Voted for Hillary & Murphy in FL, went to polling place 'cause I hadn't gotten my absentee ballot in



the mail.
It was steady but no lines outside. I kept hearing applause & cheers, that was for 1st time voters, it happened about 5 times.

I think that is encouraging.

Not sure since I hadn't gotten in yet, but I suspect the poll workers, maybe voters joined in. Motley13 Oct 2016 #3

Who was doing the cheers and applauding for the 1st time voters? Other voters or the election workers or both?

I applied online Oct 21

She said I could go to early voting place. They knew I had requested absentee ballot & told me to just destroy it, if I got it.


I voted at the City Hall, there is entry way before entering the main rm. that is where I heard the cheers & asked the poll workers what was happening.
