Astoria, New York HUGE Voter Turnout, Very Long Lines!

Heard from family members in Astoria, NY. They're seeing a HUGE turnout at the polls. Wait times of 45 minutes to 1.5 hrs or more in line.

These are the biggest lines they've EVER seen when voting (over 30 year span)! This is the kind of passion and enthusiasm we've seen from Romney voters, not the Obama "fear and revenge" crew.

It looks like New York may be in play after all. Keep praying America, keep praying!

NY in play?? Me thinks not....But then again, it is the money capital of the world.

Nope. NY is NOT in play - only the most seriously deluded thinks Romney can carry it.

Its a lock for Obama, thanks to New York City!

I believe people are going to be pleasantly surprised tonight! Romney is going to win states that are not traditionally won by the GOP!

Well, I doubt it’s in play, but I think it bodes well for us nationwide. And hey, I’m in Cali, so I feel your pain and share your dream :)

No line in my voting place in a suburb of MN today. My suburb is rather purple—probably more blue than red.

There were probably about 5 old people voting and about 4 moms , and two guys dressed like deer hunters, when I was there.

WI and PA yes but not NY.

Isn’t going to happen this year.

Hard to believe NY would be in play, but one thing is clear: Obama enthusiasm is just not there.

Hard to tell if these people will actually be switching to Romney... We will see tonight. But Obama margin will definitely be way down from 2008.

In 2008, it was a pro-Obama frenzy. In 2012? None of that. Not a single pro-Obama sign, button or bumper sticker.

Daughter reported a 1.5 hour wait in Fairfax, VA early this morning.

Greeks and Italians HATE HATE HATE Obama.

I live in NYC area and know a lot of greeks, hard working people - hate obama.

Unlikely NY in play...too many Obama-bots in & around NYC. However, a good indicator this may be an @$$-whipping for Bathhouse Barry, The Gaffe-O-Matic (Biden), and Dingy Harry’s Senate ‘RATS.

Just wish we had a Ronald Reagan conservative instead of a Bob Dole country clubber on the ballot. Rep. Ryan as running mate makes it a bit more palatable, like Gov. Palin in 2008.

I’m down here in SE PA but I have family up in Astoria (though admittedly many more still in Greece).

Chik-Fil-A the Vote!

is FairFax red or blue?

[Freestate316]

I seriously doubt that New York is in play nationally because of NYC, but high turnout in other parts of the state can definitely help us add House seats!

That bird GIF gave me a literal LOL! Thanks!
