The U.S. media always have an agenda on election day and are generally unreliable for factual information.  That’s where you come in.  Your ground reports are much more reliable barometers of what’s happening in/around your neighborhood on election day.
So, what’s going on?

How is turnout in your precinct?  How does today compare to prior elections at your polling places?  What issues are important to your community? What is the general sentiment? Are there any voting issues or concerns?
Please share your experience in the comments section below.

For the midterm election day we have a pretty good idea what the overall media approach will be [See Here]. Knowing the gaslighting will likely be even worse than 2016, it becomes more important to tune out the media’s narrative and stick to substance. That’s where the value of YOUR ground reports come in.
Based on scale, CTH has readers in every state, every city, and likely almost every precinct in the country.
So, YOU are now the media.
We will present ground report threads for you to share your insight and voting experience in your community on this midterm election. Past experience tells us the best approach is to use a noon thread (12pm – 3pm ET / 9am – 12pm PT); and a mid-day thread (3pm – 6pm ET / 12pm – 3pm PT), for you to share individual ground reports.  From these reports we can get a good picture of what’s going on coast-to-coast.
Then starting at 7:00pm ET we will begin reviewing election results in two hour increments. NOTE: I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to ignore “exit polling” pushed by media. Exit polling is a complete con, used to fabricate and shape talking points for media pundits. Ignore exit polling, especially in the mid-west and west coast. As we saw in 2016, exit polling is disconnected from actual voting results.

Radio personality Rush Limbaugh appeared on stage just ahead of President Trump at the final MAGA campaign rally of midterm season 2018. Mr. Limbaugh is from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where the rally was held.

As much as this is hilarious to hear, there is also a serious aspect. Republican candidate John James is in a close race in Michigan with incumbent Senator Debbie Stabenow.
A reporter named Brenda Battel from the Huron Daily Tribune calls Michigan Senate Candidate John James to schedule an interview. She leaves a voicemail with the details of her request, then…. accidentally didn’t hang up the phone correctly; so the recording continues to pick up her comments.
What you hear next, after Ms. Battel thinks she has hung up, is the personification of media bias. Listen:

UPDATE:

For the final MAGA rally of the midterm election President Trump heads to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, for a rally at the Show Me Center.  In addition to President Trump, special guests Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Lee Greenwood will be in attendance.
The anticipated start time is 9:00pm CT / 10:00pm ET, with likely pre-rally speeches and events highlighting the importance of tomorrow’s midterm election.

Based on an overlay of how the media narrated the November 2016 presidential election; and accepting an exponential doubling-down for their midterm election effort; we can forecast how the media will push a midterm narrative to bolster their overall efforts.

Starting around mid-day tomorrow the corporate media (majority left-wing) will draw attention to pre-selected races they are confident will turn from Republican to Democrat control.  The goal of this media effort will be to aid a surging ‘Democrat wave’; and, as a consequence, attempt to influence the mid-west and western state turnout.
Example: As soon as polls close on the east coast; those selected race outcomes will be used to push and deepen the disenfranchisement narrative.  Republican redistricted seats like Dave Brat (Virginia CD-07), with Democrat governors (Ralph Northam), are targets for use in advancing the narrative.   Should Brat lose to his Democrat challenger Abigail Spanberger, the media will use the example to push the ‘Democrat Wave’ headline, forecasting doom for the GOP House majority.  This is how the media operates.
Close races all along the east coast states will be used as examples to push a media story-line intended to suppress mid-west/western state republican voters from going to the polls; even though there are several hours of voting still available.

For the second MAGA rally of the day President Donald Trump heads to the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  The President is supporting Republican candidate Mike Braun in his bid to unseat democrat incumbent Senator Joe Donnelly.
The President is scheduled to speak at 6:30pm ET with pre-rally speakers and events ongoing.  With multiple rallies in a day some of the livestreaming tends to get glitchy.

There is a great deal of nervousness and trepidation on the eve of our midterm election; indeed, I too resemble that remark.  However, it is worthwhile to remind ourselves of the strategy behind the pre-programmed, institutional, opposition.
On the day after the 2016 election, beyond the sense of victory, there was an important aspect that needed to be highlighted. [Written Here]
The media, writ large, are not engaged within the body politic as some detached neutral observer; exactly the opposite is true.
Institutionally the media are as cunning and Machiavellian as any modern assembly.
Modern media polling; or early voter analysis, and the outlined opinions of selected stats in a myriad of unidirectional narratives; are exactly akin to lobbyist groups. Loosely defined “lobbying” is: “the act of attempting to influence the actions, policies, or decisions of others.”  Doesn’t that definition also eerily describe modern media?
Lobbyists are professionals at presenting information shaped for their special interests, and intended to influence your opinion of their issue.  Indeed, with volumes of citations and specific examples to evidence the analogy, there is no difference between what the corporate media sells as their ‘electoral truth’ and any lobbying group trying to sway your opinion or decision.

Prior to heading to Ohio, Indiana and Missouri for final midterm campaign rallies, President Trump pauses to deliver remarks to the media and answer a few questions:
