I went to vote this morning in the borough of Hulmeville just outside of Philadelphia. Our borough has a population of 893, about 681 of them voting age. I was voter #221 at 10:30 this morning. I have voted later in previous elections and only been voter 46, so this indicates to me that turnout in the Philly suburbs if very high. I believe that it is about a 50-50 split of Democrats to Republicans in this borough. We are only a few minutes outside of the Philly border and so get a decent amount of people fleeing from heavily Democratic Philadelphia. There were no lines to speak of. A senior citizen gentleman was in line ahead of me and one lady was already in the booth. No obvious problems in the place. However, one amusing anecdote. Outside of the polling place were 3 young boys, around 11 or 12 sitting on their bikes. One was holding a Bush/Kerry sign. As I entered, one of the boys asked "John Kerry?" The boy with the sign held up his sign. I pointed at the sign to indicate that I was voting for Bush. The boy asking about Kerry said, in a totally disbelieving tone of voice "Oh no! You've got to be kidding me!", while the other two boys just grinned at him. Apparently, he hadn't gotten anyone who had indicated that they were voting for Kerry. So, from this unofficial poll, one might assume that Philly's suburbs aren't going to go for Kerry in the same way that they went for Al Gore in 2000! (Of course, this also might just be wishful thinking!). Also, to confirm an earlier poster from this morning regarding New York unions busing people to Philly, I can personally testify that, after voting when I stopped at the local convenience store, a car with a New York license plate pulled up and let out two people with Kerry stickers on their chests with clipboards who started walking down the street, apparently in a get out the vote attempt.
