But not the way they want it to be lol. People f#&%ing hate this guy and he is bringing people out that dont vote just to vote against him. In case I wasn't the only one wondering... There are estimated to be 2.1 million more people in Texas now than there were in 2016. 32.7% of the population voted in 2016. So far 30.5% of the population has already voted in 2020.

My brother is 50, he's only voted in two elections: 2016 and 2020. He is a proud Trump supporter. More than any other generation in modern history, young voters lean left. *If* the increase is due to an increase in young voters, it's against Trump. 1 1 Link to comment

That literally could be the nail in the coffin for the Republican Party. As a former Republican I’d love to see it. Not because I’m fond of the dems but I’ve really grown to detest the R’s. 2 1 Link to comment

Moiraine Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Just tried to vote in Omaha and there were 300 people ahead of me and we were told it was a 2.5-3.5 hour wait. Then the power went out in the front part of the building so they couldn't print off ballots and OPPD was on the way, but they didn't have an ETA so I left. They told us if we get in line by 5 we can vote. (It is supposed to close at 5pm). I believe tomorrow is the last day to vote early. One thing I noticed is there were a lot of young people and a lot of minorities and I have to wonder if some voted early because it's faster. For me it's probably slower but I wanted to get it over with. I'm guessing if I wait until Tuesday there'll be about 30 people in front of me. Below was in 2012 when they made changes. https://thereader.com/news/polling-place-changes-hit-older-omaha-harder 1 Link to comment

Id say at least 70% of the early votes are Biden votes Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 The power went out at a polling place? Just like it did last week at other polling places? Where the technology being used is a pencil? How often does the power go out in selective buildings on any given day? If this election goes to the Supreme Court, which will be asked to ignore the many, many irregularities that favor Donald Trump, the American experiment is over. 1 Link to comment

Of course we cannot have democracy without electricity. We cannot even buy an apple at a grocery store (with cash) when the computer system is down. 1 Link to comment

I'm surprised that the Ds have surrendered Ohio, that was traditionally the weathervane king. In 2004 it felt like the entire campaign was fought in OH&FL. 1 Link to comment
