Voters Crowd Polling Stations As US Delivers Verdict On Trump by Thefresh: 10:56pm On Nov 06, 2018
.Andrew Menck didn’t bother to vote in the last seven midterm elections but, determined to deliver a rebuke to Donald Trump’s presidency, he joined the lines outside his local polling station that built up before dawn.

“I disapprove of the president’s actions,” said the 34-year-old, a Chicago voter who sees his ballot as a chance for real scrutiny of a president who has enjoyed a largely free hand from the Republican-controlled US Congress.

“I don’t know if he’s necessarily held accountable. Republicans hold the House and Senate.”

“I’m not okay with traveling abroad and being ashamed for the first time to say that I’m American.”

James Gerlock, a 27-year-old Republican, said, however, that he was happy with the economic growth the country has seen under Trump’s presidency and “just (loves) the deregulation.”

In the Chicago suburb of Downers Grove, at a church along a leafy street, 500 people had voted in the first two hours of the morning — twice as many as two years ago, according to poll worker David Mendalski

The elections is not about Trump. He has done most of the important things he needed to do, whatever happens today can't halt his arrangements.
