DUer's from VA, NJ, NYC, CA, PA.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

how is the turnout so far?

[LittleGirl]

1. reporting from CA

I am sitting at home because I dropped off my ballot (Yes) at the local Library drop box 2 weeks ago. I got confirmation a few days later my ballot was counted.

I don't even know where you go to vote here because I've always done mail-in or drop off at the Library.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

2. I kinda suspected that most DUer's have either voted by mail or early voting,

I'm just trying to get a sense of the turnout so far.
Thank you for voting, we need to send the Nazi bastards a message that we will not be intimidated nor silenced.

[LittleGirl]

3. My first vote was for Carter

He didn't win that one and I sat out for decades until 2008. I have voted every election since.

Thank you and you're welcome!

[SheLiberal]

37. My First Vote was for Carter too

It was in 1976 so he won. Hope this is another good election.

[Initech]

6. My drop off box is at the local police station.

I know my vote is secure!

[cally]

8. I don't know where to vote in person on Election Day here in CA--I voted

the day I got my ballot and dropped it off at the library ballot box

[SunSeeker]

13. Same here! And I confirmed on the Ballot Tracker for my country registrar that it was counted. nt

[yardwork]

14. You live in a civilized state!

Here in NC we have an important local election and I no longer trust this state to count my vote unless I vote in person.

[cally]

17. Yes but I was careful about which Dropbox I used!

Some I didn’t trust. My vote was counted!

[obamanut2012]

16. Everyone I know here in Sac already voted by mail or drop box

Weeks ago! All YES ON 50!

[biophile]

4. You didn't list PA but we have important judge elections here

Those will matter at the state level when issues like voting rights come up. Turnout was steady, which is odd for an off year, so I’m hoping that it bodes well for Dems but I’m in a reliably red precinct so it might mean that MAGATS are motivated too 😏

[MarineCombatEngineer]

5. You're right, I did forget about the PA Supreme Court elections today.

I'll fix it and it bodes well, hopefully, that there is a good turnout.

[BBbats]

19. I'm In Philadelphia,PA.

Turnout at 11:30 AM was steady & constant.
This is a very "BLUE" area. Results here should reflect that.

[FalloutShelter]

28. I'm in Bucks County

Could not take temperature of the voters, in slow but steady arrival.
12:45pm EST, so all seniors.
Poll workers said it had been steady and more voters than they had expected.

[Mossfern]

7. I think in my town in NJ

most people voted early.
When I voted last week, the polling place was hopping.
When I passed by our neighborhood polling place at around 10 and 11 this morning, one couldn't tell there was an election except for the 'Vote Here' signs.

[cally]

9. I heard from my daughter, that young people turned out and voted this weekend in NYC

Very high turnout! Yeah Mandami!!!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

10. Thanks for the report,

when, not if, but when Mandami wins, the MAGAt's are going to lose their shit greater than now.

[cally]

11. Yep!!

[yardwork]

15. I'm looking forward to it.

[democratsruletheday]

22. It's MAMDANI.....

although after tonight, you can just call him Mayor 'M' if that's easier....

[Tree Lady]

46. They finally had someone young to vote for

I can kind of see if their choice is two old people both rich why they don't punch themselves to vote.

[jumptheshadow]

12. Turnout was extremely heavy at my bright red polling place

Small town in northern NJ. I think the other side is motivated, and this election will definitely come down to turnout.

[Amishman]

18. Rural (red) PA - very high turnout for an off year election

though we have some fairly contested local races which might also be pushing turnout.

[Drum]

20. NYC: very high turnout

[Mz Pip]

21. 30% returned so far in CA

6.6 million ballots returned so far.

23. GOOD news from Jersey....

albeit from the right wing NY Post:

[JHB]

24. Couldn't tell. Voted outside of "prime time"...

...i.e., not before work, not during lunch, not after work, when people who didn't take the day off (as I did) have the chance to go there.

Jersey City

[Prairie Gates]

25. Are we really going to do this again?

[MineralMan]

27. Are we going to do what again?

I don't get it, and I'm not a dense sort of person. So, please explain further.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

36. Do what again?

[underpants]

26. Voted Sept 22nd

[BigmanPigman]

29. I just got up and will drop it off at the local

library. I like dropping it off. In fact I like voting in general. I used to take my 1st graders on a "field trip" to the cafeteria every year on Voting Day.

They were very quiet and polite while the poll workers explained the process.

We voted in my 1st grade classroom from the first day of school until the last I had THEM choose issues important to then (like what type of class party would they like). With "privacy boards" up the students did all the work. I gave them full ownership. They passed out blank slips of paper, wrote their choices on the paper, anonymously, of course. Then they collected and tallied the votes on the big white board. And they were 100% silent.

I also used to take my little dog with me to vote. The poll workers always thought she were so cute they gave her an I VOTED sticker which I would stick on one of her stuffed animals.

[Wounded Bear]

30. WA here. Dropped off my ballot last Sat...

We have universal VBM, and I love it. I still get emails asking me "where did I vote in (city name) in the last election?"

I hear there are places to go vote in person, but I have no idea where.

[Deminpenn]

31. Western PA

Voted around 10, #93. Voting reported as steady, but there was no line and a couple voters in the booths. My precinct is reliably red, but seems like turnout will be around 25-30%.

[Deminpenn]

45. Final results from my precinct

Turnout ended up at 41.8%. In the Nov 2023 local elections, turnout was 48%, so down from two years ago and also fewer registered voters.

The precinct is reliably R and so the R court judges and "No" to retain both won, but it was much closer than might have been expected. The county as a whole voted "Yes" to retain which is a pretty big deal as it shows voters are paying attention and also that FoxNews watching Rs are a hopeless cause.

32. I worked the polls at a local precinct from 7 am to 10 am -- very little activity.

But its a weird precinct --- its a high rise condo/apartment complex that is its own precinct. The demographics are heavily immigrant -- mostly Middle East -- plus elderly. I worked there in November 2024 and there was definitely more activity back then. Might pick up during the late afternoon. There was no Republican volunteer on site, although there was a table with republican sample ballots. I was offering the Democratic sample ballots to those who passed by. A few took both, more took what I offered. A few said they already had voted or didn't need the sample ballot. It will be interesting to see how the final numbers turn out and how it compares to a year ago when this precinct, while giving Kamala more votes than Trump, leaned more to Trump than it had in the past, particularly it seemed because of anger towards Biden over the departure from Afghanistan, as unfair as it was to blame him.

33. Don't know

Voted by mail

[bamagal62]

34. I voted early here in NYC.

However, my daughter is going to vote on her way home from work this evening. will give a report once I hear from her!!!

[Wednesdays]

35. Kick and rec. nt

[WarGamer]

38. I'm expecting good results across the board... these are BLUE States.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

39. A Democratic sweep will make Been A Dick Donald and his miserable gang of MAGAt's heads do this:

It will be................delicious.

[WarGamer]

40. Yuo don't think a blue sweep is "expected"?

I wouldn't have my head explode over a GOP sweep in AL, TX and KS

[MarineCombatEngineer]

41. Oh, I think those repigs with any sense left realize that, but Been A Dick Donald's delusion

and his loyal MAGAt's are convinced that it's going to be a not so bad night for them.

[WarGamer]

42. oh they'll get flushed tonight... blue sweep.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

43. And I'm loving it.

[bamagal62]

44. Daughter just voted (7:30pm) NYC.

She said there was no
Line at all. But, she’s Upper East Side. Which, I imagine, most people in that part of Manhattan vote early.

[Rhiannon12866]

47. I'm in Northeastern New York and when I arrived at my polling place, there were THREE long lines waiting

To get their ballots from three poll workers. As long as I've been voting, I've never seen anything like that before!
