Went to a local post office yesterday. Across the street is the county
office building that houses the Board of Elections. There literally were
hundreds of people in line outside in the rain waiting to get inside to
vote early and cars parked all over the place. Usually, it is a pretty
sleepy street. The majority of registered voters in this county are
Independents, though Repubs outnumber Dems and usually win all the local
elective offices. I don't know who the lined up voters were going to
vote for, but I've never seen a line like that one for any election
here. The local sheriff had a couple of deputies there in case, I
suppose, any of the local militia thugs showed up to intimidate. Our
sheriff, an old-school Repub, doesn't like nonsense at the polls. He's a
good guy and we vote for him when he runs.

My guess is they are Trump voters. Only people who are committed would
stand in the rain to vote.
Democrats are the ones who claim voter suppression if there is the
slightest inconvenience in going to the polls.

News is replete with GOP efforts to hold down the vote and to not count
votes legitimately cast. Our precinct votes at a local elementary
school, in its cafeteria/gym. The wait, if there is one, usually is very
short. The two parties have tent booths set up in the parking lot, but
no electioneering is allowed any where close to where the entrance to
the school itself is located. It's been a couple of election cycles
since I've seen loonytarian booths or literature anywhere in the county.
The Repubs have some fairly ugly name-calling yard signs and
mini-billboards set up. I have seen a lot of Biden/Harris yard
signs...we've got two of them up in our front and side yards.
