The area I live in has a very diverse population. This county wasn't considered purely Republican on maps from 2016 but I couldn't tell that on voting day.(March 8, 2020 at 5:49 pm)arewethereyet Wrote: I mentioned this elsewhere I think...when I went to vote the line for Republicans was snaked all through the building (library). I walked in and was about 10th in line for the Democrats. There were only Republican supporters out front handing out literature and holding signs.
I didn't mention that when a first time voter showed up it was announced and the people working the polls all cheered - while I was there these announcements all came from the Republican sign in table.
The Dems are pissing away this election - no big shock to me.
If your profile is accurate, you’re in Texas. This does not really surprise me for a state that last went Democratic in 1976.
My comment was based solely on the polling place I am assigned to. In past elections I haven't seen the parties split into party lines and the number of people carrying signs and handing out literature were split pretty much 50/50. The 2016 election was a 55R/40D/5Other split. I have lived here almost 14 years so I have voted at the same site several times for local, state, and national elections. What I gave was my observation.
I don't live in BFE yee-haw cowboy country.
