Post your anecdotal observations of Pennsylvania voting here.
We're especially interested in Freepers' observations of voting in the Philadelphia suburbs.
Audubon, PA; Montgomery County (near Valley Forge)
Duh! I forgot to say that I’m in Indiana County! Town of Indiana.
Amen to that!
Love the “get out the vet”!
I hope this goes well for them and the country. THANKS once again, guys. Wow.
Duh! I forgot to say that I’m in Indiana County! Town of Indiana.
Go Oakmont! Childhood hometown. Glad to hear of a good turn out.
Warrington, PA(Bucks County), CB SOUTH HS:
Very large polling place, parking lot jammed, lines out the door at 7am!!! Mostly white men, few women.
We need massive honest Romney vote in Bucks County to help overcome the typical 135% fraud turnout in Philthadelphia.
TAKE A FRIEND, MAKE YOUR FAMILY, Vote. Get rid of the most divisive, destructive, deceitful President of ALL Time.
Voted in Chester County, Pa !
I can't vote until after work but will post number if able to. More Obama signs than McCain in 08 around here. So far I've seen only one Obama yard sign this year and the guy is totally hopeless and clueless anyway. Many Romney signs, even in yards of those who I would have suspected were Obama supporters given their demographic.
Just voted in Johnstown. My wife and I were numbers 100 and 101. Very high turnout for our little district (possibly a record for this early in the day) plus a record number of absentee ballots. I was glad to see my oldest son’s absentee ballot was recorded as received. He is in college in VA.
My youngest son is holding a bake sale at a local fire hall that serves as a neighboring voting location. Also very high turnout. (This is Jack Murtha’s district.) He’s raising funds for his Eagle Scout project. One voter came out and said they couldn’t get any Republican vote to register on their machine. They were able to receive assistance and get the problem resolved.
I voted about 3/4 hour ago, Bucks county. Three precincts vote in the same location, no line for my precinct, but there never are at that hour. One of the others had about 10 people in line. About the same as 2008. Wasn’t asked for ID. The usual signs were outside, but they were ALL Republican.
I was asked for photo ID. I smiled and showed them my license to carry. They smiled back.
I was at the same polling place in Delmont (Westmoreland Cty) at about 8:45 and the lines were substantially longer than usual. I agree that the sign-in was about as inefficient as could be imagined, but it was no different from previous years. The two precincts that vote here should be heavily Republican.
Looks like we’ll need a large turnout to help offset the “incidents” in Philadelphia.
May the heros of Benghazi be proud of how we vote today.
They gave their lives for us, now we need to give our votes for them.
Vote as if the lives of our Military Men and Women depended on it.
Marple Township, Delaware County, about 50 people in line at 7 AM, six machines in service, I was out by 7:12.
Clearfield Twp, Butler County is predominently Republican, so I take this as a good omen from out here between the woods and the hayfields.
God Bless America, Semper Fi
I’ve worked the polls since 2004 in a very purple voting district in the Yardley area of Bucks County. I live in a very purple voting district. The line at 7:00am was the LONGEST I HAVE EVER SEEN. Made 2008 look like an off-year. A big difference between today’s and the usual morning crowd was that it was not made up largely of Dems, who tend to vote first thing in the morning. These were mostly Reps. Also, we had 150 absentee ballots. The most we ever had before was 60. Most of the 150 are Rs.
That made me smile as well. Thanks for sharing.
I just voted in a suburb similar to yours: my middle-class left-leaning (Bonzo won 52-47 here last time) area east of Pittsburgh, 4 years to the minute from the time I enthusiastically voted for Sarah Palin and that schmuck she shared the ticket with.
2008: long lines, lots of little college age empty-headed white girl ‘Bimbos For Bonzo’ electioneering outside the polling place. Guy next to me in line cackling with glee about how many welfare animals (not his term, of course) had already been bussed in to vote in a nearby ghetto suburb.
2012: no line at all, I was about the 200th customer of the day. Voting went smoothly, no obvious Democrat Vote Fraud, but who knows how my vote will actually be *counted*.
A couple of large Black Panther type Bonzo voters showed up just as I was leaving but they weren’t making any trouble as far as I could tell. My precinct covers neighborhoods with a LOT of easily-intimited elderly voters though, and just seeing racist thugs waiting at the door could be more than enough to get them to retreat.
As I posted on another thread:
Unless the puppetmasters have “calibrated” the machine to alter, negate or ignore my vote — I voted to unseat the following incumbents:
1. A ultra-long term corrupt Rat bastard state legislator,
2. A blithering idiot Rat bastard U.S. Senator,
3. A slimy liberal Rat bastard Congressman (Mark Critz),
4. Best of all, I get to vote to attach some duck feathers — LAME DUCK feathers — to that empty monkey suit of a pResident!
My wife and I voted about 8:00 A.M. here in Pa just north of Reading.At that time, over 160 people had voted, a number the polling place doesn’t normally see until mid-afternoon.
