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.

OP
Not sure since I hadn't gotten in yet, but I suspect the poll workers, maybe voters joined in.

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

(3,867 posts)5. I called the SOE office to tell them I hadn't received my absentee ballot in the mail yet
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.
