2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumJust finished voting in my bright red area. Had to wait in line for ....
... both my wife and daughter.
Got a friendly greeting from one poll worker (strong Democrat) and a sneer from another (she knows me only too well).
Not a big turnout. Fewer than 300 votes cast at noon.
On edit: How red? Five down-ticket races have NO Democratic challenger.

The only 2 Dem candidates on a very long ballot are Obama and Nelson. All REPUBLICANS are at the top of the category.

It's not bright red but my wife's hair dresser said she had never seen turnout like it was. So I voted, and it was similar to 2008 (i go on the off times).
Had to laugh when a Republican campaign person offered a 'sample ballot' to a lady and she said, 'wrong ballot". LMAO...I actually took their sample ballot not knowing who they were and started reading it and it showed to vote Republican straight. I placed that in the recycle bin.
