I saw one woman and at the polling place my husband went to there was one man wearing American flag tshirts, that was it, nothing with anything overt. Between us we saw over 200 folks, all voting peacefully with no drama. I was talking to the security guard and he said at this polling place, they usually averaged 400 people on the first day of early voting but would probably end the day at around 3000 this year.

I do know the drumpf signs have all of a sudden proliferated, there are now 6 on our regular walk route where before the weekend there were only 2, so I would be concerned about that except I always figured the repugs would steal FL, they do it every time with one trickery or another. Dems have to win without FL to take the country.

GOP can't tell though how many defections it is going to get and indies will go Biden. sunonmars Oct 2020 #3
Wouldn't bet on that. A lot of Dems decided to vote in person rather than trust the Post Office or highplainsdem Oct 2020 #4
I suppose Republicans have to pin their hopes on something. Laelth Oct 2020 #5
Concur, but since FL will be one of the states to early report, it sure would be nice... SKKY Oct 2020 #10
