This is a view from the end of a line of cars waiting to get into the parking lot of the Oklahoma County Election Board to early vote this afternoon. Literally a mile long line. After a parking spot is found in a very large lot, there will be another wait standing in a line that is about a quarter of a mile long. I have neve seen a turnout like this for any election here in the last 50 years! Incredible!

6. Here are the numbers as of 5pm

In the 2016 general election, 253,379 people voted by absentee mail or in-person early voting in all of that election’s early voting period, which is 2.5 days (Thursday, Friday, 1/2 day Saturday).

Here is day 1 as of 5pm: 292,073 - 131,641 of that total are Democrats

This info is from the Oklahoma State Election Board.

7. Thanks for the info.

Oklahoma County decided that they would have two polling places this year; one at the regular election board, and a new one in mostly lily-white, mostly Republican, white flight suburb of Edmond, OK. I don't live there, but I drove by the Edmond location, and nearly every person I saw was white, while the main election board location where I voted looked to be about 75% black. I may be wrong, but it seems that giving that particular area (probably the whitest, most republican suburb in Oklahoma County) its own early voting site just might skew the outcome a bit. I don't remember Edmond being an in-person early voting location in past years. Oh well, guess there are lots of ways to steal an election.

(I think i finally got the picture fixed.)
