along with you and paint MO BLUE!

9. Is cold here in independence, line from back of church to side walk

... we can do better than this America we shouldn't have to wait this long to vote this place is packed

[leftyladyfrommo]

12. Prople here in KCNorth were all bundled up. nt

[uponit7771]

13. A LOT of under 30 here, line moving faster now

[MuseRider]

15. My son is going in to KCMO

to vote today. I hope he gets up soon so he can get in line. I hope it warms up enough so you can be really comfy while you wait.

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. It's going to be 70 with no wind. nt

[MuseRider]

17. Perfect day!

He will be leaving here pretty soon to drive in. I think he told me that you could also vote at Arrowhead Stadium? I think he wanted to do that but was going to try his voting place first. Lol, it is wonderful that there are so many options. Unless I heard wrong that is! Enjoy your voting. We did earlier.

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. I voted early in Liberty. I'm glad I did. nt

[MuseRider]

19. He just told me

that they changed his voting place last week so it is a larger building on The Paseo. They are expecting a lot more votes than usual.

18. Checking in from the Northland

I voted a couple of weeks ago absentee but wanted to check in and say Hey from Liberty (Trumpland). Not expecting us to win MO tonight but that would be a great surprise!

[leftyladyfrommo]

21. I always feel like my vote is futile. Maybe not this time.

I am at Vivion and N. Oak.

[cbdo2007]

23. Yep, I always bring up that Obama only lost MO by 5,000 votes in 2008, so it is possible.

It all comes down to voter turnout and there are a ton of people out there who hate Trump.

24. I remember the days when Missouri was a bellwether state

That was a while ago!
