Lively. I went and finally voted.

They are estimating some places in west Michigan will hit 70% for the turnout rate.

In some of the news, it looks like many voted early...so hard to say if more or less will vote this cycle, or whether they voted early instead. Any ideas on Trump-Clinton enthusiasm?

I think the Hillary voters did... I think Trump voters have a chance to win if they go out and vote...

Most people in NC voted early from what I have heard. There were still many people voting on election day in NC.

Side note: The people at the polls were so friendly. Everyone was respectful and I appreciated that after all the horrible stories I have heard about people being harrassed at the polls.

As soon as I get off from work I will.

We should do away with early voting.

I know somebody working at a polling place and she said not many people have been voting. Granted, I'm sure the working crowd will come out in force after 5.

I popped in and out of my precinct within just a few minutes. The traffic was same as usual, walked right up to pick up my paper ballot. This was around 3 this afternoon. What I did notice that was different is there were only a dozen or so signs at the entrance to the parking lot. Usually it is plastered with signs.
