The amount of people turning out is certainly bigly. The election has polarized people and a lot of this has to do with the messaging surrounding the 2016 election. People are essentially being "shamed" for not having voted because of what the polls said regarding Hilary's lead against Trump.
This time people aren't leaving things to chance and they're getting out there.
There are reports of robocalls in Michigan encouraging people to stay home and vote tomorrow due to long lines at the polls. The FBI is investigating this because this lazy ass voter suppression is very illegal. I also watched a video of someone being turned away in spite of turning up on time for early voting in NYC, which is also a problem. In this situation this person should have been given a receipt and an absentee ballot.
Even when polls close locally, if you are in line you are allowed to vote. Even if you cast your ballot after midnight, you can vote. Just as long as you are in line on time.
