[quote:Hadriana:MV8zOTI3Njg0XzcwODgxMjI3X0U0NjYzREI0] In Georgia, packed since open. Poll workers upset that they got half the normal number of voting machines. While there, saw 2 people leave without voting. One was black. She left her boyfriend there to walk home. In the rain with a tornado watch. That guy wanted to vote. Would have offered him a ride but he was gone when we all got done. The other person was an old man who said he would come back after work. Wait time 20-30 minutes. I am handicapped and they offered to let me use a handicapped station so my wait time was 5 minutes. I had other family voting so I sat and watched. I saw several people check democrat ballot. All women, black, or men who set off gaydar. Saw a family of Hispanic all check Republican ballot. We know them- business owners. My estimation was 65- repub, 35 democrat. Women were voting dem.more than men. I watched about 25 minutes. That's just what I saw. Oh, only 2 young people. Most everyone else over 40. I know one voted Republican. [/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!
