However, I saw something interesting I'd love some comment on.
I'm standing in line with about 40 other people. There is a mom and her 2 teenage daughters passing out sample ballots and pointing out to people that there are two lines -- 1 for A-K and 1 around the corner sorta for L-Z. They are kind and polite. No sign of anyone for the democratic side, but there was a table set up with sample ballots. Up walks this man in a dark blue suit with Kerry buttons on each lapel, a briefcase in one hand and a cell phone in the other. He announced, LOUDLY "I'm here to make sure there is no voter intimidation or disenfranchisement!" Everyone turned to look at him. There was NOTHING going on! The mother looked at him and said, "we are handing out sample ballots." One of the teenage girls said, "And pointing out there are 2 lines so that people don't stand in the wrong one and then have to go to the back when they get to the door." The suit GLARED at this girl of about 15 and said, "WHY ARE YOU DIRECTING VOTERS TO OTHER DOORS!!!" About that time, a man stepped forward and said, "Sir, if you will look up ahead, there are 2 doors marked A-K and L-Z. These ladies are just offering a courtesy to people." "Well then!! I will have to look into this because we simply CANNOT have voter disenfranchisement!"
He stalked inside and was still on his cell when I came in about 10 minutes later. I heard him say to whomever he was speaking, "Well, yeah, there was a slight problem with some Bush supporters, but I put them in their place....... Well you know how it is in these little towns....... I'll call you as soon as I see something wrong."
Those of us in line were just stunned and shocked beyond belief. The utter arrogance and outright lying! What is wrong with these people?!?!?
They're totally desperate. Luckily in Arlington we didn't have that, but we did have a bizarre foreign film shoot going on:

They're Democrats-and not just any Democrats.They're leftists.And panicking.And desperate.And losing.
That guy broke the law when he walked in the poll and used his cell phone. I do believe that use of cell phones by non electoral workers in a poll is illegal!
