Voted. Mobile AL. I've voted at this precinct ...
... for 25 years. The longest line I have ever waited in was perhaps 15-20 people. There were more than 200 ahead of me today. I got there about 45 mins after they opened.
A lot of young people and POC - pretty unusual for this precinct. There was a holding line for people updating their information. Maybe 30 people or so. All young, and mostly black. And the clothing was overwhelmingly blue- enough to notice it. That probably means nothing, but who knows.
Its all anecdotal, but still a good omen. Biden wont win Alabama. But if turn out looks like this nationally, Im optimistic. And it has to be good for Doug Jones.
