How is the voting going where you live? Reports from here indicate a huge turnout so far. We must keep up the good news throughout the day and keep momentum going forward. We must see this day through--tell everyone you meet to go and vote.
Help them see what you value.
Out the door in Fairfield, CT. at 5:55am this morning. I have NEVER seen it like that before.

Even here in a very red area of a red state, things are getting ugly.

Huge turnout here in a very red area. I’m off to go work at a polling site!
I voted early due to my work schedule but am hearing that the lines at polling places at least in the more urban Virginia areas are longer than anyone has ever seen - and it is pouring rain.
McCain-Palin supporters along A1A with signs and flags inviting a thumbs up or honking from passers by on the way to the polls.

Southwest Ohio. “Extremely heavy” turnout per the poll worker. 25 people in line at 6:00 (1/2 hour before polls opened) and 75 at open. I was number 220 out of 800 total people for that polling place at 9:30. Had one Obama poll worker with Obama buttons on. 3 Pubbie workers. Pubbies looked happy. Obama worker looked sad. Hopefully, that means that she was giving out far fewer sample ballots. In our district it would be a bad sign if she were not.
Petaluma, CA - No lines, no waiting, empty voting booths in my (liberal) precinct...but it’s early here.
Some idiot didn't post their location, did they?
Don’t know for sure - wife left the house to go vote about 1 hr 20 min. ago. Polling place is about 2 miles from here. She said that there are a LOT of folks there, some confusion, not enough of the “special” ballot marking pencils, long lines, folks filling out ballots with their own ball-point pen, etc.
I hope to get to join the fray before lunch...

Voted in Trabuco Canyon, California (heart of conservative Orange County)at 7AM this morning. The place was packed - parking lot full - and a light rain falling.
Hard-core conservatives will weather any storm...will the OBamacrats be willing to do the same??
Lines started at 6:00am and were very strong. People I have talked to say they have seen full parking lots at local precincts. Many are seeing young people voting as well.
Wish someone would make one election day thread we could all just keep watching.
I walked out of the polling place at 7:33 this morning, and it wasn’t too bad (there were about 15 people there when I got there at 7:20). Certainly the most busy I’ve seen it, but then, my neighborhood has a lot of retired people who will probably wait a bit longer to vote; so it will likely be a lot busier later...
When you comment, please indicate what state you are in and whether that state allowed early voting or not.
Although I voted early here in Florida, I drove by my normal precinct to see how turnout was. Polls opened at 7 a.m. The line had about 150 people at 6:45, which is good news because our neighborhood is 3 to 1 McCain over That One.
