Voted you all should too.
Rural area here in Virginia. Mostly Republican. EXTREMELY high turn out. I’ve voted here my entire life and it’s never been close to this.
Voted at about 7:15am. 5th in line of about 25. Rurual area. Sure enough one of their check into computers froze up one voter in. 80 year old women manning the polling place.
Take some pics if you can. They all might disappear from the internet in January. I’m going to two polling places today accompanying females, not voting twice. Hopefully you wont see my mug shot on a later thread here... :)
I voted a couple of weeks ago via absentee.
I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do that.
Watching Fox, they just talked about a couple of women voters that said they were voting for Obama because he would keep them in their houses, provide “free” healthcare and buy them gas...
Stupid, stupid people...
Turn out is very high here in central Indiana...
I just saw at the polling place... a guy voting while wearing an Obama baseball cap ...
Here is my report:
I arrived at my local polling place in Cranford, New Jersey at 5:55 AM, as is my custom. The parking lot was already full, and some cars were leaving as I pulled in.
The doors were already open, which was odd. When I went in, it was two deep at my precinct, which is very unusual for that early in the morning. I had to wait about five minutes to vote.
Voted straight Republican.
McCain/Palin for President
Dick Zimmer for Senate
Leonard Lance for NJ-7 House - Looks good to fill Mike Ferguson’s (R-NJ) vacated seat
Sacrificial ‘Pubbie trio for Union County Freeholder (they will lose)
Drew and Dugan for Cranford Town Council (they will win)
The ballot questions were impenetrable, as usual. I voted to require voter approval for all bond issues, because I don’t trust the NJ Legislature (Duh!), and require state approval of municipal judges, because I trust the local machine politicians even less (Duh!, again).
A quick perusal of the parking lot showed 6 McCain/Palin bumper stickers, including mine, and one Barack Obama sticker, with the other 20 cars or so having no stickers.
I live in a pretty McCain-friendly precinct, so I think the big turnout is good news.
I voted, and was first at my precinct, which is a rural North Central Illinois. There were several others who showed up right after me. I think this location will become more busy late morning, and early evening. All seemed good. Although being the first, they weren’t as awake or organized a could have expected.
BTW, if we have truly reached the point in this country where the majority of voters are going to vote for whomever will give them the most “free” stuff we are over as a country. That is a critical mass in an uncontrolled reaction that will consume us.
Rural NC. High turnout. Usually walk in, get ballot, and go. Not today, I had to wait 20 minutes. From the looks of the crowd I think McCain should carry my precinct.
Oregon - Vote by Mail - Enough said. (goes off into corner to cry)
Plenty of out-of-state plates at the polling place here in my swing-state. Plus, umm, how shall I phrase this? Quite a different demographic than I normally see in the neighborhood. A very Obama-supporting demographic.
I voted this morning. Turnout was more than expected but the bozos had only two booths for an entire district to use. Lesson: Don’t think the long lines mean more voters, it could be they just have less machines.
just saw a polling place on Fox news - it certainly appeared that an OBAMA sign was right outside the door - why do these people keep getting a pass on things that are so wrong? I’ve been trying to email Fox and it says the server is overwhelmed
at 06:00, I was about #50 in line, and over 150 showed up before 06:15 when I went in the door
It was the largest line I ever saw that early, about 50 to 60 more than any other time for that hour
Due to the number of McCain signs in my area vs Obama, I’d say Maverick will do well, but history tells us Ct is liberal, so I am not too optimistic
However, I have not heard as many eager to vote for Obama, only the politically ignorant, those who seem to be following it are all for McCain, or rather against Obama
husband voted. I’m at work for a couple hours; will do some poll running thing later for the campaign, then vote in the afternoon. Husband got to polling place at 645 and there was a really long line 100 people. We’re near Harrisburg, pretty much conservative area and Romney was here last night rallying the troops...said we need to vote heavy here to make up for other areas of the state. (PA)
Here in Boynton Beach, Fl. I was putting out Allen West signs at polling locations, and what did I see?!? McCain/Palin signs everywhere.... some were too close and were pulled out of the ground, so I put them back up 100 feet away..... at one polling station McCain/Palin signs were more than 100 ft. away and were kicked over.... I put those back up!
But I didn’t see any Obama/Biden signs and I was at 11 different polling locations!! And there were Obama people handing out pamphlets so they apparently didn’t buy enough signs for this area!!!
too danged crowded. will go back later.
Waited 45 minutes to vote for McCain-Palin in Manhattan. It was chaos at 6:15am when I arrived, but things got semi-organized after a while. Heavy-turnout of the typical zombified Manhattan liberals, but not many young voters.
I voted two and a half weeks ago.
Didn’t care to go stand in line with the unwashed masses.
