Major snowstorm in my area of Utah.
Attention Colorado West Slope - you may want to vote early if this storm moves your way.
Just voted.
No lines.
1 for the white haired guy and Sarah Palin.
San Leandro, California; checking in, voted at 7:20am, no lines, no waiting. McCain/Palin 08!!
Not too bad a line in my ward in Boston, it took me about 20 minutes. I did an exit poll which was all about intimidation. I wasn’t intimidated mind you, the questions just dealt with how long it took you to vote, were the workers friendly and helpful, did you feel intimidated etc. Never asked whom I voted for.
I know it’s a lost cause in Massachusetts for Big Mac but the ballot question #1 is huge here - a vote to eliminate state income tax. I voted YES!!!! We’ll see what happens
Voted at 10:45am in Red precinct in Nassau County, Long Island, NY and was #295 voting. This size turnout at this time of day is huge and there were two other precincts in the room at Village Hall, all with a steady stream of voters. Had to wait about 15 minutes. Something is going on out there, people were serious, even determined. New York is obviously a Blue state, but I don’t think people care - they’re out in large numbers, it seems, because they want to have their say - regardless. This phenomenon (apparently nationwide) is what we need to see to stick it to the MSM.
I voted early in southern Illinois, was pretty typical group, a steady line. This is a conservative part of state, though many democrat local officials (go figure).
Then I went to teach my college class (freshman reading). Only two had registered and they said they were voting McCain.
Just PRAY
Voted at 8am in PA(northern Allegheny County) Leafy upper-middle class Republican suburb of Pittsburgh.
About 100 folks there - had to wait in line 20 minutes, usually there is no line. All voters over 40, mostly men.
No parking spots available at 11:00 AM at my polling place in Bucks Co., PA. Unprecedented. I went to vote at 11:00 as I have today off (peak of the rut for deer hunting season here) but came out of the woods long enough to vote. Told my wife to come home early from work tonight to vote, as the lines tonight will be ridiculous. Now I’m heading back out into the trees with my trusty crossbow.....
No lines here in Lynchburg, VA. I took my niece to vote this morning for her first time. My wife doesn’t know if she can get to he polls though because her liberal co-workers called in sick today. She’s stuck at the hospital working.
Smooth sailing at this 20. Only had to wait five minutes.
I'm finishing my Novena today, for McCain & Palin.
Light turn out at our district in Burlington county NJ.
Polls opened at 0600, we were there at 0800 and were the 56th & 57th ballots cast. No line, no waiting.
Our district is about 50/50 R/D.
I voted by absentee so I didn’t go to the polls but my neighbor just called me after she went and she said the lines were so long she couldn’t see the end of it. I asked her what the percentage of Caucasian and minority, she said overwhelming Caucasian.
She is somewhat unstable on her feet so her son talked to a poll worker and they brought out a machine for her to vote on and when she pushed the button to review her vote, the machine went berserk so her vote was never entered.
She told the poll worker she didn’t get a chance to vote and demanded she be taken inside to vote. They took her inside and she was allowed to finally vote.
The problem is, how many OTHER votes were on that machine. They called Columbia SC and they are sending down someone to investigate.
There was a reporter from Channel 2 Charleston here in Ladson SC and observed the whole thing. After she got back home she called the TV station and was told they were looking into it.
There was near pandemonium at that polling place because of the confusion and extremely high turnout.
I voted at the King (MLK) Co Elections office in Renton
on Saturday. They hold early voting for all comers from 9am to 3pm. Lines were around the building, mostly scruffy youts
and denizens of da hood. Most precincts near Seattle are
either leftish or communist; all are in the tank for the
obamination. Out in the sticks where I live, tables are turned.
Even if WA goes for “Hope” and “Change” as expected, theres still hope that we can get rid of Governess Fraudoire!
Wisconsin-—formerly rural area south of Madison turning suburban from outflow of Madison.
I usually vote around 10-11:00 am to avoid crowds. I was number 1617. In 2004 I was right at 1100. There is never a line at that time, this time there was—about 50 people. We don’t have anything big on the ballot outside of the presidential race.
The southern wards that vote at my polling place are slightly Republican overall , but it is very difficult to say how much of the increase is from increased turnout and how much from population growth.
Showing how no device is idiot proof, there was a roll of “I voted” stickers left on top of the ballot scanner for people to peel off stickers when they voted. Nobody tore off the backing paper so it dangled. It was fed into the scanner with a ballot and we had a voting machine breakdown! Many jokes by voters, problem soon remedied.
Turn out is unprecedented here in our normally red precint.
I stood in line with my two toddlers for 3 1/2 hours, many other moms were there. Not many “youth” at all. Most looked 25 or older. Black turn-out is defintitely something that worried. When I first arrived, most voters were black, but as the morning went on, whites started out numbering them. I think as the day goes on and people get off work, it will get even better.
Hmmm, what elese, there were many people wearing RED jackets and men in camoflauge!
Oh and I witnessed an Obama van dropping off black voters.
That is all I got :)
