I voted. Checking in from Kentucky. How about you?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

Worried about a trumper getting in as governor.

Worried about Virginia.

[underpants]

1. Virginia. Voted a month ago.

✅

[Polybius]

2. Staten Island here

Voting when I go pickup takeout food. Probably around 7:30.

[senseandsensibility]

3. How was turn out?

I really hope Andy wins!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. It was light, but then my wife and I chose a time for least crowding.

It seemed a little lighter than normal. It's typically about 78% russiapublican here.

[standingtall]

4. Voted for Beshear and straight Democratic

around 11 am today

[NJCher]

5. Northern NJ

Traffic was light at my voting spot.



I got on the phone and texted a bunch of people. "VOTE!!"

In addition, wherever I went, I announced to the room to "go vote." This included the doctor's office (I got a round of applause for that) and the library.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. You're my hero. I haven't been around people in many months.

[NJCher]

41. thanks! It was fun!

Next year I may make a whole day of it.

I'm definitely going to tell my teacher's union about it and maybe I can get others to do it, too. One does have to be outgoing to pull it off, though!

It was funny to see the expressions on peoples' faces. Like some people, you could tell, had not even thought of voting but they wanted to. They would think for a second and then give me a big smile. Or a nod.

Others were like "damn straight I'm voting." As soon as I get off this job!

[montanacowboy]

6. I can't believe how close that Gov. race is

how can anyone vote for that POS turtle backed candidate. Andy B has been a great governor for KY and it would be a disaster if that creep beat him.

[Meadowoak]

7. If it's any consolation, the racist repukes around here (central KY) won't turn out for a black man.

I know that's terrible, but that's what I'm seeing and hearing around here.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. That matches where I live.

[MiKenMi33]

17. Consolation

It’s sad but I’m strangely consoled by that. As long as Beshear wins, I’ll take it.

[mahina]

19. We have a lot of healing to do in this country, that is for sure.

Unreal.

I can't believe Bashear is tied with all he's done for Kentucky. Good luck all.

[FSogol]

8. Virginia. Early voted last weekend. n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. Hoping you folks avoid the abyss; don't be like KY!

[FSogol]

16. Fingers and toes crossed. I think turnout has been good. n/t

[MiKenMi33]

12. I early voted on Saturday

I’m in Western Kentucky. I wasn’t at all disappointed in the turnout when I voted early. There wasn’t a line but it was a steady stream of people. I’m seeing a lot more Cameron signs than I did a week ago but the Beshear signs outnumber them. I’m cautiously optimistic.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. I'm going to try early voting one of these years.

[appleannie1]

14. I voted in a Republican rural area of Pennsylvania. I used to work the polls and worked when both

Obama and Trump were elected. The highest turnout they ever had was when Obama was elected. Mostly people that voted just to make sure he would not win. But they also got a lot more Dem votes that year than normal. Today was not that busy but busier than normal for that time of day.

[Trailrider1951]

15. I voted yesterday. WA State has mailed ballots

I dropped mine off at the collection box on my way to Lowes.

[2naSalit]

18. Montana local election...

Dropped off the mail in ballot yesterday. I almost forgot about it because I don't go check my mail everyday.

[marble falls]

20. Crowded as all get out, big group of Drumphers. We had 14 amendment issues.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. Hope there are even bigger crowds of anti-traitortrumps.

[LeftInTX]

32. Yeah...We've had good turnout in Bexar County

However, those amendment elections always go the Republicans way. There is a good chance Prop 9 will pass. Teachers! I've got my sign in my yard!

I predict the infrastructure stuff will pass. Broadband, Water and Energy. (6,7, and 8) I voted against the energy one. (7)

Prop 3 and 4 will pass, cuz Texas...duh...I voted against them.

For the first time in quite awhile, we actually have stuff worth voting for. Hopefully the conservation fund and university fund will pass. (Although the university fund isn't quite what it seems) I hope the El Paso bonds passes, but I'm worried the Rs will vote against it.

Prop 1 will pass. I voted against it.

[LeftInTX]

40. Looks like they're all gonna pass, except the judge retirement one.

Based on Bexar County, but I think it be the same all over the state.

Prop 9 (teacher retirement) got 89%
Prop 6 (water) got 80%

[marble falls]

44. I voted against most.

[pfitz59]

21. I voted by mail in Washington

Very Democratic County, with a few Republican holdouts.

[ShazzieB]

24. No election here in Illinois today.

But I am anxiously awaiting the results from Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, Mississippi, et al.

Among other things, I'm rooting hard for Brandon Presley to kickTate Reeves' smug ass. I know it's a long shot, but it would be so good for Mississippi. Among other things,, Presley is running on expanding Medicaid in the state, which Tate has been refusing to do. (I guess because it might help "those" people get healthier, and who wants that, right? )

As usual on any election night, I will be watching the election coverage on MSNBC and hoping for good news.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. Slacker! You could've voted in at least 3 states today!

Yeah, I'm kidding -- only MAGAts do voter fraud while accusing Democrats of doing it.

Sweatin' bullets, here, waiting to see our fate.

[OldBaldy1701E]

26. Yep. Local stuff here in MN. (n/t)

[ellie]

27. Colorado here

We dropped our ballots off over the weekend. We have mail-in voting.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. We had no-excuse mail-in during COVID lockdown, then repukes revoked it.

[Scrivener7]

29. First thing this morning!

[lanlady]

30. Voted today in No. Virginia

I'm cautiously optimistic. Lots of USG employees in these parts and they are not amused by GOP threats to shut down the government. We outnumber the knuckle-draggers in the southern part of the state. I'm hoping Youngkin has a very bad night.

[Mossfern]

31. New Jersey here

Voted line "B" Democratic party.
State senate and Assembly, School board and one local referendum.
We live in a purple - ish district, and have been redistricted many times.
Now our town is in with many borderline Republican towns - so every vote does count here.
The polls had good flow.

Heaven forbid the State turns Republican.

[Emile]

33. We had no election today in my county in Indiana.

Anxious to see who won the mayoral vote in Indianapolis.

[Xavier Breath]

34. Voted on the first day of early voting in Ohio on October 11.

Good luck tonight to our neighbors in Kentucky.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

37. Thank you. Early results looking good for Beshear.

Hoping Ohio votes for pro-choice tonight.

[Xavier Breath]

39. They're saying turnout numbers are up in the bigger counties

as compared with the August election, and they anticipate results within the next thirty minutes or so, so fingers crossed.

[DET]

35. Voted in NOVA at around 4:30

We never have lines at our polling place, but the turnout was heavier than normal. Voted straight Democratic, even though I didn’t know half the candidates. I wore my ‘Make Lying Wrong Again’ t-shirt, hoping I wouldn’t be stopped. The Democrats loved it.

[Jilly_in_VA]

36. I voted in a rural precinct

in the Shenandoah Valley of VA when I got off duty at the shelter today. It was midafternoon, turnout light but steady. A woman was in front of me with two youngish children. Little girl was thrilled when she got to feed the ballot in. I complimented her on bringing her kids to vote; she said her parents had brought her. Mine didn't bring me because we had school on Election Day, but voting was in the gym of our school and the teachers always made sure we knew something special was happening.
My husband early voted last week.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

38. I like the idea of bringing children.

Turnout is being compared to 2019, here.

Hoping for a blue Virginia there!

[Wounded Bear]

42. Voted here in Washington. Not a lot of consequence, just some local offices and issues...

But I did it.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

43. Local offices are very important -- don't let GOP sneak in through a school board!

Kentucky was nibbled at by Fox and AM radio until it transformed from the bluegrass state to the red-ass state.
