Just got back from voting

My district is NY-11. Nicole Malliotakis is the Congresswoman. It is a Red district, and the place where I vote is Bright, Bright Red, perhaps the Reddest in Staten Island.

Only once have I ever really had to wait more than a 10 minutes, and that was 2012. In midterm elections, there's never a wait of more than a couple of minutes.

Well, the lines were absolutely massive. I waited for nearly an hour. First, I blamed myself, getting there at 6:00. So I asked the poll worker how it's been all day. She said non-stop since the polls opened. She was in her 60's, and said that she has never seen anything like this for a midterm.

Hard to tell, but it seemed that there was a decent amount of younger voters.

Sadly, it looks like the race is called for Malliotakis. Claustrum Nov 2022 #3
