record turnout indeed

They arent screwing around when they say record turnout. My small little crap town had 25 people waiting outside the doors when i arrived at 6am. After i checked in and finished there were at least 60-70 waiting at 615. The people inside were as usual clueless. The alphabet is difficult apparently i had to instruct the woman that Ph comes AFTER Pe. Anyways, happy voting.

Thats good to hear, no so much that you had to hang out for an hour and a half but more so that the Ohio turnout is good. Its an important state for both candidates.

15 minute wait for me this morning at 6:15 AM. However, by the time I had voted and was roaming towards the door, I would estimate the line to have been at least an hour long based on my wait time and length of line when I arrived.

It's definately going to be a record turn out. Everyone seems to feel VERY strongly about their candidate this year. I saw very few indications that many were on the fence post with their decision.

It was nice to see lots of young people at the polls this morning.. Many looked to be between 18 and 25........ There was also a "challenger" working the polls this morning. I wish he would have brought his little skinny **** over and challenged me.....

I am usually number 3 or 4 at my polling place. Today I was number 89 and I arrived 15 minutes after the polls opened. Lots of young people here as well. Waited 30 minutes. There were 'challengers' from both parties at my polling place.

God Bless America and the priviledge to vote!

What's a 'challenger'?

BTW, I waited around 0 min. Of course I got there at 4:30 today.

75% of registered voters? That will set some kind of record if that's even close.

I voted the FIRST day of early voting in my city. My wife and I waited 45 minutes. I cannot imagine what it was like today.

Ah, it took me longer to walk across 2 parking lots and a SC retirement home then it did to vote. It's great working so close.

Its 2 1/2 hours after the polls closed and people are still in line waiting to vote. At 8pm they would not let any more people in line. At one polling place they said they have 2000 registered voters and so far 1600 have voted.
