Your comment reminds me of something that happened when I voted at the midterms. The line was massive -- more so than I had ever seen. When I finally got up to the check-in table, I made a comment that I had never seen that kind of turnout for a midterm. Without hesitation the election check-in person said "Oh, there are WAY more people voting than in the presidential election." Something told me that wasn't just in my area/state. So I knew something was amiss when the House was taken over by the D's.
