Report from East Boca Raton

I just voted in East Boca Raton (Southern Palm Beach County). Based off the cars outside, it appeared that Bush had a slight edge. There were a lot of cars with Bush stickers and quite a few with anti-Bush/pro-Kerry graffiti on the windows.

Outside the polling place, there was a lady from "Moveon PAC" with a small table and 2 people at a table for Kerry. (All 3 people were older.) The Kerry table had free muffins and water. Interestingly, almost nobody was talking to them and nobody went for the muffins or water. One of the Kerry supporters walked the line and handed them out but that was the most interaction I saw people having with them.

The line at the polling location was the longest I have ever seen it. Normally there is 3 or 4 people in line at most. There was easily about 100 people this time and it took about 20 minutes to get through it. I talked a little bit with the people in line and although we didn't talk about politics directly, they didn't seem the Kerry type. (One was wearing a hat with an American flag on it.)

On the way home there were 2 Kerry supporters, college students, waving home made Kerry/Edwards signs at one fo the street corners. Not much enthusiasm. When I drove by I made eye contact with one of them and flipper her off, I know I shouldn't have done it but I couldn't resist. She put her sign down and didn't look happy.

I'll bet she's seen a lot of fingers already today.

Kansas City, Mo. Went to the polls at 7:30. Huge line of voters. My part of town is predominantly black and most of the in-line discussion was pro Bush. As I left I noticed that over the sign in front bearing the name of the church someone had stretched a plastic printed sign that had a different name from the original. I went back inside and informed one of the election judges of it and they went out with me and removed the fake sign. I have a feeling that while this stuff is endemic to Missouri's dirty politics tradition we may be seeing this sort of stuff elsewhere across the country. Keep your eyes open and be on the lookout for such tactics! GO BUSH!

WEST BOCA RATON - Much the same thing here with the Bowelmovement.org people. It was me and about 200 Dems. Got there at 6:40 - poll opened at 7 and it took 20 minutes to get through. You have to be brain-dead not to be able to use the new machines. Turn out looked above average for this precinct. Bushies with huge sign at Palmetto Park Rd and Military Trail - it said "Arafat, Bin Laden, and Kim Jong Il all endorse Kerry. VOTE BUSH." I honked in support.
