Post your Voting Anecdotes [View all]

Voted this morning here in Grand Rapids MI.

I live in the outskirts, middle class to upper middle class. 2 precincts vote at my site. My precinct is higher income and more 50-50, the other precinct is more blue collar and more 75-25 Dem. Just like in 2020, the other precinct's line was twice as long.

Also, women outnumbered men, might not have been 2-1, but it was definitely at least 3-2.

Remember to fill out both sides of your ballot. In MI, the ballot initiatives are on the back.

Also, turnout at my location was very heavy, similar to 2020.
