Voted in NJ. No lines. Straight Republican of course. Voted No on the bond issue for public university grants and yes on requiring judges to contribute to their benefits.

Whatever - who else would have been even 50% as well funded as Romney to go the distance w O-Thug?

Exactly. I’m in one of the few sane areas left in Western Fairfax Co VA. Our box is heavily GOP but can do dumb things in bad years. Bush 2000 barely carried it, went big Bush in 04, McCain underperformed 08. Was insane this morning but line shorter than last two elections b/c they have the registration data on computer and got rid of he paper registration print outs.

FWIW, we have 4 e-machines in there and one paper reader. I was 189 on the paper machine alone at 7:45. The most votes ever cast in that box as a whole is around 800-900. Almost all will be Romney.

I wish I had your cup, MfM.

But my Chick Fil-A mug is good too, don’t ya think? :-)

[Outraged At FLA]

Voted here in Upstate NY in the North Country. This is a strong Romney county; it went for McCain in 08. Steady as always. People vote here every year, national election or not. One of the few places in NY where people still feel it is their duty to vote. You know, typical clingers. ;)

I noticed that. Gone are the old dot-matrix printouts!

I thanked him for his work, he smiled and said “Glad to do my job.”

Similar to you, I thanked the poll workers for their dedication with the long day ahead. The ladies were very appreciative for the kind words!

Not a voting report, but here is the final social media analysis from the NBC elections website.

This section of their site basically tracks buzz and candidate support on Facebook and Twitter.

Romney ended yesterday with a 4-point lead in expressed support. Online comments were -16 toward Obama. Online comments regarding Romney were -4. I will note this is a big move back to Romney post-Sandy, when Obama retook the lead for awhile.

I will be interested to see if this reflects turnout and the vote today.

If we’re voting for a candidate because of the size of his wallet, that speaks volumes.

[Paddy Irish]

I just voted in west Omaha at the Jewish Community Center. There was about a 15 minute wait to vote and the lady working the ballot box said people were lined up when they opened. This is a predominantly white area of town and everybody voting was white.

Just took Mom to vote. Crowded in a republican area of MD with local R congressman running unopposed. Homosexual marriage amendment going down!!!

Freeper made video featuring a FR clip:You Shouldn't vote...(for Obama) hits 1,100 views.

[GlockThe Vote]

It is what it is. We are also at war w the MSM remember?

[Sooth2222]

Volvo Republican/Hurricane Sandy area in eastern Monmouth County, New Jersey -- NO wait for either voting or gas this morning. (This is typical -- I work at home, so I try to slip in to vote around 9:30 AM after the NY commuters leave and before the soccer moms arrive.)

Other 2 precincts at the polling place had lines. MANY more Republican signs around than I can ever remember.

Few Obama signs. This is a change from 2008. Keeping fingers crossed.

Prayer to Saint Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Divine Power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

[pollywog]

Our family has supported with $$ and prayed MUCH for Todd Atkins. May God receive GLORY !!

[Tainan]

Amen and Amen.
