I assume by "some supporters" you mean "Lady Gaga".

The reason is because it's a tribute to Michael Jackson.

At first I was watching a trailer for a new WWII movie and then I realized it was a Clinton supporter. Maybe she thinks Clinton is a Nazi?

It seems like that's the case, yes. Which means either polling stations have been cut down from 2012, voter turnout is very high, or people have forgotten how long the lines usually are.

I'm betting Trump gets 10-18% of the minority vote. What do you all think?
In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now.

If the road is easy, the destination is worthless.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

I highly doubt my soul mate is living in Thailand and only a click away.

Not to vote. It basically does not happen, largely due to there being a lot more voting places (I posted a comparison map somewhere earlier in this thread).

Over 40% (including me), are, so I fixed the post for accuracy.

Define "minority", if you would.

My answer will change depending on what we're discussing.

IIRC there were complaints about there being fewer polling stations during some of the primaries, that might have carried over.

Cubans voted more for Obama back in 2012, I think it was like 50-48

This year should be much higher.
