Good morning! I have already voted at my rural precinct in eastern Polk County. This part of Florida is solidly George W. Bush country (he won 60% of the vote in Polk in 2000). My voting went off without any incident or problems at all, and I may have waited all of 5 minutes to get my ballot. Turnout didn't seem to be inordinately higher than it has been in past elections. No officials from either party, no Rat operatives or buses full of Rat voters. But my precinct is pretty small and remote, and is mostly made up of retired folks and Florida crackers, so it's definitely under the radar.

That is not the greatest news for the good guys!

My wife and I voted early in Okaloosa County in the Florida panhandle. Our county gave Dubya 74% of its vote in 2000 (heavy active/retired military presence, plus bible belt). The Supervisor of Elections is projecting an 80% turnout, versus 70% in 2000. Call-ins on local radio program regarding lines at precincts say the lines are long this morning, some longer than anyone can remember. Looks like the conservative base is turning out in droves here.
