I know, I know, we go through this all the time. First we get the reports of heavy turnout, then we get the exit polls (not sure there are any here) then we get surprised and sometimes disappointed.

So ignore this if you don’t want to go through it again, but here’s a report from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The election between Democrat Conor Lamb and Republican Rick Saccone got underway at 7 Tuesday morning, and anecdotal word from pollworkers was that turnout was high for a special election. At Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, a polling place in Pleasant Hills, turnout was approaching 25 percent by about 12:30 p.m., … At the Castle Shannon Public Library, there were lines of voters when the doors opened at 7 a.m. A longtime volunteer said that during the presidential election, it took until noon to reach 30 voters. They reached that number by 8:15 Tuesday. ... Overall this morning, a higher than normal number of voters had cast ballots at the church. “Everybody seems to be voting before they go to work,” one poll worker said. “We’ve been very busy.”

I’m going to assume a high turnout helps Lamb, but you know what they say about assuming.

So take it with a big grain of salt and if you live in the district and haven’t voted yet, what are you reading this for?! Get out and vote!

RESIST!
