turnout reports, voting problems, and last minute dirty tricks

[QE]

I am currently in line at my polling precinct. I vote at a student-heavy precinct at the University of Michigan. I've been in line for 40 minutes and am only about halfway through it. It's really long. Thanks Obama.

The question is: is he forgetting or intentionally omitting that a very large portion of Michigan's working class are minorities?

How large?

Turnout seems to be up everywhere around Michigan - based on anecdotal evidence and comparison with 2012. You can't really draw any conclusions from that beyond that it's a good thing for democracy.

Any news of the AA turnout in Detroit and North Carolina?

I've felt a lot better about MI over the past 48 hours. There was a substantial uptick in the amount of absentee ballots returned in the City of Detroit. I've only heard anecdotes about ED turnout, but newscasters and reporters are describing it as "strong" and "very robust."

I can give you one bit of hard news: My precinct in Ann Arbor is located on the central campus of the University of Michigan. In 2012, there were 761 ballots cast in this precinct. I checked with my friend who is a poll worker at this station and he said that election-day turnout has already eclipsed 600+ votes as of 2:00PM, so it's very likely we're going to break that at the very least.
