Voted here in SW PA. There was no line. Monitors said it was slow at this polling station.

Live in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. Predominantly democratic area with mostly a white population. Monitors said traffic was higher 4 years ago.
There was no line or campaign workers outside from what I could tell. This polling station has only 6 booths and while I was voting only 2 others were used. Maybe traffic will pick up later in the day.

RCP model HRC 272 - Trump 266. No this won't happen. Please read before criticize me.

Before people start bashing me on why I would post this, I just wanted to display RCP EC model as of ~12 am EST on 11/8 (election day). I wanted to see if their state model adjusted after election day. I have seen them adjust their number 4 years ago, but didn't record their numbers last time. I wanted at least mark them down this time and prove that they adjusted their numbers to make their site seem more accurate.

Uber, Lyft, Zipcar Offer Free Or Discounted Rides To Polls On Election Day

This probably been mentioned before, but wanted to make people aware of this in case a ride is needed to the polls if interested.

--snip---
Uber was already offering their own discount for new users - $20 off their first ride with the promotional code "VOTETODAY" on Tuesday.

Like Uber, Lyft had their own discount for Election Day for new users.

New Lyft riders can use the code NOVEMBER8TH to receive $5 off their first 10 rides.

Lyft is also offering a 45 percent discount on one ride between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. in <selective cities> "to commemorate the fact that the nation will be electing our 45th President."


*** Pennsylvania voters can get a free ride from Uber and Lyft Tuesday by using the promo code "VOTEPA". [paid by super PAC My Ride]
