I voted this morning in the Orange/Villa Park area of Orange County. The ballot is a single sheet, blacken the box affair, pretty straight forward. I had no problem remembering to vote yes on the recall but did almost forget to vote on the 2 propositions.

The line was out the door at 7:50 am when I arrived, and was still out the door at 8:30 when I left. The system they used was very time consuming, first waiting on a line to sign in, then waiting on another line to get a ballot, then going to the booth, and I did see a few folks leave out of frustration but, geez, a half hour is nothing compared to the prospect of 3 more years of Gov. Clousseau.

Final note to the LA Times - For the first time in my life, I contributed $$ to a particular candidate - Tom McClintock, early in the campaign. However, I am so determined to counter the LA Times hit pieces in this election, that I voted for Arnold. We need a mandate to repudiate this dirty tricks crowd.

Is this a Republican area?

Good logic and vote. We must defeat Davis, Bustamante, Mulholland, the RATS, and the L.A. Slimes.

Voted at 7:30 in the Mission Hills area of San Diego. Middle of the road, evenly split district. Turnout light but steady. Voted yes, Arnold, yes, yes.

Congratulations! You did the right thing. It's not over yet -- with the record 10 Million turnout (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/996773/posts), where:

"Democrats are expected to cast about 43 percent of the votes and Republicans 38 percent, with the remaining 19 percent to be cast by independents or voters from other parties, according to the Field Poll. "

we need all the votes we can get to make sure that Davis is recalled and Arnold gets elected.

There are some predictions floating around that Bustamante wins -- if he does, we know who will be responsible: the McClintock voters.

You, at least, will have a clear conscience, and let's hope enough people voted as you do to make sure Arnold will get the plurality of the votes and it would be nice to be ahead by enough, to forestall any court challenges.
