I live a block away from my polling place. At the last primary, I was 2nd in line at my arrival at 07:00. Tomorrow, I intend to get there around 06:30 and will be interested to see what number I am in line.
I have already studied the sample ballot and there are 19 offices to be voted for and 10 amendments which I have already studied and know my vote selection by number. I will pronbably be in the voting booth no longer than a couple of minutes.
I have a problem with spread-out voting because I'm not that convinced that security can be maintained over such a long period. We are already seeing a lot of vote fraud reports and with the liberalization of registration, I worry about 'Cook County' vices prevailing.

I agree with all you say except there's no way I'll be in line anywhere NEAR 6:30 a.m. I hope everyone is at least voting YES on #1.
A bit from the Daytona News Journal:
Supporters of the amendment say it would block frivolous lawsuits that often delay executions by a decade or more, and cost taxpayers millions of dollars for court-appointed lawyers and judicial staffing.
Florida voters in 1998 backed a similar constitutional measure to preserve the death penalty by a 73 percent margin. But the Florida Supreme Court threw it out, saying voters weren't told the measure also affected other types of prison sentences.

I was 1st in line at my polling place with about 5 behind me very quickly. By the time the polling place opened, there were roughly 28 people in line. It took me longer to get my electronic card than it took me to vote on the touch-screen. So long as people have a picture ID out to show and study the ballot before going into the polling place, there should be no problems! Now we will see how some of the NOTORIOUS precincts do.
