Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Murphy, Sam and Jody after the show.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's one week until the election, and I did something
yesterday I've never done before.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
I early voted. Now it had met like a week ago.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
If you'd ask me if I was going to early vote,
I'd be like, no, I'm going to vote on election day, dork.
But everything got like I didn't realize that so many
millions of people were going to early vote, and I
kept hearing about four hour lines for early voting, and
I thought, election day is going to sneak up, and
what if it's a four our five hour line that
(00:32):
day and then that's your last shot?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Well, not that, I mean, Tuesday is a workday, you know.
I mean I remember in school it was a day off,
but you know about that, but it's really not, and
I mean it's not now and that's the reason I
did it too. But this is this is probably the
third time I've done early voting. I mean, it's you
had to wait in line for a while, but at
least it it gets it done. And then on Tuesday,
(00:56):
I mean, since we're gonna be working anyway, I don't
have to worry about trying to somehow make that work.
On two.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I was working yesterday too. I just had to fit
it in. Sam, did you early vote?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
No, I'm gonna wait. My intention was to do it yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
But when I drove past the library, the line was
out the door, and it's like, you know, I'm not today.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I still have tomorrow. It was a nice day though.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yes, yeah, Look, I mean I waited for an hour
and that was I mean, I say I waited for
an hour. The whole process took me an hour. I
probably waited for about fifty minutes of that, you know,
But the but the line it was, it was seamless.
It was very smooth, the way that they were doing
in and out and routing you to get your you know,
to check in and the card and all that good stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
So what did you vote for? I'm gonna tell you
something else.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
If you were to, if you go online, if you
go on social and check up, check the pulse of
people that way, you're not going to feel right if
you go out and which you should do on the
daily and try to be social even in COVID world safely.
Like while the whole time I was there and I
was in line about an hour, I went late than Murphy.
(02:00):
We went to the same place, but I went later
in the day, so from start to finish, I was
a little bit over an hour, but nicest people Like
those conversations in line were just I can't believe it's
so you know, nice today, or I can't believe that
the line is so nice. And the girl in front
of me said, I assumed I would run into people
(02:20):
I know, and I don't know anybody.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Any politics talk.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
No, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Nice, beautiful, beautiful respectfulness, the realization that you're there to
do something private, that is your right, that is your
privilege to do that.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
It just felt, really, it felt really good to me.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's like, this is not what's really what's really going
on was out there, not what you see online, you know,
where people have to spew their you know, feelings on everything,
especially the negative ones.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I mean, as long as I've been voting, I don't
think I've ever heard anybody talk politics in the election line.
That's kind of the wrong place to do that.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
The wrong place to do the inappropriate.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, but you know the reason that I decided yesterday
because I mean, I'd seen the line twice before and
I'm like, it's either going to be an hour today
or it's going to be an hour on election day.
I mean, depending on if you're you know, if you're
in a smaller area that doesn't have as many you know, voters,
and the lines are going to be as long. But
the truth is they're already predicting a record turnout, you know,
(03:25):
for this election. So you're either going to wait an
hour in the early voting line or you're going to
wait an hour on election.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
It's a it's record voting.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It's record on mail in ballots too. They've never had
so many mail in ballots and they've never had so
much early voting. The last record early voting was twenty sixteen,
so this one is even more so. So I thought
that was super interesting.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
You wear a mask. Of course they're social distancing. Yes,
the line was social.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
We had the markers on the floor all that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
It was impressive, and even like.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
The sanitizer or state sheriff's officers who were in charge
of everything were just so super sweet. In fact, where
I was voting closed at seven pm and he was
explaining to someone in the front in front of me
in line, I wasn't doing a bunch of chattiness. I
wasn't talking a lot, but I was looking at my
phone a little bit and.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Looking at the sites.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But he was saying that if you are in line
at seven pm, you get to vote. But once seven
pm that clock strikes, they cut the line. At the end,
they go, okay, this is the end of the line.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
He says.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
If you're running toward the line in the parking lot
at seven pm, you're just getting exercise. So that's just
I think that's an interesting thing to throw out there
and to share with everyone. Now, know, on election night,
if you are there in line and when the polls close,
you still get to vote.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I know that's a fact.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And now you're going to go vote again on election.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Day, do you say that you got a two for
this year?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Now that you say that, And I know it's different
by state, but that actually makes sense now, Sam, the
reason that the early voting has to shut down is
because they need to reconcile all of those that already
registered to make sure that those aren't the printed rolls
when election day gets here. At good point, did not
know that.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
One of the funniest parts of my of my standing
in line for an hour because you know, I'm not patient,
but it was like I really wanted to get it done,
so I just enjoyed it. And the weather was beautiful.
The couple behind me, there was a man and wife
behind me, and they were having discussions about what they
were going to vote, and then they were deciding where
(05:33):
to eat. And that was the harder discussion.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
That's funny, trying.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
To decide where to go to dinner after this, because
if she was like, I'm not standing in line for
an hour and going home and cooking, And I started
to say, yes, ma'am, you tell.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Her right, did you get a sticker?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I didn't get a sticker. I didn't get a finger
thing or anything.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Maybe they're not doing stickers because of the because of COVID,
you know, maybe they're not doing the pass.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Out I didn't need. I didn't need one.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well, I mean a serious I think that's the reason,
because even when I signed the signature bad as you
did too, Joe, you took a pin from one basket
sign it and put a pin in the other basket
because they were sanitizing the yes. So yeah, that's why
they're not passing stickers out.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
COVID save Yeah, yeah, Murphy's got that answer for you.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Anyway, Today is the last isn't today the last day?
To well? Guess? YEA varies by area, It.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Varies by state, right exactly. You know in our particular area,
today's the last day. But yeah, I mean I would
guess in most places that you know, it's it's wanning
down because what we're a week away.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
And Sam, where you'll be voting early today is out
in the country where my pop all voted. Yeah, you
know that he already early voted too.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I won't see him in line.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
No, you won't missed any part of the show. Get
it all on the Murphy Salmon Jody Podcast.
