When the polls opened at the Santander Arena here in downtown Reading\u2014the largest polling place in Pennsylvania\u2019s fifth-largest city\u2014at 7 this morning there were about 80 people in line, and a half dozen volunteers to welcome them, hand out palm cards, and make sure everyone legally entitled to vote had the chance to actually do so. And when the polls finally closed in the 19th Ward, where some voters had to wait in line&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MakeTheRoadPA\/status\/1323772274005127169\">more than four hours<\/a>, the volunteers were still there, providing food, water, hand warmers, and even live music to make sure nobody left the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou voting, Papi?\u201d shouted Julio Martinez, a volunteer with the Berks County Democratic Party. Trump won this county by 18,000 votes in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.co.berks.pa.us\/Dept\/Elections\/Documents\/2016%20Elections\/certified%202016General\/GRANDTOTALS.pdf\">2016<\/a>\u2014about the same margin as Barack Obama\u2019s victory here in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.co.berks.pa.us\/Dept\/Elections\/Documents\/Past%20Election%20Results\/2008\/officialgrandtotals.pdf\">2008<\/a>. As anyone who\u2019s ever played Monopoly knows, they used to have a railroad here, a busy line carrying anthracite from the western Pennsylvania coalfields to the port of Philadelphia. In 1871, the Reading Railroad was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20020814060712\/http:\/www.geocities.com\/ironhorseusa2000\/firsts.htm\">the largest company in the world<\/a>. At the turn of the 20th century, the Berkshire Mills was the largest knitting mill in the world. The city of Reading grew in every census until 1930.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the city\u2019s decline was swift and relentless. The former mill buildings became&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/goreadingberks.com\/reading-pa-outlet-capital-of-the-world\/\">factory outlet stores<\/a>, until that business also dried up. By 2011&nbsp;<em>The<\/em>&nbsp;<em>New York Times<\/em>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/09\/27\/us\/reading-pa-tops-list-poverty-list-census-shows.html\">named<\/a>&nbsp;Reading the \u201cpoorest city in the country,\u201d with over 41 percent of the population living in poverty. And for Nancy Jimenez, the statistics only tell part of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I came to this country from the Dominican Republic, we first lived in New York. After our house in Rockland County burnt down, we moved to the Bronx. But after a few months, I realized the Bronx was not for me. I had a cousin here\u2014this was 18 years ago\u2014and he said you could live here. At the time, you never saw a bodega\u2013or if you did, it was because it was the only one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Reading is a majority Latinx city, with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.witf.org\/2019\/11\/04\/history-in-the-making-reading-expected-to-elect-first-latinx-mayor\/\">64 percent of the population<\/a>&nbsp;identifying as Hispanic. The mayor, Eddie Moran, was born in Puerto Rico and grew up in Brooklyn. I ran into him outside the polls at Christ Lutheran Church, where Carmen Rodriguez told me she\u2019d been waiting in line for nearly two hours already, but was prepared to wait as long as it took to cast her vote. \u201cI want Trump to win,\u201d she told me. \u201cI\u2019m a Christian, and so when I vote I look for a candidate with Christian values.\u201d Earlier in the day Jonathan Tinoco, who was driving voters to the polls for the Hispanic Center of Reading, said that while most Latinx voters favored the Democrats, there was a sizable contingent of evangelicals who would almost certainly vote Republican. As if on cue, a family approached the polls wearing matching sweatshirts all proclaiming \u201cCHRIST&nbsp;is my Savior.&nbsp;DONALD TRUMP&nbsp;is my President.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump, who has a knack for turning up in the places the Democratic National Committee has long forgotten, held a rally at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wlvr.org\/2020\/11\/at-trump-rally-in-reading-trump-criticizes-mail-in-voting-downplays-the-coronavirus\/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=at-trump-rally-in-reading-trump-criticizes-mail-in-voting-downplays-the-coronavirus#.X6ImylNKjd8\">Reading airport<\/a>&nbsp;on Saturday. Joe Biden, though\u2014as he never tires of reminding us\u2014a Scranton native,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcphiladelphia.com\/news\/politics\/decision-2020\/2020-presidential-race-tracker-see-how-often-and-where-joe-biden-donald-trump-are-in-pennsylvania-november-3\/2555895\/\">visited the state 17 times<\/a>&nbsp;in this campaign, but has never come here. \u201cTrump\u2019s visit probably got him some votes,\u201d said Tinoco, \u201cbut not as many as his signature on those stimulus checks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the line at the church kept getting longer, I made my way inside and asked Rose Althouse, the judge of elections, what was causing the holdup. \u201cThe Spanish people and all their names,\u201d she replied. Apparently, neither of the election officials assigned to the precinct spoke Spanish\u2014so when voters were asked to identify themselves, and then to spell their names, delays ensued. And then compounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteers from Make the Road tried to intervene, and were eventually allowed to ask voters to print their names on sheets of paper to hand over to officials when they finally reached the front of the line. But with elections the responsibility of Berks County\u2014still majority-white\u2014not even the mayor\u2019s personal intervention was able to speed things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mayor himself remained resolutely cheerful. And during the two and a half hours I spent at this location, I didn\u2019t see a single voter give up and go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How much will any of the votes cast in Reading, or elsewhere in Berks County, matter? We may not know the answer to that for several days. Right now, the networks keep repeating that Pennsylvania is \u201cstill too close to call.\u201d Or in the words of that renowned psephologist&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3vEEh0GF_C8\">Bette Davis<\/a>, \u201cFasten your seat belts.
