MDC 5,891 Posted November 6, 2018 Turnout seems huge just based on the crowds out front of every polling place I passed this AM. I will probably vote after work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimmySmith 2,782 Posted November 6, 2018 I think that is unreasonable There will certainly be people facing much worse lines today. Election day is maybe the only day of the year (every 2 years) that truly should be a national holiday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fandandy 3,311 Posted November 6, 2018 Absentee ballots are easy to get where I live and much much more convenient. Have any of you tried to get one in the past? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 824 Posted November 6, 2018 It took me 45 minutes or so to vote early on Friday. The number of people there was very comparable to what I experienced on the Tuesday two years ago. The best news is it seems safe to say we will crush the turnout record for any midterm election, and I wouldnt be surprised if this number at least pushes that of the 2016 election.

NorthernVike 2,080 Posted November 6, 2018 High turnout favors whom? Dems trying to make a change or Repubs showing up to defend what is there's? I'm thinking the latter. Normally the party in control has a hard time energizing their base but I don't see that here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthernVike 2,080 Posted November 6, 2018 Living out in the country has it's advantage. In my township, you have to vote by mail. No lines. It's rather nice. But I don't get the little sticker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normally the party in control has a hard time energizing their base but I don't see that here. As long as the votes are legit, we should all favor a high turnout. It gives us the best chance of cutting through some of the noise and actually determining how this country wants to move forward. I obviously am of the belief that people arent on board with the tone and posture the country has taken on. You feel the opposite. Today we get a sneak preview on the result, but I would assume we will all admit we wont fully know how the country truly feels until 2020. This is the peak (I hope) of the Culture War, and lets face it, Trumps re-election will be the referendum on how we as a whole feel about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 4,033 Posted November 6, 2018 Apparently I don't vote until tomorrow...when I got to the polling place there was a guy outside and said to make things quicker they are doing Republicans today and Democrats tomorrow. So that's cool, cause the Republican line looked really long. The best part of all this, that lady who gave me the cigs and lottery tickets for voting---is going to have to do it again tomorrow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iam90sbaby 2,125 Posted November 6, 2018 I'm voting Democrat because I'm black! I'm voting Democrat because I'm gay! I'm voting Democrat because I have a Muslim friend! I'm voting Democrat because I'm a woman! -Every single D voter. No voting for someone because of their policies. Just 100% straight identity politics. Peenie is a perfect example of this, she is voting for a black woman simply because she is a black woman. It has nothing to do with her policies or personal responsibility (the lady is in a massive amount of debt and Georgia will be too if she wins). You go girl!

peenie 1,690 Posted November 6, 2018 the lady is in a massive amount of debt and Georgia will be too if she wins That is true, I'm not for the spending. Ironically, he wants to pay teachers a higher salary. That alone would get my vote. BUT...he isn't for expanding the MARTA (train). And....he isn't green. And do we really need stricter abortion?

You are just trying to justify voting for someone based on one reason and one reason only, their skin color. You don't care about anything so don't try to to play it off like you do.
