Light turnout, and no one under 60. Most closer to 75.

(21,475 posts)Most voters head to work first thing and then find time to vote either at lunch or after work. Hopefully Democratic voters are those workers.

(15,189 posts)They're already talking impeachment. And if these people can't figure that out, they're dumber than I thought. Voting for the GOP is voting for the impeachment of Obama.

And it's not like overworked high school teachers are free to teach much about civic responsibility.

If we hadn't voted by mail my kids wouldn't be out voting till the evening. Not to mention people have to work... Let's not start throwing blame around.
This is the most important day in a Democracy and it's not a federal holiday. How messed up is that?

(4,879 posts)That's it in a nutshell.
Everyone in my family has had to juggle schedules to vote. My son is filling in for other employees so they can take the time to vote. He will be casting his vote after work.
To clarify my subject line: I direct quoted. I'm pretty sure there should be just one "this".

(1,846 posts)I live in Antioch, IL. Lol my Congressman is Randy Heltgren, a tea party type. Before redistricting it was Joe Walsh.
I just voted. There was not one person of color or under 50 in there.
My community is a somewhat mixed community. You would not know it by being at the polling place though.
