Polls were crowded and poll watchers were numerous in Aberdeen, SD. I hope that means that the ballot boxes will be hard for Tim Johnson dems to stuff.

We voted in Alexandria, VA this morning around 830 am, no problems, touch board electronic ballot, easy to read and easy to vote. Somewhat surprised by the larger than normal off year election turnout. There is a 1/2 percent increase in the sales tax on the ballot to fund transportation projects. Voted straight Republican and no to the tax increase.

Just voted in Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County, FL. It was at the FOP building. There was much electioneering going on on the grounds. Firefighters are pushing their candidate, a democrat. I waited just six minutes in line. Theresa LePore had sent out sample ballots to all voters. If one had taken the time to read the sample and make the decisions beforehand, one could vote, using the new machines, and be back outside in no time. Of course there are more republicans around here, so not TOO many problems.
