Post any election day news you have on turnout reports, voting problems, and last minute dirty tricks in this thread.  There will be separate threads later for exit poll #s and election results.

For something to talk about right now, here's the current national weather map:

Weather looks great, so turnout shouldn't be affected much. Gonna be an old fashioned GOTV boxing match.

Something to think about:

I noticed that one person voted by absentee in Dixville Notch.

If just one person voted absentee and it was counted there at midnight at the precinct and not at the district or state level, how is the secrecy of vote guaranteed for that person ? The vote counters will know who that person is and how that person voted, no ?

I think it's likely in a place that small, that the how people vote is probably well known.

I just watched the video of Dixville Notch voting.

It seems they did not count absentees seperately, but they threw the ballot into the box with the others.

In that case, the secrecy should be guaranteed ...

Apparently there is a line 50 minutes before polls open at the precinct in Wake County where Hillary had her midnight rally.

Doesn't surprise me. NC voters are sick and tired of the GOP's bigoted antics, especially on the state level. Enough is enough.

CNN just showed about a half mile long line in front of a VA precinct at 6am.

(And the people in line were about 98% white ...)

Just drove around Arlington. Small-massive lines at every precinct within two miles of me. Don Beyer, my congressman was at a big one. Seeing reports on our NBC affiliate that there is huge lines in other parts of NOVA.

CNN with another look at a massive Raleigh (NC) line, which was about 100% white too.

Now Parma, OH. I cannot spot any Black or Latino voter in that precinct either ...

Maybe you should read about that specific city's (racial) history.
