1. CO voted at 9:00am, 3 people there.
But the election worker said I just missed the end of the morning rush.

I always vote at 9:00am, it's the best time!

9. We need more than just a moderate turnout in Pitt & Philly....
...or we're going to be stuck with Pat Toomey for the next six (6) years.

3. Huge in Boston
The SecState is predicting the largest midterm turnout since 1990. I voted at 10am, and the machine had already counted 352 ballots. That's big.

6. Washington is nearly all VBM.....
Sec of State is estimating 66%, highest turnout since the 70's.

We're a blue state, so hopefully that bodes well for Patty Murray.

I'd love it if we could oust Reichert from the House, too.

8. Poll workers said my CA precinct was busier than normal
I was #47, 2 hrs. after polls opened (which is considered very busy for my polling place, with so many people voting by mail).

10. There's a lot of enthusiasm here,
although it snowed overnight in Anchorage and some of the roads on the hillside are a mess. Good for us, since that's Republican territory, probably Murkowski-leaning.

14. I voted around 1:30
in Pennsylvania and I usually vote first thing in the morning. I'm outside Philly in a mid-sized city and at our place I was number 230. Since I usually vote early I'm not sure if that's a good or bad number for our polling place. But I was the only one there--and the workers looked bored.
