Wife and I are headed in at 10am. :tu

Hey mods ... can we get an "I Voted" badge for the next week? :D

The early voting lines were crazy here. My neighbor stood in line for more than two hours the other day before he hit the door to the library and gave up. I went this morning and had no line at all. I guess everybody else stood in the early voting lines:D

I went in last week, was in and out in 15 minutes.

I have to admit that there were a few positions up that I had no idea were open and never heard of the candidates. So instead of just guessing or going with a certain party, I wrote in Alice Cooper or Denny Crain.

As someone once said: "When I die, bury me in Chicago so I can keep voting!"

I've been reading some stories about problems in Philly. Piece of cake in my neighborhood. I was in and out in about 2 minutes.

10:55 .... three people in line in front of me. I love living in a small town. Maybe 6 or 7 minutes, but much of that was letting elderly voters jump in front of the line. Geezers ..... sheesh.

It took all but about ten minutes but I waited in line for about a minute of that.

Was about 10 minutes for the wife and me -- longer line than we can recall, actually. The place was hoppin' for such a small town.

I wonder how many first time voters today? And I don't mean 18 year olds.

#48 at my precinct this morning. 6:45 a.m. Big turnout expected.

Got in line at 6:15 under a steady rain, made it into the school gym at 7:00, marked my paper ballot in about 30 seconds, and then stood in line for another hour because the ONE optical scanning machine at our polling location was jammed and no one knew how to fix it. It would come on, then shut off, annoying alarms sounding, then restart, work for a few ballots, then jam again, alarms sounding, etc. Bunch of elderly elections officials huddled around pushing & pulling on things--one guy, no lie, smacked the side of it like my dad used to do to "adjust" our console color TV. :rolleyes:

They finally decided that they shouldn't keep nearly 600 people couped up in the gym for so long and went to "Emergency Back-up Plan B", which was to have everyone drop their ballot off in a black box by the door, to be scanned in later.

There were dozens of elections officials and lawyers from the Protect the Vote campaign observing, but apparently only 1 tech crew for our entire county. Nothing like a little paper jam to screw up an otherwise well-orchestrated voting day.
