Massive voter turnout in Virginia Beach on first day of in person voting. [View all]

We got there at 3:00 PM and the line snaked around to the point where at 4:00 PM we are finally carded to vote.
The Democrats wisely put up their display tent on the sidewalk where voters were lining up. The repugs were over 300 feet away on the opposite flank with zero voter curiosity. So their crotchety old ladies tried to jam their trump bs pamphlets on people. I was polite. No thank you. I have done my own research.
Later a young trumpster told them to give that bs to the people. the ladies said they don't want them. the trumpster said the voters don't know what they want.

The people working there said it had been extremely busy all day! I met who I hope becomes the next mayor, Sabrina Wooten and we talked for several minutes.
GOTV!
