Some polls now have Romney ahead.

We are about to get some precinct reports in the next few minutes.

Why is Detroit a hugely democratic area? :sneaky:

Big turnout here this morning at 7:30 just east of Lansing, predominately white area though

Yeah but the Lansing area is pretty blue as well. Despite all the whiteys l

Yes, but this year it might change :thumbsup: Yes on prop 1, no on all the rest

Yes on prop 1 no on everything else for sure!!
And no offense I'd be shocked if Lansing wasn't blue again this year. It was overwhelmingly Obama in 08.

Michigan isn't going to flip red in this election. Pennsylvania, maybe, but not Michigan. The only reason I'm slightly concerned about Pennsylvania is residual problems from Sandy affecting polling places in Philadelphia, which would suppress turnout in a democratic area. But, I haven't read of any recent problems with philly, though.

Not a surprise but KNX CBS radio is reporting that Nevada returns in Clark County show a significant advantage for Democrats in early voting by 7% with 700,000 votes cast. I think Nevada is clearly in the bag already.

Because nearly all urban areas are?

Nevada was never in doubt, especially because Harry Reid carried it in 2010, even though he was behind in the polls.

I moved from Lansing last year. Just voted in Charlotte, long lines.

I seriously cannot believe the media spin calling this race a tie right now. This is one of the worst yet:

http://t.news.msn.com/politics/poll-roundup-obama-and-romney-neck-and-neck-on-eve-of-election

For some reason MSN chooses to highlight the only 2 national polls that are good for Romney, and mentions them in the title no less. Nevermind that 10 other polls have Obama ahead. You wouldn't know that from reading this. Nice work ignoring the late Obama surge in the PV polling MSN.

Thought it was because Detroit was poor and dependent on welfare and free cell phone handouts?

Right, urban areas....

And I can't wear a Romney pin into the precinct?

 

[MomentsofSanity]

And I can't wear a Romney pin into the precinct?

Yeah that should be covered up without question.

 

[Todd33]

I heard that some government and military buildings have a picture of Obama in them! Seriously is that mural going to change someones vote?

Yeah for sure, but now we have actual votes in place so it's (semi) noteworthy.

Still nothing other than NV so far.

Who cares if it changes votes. There is a big ass wall size mural of the man in a voting place yet I can't wear a pin. Try not to be too big of a hack.

Good one. Those other places aren't polling places. Also, this is a clear violation of Pennsylvania election law. Regardless of what you think, this is against the law. I'm still wondering what is going to be done about it, if anything can be done about it that is.

A section of the law:

no person within a polling place may electioneer or solicit votes for any political party, political body, or candidate, nor may any unauthorized written or printed materials be posted within the polling place.

Perhaps, like MomentsofSanity said, just cover it up, in the very least.

Depends on the election laws of the state. No matter what, that's still wrong IMO.

Judge has already ruled that it should be covered over. Another nontroversy.

Great. The fact that it took a judge to make this happen is the problem.

Polling station my girlfriend voted at gave her shit because we are both wearing shirts with Uncle Sam on the front with the word VOTE on the front. Poll lady insisted it was a partisan display. Insisted that she cover it. People behind her spoke up and asked the poll lady how was it partisan and what did she want her to do strip the shirt off and vote in a bra?? Poll lady continued to be dick made girlfriend cover it with a jacket.

I'm about to go vote we will see what they say at my precinct.
