I voted at a small, rural precinct today in MIssouri at 6:45am and was the 108th paper ballot voter (they had machines, too). There were about 15 people in line when I finished.
I voted in small town in Missouri at 1:00 pm today. Poll workers said heavy turnout all day. Had about 20 people ahead of me. About 626 had voted prior to receiving my ballot.
We are a socially conservative,fiscal conservative, but way more Democrats than Republicans(Miners and Autoworkers). Last Time Obama only won our county by 4 votes.
My take is that people of faith,bitter clingers to guns, and people who work are out in force for Romney.
People getting Government goodies are out voting to protect their “benefits”.
I expect that Romney/Ryan will win - but who knows.
