Voted this morning. Just me, my wife and my neighbors. 4 votes for republicans across the board but we almost always lose up here in NE Ct.

Ha, that’s funny. The lady who gave me my ballot asked about my Molon Labe shirt. I explained Leonidas and the Spartans and all that, she told me she has seen 300 and loves the Military Channel.

I think she got it.

Not a single voter when I arrived about 2 (local elementary school gym), three walked in behind me. It was so AWESOME voting against the Ebola Judge, Clay Jenkins, here in Dallas County. And that squirrel Craig Watkins. And oh such an absolute pleasure voting against that nitwit Windy Davis, the Abortion Queen.

Voted at 7:10am in Jackson, Michigan. Mixture of Repubs and Dems...in the area. Thereand more poll workers then voters.

There was an older lady who was attempting to swipe our DL’s and she was flipping the card all over and computer was not taking any of the DL’s. So they just verified the info on the computer to DL’s...then when it came time to turn in ballot to the automatic feeder, was told, “you have to use the lock-box”, I said why, she said” we are having problems with this machine and another one is coming”.

Mine was no line. I questioned the woman who stuck the electronic key in the machine about irregularities. She asked whether I had heard of some, to which I nodded yes.

I checked every vote on the tape at the lower left, and at the end. Then I asked the guy at the exit about something about the change of voting location, which has just happened.

No big deal, really. I was just ready for the hunt if questioned.

Little rural RED township in Lehigh County Pennsylvania at the Lutheran Church.

A lot of elderly people voting on a beautiful day. No long lines but a steady stream.

We have US Congressman Dent(R) (spit) running unopposed. Governor, State Rep & State Senator.

We bought cupcakes from the church ladies on the way out :)

I live in an extremely liberal town in Kansas. The poles were light.

I figured grain fed Polish people in Kansas would be heavy. How are things at the polls, by the way?

Voted at a synagogue near our home. Most precincts there seemed to have a heavy turnout. Voters I observed showed what I would call grim determination to mark their ballots: I sensed anger with the status quo.

so I voted for Tom Corbett and wrote-in my step-daughter for the other three.

Had I known your step daughter's name, I could have written her in for governor of Illinois. I doubt that she would have wanted the job though. She would have been a better governor than the democrat and the democrat candidates on the ballot.

Yes, I know that I typed "democrat" twice.

I deliberately spoiled a ballot by overvoting on both proposals just to make sure the scanner wouldn’t accept it.

It didn’t and I got another ballot to vote with.

Just voted in my small precinct that is a blended rural/suburban section in Central, SC.

I walked in and the six booths were full, but I was “next.”

The staff told me that they had 600 people vote today. There are 1,100ish in our precinct.

Voted around 3 PM, which is roughly the same time that I voted in 2012. Seemed to be about the same amount of traffic as last time, and I was #341 (I think). Straight "R" vote, not with great vigor, necessarily, but most of the candidates listed under the Conservative Party were also listed as Republican, so not much choice on my part. This is probably one of the more conservative districts in NY, so Chris Collins should win (although he's a bit of a dope), but the big prize would be kicking Cuomo's gun-grabbing butt to the curb. Probably not likely, but it would be a great night if this happened.

I went to vote and the SOBs moved the polling place.
It took me 40 minutes to find out where to go.

West Wildwood NJ, with approximately 500 registered voters, was up to 260 votes already cast (including absentee ballots) by 6:00pm. That’s a lot of votes for a non-presidential election.

Wife and I were numbers 409 and 410 at mid-afternoon in our ward of about 1000 voters - little Republican town in south Jersey - not bad, but since we heard not one word - not TV ad, not mailer, not radio commercial - during the whole campaign season from Jeff Bell Repub running for Senate against ‘rat Cory Booker, I won’t be sruprised when Bell loses and we never hear from him again......

Same with us in Mt. Washington - Pittsburgh.

Only Repub on the ballot was Corbett - no Repub Representative for State or Federal, no Repub State Senator.

Only Doyle for Congress. Of course he'll coast in. And Doyle was the one who convinced Bart Stupak that Obamacare does not support abortion. It was a lie. Doyle claims to be a Catholic.

No opposing candidates - It's like Saddam Hussein's Iraq or The Soviet Union.

Mine was busy at noon and again in the evening here in Bellevue NE. Hope there were long lines all over, voting the criminal democrats OUT.

torrance commiefornica was empty when I went at around 1:30. But they said it would get crowded after people start getting off work around 3.

Mid morning in rural TX, there was one person at a machine when we arrived. No one came in while we were there.
