Strictly anecdotal from voting today

Longest line I've seen since Obama's first general. It was above-average turnout BUT the holdup seemed to be related more to a shortage of poll workers than to the actual number of voters.

Based solely on visual impressions, looked like a split of Trump voters on one side & lots of Hilary voters with a handful of Sanders voter on the other. I mean, if I had to guess who was doing what anyway.

edit to clarify: Only 'cause I occasionally get misinterpreted, my "visual impressions" of the voters in my precinct was not any sort of triple secret code for "the black folks voting for Clinton". It's a relatively white precinct, race was not involved in my observation in any way. Truth is the phrasing was code for "a lot of really old white women with vision problems" (multiple voters at least 80 years old wearing blackout sunglasses in broad daylight)
