I waited 2 hours sat morning to cast my vote and judging from the calls I'm getting from my people, its was a smart move. Obama gonna have VA on lock.

YES! I straight voted on these suckers mayne!

My voting story:



I went to vote at the elementary school next to my house which is that same one I went to from first grade on and the same one my mom took me whenever she wentto go vote.

I got there at about 7:30ish and got online for the 39th Election district. Like most of Queens my district contains a lot of immigrants and there are a lot ofelderly in my neighborhood. Combine this with a rather ineffectual polling staff and you'll understand that they'll be some difficulties to arise.

Each district has two machines (the old school switch-and-lever that NY will be using for the last time in this election) to it and the No.2 machine eitherbroke down or people needed assistance with at least five times. At least two separate people started arguments with the volunteers. It seemed to take a lotlonger than it actually did but I ended up getting in and out in about a half hour and luckily was only about 20 minutes late to class.

Didn't get an I Voted sticker so that sucked but I have my voter card to commemorate my first ballot ever cast. I think next time I'lltry volunteering at the polling place.

I am seeing a lot of McCain signs for the first time in my area of Orlando.

It's been ALL Obama thus far.

ima have to call ducktales...thats not campaigning and you def dont lose your right to vote b/c of it- do like highschool when you wore an offenseshirt and the principle mad eyou turn it inside out...vote in your undershirt...vote in no shirt....but who gets turned away and just leaves?? doesnt makesense-

anyways my joint was str8 - waited in a line for like 10mins only to find out i didn't have to cause it was separated by streets...so i walked over to theother section and was outta there in 5 mins-

if your having line issues go during non peak times- obv right before work, lunch time and right after work are gonna be the busiest...think of it like theregistry-

and im sure most employers/teachers are being lenient today-

and im sure most employers/teachers are being lenient today-

"Wearing campaign paraphernalia-a button, a sticker and, of course, a T-shirt-in support of any candidate is seen as passive electioneering.Some states are more lenient. In Kentucky, Maryland and Florida, election officials most often make no fuss about voter attire. The only thing banned there isthe display of excessive campaign garb (i.e. head-to-toe Obama gear) or outright solicitation. Wearing campaign paraphernalia and lingering in the pollingstation is also a no-no in those states.
Other states, such as Pennsylvania and New York, maintain laws on passive electioneering while remaining lax in enforcement. In New York, for example,refusing to comply with the request of election officials to remove an item is considered a misdemeanor, but arrests have rarely-if ever-been made."

i understand that and have heard of it but that doesnt say anything to my point- its not "campaigning" and if your state is one thatchooses to enforce this "passive electioneering" then ok BUT that still doesn't take away your vote...as i said turn it inside out, take it off,change it- your there and you still can vote

 

[falcon4567]

Does anyone know where I can find a dynamic, accurate representation of the polls?

CNN has a map up but no results in yet.

 

[springfieldxd]

I stood in line for 3 hours to vote, while the old dude in front of me was trying to convince me that all diseases were caused by a vitamin deficiency, evenebola.

some lady from Acorn was passing out "ACORN'S political alignment flyers, to sway undecided voters at the last minute. I think this was illegal, butwhatever...

and they were turning away people with Obama/Mccain shirts, but most just took it off and threw it in the car, no biggie...

 

[keedasneak23]

I voted early smh @ all u procrasinators lol

I kid doesn't matter as long as you vote...Barack the Vote Yall
