Don't be offended if I don't reply. I'm not intentionally rude. Just very unorganized when it comes to email.

Early Poll Report

I stopped by the poll in my area (a heavy Republican precinct) about 7:45 this morning and talked to one of the workers and a precinct captain.

Both felt that turnout was about the same as in previous elections. Both expressed disappointment, saying they had expected the line to be out the door.

There was, as usual, a fairly long line early and, as usual, some people stood in line a while before leaving leave for work, abandoning their opportunity. Three or four even made it all the way through the process and were only waiting for a booth, but it got to the point where they just had to leave (which will be confusing for everyone should they return later and attempt to vote).

I drove by another polling place in a heavy Democrat area and didn't see much activity from the outside (about the same as the other) but didn't go inside.
