Huh?
All I said was that there was no food and no stickers, a 20-minute wait and I voted for Obama/Biden on the Working Families line.

Voted absentee a week or so ago. First time I've ever had to stand in line to vote absentee.
I don't like phone bank or robocalls, but I don't understand why I only received them from one party this time around -- and not the party I vote for 95% of the time. With Virginia up for grabs for the first time in a long time, I figured I'd be deluged with calls from both parties, but that's not what happened.

I got up early, headed to the voting center at about 6:30, was out by 6:48 and back in the bed at 8:30 once I had settled down.
And now I'm going home to wait and watch...

I voted at 2pm in the East 30s of Manhattan. In and out in 10 minutes. Friends said that the lines were around the block before work.

Voted Oct. 20th in Florida for Obama and No for Am. 2. Only had a couple of people ahead of me and it took a total of about 10-15 minutes!

Voted absentee about two weeks ago; the only downside is not getting the "I Voted" sticker.

For some reason, I just love seeing people with their "I voted" stickers.

Really want to know?? I voted on Oct. 17 or thereabout. Today I got out of bed, fixed coffee, had a tall orange juice, checked my computer, then went out and walked my dog before breakfast. Whenever I walk my dog I can't help but think about his wild cousins in the north. He's half husky, half arctic wolf. A friend once told me that when you look in his eyes you can see the wilderness. I took today off after a long marathon work session ending yesterday. I'm now waiting, as you are, to hear the results. He's growling at me now. He always does that when I'm on the computer and he wants attention. It's a friendly, talkative growl.

They use our school as a polling place, and we had school today, so today was crazy. There is no way to really secure the gym from the rest of the building, so our day was spent keeping the kids where they were supposed to be and the voters where they were supposed to be. Not to mention the parking lot insanity. Usually this polling place goes in spurts of people, but today it was a constant stream.
Personally, I only waited about 15 minutes to vote at about 4:45. The best part was that as we were standing in line one woman came out with her 4 year old son who said "So...who did you pick?"

I'm still registered in New Jersey even though I've lived in NYC for 2.5 years. I went home for a long weekend and voted at my small town city hall this morning. I must say, I'm definitely spoiled by the ease of my hometown polling place: I walked through the door at 7:30, was the second person in line, voted, and was across the street having breakfast with friends by 7:40. No drama, no wait, no irregularities. It couldn't have been simpler.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

My district and two others are at the local Knights Of Columbus. Got there about 1:41. Walked in, the woman at my table had the book opened to the page with my name on it, signed it, voted, and was back out by 1:43. No I Voted stickers here either.
