UPDATE: NC having 'a tremendous SURGE of voters'. Voters STILL in line@4:20

Last edited Sat Nov 5, 2016, 04:28 PM - Edit history (2)

in Dem stronghold counties.

Meck County burned it up today where some lines had 500 people waiting still at 1:00 when polls were supposed to close.

UPDATE: Just told these voters are STILL in line because this is last day for same-day registering and voting. (Thanx NCGOP)

All these voters had/HAVE blue ballots thanks to DU.

UPDATE: Meck County Dems have been supplying waiting voters with water and food so they are comfortable while waiting.

DU - Simply the Best!

Now on to Tuesday. We're getting gassed up, FIRED UP and READY to GO!

Trump and his minions are so stupid that they would think that was double digits.

Rest in peace Joan. Her comedy lives on

She would have had a ball this election. Trump would have been skewered by the comedic truth of Joan Rivers

Miss her still. She, too, took shit for breaking her own glass ceiling - being the first woman to host a late-night comedy/variety show a la "The Tonight Show" etc. Good Grief she took shit for that. I remember feeling so proud of her for blazing that trail! Stephanie Miller, too, had one for awhile. Ratings didn't hold - in either case. It was hard lift for women. I'm hoping that Samantha Bee's show prevails. She's damn funny, and she deserves it!

Just imagine what Joan Rivers would have to say about Trump!

People should ALWAYS remember these small offices in crucial swing states have enormous responsibilities.

The line was over an hour before the polls even opened, when I was relieved at 11 the line was about two hours long.

I don't normally do watch parties but might do one this year. I want to be screaming with a hundred or so other people when each state is announced, whichever way it ends up going.

I'm in Texas so it's going to be a while before that happens for us.
