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.
