1. Yay!

...can't wait to join them!

2. +1000 nt

3. Guess Trump did not reach far enough or his snow job did not convince them he was the greatest.

This is good news, I have worked on election day in the past few years and noticed a greater number of black females was voting and then more black males, I thought this is great. This will be a big thorn in Trump's side, when the voting is counted he will know the Mexicans, Muslims and Blacks has beat him. A good message to send to those who wants to continue to disparage ethnic groups.

4. I saw it in Dayton today too!

I'm a white male, but most of the voters were African American. It seems like a safe bet that most of them voted for Hillary!

I was also thankful that I didn't see any Trump supporters outside the building. There was just a small group of Democratic supporters more than 100 feet from the building, cheerfully handing out information.

5. Awesome!!

[oasis]

6. Truly wonderful.

Democratic tsunami ahead.

[narnian60]

7. I like that.

Democratic tsunami. Hee HEE!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. tRump hard core supporters think he will get 15% maybe 25% of the blacks' votes.

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. They are truly delusional

Trump may manage to get less than 3% of the black vote nationally, a startling accomplishment.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Have a little helping of schadenfreude this evening :)

From the tRumpy FReak site. Don (get it?) protective clothing:

If the black vote is any indication...it is going to be an election to
celebrate and remember!

He'll win more Black votes than any Republican in 40 years.

Because he's sincere.

I have a bet with another FReeper. I bet Trump gets over 25% of the
black vote. I made the bet about 6 months ago and now think he will
get at least 30%.

He will win 20% of the black vote and it will be a landslide for
Trump. I know quite a few blacks here in the suburbs of Chicago that
will vote for him. They have NEVER voted for a GOP candidate before.

Trump will get close to 50% this time around (of the Black vote), and
he'll bring in roughly 50% more "new" voters than have voted in
history. That is, last cycle's GOP totals plus 50% new.

Massive mandate landslide, epochal change back to what worked so well
for 200 years. This nation will turn our face back to God, and He has
promised to "heal our land."

15. November 9th will be fun

[rivegauche]

22. Good lord! They are all batshit insane. nt

[Dem2theMax]

35. Can someone help me put my jaw back into place?

It fell while reading those posts. My God, how delusional can they be? I live in a blue state,
but my little corner of the world is mostly repuke. I think I'll stay indoors for a few days
after the vote, as I really don't want to have to sweep up the exploding brains that are going to be
all over the streets around my house.



I can't WAIT to hear them having to say 'President Clinton' again.

[Matthew Rose]

24. Some of them are so delusional, they are saying all the polls are a Liberal conspiracy and that

Drumpf is going to get 60%+ of all voters.

[Stellar]

30. Probably...

...when grapes get as big as watermelons.

[KelleyKramer]

32. Trump is polling at 0% with blacks

Stephen Colbert said that with the polls margin of error, Trump could (technically) get Negative 3% of the black vote

42. LMFAOC !!!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. While Donald J tRump is tweeting & waging war against his party, HRC is busy banking votes. . nt

[Dream Girl]

13. That's "cheating they're not supposed to vote!

[sheshe2]

14. Huge kick and rec!

[yardwork]

16. And once more, people of color save the country.

I'm white. It's embarrassing to me how many white people support Trump. Thank the goddess for the votes of more sensible people.

[Hortensis]

21. Yes. They're 13% of all Americans, so if all their

eligible voters turn out, nothing to worry about. Thanks, black people. I'm just rolling in saved fuzzies.

[irisblue]

41. yardwork speaks for me.

[brer cat]

17. Vote early before the r's make sure the lines are too long.

Those a*holes will stop at nothing to suppress the vote.

[Hortensis]

23. Why should ANYONE be afraid of them?

Personally, I'd go when I knew they'd be there so I could give them their hate stares right back. Take the pepper spray if it made me feel better, leave the children home (even if they are bigger than me now).

[brer cat]

25. For one example, I know many elderly people who would be

whether they should be or not. Trump has attracted and riled up some very unsavory people, many of whom are armed and not too bright. I will not be afraid to vote, but I do not have a Hillary sign in my yard or on my car, even though I had both for Obama. The local crazies are just too rabid this time around.

[Hortensis]

39. My MIL was a strong woman who became more timid with age,

but it was taking on contentious battles like bad HOA boards and such. A single visit to the polls she could handle. She had the good sense not to worry about something that probably wouldn't happen, and knowing her, she'd be at least a little disappointed when it didn't.

Btw, do your local election authorities expect trouble? If so, I hope they and the community are taking steps to reassure and secure the safety of all those elderly people. Seems to me with all those gas-guzzling SUVs out there no old lady should have to go vote alone.

[brer cat]

40. I doubt that anyone expects trouble voting where I live.

In past elections we have heard of ridiculously long lines in large cities which can be a problem for elderly and disabled people, as well as confrontations/intimidation of minority and young voters.

[NastyRiffraff]

43. I'm glad AAs remember all too well

What happened in 2004 in Ohio. Voting early takes care of any nonsense the r's have in mind.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

18. Some pics from Dayton early this morning (WDTN news).

Like these pics, I only saw Hillary supporters and signs there too!

20. They stole 2004 by switching black votes to Bush votes.

They stole Floridain 2000 by caging black voters, ... I could go one. Not only don't Republicans think black communities should vote, minority communities are their go to places to alter election outcomes.

[Sunny05]

28. Ohh ... my God.

I am praying so hard that that doesn't happen.

[ColemanMaskell]

37. I thought they stole Ohio by "software upgrades" to the voting machines.

Since there are no voting machines involved in early voting, I'd favor early voting anyplace with voting machines.

[Coyotl]

38. 2004 was punch card voting still in most of Ohio, 72%, esp. Dem areas.

26. Yea! nt

[meow2u3]

27. Repukes don't get that the more they try to disenfranchise voters

The more those would-be disenfranchised voters will turn out--and in spades!

Pubbies is so stoopid!

[NastyRiffraff]

29. Blacks and women!

Along with some great white men (and I know some...thank you!), as well as Asians, Latinos, etc. etc.

We WILL do this! Stronger together!

[Cakes488]

31. Yes my brothers and sisters!!!

[anamandujano]

33. People are jubilant seeing this story.

from the comment section

"So good to see and read your story. Way to go, Ohio! Show us how it's done."

"The wave begins.. America may show how great it is, after all, this election."

[unitedwethrive]

34. Good news!
