Voted around 7:30 a.m. here in Central PA.

Fairly long line for these rural parts (about a 10-15 minute wait).

When I asked a longtime poll worker "How's the turnout?" she said "We can barely keep up" (she's an elderly lady and a solid Republican - and she's been working the polls for decades). This is good, because we're in a very Republican RED area.

Here's an interesting little thing I overheard:

As I was signing in, a poll worker came over from the computer voting area and said to the poll worker with the book "We have another runaway voter - put a slash by her name". I'm guessing that this means the voter started her ballot on the computer and walked out of the polling place, but didn't press the "vote" button that actually casts the ballot. And, obviously, from the comment, she was at least the second voter to do so. Interesting phenomenon. Wonder how common this is?

I'm guessing it's a lot more common among Dems than Republican voters....
