Glue teabags all over our heads and march on DC dressed in pantaloons and tricorner hats, saying stupid, inaccurate things about the countries history while complaining about "....freeloaders who want the government to wipe thier asses for them."......then bitch because the city didn't put out enough toilet paper for the porta-potties.

Hey! That sounds familiar! "Keep your government hands of my Medicare!" anyone?

Electronic with a toilet paper roll inside. (Well, it was a thermal printer!)Who the hell uses those anymore?

To the OP's question, turnout has been steady all day. Patty, (SO) is the stern faced lady behind the table checking that you know your home address! Then she hands you your check in chit! (For once I get to use the correct usage for THAT word! Go figure...)
I think I'll go pour meself a stiff one and watch Chris Matthews! Will his overly huge head explode? Enquiring minds want to know!

Our states (WA and OR) are notoriously blue, but I think we are seeing record turnouts today. I think OR is around 79% and WA at 81%.

Same here. The sleeves were funny though, they had 'SECRET SLEEVE' in large red letters across the top. Me and the worker had a good laugh about that
