Tell us what you saw today at your voting place.
About 35 people waiting to vote. Largely Demonrat
I voted at 6:05 in Batavia, Illinois (Kane County- pretty heavily Republican county).
As always, I took my Rottie with me. (she stays in the car though)
I was about tenth in line. After a minor hiccup with the computers, all was well.
I left with an "I Voted" sticker, which I gave to my four year old son to wear.
My wife will vote later today with our eleven month old in arm.
Umm...I'm sure you mean uninformed, not uniformed!
I hope all the men and women in uniform get a chance to vote!
Behind me in line was a woman who looked like she'd be at home on DU -I'll let you imagine what she looked like. She was vociferously protesting having to use the machines, and wanted a paper ballot. Alas, no paper ballots available with early voting. I was led away to my voting booth before I got to hear the resolution of her complaints.
I'm pretty fast; didn't vote straight ticket, but only because I like to see the little checks show up next to the pubbie names. I was out in a few moments.
What do I see as I leave the polling place but my friend from behind me in line, huddled with a woman outside the polling station who was holding a sign for a 'rat candidate.
Given that the complaining voter hadn't even started the process when I went to my booth, I suspect the only way she could have gotten out ahead of me in time to get into a conversation is if she walked out without voting, in protest over the lack of a paper ballot.
I smiled...
Saw Hillary and Bill voting on Fox news. She looked like she had just rolled out of bed. Hair was in disarray and her coat was very wrinkled.
Things look good here.
I voted about 45 minutes ago in lower Bucks. It was very busy, more like what I see for presidential elections.
Bill O'Reilly predicted only a 28% turnout of registered voters in New York. No exciting elections. Everyone knows who's gonna win.
Wouldn't it be something if the Dems stayed home and Hillary LOST!!!!
Bawhahahah...Best line I've heard this morn..this has made my day...THANKS FOR POSTING!! :)
#137 here at St. Louis Park Precinct in MN (7:30AM). Straight ticket R, but I think voting for the I in the race against Ellison may have helped (probably not). Long line, but that may have as much to do with fewer voting booths than a Presidential year. Still pretty darn good volume.
Election judges had everything running very smoothly checking ID's and such.
One guy was complaining that it takes too long to fill in ballots with pen and why we don't use markers...not a bad question, but was whiney about it.
My "get out of Iraq" neighbor was walking in as I was walking out.
I hope Devos and Bouchard have a chance but they've got to overcome the good old Detroit fraud machine. (Hopefully the GOP will fight for it this time) In our 7th district we did get rid of RINO Joe Schwarz and replace him with conservative Tim Walberg.
Our moonbat isn't voting because the fact that we're about 85% conservative here means the election was stolen before we even voted. (according to her)
Unfortunately, I can't find my DeVos hat. I was hoping to wear it to classes today, and to the meeting of the college's "Gender Equity Committee," on which I am a student representative.
Voted around 6:45 this morning. There are only 3 machines at this precinct. There were 8 people there at the time, but more people starting to stream in as we were leaving.
I usually vote very early. But... the wife is home from work today and is making me vote with her. Should take all day to get down there.
Our polling place in The Villages, Florida was highly efficient as usual. We are a retirement community of active adults from all over the globe and cover parts of three counties. The Villages is a highly Republican area in all three counties. We had a high percentage of early voting in Florida and this morning's turnout was both steady and high from all appearances. My wife and I showed our picture I.D.'s and were in and out in under 5 minutes. The only people who required any voting assistance appeared to be confused democRATs (Are there any other kind?)
7:05 am Florida Panhandle; people voting, no lines.
Ballots are fill in the broken arrow with pencil and then scanned.
Our local moonbat's father told me that his daughter refuses to vote in the "BushReich farce election". He says she's sitting home getting drunk already. LOL

LOL probably posting on DU as we speak, mixing it with the old Ativan
