Voted this a.m. in Hayes, VA at the Abington firehouse. The line was backed up about 120 deep at the start, but everything went smoothly. Virginia’s election laws are doing their part, at least here, to ensure this election is as clean as possible. You are twice required to provide a form of ID, then must stated your full name and current address clearly and it MUST match against the list. That’s about as thorough as it can be done these days, so fraud will not have the same opportunity to take root here as it might in other states.
Richmond’s WRVA AM-1040 morning host Jimmy Barrett (a conservative) was conducting his own on-air exit poll at a Richmond-area polling station. After about 130 interviews (some on- and some off-air), it was running about 50-50 between McCain and Obama.
Considering that the polling showed that Richmond should be 80% Obama, that is very encouraging.
