I've seen videos of the supposedly "rigged" voting machines on both sides. 99% of the time, it's because it's a touch screen, and the cursor is ever so slightly off from where your finger touches it. So, rather than trying press a different part of the screen, they will simply keep pressing the middle of their candidate's box going "baaaa rigged!" as some other thing gets selected.

Female turnout is apparently at a record high in New Hampshire.

Any word on if they're angry?

Do we know anything about the turnout in Philly?

I've only heard the same platitudes from everywhere else: "very high"

That's probably even more true in Colorado. Wink

"In the upset of the century, Colorado voters wrote-in "Doritos" in a landslide, throwing the election to the House of Representatives."

Tom Bonier about to drop some thoughts on the 10 counties giving FL turnout data.

Tom Bonier ‏@tbonier  1m1 minute ago
Broward County. 67% Obama '12. As of 2:30 PM, total turnout exceeds final '12 total vote by over 4,700 votes.

BEAUTIFUL!

He says Broward already exceeded 2012 turnout by 4700 votes.
Now, unless there has been a massive Republican migration into the county I guess that's good news.
But the turnout in the Republican areas is also up by the same amount Smiley


But "Republican areas" tend to have lower populations. 10,000 votes up 40% gets you 4,000 votes. 100,000 votes up 40% gets you 40,000 votes, etc.

Good news out of Iowa.  Poll workers saying they are seeing high turnout at Drake University.  Much more than 2012.

Is it though?

Selzer poll seemed to suggest that young people have abandoned Democrats.

Any University is going to be dramatically more liberal that the state as a whole, though, Liberty University likely being the sole exception.
