The wife and I voted today in TN

Seemed like all other past early voting experiences. Everybody seemed focused and all voters seemed like they wanted to be there to vote. Line was not very long....about 15 minutes. Lines seemed about the same as the last few times voting early.

The line at my polling place was two blocks long. But all in all, the process was smooth.

I have never waited in line to vote early before. I waited for 15-20 min. SOme not wearing face coverings. A small town with lots of Trump supporters. Many times, since this is such a red area, I think why do I bother to vote but I know I am going to cancel out one of those idiots voting for Trump.

I did yesterday! Memphis burb.

Memphis early voting is up 84%!!!

For anyone not in a red state, this is HUGE! Despondency about voting, beliefs "it won't effect me" & "both parties are tge same" are rampant here!

No amount of evidence seems to be able to permeate this sort of thinking.

So this is HUGE!
