I live in Virginia and voted straight Democrat as always. There was a line in my small precinct in this red area, which is unusual at 9:30 in the morning. Not sure what that bodes but hopefully a Spanberger victory even though this area is usually reliably the other way. No kind of Shitler interference noted. The bunch outside were friendly and chatty with one another, even though obviously with different sides.
How about y'all? If there was an election where you are, how was the turnout? Was there any interference?

We were in the early teens shortly after polls opened.

(13,384 posts)Raising hotel taxes on tourists and using the money to fix up downtown, it actually is nonpartisan and both sides want yes.
So I voted yes. And since we are 100% by mail, I drove to voting office and put in drop box last week.

Not a huge crowd but at least one check in person was busy all the time. So steady
Despite the fact my property taxes will go up I voted for the tax levies because the programs supported by the levy are essential to the good of our community. My budget really wanted me to say no though 😐

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
