Expect Heavy Turnout
I went to the polls this morning to drop off a couple of absentee ballots and vote myself. I did this pretty early this morning, as I always do, and this year this polling location had 8 voter stands. Every one of them was full when I arrived, which thoroughly blew me away.
Lines had not formed yet, but there was a steady stream of folks coming in to vote. Tonight, this polling location will be very busy, with some long lines. I also noticed that the plastic bin set up to hold absentee ballots was not very secure, and was already full! This was a basic plastic rubbermaid tub with a slot cut into its top. Imagine this kind of ballot box in countries like Iraq, Nicauragua, or other places where voter fraud 'happens'. Never happen here right?
For a midterm election, turnout like this will likely be unprecedented, and that should be a good thing for Democrats.
