Richmond, Virginia -- HEAVY Turnout

[mikeytherat]

Here in Chesterfield County the lines were out the door at 7:00 a.m. Several hundred inside waiting to vote; took about an hour, no flaring tempers, and NOBODY leaving!

I have never seen this kind of turnout in Richmond for an election !

My brother in eastern henrico was #126 at 6:30am - and he's in a democratic precinct!

2. C'mon, Virginians! We can do it! (I did my part....!) Feels great to

have voted this morn!

3. Hey, I'm in Chesterfield too!

Of course, this is my first time voting in a general in C'field, so I have nothing to compare it to.

The Harrowgate precinct (which I gather is a fairly BFE area when you compare it to, say, Midlothian) was hopping already when I got there at 6:12. Mine was the 165th ballot cast at my polling place at 7:02.

5. Ack

I am from that area, living in NorthVa area now...Any chance those are fired up Repukes?

Chesterfield is B/C land except for parts of Southern Chesterfield.

I can't see how we are getting a big K/E pull from those areas.
