To accommodate social distancing, they've also stuck voting machines in hallways in the coliseum....They aren't just on the main arena floor. Last week, election officials told there would be about 100 machines in the building. #laelex 
This is kind of nice. Every time there's a new voter, an election official yells "FIRST TIME VOTER!" and everyone cheers. #laelex
And here's the voting scene on the main floor of the coliseum in Lake Charles. I count almost 70 machines. As I said earlier, there are more in the hallways. #laelex
It does seem quite organized here for such a big operation. The most people who have ever voted in one location in Calcesieu before today is 2,500. The coliseum expects to get 19,000 voters today. #laelex

In case you needed a reminder that the clean up from #HurricaneLaura and #HurricaneDelta is NOT over...
on one side of the coliseum there's voter parking....on the other side there are four giant piles of debris like this.... #laelex

Here's a better picture of the debris right outside the Burton Coliseum voting place in Lake Charles. I have to imagine most of it is from #HurricaneLaura, which happened at the end of August. (LC was then hit with another hurricane, Delta, a few weeks later.) #laelex
