I am the 50th voter in my precinct. “That’s amazing. We’ve never had such a turnout.”
It’s true. Statewide turnout in this election is expected to top 83 percent.

I was 66th, at 7:30am. My poll worker was a very nice old lady, who said that they’d had more voting up to that point than they did all day in 2004… Wild.
I was 27th in my precinct @ 8:20. I’m usually in the top 15 in the whole district.
In most polling locations, one hour after the polls opened – and most had lines before they opened, more people voted than normally have voted all day in prior years.
And that’s not including the 60 percent of people in our two counties who voted absentee or early already.
It’s a Blue Tidal Wave.
My boss says she was 124th to vote, and she got there when it opened.
WTF happened to the other 17%, Huh?
I voted this morning at 10:30.
I was number 339 at my polling place. I usually vote in the evening, between 7:30 and 8pm, and the last few times I was voter 360 or less.
This bodes very well indeed, I believe.
