I’m an election judge in Minnesota. Turnout way higher than expected here today, and we already ran out of original allotment of ballots with 2 hours still to go.

Got a few more from HQ, but have been told to prepare for taking tallies on “unofficial” ballots and hand tallying.

I’m in a heavily Democratic precinct, so do the math.

Ya'll gonna elect that woman beater Attorney General?

On the one hand domestic abuse is very bad, on the other hand he is black and Muslim, so that's like 2 free passes.

"So you say you're voting for Ellison?"
OK, 1 for Ellison, 2 for his Republican competitor...
"Next!"

People are dumb.

This isn’t difficult.

Take ten minutes to look over turn out for different types of elections over the last 10 years and plan for 20% more ballots than the last commensurate election in case it has some heat on it.

We are talking about Minnesota. You know, the place where they found just enough votes in the trunk of a car to get Al Franken elected.

So this is why the media is crickets on the Muslim want to be AG ? They will wait until he wins tonight and then start the media blitz on what whors these women are along with the fact they brought this on themselves. I see you working Minnesota you should be real proud of your state for electing this piece of shite!

Keith Ellison is hardly a devout Muslim. He used to be Christian and if I had to bet on it, I seriously doubt he's a "Muslim" anymore than Trump is a "Christian".

I don’t know. That time he blamed 9/11 on the Jews was pretty convincing.


I thought that was Richard Spencer.

You think this is something to lie/brag about? It’s pretty much a “volunteer-ish” thing they pay you $10 an hour for. I’m not claiming to be Clarence Thomas here.

Sound like the precinct is going to pull another one of those 100+ Voters over the age of 116 . It would be interesting to see how the polls would be if everyone had to show up to vote and show voter I.D.s .

We just ran out of the additional ones they brought, and there are no more to be had of the kind read by the machine. Out all over the city.

We have to use copies and count them by hand.

One of my colleagues stands by the machine now as we feed these into a separate slot. We refer to him as “comrade”.
