Any other WA counties want to report in?

Samammish Plateau (King Co) -- barely got the polls inspector there in time to start setting up after she had a bit of trouble with her car. Said there were 50 people in the lobby when they opened up at 7, and in a few minutes there were 25 more. Been much busier than usual ever since.

(I remember stopping by after work one election; they hadn't broken 100 voters yet. Different location & precincts, though.)

We're in Kirkland. A bit larger crowd than usual. My wife was at the PTA bake sale stand at the school voting area. She said a guy came in with a Bush Hat, Bush Pin, and a Terrorists for Kerry T-shirt on. He mentioned to my wife he felt like a minority. My wife said well, when my husband comes there will be at least three of us here!

I asked my wife if anyone made him cover the Bush stuff up - she said no. I told her I thought it was against the rules to "advertise" so close (within!) the polling area.

She talked with another gal who was waiting for her husband. The gal said this was her husband's first time voting. He has lived in the states for 23 years, but after 9/11 became a citizen. My wife said it brought tears to her eyes (as it did mine). My wife clapped for him as he walked out with his wife.

No matter how this election comes out, I said a prayer of thanksgiving as I watched the various types of folks of all classes and colors that I live in a country where we have the freedom to elect our leaders based on how WE think the country should go.

God bless America, and God bless President Bush.
