Alicia Balseiro, 70, an ardent Bush supporter in Miami, said on Thursday that she had come out to vote early for a big reason. "I don't know if I'll die tomorrow," she said.

I was talking to a Nueces County Republican official a few days ago, and he mentioned an elderly Republican who had died. My father aske if that person had voted yet, and I asked if it was still too late for him to vote in Nueces County.

There was a thread here on FR in which a Freeper's father was discharged from the hospital with a terminal diagnosis, and was going into a home care center. On the way, they drove him by his voting place and he got to vote for Bush. They brought the voting stuff to him in the ambulance. He got to vote and then they took him to the home care center. A few hours later, he lapsed into a coma and passed away. It was quite a post to read.

Here in Madison on Thursday, more than 80,000 people jammed onto a sloping boulevard leading up to the State Capitol to hear Senator John Kerry and Bruce Springsteen urge them to vote Democratic and, if possible, to do so early. Fresh from the rally, thousands in the crowd were directed to walk six blocks to the city-county building to cast their votes, marching behind Kerry volunteers toting "Follow Me" banners.
