    Quick anecdotal evidence to share----I went to my polling place this morning. My precinct is heavily Republican to the tune of 69 or 70 percent. -----Turnout was VERY heavy. Poll workers said it was busier than any off year election they could remember.

    I'm sure that is the case at all voting places regardless of how heavily that precinct leans.

    But Democrats always get a lead on early voting. Republicans pick up later once they get off work. :)

    The weather in North Carolina today will not help the voter turnout. It is raining across most of the state and severe weather is expected this afternoon.

    Hopefully voter turnout remains high and follows the established trend in early voting.

    That's why I thought it was good anecdotal evidence . Large turnout in heavy repub precinct. May bode well for repubs

    If you ain't working, you can stop off at the polling place on the way to Starbucks to buy your $5 latte with your EBT card.

    And it did. Excellent night for Republicans and The President.

    It came to fruition. The out party lost seats in The Senate. No blue wave materialized.

    --And that is exactly what happened. The wave yesterday was a red constitutionlist wave and was heavily reliant on backing The President and voting for a constitutionalist court system. It's normal for the party in power to lose house seats in the off year. Democrats did not pick up anywhere near what they thought they would. In fact, it's an embarrassment for them given that 45 Republican house members retired.

    The Democrats has a 91% chance of winning the House in the latest surveys. They managed to win the house by a small number of seats. Their performance in terms of taking the house by a tiny margin is a significant under performance historically.
