From a poll watcher friend in Georgia - more good news!

[RealityBasedNewYorkr]

“Sooo... in case anyone is wondering what’s happening in GA. We’ve had maybe 400-500 voters come through today. We’re in Richmond County, which is a Republican stronghold in Eastern GA. South Carolina is a 10-minute drive from here. From what other watchers are reporting, the turnout is about the same all over the county.

If Trump is expecting a red tsunami of turnout for re-election, it’s definitely not coming from this side of Georgia. There’s a few more hours to go, but at this point I’m opening the door for people. Not exactly a Trump train pulling into the station.”

5. Not a trump train

Under powered, doesn’t deliver whats expected, but there wasn’t a derailment, the locomotive didn’t explode and the passengers weren’t left stranded in the middle of nowhere.

So yeah, not exactly a trump train.

6. I'm watching in northeast GA as well. Pretty light here.

Also GOP heavy.

7. What about early vote

More votes have been cast before election day no?

8. Early vote leans D and I

Mango Mussolini was hoping for overwhelming Election Day R turnout.

17. Even in a super red county?

9. Thanks. Switched to Fox, and they seem to be preparing their

viewers for a Biden win.

Trump today: "Winning is easy. Losing is never easy. Not for me it's not."

What brought that up?

10. Trump can pay folks to attend his rallies, but he can't pay for them to vote for him.

13. Bingo!

11. Not exactly good news. Richmond is light blue.

That’s Georgia’s second-largest city. It’s Augusta. I would expect to see long lines of Democratic voters waiting to vote if I were going to be excited about Augusta/Richmond.

12. Pleas explain how heavy voting in a red district is good news.

Wouldn't that be bad news?

[Sogo]

14. I think the point the OP was making is that

the turnout is NOT heavy.

[uponit7771]

15. Yes, but its not heavy voting in red districts its light and that's what I see where I'm at too. Not

... a lot of election day voting.

16. I'm loving these on-the-ground observations

Keep them coming.

Thank you!

18. I am working the polls in a red area

I am watching 6 precincts. The one that is the most red, and the largest population is waaaaay underperforming, while the 2 most blue have had lines most of the day... for the first time I can remember since the 2008 Obama blowout.

19. As long as Biden wins, I'd be thrilled with a close second place in supposedly solid GOP states.

It bodes well for the future to just have creditable performances in states like GA and TX. Of course, everyone would prefer all 50 by double digits, but...

As long as Biden wins!
