Voted at 9:45 and lines were nothing to speak of. Pollwatchers said it was busy between 6:00 - 6:45 a.m. with people wanting to vote before polls opened. I'm on call to drive pubbies to the polls so I'm hoping to be kept as busy as Ohio seems to be. Just heard that turnout was extremely high.

Any reading on how Chris Shays is doing? I was surprised to hear he's fighting for his political career and would like to believe people are holding a grudge over his vote not to impeach X42.

Voted at 7:00 am. The lines were extremely long. I was ballot number 274. The building was not big enough to accommodate the steady stream of people pouring in. People were becoming impatient about the wait and about the long lines to get inside just to obtain your ballot, which then meant another fifteen minute wait for an open booth.

People from all walks were voting, many on their ways to work. There weren't many old people voting, as it is inconvenient to get to the location out in the middle of the sticks, in the rain, in mudville. I suspect the site was picked to discourage voter turnout.

The plan wasn't working.
