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.

Plz give me a summary. What's so special about Parma, OH ?

There is plenty more stuff if you want details.

California, New York, and even Colorado going for Hillary do not surprise me, but Montana?!

I see what you did there.

But there is a but this year: Parma is heavily Ukrainian (well, "heavily" to the extent there are heavily Ukrainian places out there: sizeable Ukrainian nationalist population). Normally would mean heavily Republican. But this year at least some of those have their own reasons to hate Trump.

Just voted. For Tender's benefit I'll mention I saw a few Blaxicasians in line in this 90% white town.

Anyway, I'm off to bed now. Have fun with Tender's gallons of dog sweat and the urine/feces that is sure to fly everywhere in this thread. I'll see you guys later assuming the forum doesn't crash!

It was mostly like construction managers and small business owners, and there were a lot of people wearing Trump shirts and hats.

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 ...

Are you going to be on the lookout for Blaxicasians all day?

Nah, I was just looking for clues if there's a massive TRUMP-leaning election day surge on the way.

Athens GA: Youngest kid (a student at Univ. of GA) got to the polling place, which is just off-campus, shortly before they opened at 7 and reported a long line.  Took about 45 minutes to get through.

I wonder if Edison exit polls all states this time and not just some swing states ...

For example, from what I remember there was no TX exit poll last time.

At my Poll site, a guy wasn't listed in the book despite voting in the primary. He was filming us and refused to leave

Eraserhead reached out to them and they will be doing exit polls for every state.

I'm hearing that turnout is huge in the donut counties. Good news for Trump-Young-Holcomb.

Small personal problem: I was a key witness in an incident which almost got my township clerk censured on a 3-3 vote; said township clerk is in charge of getting absentee ballots in the mail, /and my ballot never arrived (the state website says it was sent 2 weeks ago). In my speech to the township board and county clerk, I said I didn't trust him handling my ballot, and sure enough this happens. Little too much of a coincidence. Spending my day driving 3 hours each way to vote in person.

The ordeal surrounding voting in the US always sounds so bizarre. I never had to wait in line or even spend more than a few minutes to bother about voting.

Though I guess inner city area and not being the victim of voter suppression goes a long way towards that.

I am shocked at how long the lines are in many places in the US.

Don't the people have to go to work or school at some point ?

Why not assign every voter to a certain precinct in which they HAVE to vote and not crowd single precincts. Also, for f**ks sake, simply create more precincts.

I have never seen a precinct here in Austria where people wait more than 5 minutes.

Yeah, it is what happens when elections are run on the cheap. In Mexico they open nearly 150,000 polling stations, and no station can have more than 750 registered voters. I have never had to walk more than 3 or 4 blocks to a station, and the longest I once waited was about 15 or 20 min: usually you show up, vote your 6 ballots and are out in 15 in total (including the 3-minute wait in line). But it is a huge logistical exercise, and costs a pretty penny.

BTW, all paper, no early vote, multiple elections on the same day.
