2020 Election Day Thread

I voted in person today in Georgia. My precinct is heavily Republican, and so far today the line has been a lot longer than 2016. What's everyone else's experience?

[misterx]

This is the only thing that has me concerned Biden could win. If it comes down to PA and there is massive fraud in Philly.

I voted in person today in a Kansas suburb. I was in and out in five minutes.

I keep hoping we'll build up some level of herd immunity to this stuff - but every couple of years another voting pandemic takes off. Earthing, Vitamin C, Zinc ... nothing seems to stop it.

Yes, not voting is smart. I wish I was as smart as you

I voted a week ago for Jo Jorgenson. The line around the library was super long but I got in and out in 30 minutes. Note that I didn't see any Biden or Trump signs at that polling location but I did see a Jo Jorgenson sign!

‘The Steal Is On’ in Pennsylvania: Poll Watchers Denied Access, Illegal Campaigning at Polling Locations

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...ing-locations/

Hannah Bleau 3 Nov 2020

Election Day kicked off with a bout of chaos in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with poll watchers reportedly denied access and witnesses alleging “illegal campaigning” at various polling locations.

According to Trump 2020 EDO director Mike Roman, Democrat election officials are banning Trump poll watchers all across the city, as one video shows. Another photo on social media shows a physical barrier, which Roman says Democrat officials are using to keep poll watchers far from the counting tables:

There also appear to be instances of illegal campaigning at various polling locations. Roman provided an image of a man in blue purportedly distributing Democrat literature to voters as they stand in line to cast their ballots. Other polling locations appear to have the literature posted outside the facility:

ILLEGAL campaigning INSIDE of a polling location in Philly. Man in blue is handing out DEM literature to voters IN LINE TO VOTE. This is why DEMS are keeping TRUMP WATCHERS OUT. They are STEALING it! This needs to STOP! pic.twitter.com/qnJ3D8o2ie

Additionally, there are mounting reports of polling locations opening late, forcing some voters to step out of line to return to work before casting their ballots:

��At least THREE polling places are reportedly not yet open — two in Philadelphia, one in Allegheny! Polls should have opened at 7:00! @PhillyVotes

— Philly GOP @PhillyGOP) November 3, 2020

What a coincidence. My friend, in the Republican part of Pennsylvania just called me. They are standing in line at the polling place that was supposed to open and is still not open. People leaving because they have to go to work. This is the BS we have been warning about.

— Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) November 3, 2020

According to the Philadelphia Republican Party, in the first two hours of voting alone, they have received reports of “several reporting locations closed,” hundreds of voters stuck in line, ballot harvesting, and officials denying poll watchers access.

There are also reports of voting machines down in Westmoreland and Philadelphia Counties, according to the Philly GOP:

Polls have been open for 2 hours in PA. Here’s what we’ve seen:

– Several reports of locations closed.
– 300+ people stuck in line.
– Ballot harvesting.
– Certified watchers being denied access.

But sure, Republicans are the party trying to meddle in elections ¯_(ツ)_/¯

— Philly GOP @PhillyGOP) November 3, 2020

REPORT: Voting machines down in Westmoreland and Philadelphia Counties. Opposite sides of the state, both pro-Trump strongholds. #PAForTrump

— Philly GOP @PhillyGOP) November 3, 2020

All eyes remain on Pennsylvania, the state many believe could determine the outcome of the election. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) made waves over the weekend after declaring — three days before the election — that “if all the votes are added up in PA, Trump is going to lose.”

If all the votes are added up in PA, Trump is going to lose. That’s why he’s working overtime to subtract as many votes as possible from this process.

For the record, he’s 0-6 against us in court. We’ve protected voting rights. Now, ignore the noise—vote!https://t.co/mN8t6TDud7

— Josh Shapiro (@JoshShapiroPA) October 31, 2020

Pennsylvania polls close at 8 p.m., with 20 electoral votes up for grabs.

[misterx]

You can bet if voting was delayed in a Philadelphia a judge would rule that polls there must stay open three hours later. It's ok when this happens in Republican districts

They allowed you to vote from overseas? I can't take anyone seriously that doesn't capitalize america but does capitalize Trump and Communists.


Any way, my SO went this morning at a large precinct in swing state NC, Charlotte, which is pretty solidly D. She said it was quiet and was in-and-out, even with new voting procedures and new machines. The Dems outreach to get people to vote early in some form seems to have worked.

If that's indeed the case everywhere then Trump wins. I don't think they have a big enough margin in early voting if most of them have already voted.

...

There is no excuse to not allow poll watchers in unless they are up to shenanigans.

[enhanced_deficit]

Old 'follow the money' doctrine seems to no longer apply in modern times, almost zero discussion this election season of who's funding both major candidates.

Progressive socialism of globalist American-Israeli couple funded GOP-A to save America from communism of failing Dems.. that sounds like winning-lite.

[A Son of Liberty]

The line at my polling station here in Southwestern Pennsylvania was long this morning. I arrived at 6:40. The polls opened at 7. I was probably 40 or 50 deep at that point. By the time we started moving into the old Presbyterian church at 7 am, the line had roughly tripled, by my estimate, to around 150 people.

As I stood in line, I noticed a placard on the side of the building that stated that the church had been established in 1775. That is rather old for this area. Not as old as some places in New England, I'm sure. But old, nonetheless. I'm an historian by hobby, and I couldn't help thinking back to the people who had inhabited this area back then, many of whom probably would end up fighting in the Revolution that was about to kick off less than a year later from the date on the side of the building. Many of them were probably buried there in the cemetery on the other side of the sidewalk I was standing on. The thought occurred to me in that moment that maybe they're the lucky ones - those who had already come and gone, and particularly those who'd lived in that momentous time when, for all the shortcomings we accuse them of today, with our haughtiness and our presumptions hundreds of years in their future, men (to borrow a term from their time that meant something different than it does now) stood up and fought for a truly new and beautiful principle - that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

I wasn't proud to vote today. I didn't think I was doing their memory justice. I wasn't standing up to overthrow a millennia-old order of society. I voted today to stem a rising tide. That's all.

No matter who "wins" this election, unlike the people buried there in that cemetery, we all lose.

[Brian4Liberty]

I voted yesterday. No line, no wait. But I’ve never see much of a line at a poll (in California). The fact that people have to wait in long lines is insane.

[devil21]

If that's indeed the case everywhere then Trump wins. I don't think they have a big enough margin in early voting if most of them have already voted.

Maybe. It was also not during peak voting hours, though. I usually do poll working on election day for local candidates I like (not this time bc of mask and distancing nonsense makes poll working nearly impossible) and that particular precinct gets a steady stream all day but a big early rush, decent lunch time turnout and heavy after-work rush. She went outside of those hours so I'm not sure it's evidence of anything.

In the soil around all around me, literally, lie the remains of direct blood kin of mine that were part of that effort.

Their warnings, admonitions and incriminations haunt me every day.

How I wish I were one tenth the men they were.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Anti Federalist again.

This is such a sad, sad day, I think. I literally voted for time today. That's it. No principle. No philosophy. Just give me another minute to get ready.

That's all it is. The country is too far gone to be saved, we are just buying ourselves four more years before full on Marxism. Then again, we might get a civil war if Biden doesn't win.

[Anti Globalist]

Voted this morning with my dad at 10 am and voted for Rainwater. We were going to vote yesterday, but apparently the early voting in my area ended at noon and we got there at 1 pm.

[69360]

No line here. We were the only people there. No mask was required to vote. I changed my mind last night and I voted LP for Jorgensen. Was going to leave president blank.

2020 has been such a crazy year that I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up happening.

Just finished declaring my consent to be enslaved. No line, no mask, no mask hassle. Also simply voting for time, and because AF asked me to.

[KEEF]

I voted in person today in Georgia. My precinct is heavily Republican, and so far today the line has been a lot longer than 2016. What's everyone else's experience?

Line for me in Michigan was wrapped around the building (big building too), but my precinct line went quickly. I voted and voted real hard.

2020 has been such a crazy year that I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up happening.

More likely that Trump wins AZ and Wisconsin, loses PA, then also 269-269
