We voted last Saturday morning. I wanted to get it done so Tuesday (today) was not a rush. We waited about 50 minutes in line at our county courthouse.
I vote in every election. I always bring DD with me. She is now 14. I can't believe she'll be voting in the next Presidential election. Gosh, I'm getting old! We'll vote after school.
Our county voted to do mail-in ballots, which I don't like. There's something "All-American" about walking into a polling place! I mailed in my ballot two or so weeks ago. In my 2nd grade class we're going to vote between M&Ms and Skittles. The winning candy is what they'll get! I even have some cute "I Voted" stickers for them. At least, I'll feel like I did something "election-related" today!!
I took off today and am going to vote in about a half an hour. I'm in Ohio...battleground state...I heard the lines were pretty long early this morning, but it's quieted down for the moment.

Ummm....is that even fair? M&M's are going to win by a landslide, personally I consider Skittles a third party candidate!
Really though, that is a very cute idea!
Yep, Corey and I voted! We always vote absentee because going to the polls here in Orange Co., FL is totally out of the question. The lines are always ridiculous even with all the early voting that happened.

Voted just now. Was number 152 in my polling place, 3.5 hours after the polls opened. Wait was less than 5 minutes and that was because they didn't have enough "magic pens" (it's a connect the arrows weird thing to mark your candidate). I'm in Illinois though, so not exactly a toss-up state!
Our area schools were closed today so that they could be used as polling places. So this morning I had to drive DD across town to the Community Center so she'd have a safe place to hang out for the day and that left me very little time to vote and catch my train. So, given that I work in the Loop and they are ramping up for Obama-rama in Grant Park, I am able to leave the office early in order to vote and get out of "Dodge" before the crowds descend upon us.
I will be able to vote at about 4:30 this afternoon!
I just got home from voting. They had me on the "inactive" list...ME...who has voted in every g-d election since I turned 18! They made me fill in a form and let me vote, and told me to go to town hall later in the week and give 'em heck...guess this has been going on with a lot of people in my precinct today.
Also got to the gym for the first time in MONTHS! I feel all warm and fuzzy now.
I voted!!!! My very first presidential election!!! I wanted my first time to be on election day. Got to the polling location a few minutes after they opened and waited about 30 minutes. It's absolutely amazing to see how it seems everyone who is able to vote is doing so this election.
