Some raw voter turnout numbers from my precinct in PA-18

Not sure how to interpret these figures because my precinct went 64% for Trump and 31% for Clinton in 2016.

As of 4:10 p.m. 711 ballots were cast out of about 2420 registered voters. There are almost four hours until the polls close and many people vote on their way home from work.

As of 4:10 that translates to about 29% turnout.

Historical turnout for my precinct:

22.51% turnout for 2017 General Election

79.59% turnout for 2016 Presidential Election

46.25% turnout for 2014 Midterm Election & PA governor's race


This a heavily Republican area, but I have seen a lot of yard signs for Lamb and a handful for Saccone. In contrast, there was maybe ONE for Hillary in 2016, dozens for Trump.
