12. I voted in University City this morning.
Tue Nov 5, 2024, 04:06 PM
Nov 5

It's a Blue community, but I've never seen more people voting in my precinct. A friend working there said the line was out of the gym, down the hall to the entrance, and snaking around the building into the parking lot when the polls opened at 6.
When I voted there were 2 separate lines the length of the gym to get to the registration area.
The one thing that stuck out to me was the number of women voting. Well over half the people voting were woman and I'd say 40%-50% were young women under age 30. Of course, we have Amendment 3, to overturn our draconian abortion laws, on the ballot. I have a really good feeling that this is going to be a good evening. Not for Missouri, with the exception of the abortion measure, we're too far down the rabbit hole, but for the country as a whole.
