1. Are we going to once again hear about record turnout

Which always always always always always always always always always favors the Democrat, and find out that somehow the maga piece of shit still won? 🤬

3. I think (hope) this is a good sign for the Democrats

Sorry, I have to add the (hope) because I'm superstitious. I believe it was in Ohio where there was a record turnout to vote for Issue 1, which was an amendment to protect abortion rights. This high turnout despite Ohio passing a law prior that required a DL ID to vote.

So I'm hopeful this is a very good sign for Democrats. Even though it's concerning that people have to wait longer for their ballot, I think if people are that motivated to vote, they will stand in line as they need to.

2. So when they say

"anyone in line by 8 pm will be able to vote"

hopefully that means that even if they have to wait until more ballots are delivered.

And hopefully there won't be too many people in that line who would be unable to wait.

If it is true that it is due to "unprecedented high turnout" and not a major f-up in supplying ballots to the polls, then this is really good news.
