61822: No Voting Issue

Best voter turnout by far than I have ever seen at a polling station. Very organized. Lines moved quickly. The demographics were varied on age, race, ethnicity. I hope this election for now and the future improves America's ranking for percentage of eligible population that voters. Our current standing of 20th (or around that) is a disgrace to democracy.

Arrived at voting place at a little after 7 a.m. one person in front of me to check in, no wait for voting booth. When I left people were checking in but no lines. I believe I was 141 person to vote at the polling place, and 30 in our precinct. that day. Read More »

60047: No Voting Issue

Arrived at 6:09 and the line was twenty deep. Mothers with infants in pajamas, corporate types heading for the office, laborers, teachers, etc. I was happy to see the judges were both young and old. In the past the registration tables and judges were manned by retirees...not so this election. Read More »
