"Does it say something about those of you who consistently refer to the female candidate by her first name and the male candidate by his last name? Does that insinuate that the lady is less than or that the man is more formidable?"

What it says, besides corresponding to the marketing of both campaigns, is that Hillary Clinton, unlike Donald Trump, is not the first person of her last name to have been a national American political leader. And that when one says Clinton one may still be and often is referring to Bill Clinton.

But why let that stop anyone from making it about sexism?

In line to vote right now on 77th Street. Huge turnout! So excited for Hillary. #ImWithHer



Also wanted to mention the wide range of ethnicities on the line here. White, Black, Asian, Indian, Latino, older and younger. This is what America should be. I am so proud right now.

No wait for me and my daughter. Her first time voting, but there was a small line after we voted. Heavy Democratic area - no poll watchers and not a single candidate sign. Many races uncontested.

We have voting in my building. (for the first time, students are not here....but obviously, I am) I'll try to report in from time to time.



Right now? constant stream, no line

I voted here in Maryland a couple of weeks ago thanks to early voting. It's the one thing this tax-happy state gets right.

"At least I did my duty as a citizen of this here United States even though I won't be living here permanently.

I will be officially living abroad and flying back and forth as required."



If you don't mind sharing, what country will you be living in? Best of luck !!

"I voted in the same place I have for the last 25 years, and for the first time ever, there was a wait, of about 30 minutes."

Wow, I have always had to wait to vote in NC. This year it was about 30 min (early voting) which was quicker than 2012.

"I still can't get excited over going to choose two horrible candidates. Can't believe this is what it's come down to for our country. We should have had 2 much better people( man or woman, I don't care which) to choose from. Personally, it's a sad day for our country. This whole thing has made us a laughing stock. This is really the best our country has to offer? "

When people complain about the candidates my first question is did you vote in the primary, that answer is way to often no. If you don't vote in the primary then you really should not complain so much about the candidates. I voted in primary and my selection did not win nomination but at least I tried to voice my opinion.

Funny story. I was in Ireland last March and having dinner at the oldest pub in Ireland. The place had a storyteller and two men playing Irish songs while having dinner and a few drinks. My wife and I chatted a bit with the storyteller later in the evening and he asked where we were from and we told him the US. The first thing he said with a grin was "You people are not going to elect Trump are you". My wife and I laughed and said we don't know .

"Anecdotal stories of higher-than-usual turnout, with lines and waits where they've never been seen before, is good news, right?"



I think it is always good when there is a huge turnout to vote, that is the point of a Democracy. Others may think it is good because it favors their candidate of choice but I am just glad that in a divisive political campaign people are voting.

"Thank you! I'm moving to Rome. "



Awesome !! My in-laws just came back from vacation in Italy and my wife and I are planning a 10 day trip to Italy in 2017.

You're moving to Rome with someone you met a month ago? Are you sure you're not going to a sanitarium?

Two months, whatever. We all saw the thread, boricua.
