“I’m so overwhelmed with emotion, let me whip out my camera and film myself crying for the engagement of TikTok.”
Like someone else said, I can’t fathom how slow of a news day it’s got to be to write an article about a TikTok reaction.
yeah, they’re voting, but for who? That’s the million dollar question.
A quick drive through the parking lot counting truck nuts would probably answer that.
I voted early at the county Board of Elections yesterday in Ohio. There is HEAVY turnout for early voting. The parking lot (which is mostly empty for any other elections) was packed with people circling waiting for a spot. There was a nonstop stream of people coming in and out. I only had to wait for about 2 minutes for a voting machine though. This is the third week of early voting in Ohio.
I’m in East TN and it’s great. I hope it’s all blue wave. I tried Monday in the afternoon and the line was an hour long. Had to leave to get my kid so I’m trying again today. My boss said she had to wait two hours on Tuesday.
Also East TN. Took myself and the wife about 40 minutes of waiting to get ours cast.
I love “news” articles that are just summaries of tik toks.

It’s great to see people do their civic duty. A part of me does wonder whether civic engagement is as laudable when people are voting for others’ rights to be taken away. Let me refrain from being a negative Nancy tho
Fortunately she’s in Davidson county, which is very blue. After 2020 the Republican state legislature redistricted in a way that cracks Nashville (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee’s_congressional_districts#/media/File%3ATennessee’s_Congressonal_Districts_(2023-).png). That got Nashville voters pretty pissed.
That’s pretty amazing.
