I voted about an hour ago. I was the first time in the 15 years of living here did I have to wait in line during a midterm election. Turnout in Western PA could shatter some records. Happy Election Day, Ya'll!

Too bad there wasn't free donuts...

Not donuts, but I brought some cookies I made last night to the poll workers.

That could be considered a bribe...but it's you and likely a gesture of goodwill towards fellow humans

I used to help work the polls when I first moved here and know most of the workers. I always brought a bunch of treats to last throughout the day and the tradition sort of stuck even though I don't work them anymore. It was a busy as all get out when I went went today.

Polls here opened @ 7 AM.

I went about 7:50 AM, NO line, and was out before 8 AM.

Quick, easy, voted a STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT TICKET.

First time in my life I voted a straight ticket for any party

I still haven’t voted a straight ticket

Managed to find a couple of Republicans worthy of my vote

 

[BULLDOG]

Wasn't on the ballot. It was only in his defective mind.

Cease being annoying and do you really have 728 posts on the 6th day of the month?

Cripes squirt grab a life

What does a posters # of posts have to do with any of this?

 

[otto105]

I voted. Big turnout.

 

[Geaux4it]

OK, so how many of you voted twice?

-Geaux

 

[jknowgood]

Easiest voting i've ever done. Straight republican. Democrats can thank themselves. After Kavanaugh, i'll never vote for a democrat again.

Duncan Hunter is our current Rep....under indictment with his wife for multiple counts of misuse of funds.....can't live within his means and is currently living with his parents. And yet, my district just might re-elect him. How sad is that?

Huge turnout here and we will see where it gets us. I voted across the board as normal, good and bad in every party.

Very first time I voted was in 1980 for Reagan.
I've been a registered independent all my life.
I've NEVER voted a straight ticket until today.

I truly believe Reagan would be horrified by Trump's White House.
And I think George Will, the conservative standard of the Republican party who resigned his membership earlier this year is right:
Vote Democratic this year and stop an out of control, psychopath in his tracks...and the sycophants who bow down to him and fear him.
And I did.
