When I voted this morning I was shocked!
Let me start off by saying where I live at in S.W. Florida is as red as red can get. in 2020 It took hours to get through the line to vote. This morning I think there were two other people voting when I went in to vote. I asked the poll worker who check me in & she said it's been like this all morning.
Now I don't want to try & make any assumptions on what this means, I'm just reporting what I saw & heard.
I will say this, when I was done voting, I left with a smile on my face.
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
