12:15 EDT: Anyone else see Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell just now?

[hedgehog]

I think I heard them mumble that turnout is very high, then rush on to say that that doesn't mean anything, and we should all wait until the votes get counted tonight.

1. It's high here in my little town

Maybe we just went in at a busy time but more people voting today then I saw for the presidential election.10:00 when we arrived.

Western South Dakota

2. Mine is going to be empty, it always is.

[2naSalit]

3. Hmmm

that smells pretty fishy. I suspect that some form of manipulation is taking place but I haven't been able to identify just exactly what it is... could be an array of things taht aren't good for the nation. I am highly suspicious of what we will be hearing over the next several hours.

Like John Prine once said, "...Blow up your TeeVee..."

[Sadie5]

4. Mine was empty

I was the only one there at the time but it was just before noon.

[RoverSuswade]

5. Heavy! I've never had to stand in a long line before.

Except for one college-age kid they all looked like Fox viewers to me. Scary.

[hedgehog]

6. I'm glad to hear the turnout reports, but I was hoping someone

could tell me if I heard what I thought I heard. It sounded like someone has seen some exit polling that doesn't match up with the narrative of an anti-Obama, Republican Senate.

[Robbins]

8. Good turnout

Doesn't help Republicans.Especilly good turnout by Blacks and other minoritys.

[hedgehog]

9. Exactly. I'm thinking (hoping) the GOTV is working for us.

[katmondoo]

7. I have MSNBC on mute

I take a peek now and again to see the headlines. I still feel we will win, just hoping I am not wrong.

[Trajan]

10. Too bad we can't vote Chuckie out of his seat at MTP

He would be gone in a NY minute ...

[LonghornJack]

11. Reports of Turnout in Other Venues?

I've heard reports of heavy (or above-average) minority turnout in Georgia and some polling places in Kentucky.

Here's a link to a report of minority turnout in Kentucky:

Any other DUers out there with turnout information today?

[hedgehog]

12. There's a lot of anecdotal info on various threads -

most people indicate higher than normal turnouts.

[workinclasszero]

13. If true is not that good news for democrats?

I hope so

[jehop61]

14. Here in rural, republican Michigan

it's very heavy. Let's hope my neighbors have had enough of Snyder.

[frazzled]

15. It seemed pretty good at my polling place as well

Although it's a little hard to tell: starting this year, we got a new polling place, just for our precinct. Before, we voted at a large union hall that accommodated 4 different precincts together.

That said, we went at a dead time (about a quarter to 11 this morning), and there were quite a few people streaming in and at the voting booths. The workers said it had been steady all morning. It was a heck of a lot busier than during the March primaries, where we were the only ones in the place!!

16. Mine was pretty empty

I voted about 11 and there were very few people there I live in New York and a liberal district so my vote doesn't count as much as people in key races. I hope we win. I know New York will remain blue

[NYFlip]

17. Sorry meant to reply to original post

[LonghornJack]

20. What is your Location?

Just curious.

[Blue Idaho]

18. Not exactly a Mensus meeting there...

Talk about a confederacy of dunces! I did see the segment - it was pure stupid in an echo chamber.

[hedgehog]

19. Did you catch a whiff of desperation, or was that just me?

Hard to keep that rep as an expert if things don't go as you predicted.....

[Blue Idaho]

22. Yup - it wasn't just you...

The lame stream media has been trying to sell a TeaPublican wave for months but the facts just don't fit the film-flam they are trying to sell.

These two looked like making things up as they went along.

[a kennedy]

21. I voted around 10:30am and I was #40 in our little city, of 320.

I knew all the workers, and asked about turn out, and they said it was high, can't remember the presidential election number I was, but the poll workers did say turn out is high this time around.

[oldandhappy]

23. If Todd is going to be part of the all evening line up I will

watch PBS. May watch them anyway, or flip back and forth.

[quaker bill]

24. turnout was very low here

but I vote in a fairly red precinct here in FL, so I take the small number as a good thing.

[PAProgressive28]

25. Roughly 1,000 people registered at my polling place

I was #749
