there was a line at my place, but it was for zone 1210. I live in 1211!!! No line. Shame too, I was all geared up for it. Bottle of water, ziplock of cheerios, a good pen. But I'd much rather have no line. Sorry Vortex. But be happy so many of your neighbors are voting!

Oh ya. And no sticker!!! WTF?!?! Must be the economy or something.

I cannot believe I have to sit through class tonight! gah! I want to get home ASAP and watch returns!

No worries Nora. It takes a couple weeks for the Supreme Court to decide who won. You have plenty of time. :: ducks & covers ::

Boooooooooooo!!!!

I vote we skip 43 altogether (would that the world could do the same) and go straight for 44. How perfect would it be if that were the thread we were turning over today.

BFF's husband got to the polls at 5AM (they open at 6 in VA). First in line was a 62 year old African American man who was voting for the first time. He was really excited, had people take his picture next to the VOTE HERE sign, taking pictures of the people in line. He'd been there since 2AM because he wanted to be first. SO CUTE.

WOW. 2AM?? That's hardcore!!!

Though it makes me sad that he's 62 and this is the first time he's voting, yeesh!

I walked past my polling place (which is all of two short blocks away, yay living in the city), and it was pretty empty. Silly making everyone absentee vote! I could see inside, and there were maybe 20 people in there (at about 10AM), but I"ll bet half were workers. No line outside. But I went to the coffeeshop nearby and they said they've not yet been that busy on a weekday (they just re-opened in that location about six weeks ago). They didn't realize they were right near a polling place! And a guy who had an "I Voted" sticker gave me one when I said I was sad absentee voters didn't get any. Yay!

Aw, that's awesome, Vortex.

Greg went at 6:30 this morning, had to wait an hour. I'm going after he gets off work. That way we don't have to take the kids with us...it's the first time we haven't voted together since we were married. We are weird.

Varietal~ma for Erin, sj, juliana, shir, vw and Barb.

got in line before 7( when the pools opened) took about 45 minutes to vote -- usually we walk in , get checked off and vote with only one or two people ahead. Just drove by my polling place at 1030 -- and there were 20 to 30 in line. That never happens during work hours- so cool. Of course -- one of our pool workers makes great cookies. so we get a cookie when we vote.
