I have stories from TWO polling places - my own, and the church when I went to the noon Mass.
My polling place:
I was working the polls from 6 - 9 (going back at 4 to close)- Steve came with me to vote before going to work. He didn't actually vote until after helping me set up, but he was the 65th voter and it couldn't have been later than 6:15. I was 287 at 8:20. This is Western Spotsylvania County. There was a Kerry worker as well - very outgoing, native Virginian, Marine Vietnam vet if you can believe it. He was going to have to work two other polling places as well because the Dems down here don't have enough people to cover them all. They had enough to pull up 1500 Bush signs in a week, but that's different.
The church:
St. Patrick's school got used as a polling place, and it was kind of a disconnect to see all the Kerry signs out front. Some people walked into the church thinking the voting was in there and had to be redirected. There was one lonely Kerry worker, sitting dispiritedly on the trunk of his car as most people headed for the Bush poll worker.
I live in Estates of Chancellorsville and voted at St. Patricks - there were a few Kerry signs and a few Bush signs. But a lot higher turnout at 0630 than last time - it took me about 30 minutes.
