2016 USA Presidential Elections


That NYT article was great:

Funny to see GOP strategist posting this:
?Low information voters? are a crucial part of Trump?s support

Presicely.
 
Voting went smooth this morning. In and out in 15 minutes. The polling station is the local city hall and was not nearly as busy as I expected. Though if we are only talking 300-400 people using the station, how busy could it actually get?
 
Voted by mail 2 weeks ago, and GF voted early in-person last week. Just decided to go into work late this morning to get breakfast. "Voting".

Missouri doesn't really offer early voting, just absentee. For me, living in a small town, it's not a problem to vote the day of the election. Plus I got to talk soy beans with one of the local farmers. :D
 
Trump, being vigilant and doing his part to make sure there's no voter fraud:
