Please go back. I am concerned after reading many posts from FReepers about long lines and leaving to go back later. Line may be just as long later. Stand in line and VOTE! Obama supporters will stand in line for weeks at a time for free handouts, we must Stand up and VOTE!

Not to worry. My wife and I have always voted together and today will be no different. When she gets off work at 2:30, we'll be headed to the polls and casting our vote for McCain/Palin and "YES" on 2!

I voted this morning about 8:30 am. The Election Official said that already 20% of the registered voters in my district had already voted. This is very heavy turnout for my district (Suburb of Rochester, NY). In my area there are many more McCain-Palin signs than Obama-Biden. Local candidates are about equal. Most yards with signs for local democrats, did NOT have an Obama sign.

Voted at 10:45 in the Highlands area of Louisville (loaded with liberal Democrats). Our three precincts vote in a church, and historically lead the entire state of Kentucky in voter participation. My vote was #1365 at that time. It was heartening to see an older couple drive their van up to the door since the woman was handicapped. That had a Nobama sign and a McPalin sign on their van. Quite a rarity in these parts. I can’t stand our metro council member who was running unoppposed, so I wrote in my husband’s name!

I’m in Idaho...and I can tell ya, the line was LONG....not very many young folk, a lot of 30s +....and this was on a gray and wet and cool morning. Something’s got people energized.

Someone I read called about “broken glass” conservatives...the type of election where you’d walk over broken glass to get your vote out. I saw some of that. Hoping people all over the country see it too!

Just heard from my friend in Philadelphia. Obama supporters are out early this morning offering “rides” to the voting booth. I told him that’s not the only ride he’ll be taken on if Obama gets in.

Actually, was pretty surprised at the lack of enthusiasm for Obama. PA just might go for McCain this year.

Cheers!

3cats from southwest Pennsylvania, Allegheny County checking in.

Just got back from voting. Straight Republican ticket and voted no on the question about OK'ing a large sum of money for water stuff. Mainly cause alot of the money would go for grants and thus may not go to improve water infrastructure.

My wait was about 45 minutes. I took a book to read as I waited in line. The voting was touch screen. I had no problems with it.

Said a prayer on the way over that McCain/Palin would win the election today.

I've been hearing more and more life-long Democrats at work stating they are voting for McCain/Palin. Even my life-long Democrat sister told me the other day she was voting for a Republican Presidential candidate for the first time in her life.

Major snowstorm in my area of Utah.
Attention Colorado West Slope - you may want to vote early if this storm moves your way.
Just voted.
No lines.
1 for the white haired guy and Sarah Palin.

Love the PUMA pic, what a gorgeous animal! *worth noting, I am a Republican now, years ago i was a democrat. If I still were a dem...I would have been PUMA for sure! GO PUMA!

I will be heading out to vote soon too, here in OHIO!!! O...H...I....O!!!!! LOL I am so glad that perhaps my state can be the one to hand Mccain the title of POTUS! We did it for Bush!

[America2012]

I just voted for McCain here in Michigan. While at the polls I overheard a person saying “I don’t care if I am a Democrat, I’m not voting for a g*dd*mned commie!”. Probably a Reagan-Democrat or a PUMA.

It’s gonna be a very long night for Barry. LOL

A good site to compare ‘04 election results to this year. It’s (puke) CNN....but I find it easy to use.

Anaheim, Ca. I just voted and there were 7 election workers instead of the usual three. The last couple of times I just walked in and voted, this time there were eight people in front of me. There were only four electronic voting machines because one was broken and one worker was asking people if they wanted a paper ballot instead of waiting for a machine. The four additional poll workers were all college age girls and several younger people in the voting line which is unusual at this location.

I voted two weeks in Oregon’s vote by mail! (Wish I could go to a polling place instead, but I guess voting at home allows me to avoid stinky hippies.) My husband had me fill out his ballot along with mine since we are voting the same way. I got to vote for Sarah twice! Made me very happy.

Vote and pray for victory! May God bless our nation!
