(61 posts)Hopefully this can sustained and could potentially be an indicator of other states that are about to start early voting (Florida starts on Monday). We really need to run up the score in Clark!

Early voting is an important strategy. It frees up campaigns to allocate resources to other voters on election day, and shorter lines overall means more people are likely to stay and vote.
Hoping these numbers are indicative of good things to come

(34,661 posts)The line at 9 am was a hour wait. And the polling stations usually are staffed with 21 machines and have specially equip station for those in Wheel Chairs. BTW,the Poll Judges monitor the waiting lines for anyone who is Handicap. They usher them to the head of the line as so they do not have to wait outside. Great Right. After Phone Banking,my Spouse and I headed to the Albertson's and waited for exactly 13 mins and 13 seconds before our turn to vote. That was at 3:30pm,just a steady flow at that time. Asked the Poll Judge as to voter flow,and he was one of the Poll Judges at this location in 2016,he estimated the waiting line at open was four times longer than two years ago.
People were ready to vote weeks ago,the anger level against certain Politicians is off the charts.
My guess is,tomorrow we should see another 20k if what I was hearing when doing registered contact today.
When Uber and Lyft are offering free rides to the Polls on election day. People in Clark County are more than motivated. Especially after being bombarded with all the Sheldon Adelson paid for negative ads.
