Summary
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced that the state is on track to break its voter turnout record, with 45.8% of registered voters having already cast early or absentee ballots.
As a critical battleground, Michigan could play a key role in deciding both the presidential race and control of Congress. Polling averages show Vice President Harris narrowly leading Trump in the state.
Michigan also hosts an important Senate race to replace retiring Democrat Debbie Stabenow and several competitive House contests.
Polls remain open until 8 p.m.
When people show up, Republicans usually don’t do so well.
I’m cautiously optimistic.
As of right now they are showing Trump is winning that state. We had huge numbers turn up for early voting in Oklahoma. To fucking bad that a majority of them were there to vote for nazi fucking trump.
I am getting 2016 vibes all over again. America do we really prefer a fucking dementia, racist, piece of shit as president rather than a woman?
IT SHOULDN’T EVEN BE CLOSE!
There has been a good chunk of optimistic articles out over the last 48 hours. I’m doing my best to not give them much thought because I don’t want to lose twice if Trump wins. My vote is cast which at this point is all I can do. Here’s to hoping there’s a major upset or all of the swing states go blue tonight and we can all rest easy.
Yes. Yes it is. I’m gonna go have a beer and not think about it. Or maybe a Xanax.
Turnout in my swing state district was high today when I went to the polls.
But we’re a pretty liberal district.
Still left me feeling cautiously optimistic.
(yes, this is legitimately one of the available stickers, and I was super pumped about it)
But Owen…you’re Canadian…! :-O
What state/locale is this sticker from? I very much admire this sense of humor. Were the other options as entertaining?
Michigan, and that’s where Jordan’s werewolf came from too. They’re all pretty fantastic. Someone in another thread paired their cat sticker with a Harris Walz cat hat.
The only downside to being a permanent absentee voter is that I didn’t get one of these.
I actually dropped mine off at the township clerks office just so I could get one of the new stickers.
Sadly, they were out of the werewolf.
Honest to God I think these stickers might be a significant driver for the increased turnout.
As a European I’m low key considering looking for one on EBay after the election. It’s one for the history books.
Non-american here, what does the werewolf represent? (Or is it just because it’s cool?)
Michigan had a contest to design an “I Voted” sticker, the winning design was from a 12 year old.
You’re from MI? You related to a Jacob? Won’t ask or say anything further.
50/43 Women/men
It’s a women’s wave
Bad for Republicans
It’s gotta be those sweet stickers.
Can’t wait for some people to cite increased voter turnout as evidence of fraud!
Sadly it’s easy: More votes being cast is clear evidence of immigrants being bussed from voting place to voting place to vote multiple times, or of ballot stuffing or of loads of mail-in votes from fake people.
Too many people are arguing from the conclusion (there are millions of fake voters) to what the data should be instead of using the evidence to the best/most accurate conclusion.
