My wife and I just voted.

Nothing major to report. The only thing that was interesting was that it was held in room of what use to be a teching section for nurses. They combined the 5th and 8th wards but no sign on the doors clairfing that two different wards in same polling area. each ward had seperate set up and each helpful just threw us for a small loop.

1. Busy? Crowded?

[lonestarnot]

2. Yeah, was there a line?

3. 8th ward (ours) started getting a line while I was voting. 5th ward was

"dead" no one voting. Has me a bit nervous.

4. There was no one there when I voted.

It was 7:45am. I saw more people coming when I walked back home though.

5. 1/2 of registered voters already voted

early in my suburb. The turn out has already been huge.

The bad news is that there are a lot of GOP supporters here. On the other hand other parts of Cook County Illinois (chicago and suburbs) have had similar turn outs and absentee voting, and they are extremely more reliable and smarter about who they vote for.
