Good morning - The turnout's going to be huge today!
We live in the mostly student housing off-campus area near the Ohio State University. We went over to vote early about 15 minutes before the polls opened with juice and donuts to celebrate voting with our neighbors. By the time the polls opened at 6:30, there were about 20 people in line.
By comparison, in most years the 20th person in my precinct sometimes doesn't vote until late morning!!
There was a challenger at the poll, but he seemed to just be observing. The poll workers looked a bit harried trying to get things moving.
By the time we voted, there were 40-50 people in line in this heavily Dem, mostly student precinct. Things are already moving slowly. It's going to be a long day for the poll workers.
