Just voted in a northern suburb of Fort Worth Texas. Polls opened at 7:00 am, got there at 6:30 am and was third in line. Woo hoo. Done voting by 7:10. Took my time with the paper-connect the lines-ballot. Did not vote straight ticket but made sure I checked off each Republican and one Libertarian individually. (Heard once that straight ticket votes resulted in a count malfunction a few years back in early voting and always check each candidate individually since then. Besides it lets me vote more!)

From 6:30 am on the line grew steadily. The poll watchers and elections judges tried to get everybody wrapped around in the gym because it was raining slightly outside. I knew that wasn't going to work as they would be looking over my shoulder by the time I voted if the 'congo' line kept wrapping around. So they had everybody move into adjacent hallways. Everybody in this 80 percent Republican enclave was well mannered during the line move that encompassed 200 people at 6:50 am.

I had a good time talking to two other men and borrowed a gal my pen so she could sign here election card. Told her it was my lucky Bush pen. She said she was voting for him.

Bush looked great last night on C-SPAN at SMU in North Dallas. What a great family. He and his wife are just a real wholesome couple. Makes you feel good to see him.

Keep the prayer going and stay vigilant. Thanks to all the Freepers that are on the ground working this election day to hold the line against the armies of Mordor.

Just voted in Northern Virginia (Langley High School/McLean). This is a pretty liberal area. Turnout is very heavy with lines out the door and into the parking lot. I was looking for all these "younger/first time voters". They weren't there. The average age appeared to be in the mid-40's.

Back from voting in the 1st Cong. district in Illinois.

I "pulled the lever" for Bush, Alan Keyes, and Ray Wardingley (IL-1) (the pubbie going up against the incumbent former black panther Bobby Rush). Voted (R) for everything else, no funny business at about 6:30am. My parents, my in-laws, and my wife all plan to vote later for Bush, Keyes, and Wardingley as well.
