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.

Wow... they may have been led to believe Obama has it in the bag, huh - so they can party today!

It was very slow in the 10th Ward, 2nd precinct of Chicago. I got in about an hour after the polls opened, and mine was the 31st ballot. I was in and out in no time. There were even fewer cars in the lot when I passed it again around 8. It could be an effect of early voting, or it could be people staying home. My area is heavily Democratic, but I’ve seen quite a few McCain and other GOP yard signs this year, and none for Obama until this morning around the polling place.

DOW IS UP!!! Smart money knows BigMac and SarahCuda are going to win in a landslide.

Good bye MSM.

Goodbye Pollsters.

You guys in NJ can keep Obama from having a blowout win there. It matters if his margin is five points as opposed to ten.

Whatever we can do to help.

Sarah just cast her vote here in Wasilla, cameraman seemed to have a fetish looking at everybody legs.

[TheBattman]

Had one Obama poll worker with Obama buttons on.

Was this IN the polling place? I didn't think wearing campaign materials inside the polling place was legal...

Here in Indian River Co. in Florida, no lines, no waiting just a flow of folks coming and going.

No telling what it’l be like later.

[chiller]

Very heavy, very early in Az....Scottsdale area....reportedly many young voters...not sure if that’s good or bad out here.

[RoseofTexas]

OK LISTENING UP!!!! If you are goint to post vanities or posts PLEASE MENTION where the heck the voting is taking place!! Either in a RED or BLUE precincts!!! Remember the majority of freepers LIVE outside those states and have NO clue where those precincts are!

Voting in Bronx NY at 6:20am this morning was busy. Line about a half block long. A lady in front of me called out a guy wearing an Obama cap. The polling worker apologized for not seeing it. I think she did miss it actually.

That was just pretext for looking at hers.

Is there heavy Dem turnout on your side of Chicago? What about that huge 64% increase in Dem voting the media has made so much about. I mean that 10+ plus gap in party ID. Do you see any evidence of it?

I JUST got to vote after waiting an hour and a half in line in Albany, NY. I was waiting to vote for Big Sarah Cuda and John and about half the people in front of me were blacks, so I assume they are voting for Obama. Half the people in line were white folks but mostly older.

I think if McCain runs well in the rural parts of Upstate Ny then he has a shot at taking New York. He could end up with 350 EV's when the night is done.

My wife and I went & voted at 9 am (AZ) — no wait — got right in, but that is no indication of anything, since they recently broke up a large precinct into smaller precincts, and our new precinct is very small, and this is the first general election at this new small precinct.

Fingers crossed and praying NoBama NoWay ... May God save our country from Communism.

JUST VOTED.

SOMETHING IS HAPPENING, FOLKS. But honestly, I’m not sure what... (Or I’m afraid to to think we can win)

My Suburban/Rural Indiana precinct (Around 1,600 voters) had 390 votes cast at 10:30AM eastern! In 2006, we had 113 cast at 1.30pm!, and 830 total for 2004.

A larger neighboring suburban precinct votes in the same school, and had about 50 in line at that same time!
Turnout is HUGE, and I mean unprecedented.

Local reports in Grand Rapids say there are 3 hour waits at city polling stations. The surburban areas are seeing wait times at about 15 min-30 minutes right now.

I work in Christian radio along the Gulf Coast area of Florida. We took tons of calls this morning from people either headed to the polls or just leaving them. Not quite as busy as we expected...the longest wait was 45 minutes. That may change later in the day, though.

Our listeners (obviously) have a more conservative outlook, with life and gay-marriage tops on the list of concerns.

By the way, my wife and I voted this past Saturday. Took 90 minutes to get in. Overwhelmingly Obama voters at that time, although I don't like to “judge a book by its cover”.

...big turn out here out west Jersey too frog at 5:45 parking lot of school was a third full and probably 80 people waiting for doors to open (normally 20 or so with past elections).

[GotMojo]

4 to 5 times normal turnout (at 7am) at GOP district in central NJ.......

[henkster]

Hamilton County, northeast of Indy. Very Republican. Heavy turnout. Parking lots overflowing at 9:30 a.m. Had very heavy early voting, too. Estimated at 15% of registered voters.
