Subject: I just got back from early voting - the wait was a solid 2 hours

I will be back at 7am to try again.

Otherwise I will be in line on Tuesday after work at my local polling spot (a church).

I did get 2 Obama bumper stickers and a new yard sign though. Woot!

Remember, too, that on election day, ALL the precincts will be open - right now there are just a handful in each county and they have to sort thru ballots for each precinct in the area they are serving. Probably won't be any lines on Tuesday!

I sent in my absentee ballot 2 weeks ago - amen for that option!!

He is very excited about his first presidential election.

I'm so proud of him for exercising his civil right to vote.

really weird location. My old polling place was right on the way to and from work.

Where I used to live the polling places were in schools (very cool for the students) or at city operated civic centers (like at the local park).

Here in Volusia they all seem to be in churches. And the Baptist Church where my precint votes has a big sign out front that says to vote YES on the hateful anti-gay marriage amendment, aka Amendment 2. I just drove past there and saw it. How can that be legal? It really pissed me off.

I wish I had time to get this on a t-shirt and wear it there on election day:

"I'm so far to the left I support abortion during gay marriage while on drugs!" -- Kathy Griffin.

it's a discount tire store! And it's not convenient at all for me so I went absentee/mail in.
