I did sign waving this AM with a friend. We hit 3 polling places covering 12 precincts in SE Broward with large numbers of registered voters. One of the precincts went 45-55 dem in 2008 and I have no clue about breakdowns for the others but they are likely similar. Turnout was very light. The busiest of the 3 polling places was doing about 50 voters an hour and the least busy about 1/2 of that (9-11am).
We got lots of thumbs up for Newt but our sample was so small that it means nothing. Much more interesting is the fact that the Broward SOE shuffled the deck on polling places for a good number of voters. If people show up to the wrong polling place, they are issued a ticket with the new address on it...if their old polling place is still a polling place. If their old site is not in use, they have to figure it out for themselves. I think this may impact the elderly more so than other groups.
I have elderly parents and it would upset their applecart, especially if the place was just closed with no idea where to go.
Look folks, the mass of today’s voters are going to vote just before the closing poll hours!!! I never give up!!! LIke Yoga Berra says, “it ain’t over ‘till its over!!!”.
So..... we should all get on Free Republic and instead of yaking about this or that, we should all post & urge our fellow voters to get out to the polls and vote for Newt Gingrich in massive numbers!!! Please, your country is at stake!!! Do it, if not for yourselves, but....for your children, your grandchildren and American children yet to come!!! God Bless America, & Thank you!!!
