NEW: An amazing stat given to me by Davidson County Elections Administrator Jeff Roberts just now. Election Day vote totals across Nashville's 35 largest precincts have already surpassed the Election Day turnout at those precincts in the 2016 election. That's massive turnout.

That doesn't sound good for Republicans

That's my first thought. Not sure what the break down is.

The pissed off at Trump progs are out and voting.

What was the breakdown in. 16?
Posted on 11/6/18 at 3:21 pm to Jjdoc
As long as the rural areas also are showing increased turnout it's fine.

Probably a Dem lean, but not as bad as you might think
does not matter if turnout is the same statewide though

That's my first thought. Not sure what the break down is.

Clinton got 148,864
Trump got 84,550

It’s obviously likely to be heavy D leaning.
the suburbs like Green Hills and West Meade are all in the city, so it is not likely that big of a dem lean

TN across the board is voting in massive numbers, it was a +900% increase or something like that in early voting for a midterm.
Will be crazy to see the results here.

Davidson is fundamentally different than the state as a whole. Now there is not enough information to determine whether this means anything though, if it’s accurate.

Dude that is Nashville and if it is inside the city core, this is to be expected.....Bredesen machine at work there. Hopefully the turnout in Franklin, Brentwood and Hendersonville is just as agitated
Just chill

For whatever reason Tennessee has been near the bottom in voter turnout the last few election cycles, one of the worst states in the country in terms of % participation.
With them having high profile races, it makes sense that their turnout is way up.

I noticed a lot of the Mapcos didn't have the usual landscaper/construction crews hanging out.

I think most people here feel like it doesn't really matter if they vote or not in most elections because of how red the state has been the last few times or blue the inner cities have been. The media throwing us into a battle state has made everyone come out of the woodwork and vote. I am really interested to see the results.
