Mrs. 99 tried to vote yesterday. In our county, there is only one polling place for early voting. The line was wrapped around the building and she couldn't get into the parking lot.

Hoping that the "large turnouts are good for Democrats" holds true.
HERE is something I have been hearing in Chicago that I wonder if it is a nationwide issue.
Not nearly enough "voting booths" in polling places. So...... My question is....... Why?
Was a fucking debacle for me today. Hour and a half in line to vote when it has never taken me more than 15 minutes.
Less polling place workers and a lot less voting booths (than "normal") being major factors.

I wonder who we can blame for poll workers being terrified of the job?

BINGO!
Not just terrified of the job for personal safety, but also the inevitable "legal" issues/disputes that they may have to become involved in/with.

I just saw an issues-based ("Most important issue?") exit poll that - confirmation bias and small-sample-size alert! - tracks exactly with where I think tonight is going.

Foreign Policy - 4%
Immigration - 11%
Abortion - 14%
Economy - 31%
State of Democracy - 35%

If that general split - democracy > economy; abortion > immigration - tracks, this is going to be callable tonight/early morning.
