My precinct is BLUE, far west San Antonio. Voted at 7:10am ... for McCain/Palin, of course! & all possible R’s. Puny turnout (~20?) in early hours, but didn’t check later in the day. Same place/time had at least 150 waiting to vote for Gorey in 2k!
Potential Negative: Computers are visible to election staffers and anyone walking behind as you vote on 12 “pages” of software (no curtain for privacy). Staffer walks me to a computer, plugs in “device” which brings up voting interface, takes device out and leaves. I mark my ballot, push the big red “VOTE” button & turn around to see her with her head down talking with another election staffer - both watching me. Cause for concern ... or jes’ paranoia? hehe
Certain Positive: One voter is at her computer placing her votes, needs help; her daughter/driver attempts to help her. Staffer immediately stops the daughter, says that is not acceptable; staffer helps woman with her question.
Just saw the Freep headline regarding coersion of the elderly by their kids/drivers!
Baton Rouge, LA checking in. Nice turnout - mostly white voters. Traffic was unbelievable. Red State (and plan to keep it that way!!:))
My take...If I had just lied, I could have averted the whole process. It appears honesty is never the best policy when dealing with partially trained voting workers.
South Mississippi. 99% white voters, no crazy business or “security guards”. We did have 3 sherriff’s deputies there though.
Our county usually goes hard republican. I voted for Barr since I know McCain will carry my area anyways and now I dont have to take a long hot shower because I voted for someone who is going to create carbon offset taxes and make all the illegals citizens.
We’re RED RED RED here in Texas.
But we STILL get the Marxist Obozo Prez-elect. :(
McCain: 55.5%
Obozo: 43.8%
The Dallas Mourning Spews has a nice map for folks
to check out on their front page this mo(u)ring:
Thank you Meek. That is just like the Google map that I used all last evening. Very neat, point at a state and get the information.
Thankfully - we live in Texas.
I was told McCain got like 25 votes in my precinct in Chicago. That make’s it COMMIE RED and that makes me BLUE.
