I voted here in Jackson County, MI (Precinct #1) at 11:00AM. I was #822, waited in line for 20 minutes, and was surprised at the high turnout at my small, rural precinct.

Interesting notes:

1) Prop 2 (Stem cell abuse) opponents were working in the parking lot.

2) A conversation in line nearby was about pollsters and how to-be voters were lying to them as well as the number of robocalls they’d been getting.

Tonight will be a very long night.

My family all votes at the same location, a church within walking distance of all of us. My sister and brother-in-law voted at 10:15, my husband and I voted at 11:00, and then my sister and I took our 90 year old mother to vote at 12:30: no lines at all. I understand that they were busy earlier in the day and expect to be busy again after 4:00. I think my mother was ~#325 at 12:30. This is in Plymouth Township in western Wayne county. I think we are a red precinct.

I got a call at about 2:00 from my daughter who recently moved to Minneapolis. She got to the polls at 6:50 this morning and waited an hour and a half to vote. She heard they are expecting 80% turnout in Minnesota. Don't know what this all means....
