I just voted - great news

I live in the most conservative district in NYC (Max Rose’s), and the school where I vote is bright Red (80% Republican, Trump signs everywhere).

Well, I voted around 4:00, and there were only three people ahead of me (it’s split into about 10 sections, depending on what street you live in). Each one only had two or three people waiting. I waited about 3 minutes, then it was my turn. Gave my name, and she found me right away. Then I was handed the sheet and a pen, and the rest is history.

I expected to wait around the block to vote. Is this a good sign? Republicans like to vote on Election Day right? Are they staying home, or am I missing something?

All Dem always! Last non-Democrat I voted for was Bloomberg in 2005. I’ve regretted it ever since.

Out in redneck country where I’m from I think the dumb asses are so busy standing back and standing ready that they aren’t going to get around to voting 😂
