Anecdotal early voting observation.

Hubby just came home from voting in a designated Seminole county election area. Sem Cty is mostly Republican, at least in past elections. He said the line was heavier than expected with more than thirty people with line wrapping around building. A lot of minorities and young people. Only one man in a suit.

Not sure what all that means, but I do know that in the precinct we're assigned to vote in, has been mostly white and older voters.

When I went earlier two weeks ago I was one of about 5 there

She was routed out a back door then back inside to register. Once her ballot was printed there was only one open booth in which to vote. Had to wait for 5-6 others to submit her ballot to be scanned

3 votes from our household for Gillum, Nelson, and Thompson

There was no line back then, but all the booths were taken, so, yes. It is picking up.

If they can't steal the vote, I think it's good news for us.
