    I voted early last Wednesday. Just walked right in and out, no waiting. The parking lot was FULL.
    All the people working the early voting outnumbered the voters 50 to 1 or more.

    The wife voted this afternoon, in and out. No waiting. Most folks in our area seem to vote early.


    I never peel the sticker till after the results are in. If I voted for the winner, I peel and wear it.
    If not, it goes on my Thermos!

    I didn't vote in one presidential election and still regret it. That's why I now vote in every election, even if it's just for city council.
    Kind of a strange sentiment, 'even if it's just for city council'. It seems to be pretty much the same everywhere: local elections, due to their lack of political "sex appeal" I guess, are vastly underestimated.

    As an aside, being a foreigner in Finland local elections are the only elections I to vote on.

    I see your point. Sadly, local elections rarely draw a significant turnout in my town and success has more to do with popularity and name recognition than qualifications. I'm going to a zoning meeting tonight so maybe they will surprise me.

    Yeah we finally voted

    Our county had some really contentious races also so we had a "Yuge" turn out

    Freedom rang locally for us also

    I have never seen our little Firehouse polling station EVER this busy, first time in 16 years I haven't driven up parked in the lot and voted within 15 minutes, including talking with the neighbor ladies that check yer ID to yer name on the rolls

    The line of parked cars went down both sides of the street..

    Gotta wait until later in the day to try again
    CHECKED YOUR ID? That's racist!! LOL.

    I voted and I can honestly say that my presidential vote meant nothing. Living in California my vote is guaranteed to be stolen from me and given to the democratic candidate. Thanks to our IDIOTIC electoral system, my individual vote is completely meaningless.

    I voted third party.
