I just voted in Jamestown Township Michigan. When I arrived the parking lot was full. I was voter number 562 and cast my ballot a little before 2 pm. A person working the polls said turnout was steady all day, which was confirmed also by a man in line who drove by the polling place earlier that morning.
There were roughly 20 people voting as I left with a healthy stream of people coming and going. Assuming by 2:00 PM, 575 people voted…
| Jamestown TWP P1 | Republican | Democrat | Other | Total |
| 2016 Turnout | 924 | 120 | 13 | 1057 |
| 2018 Turnout @ 2PM | 575 |
Given those numbers, we can estimate that turnout in this precinct will exceed 2016:
| Polls opened for 7 hours so far | Votes per hour (7 hrs / 575 votes) | 82.14 |
| Total hours polls open (7am to 8pm) | 13 hours | |
| Predicted Turnout | (13 hrs x 82.14 voters per hr) | 1068 |
At least in this small sample, it looks like Trumps base is coming out in force!
