Vote
Left my house to vote at 8:04 and was back home by 8:16. Granted, my polling place is literally around the corner, but it seems that so many people took the early voting option that there was no line and no wait.
Folks, voting is not going to be a hassle. No excuses. Get out there, and make the change you need.
This will be the place to watch the results! I can't wait!

Posted by: Dan at November 2, 2010 09:01 AMIf it's like here a lot of people will vote on their way home from work on shopping, there's always a glut of voting in the mid-late afternoon and early evening because of that.
Helps that they usually put up polling stations on railway and bus depots (and have experimented with putting them on highway truckstops as well).
Posted by: JTW at November 2, 2010 09:05 AMThere have been a few, very few, reports of people going down to vote and being told that they had already voted in TN. I always vote early, usually on the first day. Let ACORN explain why "I" am voting twice. ;)
Posted by: Tregonsee at November 2, 2010 09:42 AMWent to the poll at 6 am, pooring rain and really bad, yet the place was full. And the people there were not on the way to wark.
Get ERrr done.
Posted by: David at November 2, 2010 10:49 AMIt took me 30 minutes in Durham this morning. I was there about 7:45. The line was out to the parking lot and longer when I came out. I've never seen it this busy for a mid-term election. Some friends were in line with me. They said they went to vote early last Saturday. The line was around the block with only 30 minutes left. They obviously didn't stay.
Posted by: Rob at November 2, 2010 12:07 PMIt took me 3-4 minutes to vote in Staunton, VA at 4:00pm. Then again, it wasn't hassle-free for everyone. The woman behind me was unpleasantly surprised to learn that there was no Democrat on the ballot. Bob Goodlatte, who represents the 6th district (Lynchburg + most of the Shenandoah Valley) is so popular he only had a Libertarian and an Independent to run against.
Posted by: Dr. Weevil at November 2, 2010 05:11 PMMy polling place is a quarter-mile away. Voted late (5:30 Eastern) to avoid the rush. Good idea, as the poll workers told me it was truly crowded earlier. Apparently voting early was quite popular this year.
I am ashamed to say we had a really low turnout here in Buncombe County, only 45%, which is apparently a record low. Maybe that's how ultraliberals like Patsy Keever squeaked through.
