Young Republicans all, I'm certain.

This bodes well.

However, I counted only about 8 facemasks being used. Not so good, but the young are immortal.

Looking at who was entering the door at the end of the 2:18 video, and finding him at the start of the video about 10 people from the line going in the door, and calculating the rate at which people are going in, that's about 260 per hour. So those at the end of the line will have just over an hour wait.

to make long lines hoping Dem leaning voters will get fed up. I hope these red states elect enough Dems to change that deplorable practice.

I hope the lines aren’t twice as long because there’s half the polling places!
