Just got back from voting. Our small painfully liberal Massachusetts town votes in the high school gym.

There was a “Get rid of the R word” in 18” letters on a bed sheet on a wall facing incoming voters 50 feet from the polls.

Pissed me off. I went and voted and coming out I see the sign had been torn half down so it couldn’t be read.

Faith in humanity restored.

There certainly seems to be a lot of law breaking going on. Banana republic indeed!

I’ve just returned from voting in the hood. Just as bad as ‘08 when I gave up and went to the Court House, but this time I was determined to not get intimidated. Not one white to be seen and I heard one worker say to another “she’s the nineteenth”, so I reckon they’re keeping count. Open drinking in the parking lot, lots of talk while I made my way inside. No white workers inside either. I’m going to file a complaint about that. “Sample ballots” were handed to everyone, including me, on the way inside, all marked for democrats. I’m taking mine to the newspaper. Not a cop in sight. The place was packed. I was voter # 563 in alphabet book A - I. J-R had over 600 and don’t know about S-Z.

I vote in such a calm, well mannered area..One poll volunteer during early voting (as old as I am/ really old) was so cute, dressed up in a patriotic long dress,and passing out the I Have Voted stickers.

I took this picture about 10:30 today about 1/3 of the way in line. It more than doubled by the time I voted one hour later.

A small sample of the pro-zero propaganda that they teach our children.

Three GOP signs disappeared in that time. I went and replaced the signs and more had disappeared by then.
The pro-gay marriage jerks were there in force but, I never saw crowds this large here. More then 2008 and also 2011. I estimate an average of 300-400 most of the day.

We vote in a gym too, in a very small town. It all went well, thank goodness.

God help us if this election goes the wrong way.
