Many people wearing Kerry pins were leaving the line before getting to the booth, we can't afford to do this!!! Florida is a must, it is pivotal, so stick around end get your vote in...

[jackdude]

I was wondering if all the normal polling places are open in early voting, or just certain places.

[MisterRepublican]

I hope many wearing Kerry pins leave and decide not to bother voting.

[Politicalmom]

Why is it bad if Kerry voters don't vote?

[mrsjones]

hmmmm, spread the word that INS will be monitoring the polling places.... the lines will surely thin out....

[COBOL2Java]

My wife and I plan to get to our polling place at 6:00am sharp tomorrow.

I pity the person wearing anything Kerry that steps into the polling place where I am watching.

That's called electioneering and it is not allowed.

It's terrible in FL. My son lives in Jupiter and has waited in line a couple of times only to have to leave before he was able to vote. Tomorrow he says he will wait until the bitter end if he has to. Why do they have so many problems? Sounds like they need to open up more polling places!

From your post: "Many people wearing Kerry pins were leaving the line before getting to the booth, we can't afford to do this!!! Florida is a must, it is pivotal, so stick around end get your vote in..."

Is that what you meant to say - ? What am I missing - or is this a put down on them -


just wondering -

Please explain how "early voting" works. I thought that tomorrow was election day. Why do some people get to vote early?

[graycamel]

Imagine if they passed out free flu shots to those who got into line to vote. The line would run the length of the state.

I hope you didn't mean this the way it sounds.

[BurbankKarl]

this is why lazy people stopped voting in the first place...

there will be all kinds of stories of long lines closing on people with the computerized ballots, because they take longer to do than paper ones. I think California will have a big problem too, with all those races and propositions.

Huh?! Am I missing something? We want Kerry voters to get discouraged and not vote.

[Paleo Conservative]

I can't tell from the article what the last day of early voting was? Was if Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

[Optimus Prime]

One person says Floridians are used to it -- saying it's like standing in line at Disney World.

Not only was I there to vote, today, but I was a few places in the line ahead of the woman who made this joke, which caused everyone nearby to chuckle.

There were only two polling places open, today (Who the hell thought that was a good idea?), so it was INSANE, today! I got there shortly before 11am to vote, and didn't walk out until SIX PM! I spent SEVEN HOURS WAITING IN LINE! And SIX of those hours were spent on my feet. You want to see Broken Glass Republicans? I'm ONE of them!

Incidentally, the liberals are damn near berserk. They actually had a guy there going around singing a song with the following stanza:

"US troops smoking their tabacci,
While murdering and raping innocent Iraqis".

Fortunately a Republican in the line (A guy in his late-50's, whereas the "musician" was early-30's), there, got out of line and got in the punks face. Almost thought someone was going to throw a punch. Insane.

All of the people I saw leaving were Kerry people.

Who the hell would stand in line for 3 hours to vote for him?

My wifes girlfriend has 2 Kerry bumper stickers on her car and even she left after waiting for 3 hours, only to find that from that point the wait was another hour and a half.

I'd stand in line for 12 hours if I had to, but the wait tomorrow at any precinct shouldn't be more than an hour at most.
