Likely thunderstorms at rush hour this afternoon.

BUT the local right wing radio station is on location at a heavily white suburban school reporting long lines. They interviewed a guy who votes in every election and he said the turn out was like 2008. He said he, as a person of color, was shocked to see 12 people of color in a row in line.

I just heard a coworker say his voting place in Chesterfield was packed AT 6 am.

How's the weather where you are?

It was mild temps, but raining fairly hard when the polls opened at 7AM. It's stopped now, but is dark and overcast. Supposed to turn sunny with temps around 60 later today, but windy.

6. Raining cats and dogs in upstate South Carolina.

Should let up by noon. We’re retired, so will pick our time to avoid before and after work surges. I’ve heard that there’s a good turn out so far this morning.

Feeling optimistic!

9. My dad is a poll worker and said late morning is probably the best time to go

so that's what we're doing.

A friend went to her polling station at 6:50, this morning, and there were around 100 people in line, ahead of her.

14. Raining, 40F in Minneapolis.

People standing in line in the rain to vote anyhow. We aren’t bothered much by crap weather here, it was above zero so we’re fine.

[Nay]

15. Our polling place near Bon Air had 30 people in line at 6 AM when it opened. I voted at

about 745 and was the 268th person to vote, which is at least 5 times the number of voters in past elections at that time of the day. Turnout is enormous! I also saw lots more young voters and black voters than usual in an off-season election.

I'd say that turnout will be a record for off-season elections, even though it was raining when I went in.

40. Not raining downtown but it's pouring in Western Henrico

My daughter just texted me.

Good news (I hope) about the turn out. Guessing at the tickets this morning I'd guess I was about 20-30th person to vote. That was just before 7.

Gorgeous foliage everywhere...good karma. Changing leaves foretell changing parties!

17. KY - sunny, beautiful

Had 3 inches (76 mm) rain last night. Clear skies, sunny and cool but warming. Waiting to go vote so as not to interfere with people voting before they go to work. Plan to get there between the commuters and those voting on their lunch breaks.

18. It's raining pretty hard here in Atlanta, and is supposed to rain all day.

I drove past 2 voting precincts on my way to work, and there were no lines at either of them.

22. Raining and a bit foggy in the Lehigh Valley, PA

Rain is not going to keep us from voting. The temporary discomfort will not deter us--nor will the RW criminals trying to intimidate us!

[BumRushDaShow]

30. If you are in the new PA-7

then I think that is a new (D) seat!
