2 more hours left to vote in NYS.

Turnout reporsta all over the state are very low. We might not break a million votes.

1. I had my own welcoming committee at my polling place. They actually clapped when I walked in.

I was entirely alone...my boyfriend went a little later and there were 2 people voting besides him.

2. I was number 21 at my desk at 2pm.

3. OMG that's depressing.

I didn't ask what my number was but I'm 30 miles north of you so I am assuming your turnout tends to be more robust than mine.

4. The city of Rochester was reporting 7.2% turnout at 5 pm.

5. We were 23 and 24 at around 2pm...

... but since I'm in very rural upstate that's actually a *good* number (and we didn't open until noon). And we passed one other voter going in and 2 going out, which on primary day before 5 pm is almost unheard of.

Of course, odds were that most of the folks who got there before us were Republican. It's an odd thing, living in the red zone of a blue state. Easy to feel that our votes don't count for a whole lot. But spouse and I still go do it anyway, every time. Not sure if that's dedication or futility, but...

6. Just a sad feeling when this happens.
