When I hear stories of people waiting in long lines to vote, I realize how lucky I am to live in a state with early voting.

I had to wait in a long line at early voting here in Naples on Oct. 25. 45 minutes plus.

Should also feel pissed that there are states where they don't give the resources to let everyone vote easily and quickly.

It’s not a reliable poll or anything, just what I’m seeing/hearing day to day.


The question is where are you hearing it? There are highly Republican areas in NJ after all. Also, I don't think many voting for Menendez are bragging about it.

The are a ton of republican areas in NJ. Luckily, most of those big areas are shore towns, farm land, and mountains.

Got back from voting, lots of Jess King support, think she falls just short but it was a good effort even if she does.

Most people I know live in the NJ 3rd and 1st districts. The 3rd is kind of a swing district. The 1st is hard blue overall, but has some right leaning areas.

I don’t know what’s going to happen, but Hugin has blasted ads and they seem to be effective in general with the white suburban crowd.

I did not see any voters being bussed in by Soros when I voted. They must have already been there and are on to the next location.

at 1PM I was #555 of 1400. Lower than I had thought it would be.

Got there around 2:30 and was #203 in ward 01 / district 01. My sticker fell off at some point on the walk home :(

I think I convinced my mom to 1) actually vote, and 2) vote straight Democrat, which should at least cancel out my dad's votes :)
Another day, another box of stolen pens.

If Kemp wins by a razor thin margin you can chalk it up to the intentional disenfranchisement of brown people. The polls were down for FOUR HOURS from 7:00 and 11:00 and the county's response is to keep the polls open an extra 25 minutes.

I will be very nervous to see if we just allow a blatant stealing of an election. Kemp has invalidated any close victory of his own by his shenanigans and outright suppression.

Don't forget about Kobach!

538's final deluxe forecast has it at an exact tie.

I learned my mom voted for Hugin. Hopefully she's an outlier. I proudly voted for scumbag Menendez

Well, we could if the person in charge of running the election cared or wanted them to work.

It is criminal what is going on in Georgia.
