How is turnout in your precinct?

I usually work at a 9th ward precinct. I'm in the hospital so can't help for this election. I did call the girl in charge and offered to help (tech assist with provisional etc) by telephone, but voters were lined up and she couldn't talk.

Our congressman should be re-elected easily, and, unfortunately no other la districts seem flippable.

What do you think?

I drove past my precinct this morning and the lines were outside and around the church.

I'm taking a little comfort in fact that my district is gerrymandered dem, but wish I would have voted early.

I vote at an elementary school near my home. There was no parking when I got there and I had to wait a few minutes to find a space.

THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I usually find a space and can get in and out within 5 to 10 minutes.

And we don't have any tight races this year. I hope this means we have a chance at kicking Steve Scalise out. Doubtful though. I think he will get the sympathy vote for getting shot.
