If you live in USA....

I voted last Friday about 3:30 Pm and I was the only one there. In our area the early voting is usually just the ones who have to be out of town or ones with disability.

With my myasthenia I decided that a long line and wait on Tuesday was not something that I could tolerate at this time as my weakness is worse. I sure do hope this election goes smoothly. I can't tolerate this recounting stuff--just too much chance of more error.

What happened to the old elections where one candidate was several million ahead and the election was in the bank by 10 PM. Been awhile since we have had one of those--not counting Obama. IRish

Yeah, the headlines for my school paper said something to the effect of "dear god, let it be a landslide." The article went on to give a worst case scenario wherein the results would be so close that recounts would be called for and people who were affected by hurricane Sandy would protest their ability to vote, or lack thereof.

Unfortunately for them, its going to be close, really close. I'm looking forward to watching the results trickle in tomorrow night. My point is, with the estimates being closer than they ever have been and with some predictions saying it could come down to less than 5,000 votes, it is more important than ever to vote this time around if you are willing and able.

Dad and I voted this morning.  It took 30 minutes.  Not bad.  No lines outside.  Just had to wait inside to get the ballot and then for a booth to open up.  Mom voted absentee ballot.  It was 30 degrees here so I'm glad we didn't have to stand outside. 

I guess Florida's ballot consists of 13 pages - lots of initiatives etc.  They said they would stay open until 11 PM if they had to.  Their polls close at 6 PM but anyone who is in line at that point will get to vote.  It will definitely be a late night for them.

Jan and I just got back. It took an hour. The lines were wrapped around the gym several times. Irish, I am glad that you went to vote early.

THANKS to all of you who are working the polls.  What a job!!!  Especially this year.  It's hard enough to be able to vote, but to work the hours you do with the crazy SJS.  You all deserve medals.

          THANKS again.

I voted. It took about an hour. My polling place ran out of pens because people kept taking them.  Luckily, I had one in my purse.

I signed up to be an election judge, but had a sinus infection and simply didn't have the ability to do it. I had to cancel.
