I am getting the feeling there are a ton of black folks voting today.

This could be like in 2008 when Obama inspired many to vote, especially younger voters.

This year it appears Trump is the inspiration!

1. I hope you're right!

I think suppression backfired this time. Voters are PISSED.

2. I feel in many ways this is 2008 but in different way. We see the end of a terrible chapter in our

history and Americans standing strong to make it happen

3. We are doing more than restoring democracy, we are charting its new path forward

The people are awakened and mobilized, we aer back on course toward creating that more perfect union we so fervently long for!

5. I hope so. Theur votes are really important. nt

[GoCubsGo]

6. There are.

Besides being a tradition to vote on election day, many of them don't trust the absentee/early voting systems. Can't say I blame them.

[honest.abe]

7. Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well.

Its really good we have so many showing up today to counter the Repub vote.

8. There are a million stories in the big city: here is one

6:26 a.m.: First person in line to vote at United Center traveled from South Side after being unable to sleep

Before the sun could rise, Nakiea Love sat on a concrete block outside the United Center. Love, who couldn’t sleep Monday night, got dressed around 4 a.m., hoping to be the first person in line to vote.

And that she was.

Love said she was unsure of where to vote near her South Side home, so to avoid any confusion, she decided to travel to one of the city’s two super sites, where she heard “any and everyone” could vote.

Armed with a Dunkin Donuts' iced coffee, Love, 34, said this election is one of the most important of her lifetime.
“It’s just been a lot,” she said. “It’s been a lot going on. I think it’s been a lot of issues that need to be addressed.”

Inside the United Center, in the hour before polls opened, election judges, security and poll workers prepared for the day. By 6 a.m., a line of socially distanced hopeful voters wrapped around the United Center’s south end.

9. Nice!

[Aepps22]

10. We Will

African Americans like myself are sick of Trump, sick of the voter suppression and sick of Republicans. I have no doubt that the Black community will deliver today.

[honest.abe]

11. Yes indeed!

12. My son is working the polls

He’s a poll worker in the Hill District, an historically black Pittsburgh neighborhood. He says it’s been pretty light and there is no wait to vote now.
