Just voted!
We had a decent line, for our precinct. I waited about a half-hour (there's usually no wait).

Rambis and rurallib were busy working as poll watchers. Long day ahead for those two!

At least 2 people registered on-site in the half-hour I was there - yay!

How 'bout you? :)

6. I voted two weeks ago..but hubby is voting today
I drove by our voting station just a few minutes ago, and it was pretty quiet.. We had quite the push in early voting here, so at this moment in time, it does not look backed up

Now wait till 5:00 PM and it will probably change.

But it is a great feeling and good to hear people are still registering

8. Early voting.
I voted early in 2004 because I had to. I just love the excitment of showing up at the polls election day if I can.

7. First time I had to stand in line too.

I voted at a little before 4:00 and there was quite a line behind me. I waited 10-15 mins. and was number 525 that voted. I'm sure it will be even busier after 5:00 and no telling how many voted early.

9. Got in line before 7, voted #28 in my precinct
People were lined up outside when I left, which I've never seen before, and tonight I checked, and there was a long line inside.

Of course, its a small town, and it's like a gathering of friends, so things always go well here.
