Never!
My friend in Roxborough, another Philly neighborhood, has 200 people in her line.
I assume Wasserman is making fun of Ruffini here because Ruffini is always made fun of?
Are you next going to post your edifying tarot card readings?
This is the line when I left. This is in a county that went 65-35 for Hillary.

Yeah⌠I donât believe for a second that Trump gets more than a few million votes more than he got in 2016. The rest of the extra turnout is ours.

Voted. My polling place in NH was absolutely packed at 6:30am.
NH has a Voter ID law, but allows you to vote with no ID if you sign an affidavit, which is what I do each time. There was a new lady working the desk this time and she said âoh, youâre like my son, he never carries his ID.â I said I have it, itâs just fine to vote without one. She then said âdo you want a chip in your brainâ Not clear if that was a question or an offer.

I think heâs echoing Raffini. I also think itâs a near meaningless observation.

Weâll see, but I think itâs huge for us. Us being terrified and them being mega confident isnât a bad thing though.
Iâve felt the best way to get politics out of this meta was to break the likely voter model for some time.
The word few in my post is deliberately vague and doing a lot of work lol.
That is straight voter suppression.
If people are inclined to vote with an intensity from 1-10 (nevermind work, kids to drop off, etc), that line eliminates the 1s and 2s.

My gameday social media post:
Today is the day. The day we can choose love over hate, hope over fear, equality over bigotry and science over conspiracy. We can stop being led by someone who has lied publicly over 20,000 times. We can stop being led by someone who callously disregards 230,000 dead Americans. We can stop being led by someone who openly seeks to divide us. We can stop being led by someone who openly vilifies anyone who refuses to bend the knee.
For someone who claimed to want to make America âGreat Againâ we sure donât feel very great or even working in the right direction. The ultimate irony is that the MAGA crowd has done nothing but make this country a very hateful and gross place to live. One where minorities, immigrants and the LGBTQ community live in an ever increasing level of fear. One where the American flag has been replaced by fascist symbolism. One where a large part of our country not only doesnât mind our leader constantly hurling kindergarten insults but loudly and proudly calls for the jailing of political opponents with LOCK HIM/HER UP chants. One where people I used to see as decent people have sacrificed everything they claimed to believe in to worship at the altar of Donald Trump.
We arenât better off than we were 4 years ago and we wonât be better off 4 years from now if we donât make a change. That is true even without Covid but especially true with it. If you donât like Biden fine. He was far from my first choice either. But it is very clear we canât tolerate four more years of this as a nation.

Iâm going to try not to read too much into long lines today. Itâs probably a good sign in philly suburbs, but at the same time itâs a goddamed disgrace that people have to stand in line for hours to cast a vote.
Seriously hoping there are a significant number of apathetic trump voters who decide to stay home today because of the lines and because they falsely believe it will be a Trump landslide anyway.

You stay classy, jal.
This is the tiniest of samples, but of the four climbing buddies in NH I discussed this with yesterday, three of them said they did not vote early by mail because they wanted to deliver their ballot in person on election day. And not because of worries about mailing their ballot. One said, âto stick it up his ass sidewaysâ. All three are straight ticket Dem voters. So maybe there are other Dems around the country who feel the same way and we get a bigger turnout than expected?

No, itâs a blue county in a state with a Democratic governor and secretary of state. Itâs white and suburban, so itâs definitely not suppression. Itâs big turnout. But it could just be high enthusiasm and everyone wants to vote right away.
