HUGE voter turnout in Illinois! |
|
I live in a small, rural county and was at my polling place at 5:55 a.m. . We have about 800 voters in my precinct, and when I got in line, I was the thity-seventh person in line!
I smell victory in the air, folks! Big turnouts almost always favor Democrats and challengers!
:thumbsup

Vote as if your life depended on it, because it does.

The civil rights community have set up a toll-free Election Day hotline. This line is staffed now and, in addition to logging your complaint, the civil rights organizations have law students and attorneys who can provide assistance on Election Day.

2. Is your precinct traditionally Democratic? |
|
You mention it is rural, so I was just curious.

8. Just talked to my sister in Gurnee. |
|
I called her cell and talked to her waiting in line. She said she's never seen this many people waiting in line to vote.
