Funny side story about voting today. I went to the polling location shortly after it opened and encountered a long line. I hopped onto the end of it and settled in for a long wait, but a poll worker informed me that since I live in a rural area of the county I could go straight to the booth as the long line was for the urban area at the heart of my county.
A few things to note about this:
This is a positive indication for turnout. I have NEVER encountered a line for early voting in my county before.
It will likely be easier for those of you in Trump-leaning districts to vote than it will be for those in Biden leaning districts to vote, Be prepared for the possibility of a wait.
Polls are indicating that early voting has been leaning Democratic, but they also indicate that those who intend to vote on election day lean Republican just as strongly. My limited experience has borne this out. Don't get complacent.
