For those who were at the polls today, how were the crowds/demographics?

I voted at 11 AM in Baton Rouge. There were lines about 6 persons deep at each of the 3 tables. Zero persons "of color" in line.

I voted very early this morning in Gramercy in St. James Parish. There was no line but I wanted to hurry and do my part so I could call and harass my hung over friends to get their arse up and go vote. I even voted before my FIL and no one gets up before him lol.

Mandeville area. All white.

I was a victim of attempted disenfranchisement when I had to show photo ID though.

I voted early, but I took my Dad to vote in a mixed area of Metairie, 90% white. I passed a precinct on Magazine, Irish Channel, walking this am. Light turnout, mostly African American and older, a few younger whites.
I wanted to add there are not the usual groups of people waving signs, etc in NOLA. No sign it was election day there that I saw and I drove through central city, down Claiborne, all the usual places.

I live on the mean streets of the 70809, the Bluebonnet/Jefferson Highway Republican-heavy Ghetto, and I asked the kind ladies today and they said it was a phenomenal turnout and steady all day.

Earlier I was with my black Glen Oaks client and his Mom called to remind him to vote and he told her "sure mom" but doesn't plan to. I'd guess he's a Dem.

Mrs Pimp is bringing her Vietnamese parents even as we speak . They hate the Dems in general.

Anecdotally-I just covered three races...aren't I special

This should be a 58-42 type result based on motivational factors. I mean, as the press will report" whites suppressing the black vote".

100% Caucasian at my poll at 7am with approximately 50 in attendance. The Parish is 95% Caucasian, so this doesn't surprise me.

There were 50 or so votes against the Incumbent.

Two white men ahead of me, one white lady in front of me, and a black lady behind me. I was #123 at my precinct at 10:30 this morning.

Went to vote around 2. During the first election it was heavy turnout with a lot of minorities. Today there was nothing but middle aged whites voting.

Only one person in line in front of me. Only Canadian I saw was a poll worker. My polling site has very few EBT card holders who vote there. As a matter fact I have never seen one. My Dad told me no one was there when he went.

I voted at a very "white" precinct in Baton Rouge. I saw no other black people or ethnic minorities there but I did see a few women. They tried to disenfranchise me by telling me that a military id wasn't proper identification. I told them that it was absurd if they were saying that an ID that requires much more scrutiny than a state id didn't prove who I was. Things began to get a bit animated, when they called over this old white woman who said, "did she verify her address?" "Let her vote."

I voted in western St Tammany. The workers there said that they had a great turn out. No need to mention Demographics because I already said I was in western St Tammany.
