• Voters, be patient on Tuesday -- The polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Secretary of State spokeswoman Kelly Chesney said people will find lines shorter if they vote between 9 a.m and noon or 1 to 4 p.m.
  
• Kent County Polling Locations
  
• Obtain a Customized Sample Ballot

Just sneakin’ a vanity of sorts (useful I hope) into the News.

If you are voting in the center of town, bring air freshener for the hippies and homeless.

Oh, and I really like to thank the union thugs for all of the junk mail today reminding me of all of the DNC lawyers I can call if I cant vote.

Like that will come in handy...

Just glad I live in a tiny town. I’ll be in and out in under 10 minutes.

I’m going to try to get in right at 7:00, have to be to work at 8:00. Luckily I live a rural area. Lapeer county has more white tails than people.

I voted absentee just outside Ann Arbor. I voted for McCain, Hoogendyk, Walberg, and other republicans until I got to the township race where I split my ticket for a couple of taxpayer endorsed local democrats and republicans alike. I’ll be poll watching tomorrow.

Don’t forget to vote for Cliff Taylor.

Hi Grellis!!

Please add me to your ping list. I live just north and west of Grand Rapids, outside of Sparta.

Thank you!!

I have a 7 pm report out of a very blue suburb, south of Detroit.

I voted first thing in the morning, tieing up one hour. This evening driving by at 7 pm, there was only 3-4 people in line and open voting booths.

Anyone else see a lower turnout than expected.

I got online here specifically to check for election updates. :’)

Good reminder about Cliff Taylor. What a terrible bunch of garbage has been peddled about him by the Demwits.

I got to the polling place before 7 AM, voted by 7:30 or so, was #49, but #149 must have been in line by the time I left. I even got to work in plenty of time (for a change). Voted straight Pubbie, voted for Cliff Taylor, skipped any of the non-partisan ballots where the number running matched the “not more than” number, and voted No on both proposals.

We are very lucky. I voted early this morning, and was in and out in 25 minutes. #148 at 8:30 AM. But Sparta is a smaller community.

My husband and sons went after work and got to the polls between 6 and 7. They were also pretty much in and out in a little over 30 minutes.

Waiting anxiously now, with my laptop and my adult beverage of choice.

I tried to get in at 7:00 this morning before work, not a good idea. The place was packed. I didn’t know so many people lived in the township. Left early from work, I didn’t have to wait long.
