I just voted in eastern Lancaster County, PA. The Amish are arriving in droves. Turnout is very heavy at 0730 hrs. A large Bush/Cheney table greets everyone before they walk into the polling place - a Methodist church. A solitary and very forlorn Kerry supporter lurks nearby but does not interact at all with the arrivals. He does not look happy!!
Voters exit with a determined look and almost everyone stops by the Bush/Cheney table to make a positive comment.
Traffic continues to pour in as I leave. There is a line which moves quickly. People are spending an average of 5-10 seconds in each booth. Definitely a sign of straight party voting!!
Bush will carry this area in a huge landslide!
Thats a good sign. Previously they didn't vote much but when they do vote, they vote conservative. If Bush wins PA I gotta remember to buy some of those great Amish pies.
Oh, I hope someone gets some pictures. That would be a sight to behold.
With the experience of having to color in thirty-eight, that's 38, bubbles on a mangled cardboard stand-up "polling place," I half wish California had "straight ticket voting."
I heard some talk show weenie this morning say that people dont come out to wait in line for four hours to give a positive message to an incumbent.
Having read your post I have to disagree.
