I vote later in the afternoon when it thins out. Some of the congregation at the Hillcrest Church don't like taking a chance being in the building when I am. 

Pull those levers kids. (still using lever machines here)

166th.

I don't feel any better. At all.

Honestly, if the line was really long or the weather real bad I might have skipped it.

To me participating in this broken exersize is not unlike trying to change the channel on the TV with a broken remote. The more time goes by the more likely I am to just watch what is on the current channel as there is mostly crap on anyways.

I dunno. It would break a long tradition and I have some really stupid local stuff to vote down. It's not so much fun voting for President in such a blue state though.

Charlie,

I got to vote TWICE.  Does that automatically turn me into a Democrat?  I feel all jiggly inside.  Smiley

(I got to fill in Jen's absentee ballot, but she signed it)

Only took 17 minutes in line on the KS side.  My cube neighbor on the MO side stood in line for 2 hours.

In line at 7:00 for the polls to open at 8:00.  Was 45th in line. 

Lots of young people in line voting for the first time.

Best,

I voted around 9am when the average age of voter was 112.  I didnt mind waiting in line but driving in the parking lot with people who cant see and havent driven in almost a year almost killed me.

Anyway, I waited in my line "A-G" while the other 2 lines had NOONE in them, but the wait was so short it really didnt matter.

Go Vote.  Even if you write in Gumby.

My secretay is working the polls so I"ll vote this afternoon.  Hopefully the lines will not be long.  I've never had to wait in line before, but I'm usually there early with all the farmers and seniors waiting for them to open.

I was talking to my son the other night and he said he got to mail is ballot in.  He lives in Washington State.

I voted at 7:10am shortly after they opened.  I had to wait in line 20 minutes. 

The is the first time I've ever seen a line.  It's a small precinct with only 1000 voters or so.

I'm counted... But in this state it won't matter...

I'm leaving to go vote now.

If cities knew that this election was going to have a huge voter response because of more registered voters than last election...why can't they just make  more polling places available.  Churches, schools etc.   People waiting in line for hours in the cold and rain just isn't right. 


Oh excuse me...that would be too logical.   Roll Eyes
