[quote:AeonSpirit:MV8zOTI3Njg0XzcwODgxMTUyX0Q5MEJFMUE1] I lost my license last week, went to replace it yesterday and the only dmv around here that does it was closed mondays, so I felt like an ass walking in, but I had a recently expired paper temp license they let me use haha. They were shutting people THE FUCK down who had no ID (and im glad) but I am supposed to be able to vote provisional ballot and they said no, and I politely insisted on a double check etc. until I pulled out that temp. they also acted like other forms of id weren't ok and I already read on my city website there were options. They just said no unless you knew your shit. The folks running it were all hella elderly and probably red too but if that had been a city dem affair it would have been heinous. STRAIGHT RED TICKET. Small red town of about 12k midwest, and it was PACKED 7 am. I saw loads of elderly/disabled showing up and as I left I had to wait on a couple in about their mid-40's, husband was basically carrying the wife in who was obviously dying of cancer and in serious pain. I saw the look in her eyes though. Hardcore UFC style voters out there today. Saw obvious dems too, even at 7 am, kinda weird, especially for this town. [/quote]

Already saw two posts today’s that were interesting, to say the least.
One, someone wrote their daughter in CT went in to vote and noticed TWO others listed at their address on the list. The person lives alone....poll workers marked the entries if the people try to come in today and vote they will be stopped. Then said a murmur ran through the workers as they noticed a few other “duplicates” too.
She also commented that there ARMED POLICE there. Maybe expecting some trouble today. Makes me think of the early days in Iraq after the war, when people literally took their lives in their hands for the privilege of participating in the democratic process of voting. How the hell did America slide this far Way from oir basic beliefs?
Anyway, more on topic: I just thought we needed a thread to keep track of what’s going on at polling stations around the country Tell us where you are (you can just put the state if you want to maintain your anonymity),what you saw or experienced and how busy it was.
I voted early to avoid the polls but I expect there will be plenty of folks with “a story of their experiences” today!
