I came back from voting less than a half hour ago. I live in Fairfax County in Northern Virginia, in Congressman Moran's district. I waited about half an hour to vote. The line was pretty long. I was surprised, since I got there shortly after the polls opened at 6 am. One person in the line said he had never seen the line this long at 6 am.

I had a very similar experience in Peoria. I usually get to the poll by 6:15--it was more like 6:25 this time and I had to wait 15 minutes to vote. I have never seen the polls so crowded. Some people were from the wrong precincts, so I suspect they were either new voters or hadn't voted in a long time. This should be very interesting in terms of registered vote turn out. If we get 70% or more and 55% for GWB (my prediction) that's a pretty rousing endorsement.

Report from Tunnel Hill, GA - Northwest part of state. 20 minutes in line with light drizzle, only took a couple of minutes to check in and vote. I was 69th voter on my machine and poll official said they were reaching 800 as I was leaving. I believe this to be a very strong turnout in a high Republican area.

That's two for W so far from this household. Young Techster voted absentee a couple of weeks ago as he is in college, guess where? Mrs. Techster will make it three this afternoon after work.
