Did you vote?

[Mouse Skywalker]

I did.

Lines weren't too bad this morning here in Rochester. Needed to drop DD10 off at school early for chorus practice and I took her with me. She was very excited to pull the lever to close and open the curtain.

I did. I stopped on my way to work and got my vote in.

We voted early on Saturday in our county! Waited 1 1/2 hours to do it, but it was worth it to not have to deal with the lines today!

I feel very grown up. I'm 35 years old and this is the first presidential election that i've voted in!

I got up early and hit the polls when they opened. It only took about 20 minutes. I vote in all elections, it is the only way we can have a real voice in our government.

I'm lucky enough to be in a state where the electorial vote isn't pre-determined like CA or NY so it is even more important.

We are in a suburb of Rochester, my DH went on his way into work and it was empty. Then he went and got his free coffee at Starbucks.
My kids have today off (schools used for voting), so my morning has been a bit more lazy then normal but I just got out of the shower and then we will head over. My younger 2 girls always like to go and "vote", so they can go to school and say they voted.

It feels good to vote, especially in an election as monumental as this one.

It'll be fun to watch the broadcast tonight. I sure will miss Tim Russert and his white dry-erase board though. He was the highlight for me back in 2000 and even 2004.

I have to wait until after work, I start too early.
BTW, Im not telling who I am voting for!!!!

I arrived at 6:50am and was the 47th voter (polls opened at 7am here in PA)! Took me until 7:25am before I was done.

I looked at the line as I was leaving and called dh to tell him to hurry up. It was out the door of the church and about 30yds down the sidewalk and around the corner! I've never even stood on a line there before that went out the door of the church!

It is going to definitely be a crazy day!

I'm impressed you've kept it a secret for this long!

I voted absentee last month

 

[peacelovemickey]

Got there at 6:50 and the when the polls opened I was only one of 5 people in the A-L line. Some guy go tin with a Joe Plummer shirt on. I can't beleive no one stopped him!

 

[jeanigor]

The polls don't open here until 7am and I was in the office before 6:30. My secretary voted before she came in and she said the lines weren't too bad. We'll just see what they are like around 4:30.

 

[NC Belle]

Dh and I voted this morning---no lines.

 

[UrsulasShadow]

Geez, I just woke up (ahhh, the life of the unemployed!). I'll be heading out to the polling location on my way to the gym...in about an hour. Even though my state has always been predetermined, I feel it's important to get my voice heard and not to be complacent.

 

[wildfan1473]

We are going to wait until DS6 gets home from school and DH gets home from work and all go together, they both left before the polls opened. We have a kids booth for them to vote, so he and his younger brother are both excited about that.

Fortunately, we live in the middle of nowhere, and our township has under 500 people, so there are never any lines. In fact, we are so far in the boonies, the bar/restaurant across from the town hall (which is the original school house from over 100 years ago), is called "Boonies".

Predetermined.....Massachusetts???? I can't believe such a thing!!!!

 

[NWOhioAngela]

Yep! The wait was 45 minutes in our small rural town. I'm usually in and out in 10 minutes.

 

[DaveH]

We voted this morning. We waited for about 30 minutes. I was number 656 and that was when the polls here were open for about an hour and 20 minutes. I saw lines on TV for the area, some looked like lines for Toy Story Mania.

Were all the fast passes gone already?
