I dropped off my early ballot on the first. Sure beats standing in line in the heat!

 I mailed mine in while sitting in my nice air conditioned living room.  :lol:

I was standing outside but it was under the awning. The temp was in the high seventies.

My kid voted in Missouri for the first time. Lady who checked him in said he was by far the youngest person she'd seen all day.

Something so important yet people feel like it's an imposition to stand in line for a bit....

Chalk it up to just one more reason why this country is doomed...

We had a huge turnout, especially considering it was a republican primary. I'm unaffiliated so I could only vote on the constitutional ammendment. They asked if i wanted to remain that way and i answered with a firm yes. The heat didn't seem to deter people. It took me about an hour to get inside and the line was even longer when I left. They did hand out icewater so that was nice.

A guy I worked with is an election volunteer and he told me he'd never seen that many young people out voting before. I'm sure it was the constitutional amendment part that was motivating the people to vote, especially the youngsters.

Reports state the election turnout was almost as many people as the presidential election.

No. Far from it.

Lets just say I'm pretty sure you can count on him to cancel out Smit's votes. :lol:

Interesting numbers there were 900,000 total votes (yes or no) for the abortion bill, but 200,000 less for governor or senate seats.  200,000 people only made that 1 decision. And the measure lost by 160,000 votes. It would be interesting to know of those 200k votes what the split was far and against.

I'm not calling this a conspiracy I just find it fascinating that so many came out to the polls but didn't vote for any people.

It could have been 200,000 people registered as other than D or R. I have been registered as an independent almost my  whole life so I have not voted in many primary elections. What I find suspicious is the number of 2020 ballots in different states that only had Biden selected, no senate or congressional races.
