I voted! How about you?

[Jilly_in_VA]

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?

1. Days ago. Nobody there except me and another weird dude.

[Alice B.]

2. Yes, along with family in PA

And h*ll yes to retaining our justices. Though there was a sign outside our polling place advising conservatives to the contrary.

We were in the early teens shortly after polls opened.

3. I'll walk over to my polling place later this morning.

Mayor, city council and park board elections in Minneapolis, not big news elsewhere.

4. Yes! Spouse and I just voted in PA. Was steady for an off year

Dems are ahead in mail-in ballots but Republicans show up on Election Day. Still hoping for good results regarding the judge retention.

5. Nope, no election today in Indiana.

[EverHopeful]

6. Yes and had, I think, the second longest wait in decades here in NYC

No issues and very knowledgeable, friendly poll workers as usual.

Also got to meet an adorable little pomeranian while we waited.

7. Dropped my ballot in the box Saturday! nt

8. I dropped off my "YES ON PROP 50" ballot a while back. Forgot when!

And got confirmation from BallotTrax that it was counted.

9. We only had one local question about

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.

10. I just got back from voting here in Austin.

It was all propositions.

A couple of them looked like fishy power grabs
by the state -- AGAINST.

[Dave in VA]

11. Yep

a month ago. Absentee ballot placed in drop box outside registrar's office. Go Blue!

[zeusdogmom]

12. Voted in Ohio.

All local stuff.

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 😐

13. I am a DUer though not an American

I did get my PhD in the US and retain a fondness for the country. And so I am happy for you tonight.

Don’t worry Kash Patel etc. I have absolutely no intention of ever even visiting the US again..the brushes I had with liberal and conservative types in tech ensured that. I merely comment on US politics like other longtime DUers from Australia, the UK etc. I am in the global south though.

Wouldn’t want EarlG getting hounded over bs about “mules” or “foreign interference”. Yeah an environmentalist/catlady commenting on progressive politics out of interest from half way around the world is “foreign interference”.

I am not even an “influencer” (whatever the fuck that is).

Its merely that I care about anything that affects my beloved planet. FWIW I also dislike Jair Bolsanaro and that creep in Argentina (Millei?) etc.

Even these truly innocuous actions are ones that under Trump can be portrayed as sinister …lame..
