Got there as polls opened this morning in Trey Gowdys district. Not a lot of early voting options in SOuth Carolina. Was 69/70 in line. Probably 100 in line as I left. If I had to guess based on demographics it was 70/30 Republican (About what I saw in 16). Took about 30 minutes. My friend wanted to miss the AM rush and went at 10:30–said it took him ten minutes just to find parking. Cautiously optimistic (though not about my district)

I don’t knock sample ballot lady anymore because of the metric ****ton of Amendments on the ballot this year. It goes a long way toward helping speed the low info voter along. Someone who offers you one after just seeing you decline another one is obviously ripe for ridicule, though they’re probably just excited

Voted this morning, Bloomington, IN. Literally 0 wait @ 9am.

Wife and I voted, no wait at all but that’s pretty normal.

Just voted. About a half-hour wait. But I would have camped out if I had to.

This far and away the longest line I've ever seen at this polling place. I'm normally in and out. It's my synagogue and I've barely ever seen this many cars here. Been in line 17 minutes and I'm not even close. I've heard it's about an hour wait from where I am now.

Oh this is the GA-06 district (McBath).

Voted - pretty much blue with one exception (Hi BAIDS!) on the more significant offices and I voted for the GOP for local treasurer because I know the guy, he's the incumbent and there's been no drama during his past term. Competence should be rewarded IMHO.

Lines were LONG - 20 minutes to get to a booth when generally it's a walk in/walk out place - lots of olds (like me) and REALLY olds - one poor lady was completely thrown by the touch screen - but many more 20-40 y/o than I usually see voting. I'd guess that bodes poorly for the GOP - although this year you can vote anywhere in the state. Had to show my drivers license - apparently your mailed sample ballot was enough to get your ticket, but I didn't have mine with me -not a whole lot of offices on the ballot, and we only had 7 ballot measures to deal with, so I didn't need it.

Yes, I meant the 6th. I got approximately 15 gajillion texts from Gavin Newsome supporters, and a visit and 16 gajillion texts from a Christy Smith supporter (D assemblyperson). Smith's people called yesterday and told me the address of my polling place to drop off my mail-in ballot.

I have just the opposite take. I’m more or less indifferent to whether it’s legal or not, just because if it’s not, it’s malum prohibitum rather than malum in se — and I have a healthy disregard for most malum prohibitum rules. And my decisions will never in a million years be influenced by cheap party-line salesmanship from either side of the aisle. But if I personally find it unreasonable, I’m much more likely to pop off.

And yes, I know why they were doing it.

Just got back from voting today in PA. Voted D in all races except one state house race where the Republican was unopposed. I did a write in for Mickey Mouse.

Did not have to wait and was not even asked for my photo ID which was odd.

Voted.

Speaking of which, researching CA candidates last night, seems like most papers endorsed Steve Poizner for insurance commissioner. I went to read one of these endorsements to see what he's about, and:

NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. Do not pass go, get the **** out, **** you, you are disqualified from serving statewide in California.

Dude's probably gonna win, ugh, at least it's for a dumb office

Well, usually urban areas in GOP-run states (Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Texas, etc), right? Don't think it's a coincidence.

Longest line I've ever had in San Francisco was 10-15 minutes in 2016. Today was in and out like usual.

Voted around 10:00 AM. Two people in front of me, easy in, easy out. No ID's, no problems, no muss, no fuss. lol @ all the lame states the rest of you live in.

I was out to lunch yesterday with a Trump voter, who's brother is a full-blown deplorable. Apparently the brother is being paid $20/hour to 'monitor election integrity.' I asked what it meant, and apparently he's there to make sure no one is voting illegally, etc, but he's being paid by some GOP group. Is this normal? How would he even know if someone is voting illegally, etc?

The monitors aren't there to ensure integrity. They are there to harass and intimidate people.

Just voted in NJ. In and out in 1 minute. Mostly olds coming in right now but that's hopefully just due to it being the middle of the day. Straight Dem of course. Nobody harassing people outside. I was expecting a line for the first time ever so I brought every blue umbrella I could find in my house in case there were people in line without one. Didnt need to employ my subliminal messaging tactics though.

Took me an hour today, which is about 58 minutes longer than normal, but not bad considering what I've been hearing.

Loving all the reports in this thread. Thank you all!!! If you've voted, can you please text everyone you know to ask if they voted / remind them to vote???

Wow, that's so awesome. THanks for sharing!

Did you vote yet??

Amazing, thanks for doing this

Thanks for being a voter and jumping into the midterms! Remember this feeling of urgency, we need to show all these *******s the door.

GOGOGOGO!

Thanks for voting! Ohio has so much at stake this cycle.

LOL. I would have asked if that were required. Way too many hall monitors turned voting inspectors in states with strict ID requirements, getting their rocks off busting balls.

Thanks for waiting in line. It's a ****ing travesty that it takes anyone hours to vote.

Wow. Thanks for voting and going so early . I was snoring at 6 and 605 and 650.

Awesome. There are some competitive house races in NY state I think, but not NYC.

wow. Hope you guys can vote that republican out. Thanks for voting

Yay! thanks for voting!

holy. ****. How's the energy in the crowd?

Good luck, let us know what it's like at 1!

All these signs of crowds are so heartwarming. Thank you for voting.

Wow. Commenting on all the lines, it's a great sign for enthusiasm, and a really bad sign for how hard it is for some people to vote. If your state is D they need to pass voting rights!

Yes. This.

Not pointless . Gotta play all 48 minutes.

Yeah every vote counts, for enthusiasm, for future fundraising, for all of it.

Bananas. Thank you for voting!

Cool, thanks for voting!

God Trey Gowdy is such a clown. Fingers crossed

Cool, thanks for voting!

Thanks for voting!

holla. THank you for voting and for being willing to risk life limb and testicle.

Stacey Abrams one time!~!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!! Thanks for your patience. How's the crowd? Energetic?

Cool, thanks fro voting! Especially for Rosen!

LOL. My buddy wrote in my name on some nothing office as a troll for my pestering him to vote. Thanks for voting!

Thanks for voting

Yeah, lines for voting are so bad. Makes me so grateful I have it easy. Thanks for voting!

Easy peasy. I really hope Menendez holds on, schmuck that he is. Thanks fro voting!

Awesome. Thanks for voting!

Noticed voting in tennessee today on the list where you sign next to your name they had voters flagged as "inactive." I knew the state could purge you from the roll if you fail to vote for 2 general elections and dont answer them when they mail you, not sure what it means if they keep the name on the roll but flag it as "inactive"? Probably still keep you from voting somehow

Pretty much. I know three people who are election monitors. All three are deplorable, racist, republicans.

I live in NYC and it never takes me more than a few minutes. But I tend to go vote at 6-6:30 am, which may be the explanation.

Just voted, **** the fascists

Cast a largely ceremonial vote in SC

Not in Sanford's district? iirc there's an outside chance his Trumpkin primary winner loses
