DC anon reporting in.

 

Voted mid-day, in a NW (quadrant) neighborhood that's a combo of whites (millennials, Gen Z, boomers) hispanics (legal and illegal), and blacks. (The bar where Seth Rich last partied, and the spot where he was killed, are within walking distance.)

 

The voting experience difference between 2016 and today was amazing.

 

2016: Voted mid-day, great weather, massive turnout, everyone yapping about Hillary. Poll workers wearing Hillary t-shirts. I tried to give my photo ID (driver license) to poll worker, and she laughed in my face. Told me "no ID is needed to vote." Just asked me to give my name, then looked me up on a huge computer printout. Told me they had no record of me, or my having ever registered to vote. (I've lived in DC for 40 years.) Told me to to to another table, register "on the spot" and get a "provisional ballot."

 

While waiting in the immediate-registration /provisional ballot line, a 30-something pussy hat type ahead of me in line was proudly telling someone else in line that she'd just moved to DC, and that she'd already voted in NYC, but was going to register and vote again here – because Hillary. Another older hispanic woman said she was a citizen of El Salvador, but was "so happy to be able to vote" for Hillary.

 

A week later I called DC government, and was told that they still had no voter registration on record for me. It took me two visits to the voter registration office to get myself registered. Another person I met there with a similar problem told me DC had "purged the rolls" of Repub voters prior to the election.

 

2018: Voted midday, intermittent rain, very low turnout, zero enthusiasm and dejected, but very polite and efficient, poll workers. I was asked to present photo ID, my driver license was scanned, and while they had it in hand, I was asked to state my name address and phone number, and spell my last name. I then had to sign my name, and my signature was compared to the sig on my license. A printed voter registration/confirmation receipt was given to me. I had to present the receipt at the ballot table in order to receive my ballot.

 

I voted straight Repub, and watched as my ballot was scanned. A printed receipt confirming my ballot was given to me.

 

Anons, this is night-and-day…the Trump Effect has hit DC.
