Election Turnout

high voter turnout here in VA
 
Hey, you know that famous line by Obama?

Don't boo - VOTE!

It's being reported by MSNBC "Trump was booed by his own precinct voters who were in line."

Turns out you can do both at the same time.

:lol:
 
Our polling place was mobbed. Never have seen it so busy. Parking lot completely full. People parking along the roadway and in the corn
fields. Drove into the parking lot and it was almost impossible to get through the lot. Cars parked in every direction. There were 3 lines coming out the entry door
to correspond to the 3 station where you check in to vote. I am guessing a few hundred people in line waiting. Usually when we vote you walk in, check in and then vote.
Just a couple minutes and you are finished. Decided to go back later today after the lines die down. Tonight at about 4 to 5 it will be much busier when the people who work
in Maryland arrive to vote. Giant turn out here. Southern PA

Update

Went back at about 11:00 and the lines were smaller but there were still lines. I was able to park in the parking lot.
There was an election person outside controlling the lines and directing people into the building. I waited about 15 minutes
till I was able to vote. Had no problem with the voting machine just confirmed my selection at the end of the process.
For the amount of people voting I think things were going as well as they could. I had voter number 691 usually in the 100's
for a normal election. Tonight will be a zoo with the after work voting.

As crazy as this election has been I am so, so thankful to be an American citizen and live in the United States.
We have so many freedoms that we take for granted!

What do you want to bet it's was paid thugs from Crooked Hillary campaign. New York city is as blue as they come.
Google this and see how many hits you get. That is not by chance.
 
I can't vote legally because I'm Canadian, however, my wife went this morning before work and called me when she got to work and said that there were lines down the street, Trump Pence signs everywhere, and this is Rochester, NY. Granted Western NY is fairly conservative, it's the East of Albany crowd that decides elections for New Yorkers.. Funny thing is that all this cycle I didn't see much in the way of signs from either candidate, but wife says she saw hundreds of them whilst in line. I know NY will not go Trump, but man could you imagine? Pollsters ignore NY and have pretty much since the primaries, maybe, just maybe we'll see it pretty close. If Trump can win 40 - 45% of the vote in NY I'd say that this would be a pretty good indicator of how things will go fro Trump overall.

Voted first week of early voting, took about an hour.
Wife and daughter voted second week of early voting, said about 10 or 15 minutes.

I go right by the early voting site almost every day. The first week had lines out of the building every day. The second week no lines were out of the building, but could have snaked around inside and my family got lucky when they went, no way of telling.
