I voted this morning at 6:30 in Norfolk. Pretty decent line, comparatively speaking. Later my wife is going to be a poll watcher at our polling place.

[ReaganCowboy]

Got in line at 5:50 AM in Newington Forest (Springfield, VA) Elementary School; estimate 500+ people in front of me. Most took voter guides from the republican worker.

It took 45 minutes to process through; voted on touch screens. Each check-in line had poll watchers from each major party. Wore my Class A (dress) Army green uniform -- not to intimidate, but just showing (off) that I'm doing my part to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foriegn and domestic!

Estimate when I left at 6:35 AM that 700+ were in line to vote.

I stood with a Bush/Cheney Sign in One hand and "A Vote for Kerry is a Vote for Osama" Sign in the other hand. My favorite moment of the morning was hearing a child in the back seat of a car asking his mom, "Are you voting for Osama?"....my first thought was "from the mouth of babes". His mom did not look happy. All morning long I was greeted with "thumbs up and smiles" or with "Middle Fingers Up and Lip Sync'd Obscenities". Apparently, none of the Kerry supporters saw the UBL translations of threats for States that go Bush (when confronted)...confirms the suspicion that the mass media has kept them shielded.

I voted in Madison County, rural area, no lines, no hassles, beautiful fall day in the country.

Voted in Arlington this morning (bout 10 min before 0800). Took 1 hour 15 minutes. It seemed that all the folks "helping" were handing out dummocrap sample ballots (an appropriate 40 feet from the polling place). Saw a bunch of kommie buttons also. Not a suprise, the peoples republik of Arlinkton is pretty heavy dum territory.

The missus voted around 10:30 and spent 45 minutes in the process.

"VOTE HARD!"

Today, My daughter and I worked the polls, for her gov't class.
Reston is considered very liberal area of No. Virginia. Taking that into consideration we gave out more Bush voter sample ballots than we did in 2000.

I had more people come up to us than I could ever expect.
That being said, this area of Reston will still go heavly dem's . Sorry to say........

no trouble as far as we could tell......

[Militiaman7]

Heavy turnout in Roanoke area.

[VaBthang4]

Long Island in the house!!

Just pulled the lever for GW and Virgil Goode. Voted yes on both questions.

[Redleg Duke]

Northern Leesburg poll was very busy. I arrived at 6:15 AM, waited nearly 20 minutes and was number 166. Lines were just as long when I left as when I arrived!

This is my 3rd election in Virginia. I vote in the Haymarket precinct in Prince William County - and always vote early. In years past, I've always found an easy parking spot and walked right in. There would usually be two or three people in line for the A-G slot. This morning when I arrived, I was wondering what the hell had happened. The parking lot was full and cars were parked up and down the street for 100 yards in each direction. I found a place to park and walked up. The line went down the hall from a full cafeteria, out the door, down the sidewalk and nearly to the street. There were half a dozen Bush electioneers in the parking lot (in the safe electioneering zone) handing out Bush stickers and Republican sample ballots. There were no Kerry supporters to be seen. We're in a pretty conservative area - and I expected pretty good turnout - but I never expected anything like this.

Last Election, the precinct went BUSH 63.7% to GORE 33.7%. Zogby's lost his mind if he thinks Va is a tie.

[Dr.Deth]

Monster line. Blew my lunch hours for the rest of the week voting.

I used the blue Democrat sample voting ballot as my guide. Everything they wanted, I voted the opposite. The Republican guides were yellow. Seemed like more blue than yellow in the lines, in Northern VA. On the other hand... were some of them using my plan for the blue sample?

[Gabz]

There was NO ONE and I mean it......zip, zilch, nada, nyet......handing out sample ballots at my polling place when I went shortly after 12noon.

At a polling location with only +/- 500 voters I was #373 shortly after noon.

Took me a while to vote because they couldn't find my name on the list. A phone call to the County election office and another search through the list found me, there was a typo in my name. 2 of the poll workers were upset about the situation because they said they knew I had voted there before. And had hubby down as already having been there.

It was a little bit of a hassle, and held up the folks that came in behind me, but I am very happy they were so interested in making sure I was eligible to vote.

[Zavien Doombringer]

My precinct is in Churchland (middle School is where I vote), the line was close to 2 hours long!

I worked as a Poll Watcher all afternoon until closing but didn't stay to close out the numbers. President Bush won my precinct four years. Sure hope he wins again!

[Ex-Dem]

Lol, it's almost hilarious how much of a moron Brokaw is being right now. He just put up a graphic with Bush up by 16% with 20% reporting in, and nonchalantly said that they couldn't call the state yet. Right before that, he and Russert were going on and on about how much of a shock it must be for the Pubbies that VA still can't be called.
