Arpaio balloon being used as students canvass.

These students walked out of classes at high school to spread the vote. God bless.

That balloon is unreal, wow. Really cool.

There was high turnout in my precinct, which is generally a conservative suburban district, but with a fair number of Democrats mixed in. It looked to be half the normal turnout by 9:30.

I remember everyone saying Votecastr will show Trump with a lead but Hillary is crushing in it so far. What if it is actually accurate?

I don't know, he gets a lot of people at his rallies.


Seriously though, if this was the case wouldn't it have shown in polls? More likely seems a lot of people are amped up to vote for/against both candidates. I hope you're right though.

There's no evidence whatsoever of increased Trump enthusiasm.
 
LISTEN FUCKERS

I live in a 98% white suburb in Missouri. Lots of retirees, blue collar types, lower-to-middle class workers in my district. There are no super controversial amendments on the ballot, save for a confusing cigarette tax.

I waited in line for an hour and a half. Biggest turnout I've ever seen, x5. This is NUTS.

Tell me this: How on earth are you gonna tell me Trump motivated all these obviously, normally conservative leaning folks to get out and vote. Do they really hate Hillary that much? This is my mindfuck right now. Why is turnout so high in a district like mine? Are these almost definitely conservative people all SUPER EXCITED to vote for Trump or against Hillary?

I don't buy it. This is my gut here but I'm thinking we're going to see record turnout all over the country just like this and it's all going to fall into the Clinton column. There's no way what I saw was a 44-41 split of antithapetic voters. No fucking way.

So square this, PoliGAF: Either Trump is turning out the vote in unprecedented ways, or there's a big big contingent of voters coming out secretly against him.Which one?

I'll say it's a bit of both. For example white women voting for Hillary. But I wouldn't be surprised if Trump was able to really get lots of people to the polls who normally wouldn't. This election has been so entertaining, and Trump has been so front and center of it, that it might have an effect.

I'm not exactly bed wetting, and I hope I'm wrong, but it's nothing I would rule out.

I would have assumed all the old people Trump voters would vote first, but let's not get too trusting of this brand new method whose many flaws have been listed.

Trump's Razor: Lawyer who brought the Nevada case is a construction litigator.

No wonder that was such a shit show. Guess the Nevada GOP wouldn't send someone who knew anything about election law.
