You are probably registered R.
Along those lines, my wife is a registered D and the candidates and their volunteers have been knocking on the door several times a week to talk to her. One of them came up the drive when I was getting out of my car one day and asked for her. I told him she wasn't home yet; he looked at his clipboard, saw I was registered as "other" and left. :lol:
We had a crap load of people show up asking to talk to us. I was independent until the 2016 primary where I switch to vote against Hillary. When I went to get my drivers license renewed I switched back to independent in hopes that less people come knocking on my door.

I bet the Poll Police have some snazzy uniforms.
Not sure about Trump's, but ours do...

Has Trump tweeted anything stupid about still being president after today's election?
Rumor has it that Senator Joe Donnelly of Indiana is paying for Facebook ads for his so-called opponent on the libertarian ticket. Donnelly is trying to steal the election? Isn’t that what Russia did!?
Nice of him to admit the election shenanigans by Russia, finally.

It would be a great day if the human ham sandwich is finally ousted in WI.

I didn't get any calls, but I do hope both Mark Harris and Dan McCready lose badly.

He sucks and I will take pleasure in (hopefully) seeing him lose today.

No line at my precinct, but I signed in on the 20th page 50 names each, so it had been busy earlier.

A guy came up to me in the parking lot outside a voting place and started asking me if I knew about atomic energy mapping that hasn't been invented yet, but is the only science from the future that can prove that Jesus was and is still alive behind the Shroud of Turin? I thanked him for MAGA and was on my way.

Mike Kelly looks like bits and pieces of other old, white rich republicans put back together.

Canvaser showed up at the house at 6:15 to make sure my wife voted. I told her to give him her sticker.

I have been enjoying watching election returns since 1996. Really looking forward to seeing if the Blue Wave is real or just something the media has been pushing to keep Trumpers at home.

So far it's not working out for the Dems in Indiana, but it's early and they have extended the polls there in mostly Democratic areas.

I am settling in on CNN, how are you tracking it? Kind of want to watch Fox for the lulz but I need all of my brain cells in the morning.

I'm having difficulty understanding what the panic is on the Right. This has happened in what, every single midterm after a new president was elected?

Obviously it's not ideal, but this isn't really unexpected. I'm content with Beto not getting elected and holding the Senate. Losing the House was almost inevitable after 2016.
