MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Voting in the Nov. 6 General Election has already reached nearly one million by people who have voted by mail. But today is the first day of in-person early voting and some South Florida voters camped out overnight to be the first in line to cast their ballots.

About a dozen people slept in tents outside of the Shenandoah Library to cast their ballot as soon as the doors opened. Several more early risers showed up to join them. The voters, donning blue “Gillum” T-shirts wanted to see, what they call, the “blue wave” at the polls.

Musicians entertained the morning crew, while others brought pastries and coffee.

When asked why they were voting Democrat, many people echoed similar values that were their top priorities, including the environment, healthcare, and immigration.

3. I know people in Florida sleeping in tents because they have nowhere else to go after the hurricane

They're none too happy with the pace of recovery.

4. I think turnout in the Panhandle is really going to suffer.

There are a LOT of places that are just completely devastated, voting centers completely wiped out, and they're not going to be able to get them up and running in the next two weeks. There will still be voting of course, but I wouldn't be surprised to see panhandle voting down 15-20 percent from usual midterm turnout.

7. not that i wish anyone ill will via hurricane

but good.

[bearsfootball516]

8. Same.

[AdamGG]

21. only if the hurricane could selectively destroy only Maralago

[Phoenix61]

15. Bay County which is the Panama City area

will have only 5 polling stations. Haven't heard when/if early voting will start.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. rolling polling

A state run by the competent party might have rolling voting centers travelling with relief crews. Get your food, water, clothing and ballot here, folks!

[malaise]

26. Great idea

[malaise]

6. This was in Miami-Dade

But you're right about the Panhandle

[AZ8theist]

13. I love your commentary, Malaise, but...

that little insect thingy in the corner drives me crazy. I'm always pocking my screen trying to kill the bug!!!

[malaise]

16. Bug stays until the big Con goes

[AZ8theist]

23. Right ON!!!

[MontanaMama]

27. I always wondered about the

fly in the corner of your posts. NOW I know.

[malaise]

29. It started as a protest over a DUer being banned

And then the Con and his goons stole the elections - the rest is history.

[LiberalArkie]

34. You mean this bug?

[malaise]

35. Yep

[Bengus81]

10. COOL!!! BUMP THIS UP!!!

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. My county is going with the minimum mandated number of days so I have to wait until Saturday to vote

[malaise]

14. Hmmmmmmm!

Funny how these morons talk about free and fair elections and never practice what they preach.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

18. no early voting in KY

You have to show cause before you can vote early in Kentucky.

I'd settle for a blue trickle, here.

[malaise]

39. I remember when DUers wished that citizens would line up to vote the way they lined up for iPhones

and Black Friday sales. It's wonderful to watch.
Vote them out.

[Callmecrazy]

40. No one in line when I voted yesterday...

I'm in west Broward.

[malaise]

41. Great

42. I'm poll watching for early voting in Jacksonville ,FL.

There are 20 places you can early vote here, at the one I go to we had 429 votes Monday and 433 Tuesday. Multiply that x 20 and the vote seems to be going strong here. I live in a very purple verging on red neighborhood and have been pleased at the number of minorities voting. Men and women are about evenly split with all ages showing up, more young folks after 4:30 and more older folks in the am and early pm. I have also seen a number of people from Puerto Rico showing up to use the language machine and change their address to here. I'm hoping every one of them vote Dem. Since most of the Puerto Ricans that moved here after Irma, moved to So. & Central FL., I'm hoping they're seeing the same thing only x10.

#BLUEWAVE
