Roll Call: Who is voting early? Who is waiting til Nov. 5 (and why?)

I went to vote at the library in Rocky Mount yesterday but couldn't even get into the parking lot. My daughter and granddaughter are visiting today so I'll try again Monday.
 
Just got back from voting. I live in deep red Davidson county and it was MAGA Hee-Haw down there when I went. Trump folks turned up all decked out in their red hats & "Fuck Biden" gear. Pretty much voted straight "D" and wrote in "Jimmy Carter" for any R's running unopposed in local seats. All in, took about 45 minutes.

How do you stand to live there? If I was surrounded by MAGA, I don't think I could last even a year.

True. I mean the whole belt around Winston from Randolph to Wilkes and around to Stokes is the deep red belt.

Yadkin leads the way though. 80% Trump

Is that Elkin? We had to detour through Elkin once when there was a wreck in a construction zone on I-77 south and the single southbound lane was closed. It was like a trip through Trumpville. This was 2021 so there was no election but there were Trump signs everywhere.

That’s probably where I’ve seen the most confederate flags.

Either that or they shelled out for that merch and don't feel like laying out for more.

I voted no, as well. It's already a law that only citizens can vote. It only seems nefarious as to why our Republican supermajority are trying to add it on the state constitution.

One thing that I did find alarming while voting today were the two Republican "observers". They were just angry looking old white ladies who are deluded into thinking they're saving democracy or some other nonsense.

Yeah, I get that. In my neighborhood, we have a handful of non-MAGA households / people but the majority are die-hard Republicans and you'll never tell them any different. I live in a semi-private golf club community and a lot of the folks here have been here for many many years. I get a lot of practice in talking to them about politics by the interactions I've had with my own family members. I suppose I'm doing what I can to win them over back to sanity when there is an opportunity, because I do like my house and my neighborhood. I don't plan to retire here, but I will probably be here until then.
 
My wife and I voted yesterday. We waited 55 minutes to get in the door. When leaving I checked the line, and it was longer than when we arrived.

I haven’t seen a post about the Walz rally in Winston-Salem Thursday, but it was a good one. We arrived at 3:30 and were on our feet until 8:30. The Carver HS gym was packed, with roll out bleachers on one side, temporary bleachers on the end of the court behind the stage, and the rest of the gym standing room only.
The Carver marching band was rocking, the rapper Common did a hell of a good original performance, and when he finally arrived from Durham, Walz was cooking. We agreed that he is even better in person.

We talked to two public school teachers (husband and wife) for a long time. They had been to the Harris rally at the Greensboro Coliseum and had to sit in nose bleed seats - said that the coliseum was packed. I really, really hope that all this energy translates to a record turnout at the polls.

It is really something. I had a conversation with one of my neighbors - who is otherwise quite an affable elderly man - and he said he's not voting for Harris because 1) Walz exaggerated/lied about his military service, and 2) he doesn't like Harris' laugh. I brought up President Bone Spurs' evasion of Vietnam and that Trump never laughs but....something something different standards for the same thing and all.

Again, this is deep red Davidson county and we just can't have the negress in the White House. 🙄
