I'll post my experience again from another thread...
Record turnout here in Henderson Co., NC too!!! (We're just about the most Republican part of close-to-the-most-Republican county in NC!!)
I convinced my family to get there at least 30 minutes before the ballots opened, and I'm glad I told them! Dad went separately, he was there even earlier, but Mom and I got there at 6:00 AM. There was already quite a line, we voted at 7:20. By the time we left, the line looked like it was 3-4 hours long!! I just passed by another voting place on the way back to the hotel, the parking lot and streets were so packed with cars (lots of Fords and cars w/ W stickers), and the line was sooooo long.
I am SO pumped!!
I live in Forsyth County (Winston-Salem) which is a heavily Republican county. My wife and I arrived at the local grammar school to vote at 6:50 AM. The polls opened at 6:30 AM. Neighbors of ours were a few people closer to the front of the line. The line was huge. We left and are going to return at 2 PM. It took our neighbors almost three hours to vote. I've never seen anything like it.
We voted last week here in Morganton, NC. No lines. Today, they're very long. I don't know why people put things off to the last minute.
Awesome...
Hey! I live over in the Laurel Park area of Henderson County, and just voted for W this morning! My wife and I just had a new baby boy on Oct 12th, so I voted first, then came home so she could go vote for W later. There were a lot of folks in line, and everyone seemed very upbeat. I am soooo waiting on the edge of my seat to see the results this evening/tonight.
