[quote:Some Guy From Andromeda:MV8zOTI3Njg0XzcwODgyNzI0XzY5MTEwMTBC] Just got back from voting in Northeast PA with a heavy Hispanic population. There were only 3 people standing in line at the polls, including myself. The first person (really heavy Hispanic accent, clearly unable to communicate in English) was apparently at the wrong voting location. The people working there were trying to tell him where to go, but he clearly had no idea what they were talking about. The Hispanic woman in front of me...they found her registered in the file, but asked her what her political party was. She replied, "Democrat." "...because it says you're a registered Libertarian." the poll worker replied. I got a little laugh out of that. The polling location is only 2 blocks away from my house, and on my walk home, less than a block from the polling location....two people hanging out in an alley surrounded by a super strong smell of marijuana. So...yeah, that was my voting experience lol. [/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!
