North Carolina Update #3
Via phone and working with a team of people, have been spot-checking polling places in Raleigh, Greenville, Charlotte and Greensboro today. Turnout is steady and high, though a bit quiet at the moment (midday is always the slowest).
It's apparent that some precincts in Raleigh are starting to swell as precinct 16-08 in Raleigh is already experiencing a 20-minute wait.
Precinct 119 doesn't have enough parking - poll workers employing "curbside assistance" which basically means bringing the ballots to a person's car and they vote there. Kind of like a drive-thru.
Any idea on who this helps or what we might gauge from this sort of turnout?

So are you supers going to sit on the sidelines until August or will you let Limbaugh voters wreak havoc on the process as they did in Texas and Ohio?

Ben Smith at politico is blogging from a diner. Already 2 people have told him they are voting for Hillary because of "chaos". The attention and voter profile for the Indiana is going to make this a sham.
