The view from Valencia County, New Mexico- longest winning streak in US
I'm a poll challenger in Los Lunas, NM. Rural
republican county that has picked the winning candidate correctly since 1952. What I've seen today:
1. Fewer voters than expected. Many early votes cast, but Republicans expected to vote en masse today is not happening yet.
2. Several first time voters in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. They appear to be Biden voters. Exciting!
3. Like having good "gaydar," it seems very easy to infer voter preference by dress, covid conformity, demeanor, and the company they keep. This worries me because it makes it easier for republicans to cherry pick who to challenge or harass.
4. One voter who was trying to vote multiple times.
I expected much higher turnout here today. The fact that it is low is a good sign for Biden.
