Ted Williams Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 I've heard three of the four early voting sites in Broome County have huge lines to early vote today, on the first day of early voting. I got coffee at the Dunkin Donuts on Reynolds Road just now, and the parking lot was packed at the mall. WBNG showed a long line at the downtown Library, and I heard there was also a big line at CCE on Front Street. It will probably die down as the week goes on, but I've got to think this is a good sign for Republican, who more than Democrats have vowed to vote in person.

Endwellian Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 I voted at the Endicott library, waited for 45 minutes. I’ve never waited that long in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another example of how polarized we are these days. Also when i went to the Endicott Library around 4:30 today the poll workers said that earlier in the day there was a 2 hour wait.

PeteMoss Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 There are something like 111 polling locations in Broome County. Squashing those people who want to vote into 4 locations will cause excessive waiting times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Property & Casualty Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 I saw the line at the mall. Glad to see people motivated enough to wait in the rain like that. Definitely no voter apathy in that group. Myself, I will be voting in person on November 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane from Endicott Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 I read some people waited as long as three hours yesterday. I’m overweight and don’t think I can stand for more than 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 If Biden wins we go into economic depression. The stock market will tank. Your 401k will take a huge hit. Just think back to Feb. Trump brought us back from that. An “orderly Trump win” would propel the benchmark S&P 500 index higher by 13% to approximately 3,900, wrote a team of JPMorgan strategists led by Dubravko Lakos-Bujas. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/trump-election-win-stock-market-best-casejpmorgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binghamtonian Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Had a personal day today from work so I decided to go vote downtown, waited 1 hour 45 minutes in line to vote. Never waited that long before, I'd say longest ever was maybe 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people who throw phrases such as "communist", "socialist" and "fascist" around like throwing candy at a parade have never cracked a book on political or social philosophy.
