There’s the city (Reading) and the rest is Pennsyltucky.
Reading has a very high Hispanic population. Let’s hope they’re pissed off enough by TFG’s recent comments to vote.

Son is currently waiting in line at our precinct . He has been waiting about 30 minutes.

In 2020, my precinct had about 1,800 cast ballots. Trump +390

Son was in line 2 hours, I was in line 2.5 hours.

In my precinct there were a lot of folks in line with Trump clothing. One person wore a safety vest in reference to the Garbage debacle; folks working in landfills or collecting trash usually wear safety vests and reflective clothing. Also, there were a lot of people who weren't sure of the voting location, and they were wearing Trump stuff. I was number 495 and voted a little after 1 PM. The lady said there were about 1,500 registered voters at my polling site. In 2020, Trump was +390. If I were to hazard a guess, total votes will exceed 1,200 and I expect Trump will win the majority and have at least the same net or maybe more when all is said and done.

Overall, my experience was pretty bad. The longest wait I've ever experienced voting. There were a lot of Trump supporters in the line I stood in and the ones near me didn't appear to have voted in any other recent elections. They seemed pretty motivated and hopeful.

Wife will vote after work. I expect she will have a long wait. Polls close at 8 PM though I expect some places will have people standing in line long after the official close.

Not a pleasant experience; wife, kid and I stood in line +2 hours to vote. Proud most folks showed up despite the wait (and the outcome). County-wide, Trump did better than his previous 2 elections. Same story across most of PA. I think, in the end, pocket book issues were a major factor and voters took it out at the top of the ticket (for the most part). I'm going to assume most of the state representatives were reelected.

A quick look at Reading confirmed what I thought/expected. No support from that area, which is a Democratic stronghold. Outside the City, voter turnout averaged 70-80+%, while most precincts in Reading had 40-50% turnout. This lack of participation in Reading has been going on for decades.
