| Bad News from Larry Sabato: No Incumbent Has Ever Won After Being Tied in the Polls Before Election Day »
November 02, 2004
Tip ThreadWell, there's gonna be a LOT of information out there today. If you've got a good tip-- anything from a report you heard on the radio to crowded conditions at a polling place -- you can post it here, rather than emaling me. Well, you can email me too, but if you post it here, people can read it right away. I'll move the best ones into posts, so people see them. posted by Ace at 04:02 AM

The polls north of Indianpolis opened at 6 o'clock this morning. My polling place, which happens to be our neighborhood community center and swimming pool, had a long line by 5:45 a.m. in spite of a constant drizzle. This is Bush country, short and simple. Kerry didn't even try to crack this shell. There was very lilttle political advertising by either candidate in the last few weeks. Don't expect any surprises here.

They were lined up at my precinct in Clark County at 6:30 this morning, and it seems to have completely discombobulated the poll workers. But then, I don't think any of the poll workers are under 70, so it probably doesn't take much. Posted by: Kerry on November 2, 2004 07:55 AM

At 7:15 here, lines were long but not atrocious. I had one minor coronary when something went wrong with our voting machine (but all MY levers worked, bwahahaaaa). However, the technician fixed it in about 15 minutes. Posted by: Sailor Kenshin on November 2, 2004 08:40 AM
I went to the local Republican headquarters. I voted absentee but decided to put some time in there in a state that is not a swing state. And the place was packed. There were not enough phones for the number of volunteers. People in the HQ's said it was much busier than last time. The GOTV is working, BIG TIME! Posted by: Birkel on November 2, 2004 08:46 AM
I voted at my local precint in Plymouth, Minnesota. This is a heavily Republican suburb and voter turnout was very high with long lines. Minnesota is in play, but it's going to be tough going. This is the only state that was carried by both Mondale and Dukakis, but that was years ago. We retired Mondale when he replaced Wellstone against Norm Coleman so things are swinging to the right. ( but please don't ask me to explain Mark Dayton ). Posted by: on November 2, 2004 09:22 AM
Pretty long line at 6:45 am at my polling place here in NC. It took about an hour to get in and vote. The only real hitch was the ballot-sucking-in-machine (don't know the real name), which kept rejecting ballots 2 or 3 times before it took 'em in. I expected people to start running their ballot back and forth on a table edge like you do when trying to get a dollar to work in a change machine... No real campaign presence by the time I left, just one desultory card table with a couple of Dem campaign and MoveOn.Org signs. They didn't really try to talk to anyone while I was there. All in all, except for the crowd kinda mundane and boring. Just the way it should be. - Cliff Posted by: Cliff S. on November 2, 2004 09:31 AM
Early morning voting had lines out the door and people standing in the rain in my heavily Republican suburb of Columbus, Ohio. Posted by: Michael on November 2, 2004 09:32 AM
My husband reported VERY VERY long lines at our polling joint (East side, in Detroit.) He said it was a rather hostile environment for Republicans, and he heard chatter the whole time about Bush bringing back the draft, and that they're kicking him out of office. Ugh, I find these willing Uncle Toms very depressing ... they are fed lies and crap by the Johns, and they don't even do a bit to find the truth. Off they go- to vote in this (embarrassingly) uninformed manner. Posted by: Carin on November 2, 2004 10:17 AM
I voted at 6:30, which is a half hour after the polls open in IL. My polling place is Des Plaines right in the heart of Cook County a traditionally heavily Democratic area. Weather today is craptacular...rainy and in the mid 40's. There was a steady stream of voters but turnout didn't seem that excessive. About 1/2 the booths were being used and there were only 3-4 people in line at any given time. My $.02, There aren't really any hotly contested races in IL (one of the congressional races in Lake county is). Obama has had the senate race locked up for a while. But, most interesting of all, Daley has kept his distance from Kerry for the most part. In Chicago politics, no open embrace from the mayor is a very telling sign of the lack of support from the machine. Daley has towed the democratic line but he is a strong supporter of National security following 9-11 as well as other info that has shown Chicago targets of potential terrorist attacks. Daley has also made quite a few pro-W statements in the past few years. Additionally, Blacks in Cook county just aren't energized to support Kerry like they were Clinton and Gore. Sure Jesse Jackson had to jump on board in the past month to try to fix this but there is just no appeal to these voters from Kerry. So, all things considered Kerry still wins IL but with a much closer margin than expected, which will help W in the popular vote. This is unfortunate because IL was winnable this year if the IL GOP just had its act together. Posted by: WindyCity on November 2, 2004 10:30 AM

30 minute wait in paradise by the Pacific Ocean this morning.....unfortunately, they're all Kerry voters... Posted by: David on November 2, 2004 11:52 AM
When I finally checked my phone messages after a week of playing the new Grand Theft Auto game, I was surprised to find one pro-Kerry message from noted political philosopher Sarah Jessica Parker and roughly fifty-seven pro-Bush messages from Laura Bush, Ben Stein, Rudy Giuliani, and other Republicans. I don't know how effective telemarketing is, but in Akron, the GOP is certainly making an effort. On Sunday afternoon a Kerry supporter knocked on the door and I stammered for about a half-minute trying to find a pleasant way to say "there's nothing for you here." He was a nice enough guy, though. Posted by: Guy T. on November 2, 2004 12:20 PM
Voted up here in Eagle County CO., late of Kobe fame, this morning. They say that over 40% of the county voted early or with absentee ballots, but it was still busy at the polls this morning. I got there at 7 am sharp and was about 50th in line outside (5 degrees, pretty dang cold). By the time I got my ballot there were about 200 hundred people crowded into the pavillion, but everyone was very upbeat and seemed to be glad to finally be voting. Go Bush!

As Kash Patel takes over as FBI head, unpardoned election-rigger Peter Strzok deletes his entire twitter history
My speculation: what he's really deleting are his DMs, which probably feature a fair few Deep State operatives coordinating with him. Don't worry, Elon Musk will resurrect those DMs. Dick Durbin says Patel is a rilly bad guy, you guys I prefer the heat. I can always wear shorts and flip-flops if it gets hot. But when it's below freezing it's not like I can just put pants on.-- Disinterested FDA Director
More fraudulent journalism at CBS: 60 Minutes interviewed two people who lost their jobs as a result of DOGE overhauling USAID. Kristina Drye & Adam Dubard emoted on behalf of thousands of USAID employees who have been terminated, but neither Kristina nor Adam was actually an employee of USAID. Clever word parsing and dishonest editing conveyed otherwise. [Buck]

Axios focus group: 11 out of 11 swing voters support Trump and Musk's actions, particularly their cuts to the federal budget
Axios notes that voters aren't buying the newest Dem op, which claims that the 100-billionaire Musk spent millions to get Trump elected so that he could raid the Social Security office and steal $700 checks from grandmas. For some reason! lol, eat a dick, Axios

Trump to rude witchface c**t Kaitlin Collins: "Excuse me, we haven't asked you to speak yet"
Update: Trump pummels a female CNN reporter who sounds like Barbra-Streisand-nosed Kaitlin Collins Her "question" -- her declaration thinly disguised as a question -- is that Russia could just withdraw its troops from Ukraine, so why do we need peace negotiations? Well, Genius, because armies that are winning do not just walk away without getting the losing army to give them something. It's so f***ing stupid. I think they're all autistic.
Maxine Waters explains why she doesn't want Musk auditing the Grifter Government: "We don't know what they have on us"
Even the devil sometimes tells the truth Chuck Grassley Brooke Rollins was confirmed as SecAg by big margin, like 74-26 or something like that If Trump pulls this off, he'll have an excellent chance to be snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize!-- Posted by: Don Black
