Cast my vote at 0630 in Prescott, AZ, and was given a salute by a man man driving by and a woman thanking me for my service to our country as I stood by my truck to hand out Republican voting guides; 75 feet away, of course. Now need to take a neighbor to the polls. I think things look good.

All our votes are by absentee, out of the 8 voters only 2 went to Kerry, my bro & SIL are the traitors in the family. MIL who is devout Catholic and Democrat said she couldn't sell her soul to the Devil (Kerry), WOO HOO!!

Just voted here in Nebraska. Talked with the poll worker a little. They had about 187 votes already, and were amazed at the turnout. They mentioned that there were primaries where they were begging for those kinds of numbers for the entire day! Two precincts vote at my polling place, and the poll worker said that they had comprable numbers at the other one as well.

Not one person under 25 to be seen. The polling inspector was all over though, keeping tabs on the discussions being held, etc. The only intimidating that will go on at that polling place will be toward people trying to break the rules!

So far, so good I think. I wonder how many people are turning out here that normally would have stayed at home, taking it for granted that it would go one way or the other? Looks like quite a few from my vantage point.

Good job Swiftees!

7:30am - long lines - surrounded by moonbats - tempers already flaring -because the folks running the show set it up in such a way as to create one big line (last names from a-l) and one extremely short line (last names m-z).

Didn't see a lot of these "college kids." Saw some nuns. Mostly middle aged men and women.

Pulled the lever for Bush and it felt gooooooooooood!!!!

My wife went down to vote about 20 minutes after me (we live in a highrise and the precinct is in the lobby) and by then the line had disappeared and it took her about 10 minutes. Which is what it normally is.

Lines will probably grow again once people get off work.

I just voted in Manchester NH and the line was longer than usual but it still only took about twenty minutes.

Fox just reported long lines in GA and NC (up to 2 hours...
which is what I just experienced)!

Two points: 1) will tend to scare away the half-hearted.
2) will help W to win the popular vote since GA and NC
are genetically RED states!

Just voted in Tampa Bay......... took less than an hour.The line was huge, but since us floridians are used to Disney lines....It was quick & orderly! Laughing

Two votes for Bush out here on the left coast. My sister and I both voted this morning in Norco, Ca for the President. Took us about 1/2 an hour to vote, mostly because the poor dear in the m-z line was slow and most of us in line were m-z folks. I have a feeling most of the problems and complaints will be in the Democrat controlled counties. Praying for a Bush victory!

From Long Island NY-- I voted early this morning, so did my husband, my sister, her husband, my parents, my OTHER sister and her husband ALL FOR BUSH!!!!! Very Happy

Didn't see ANY young people there yet. I must have gotten lucky because there were only 3 people ahead of me when I got there, but when I got out of the voting booth, long line forming!!!

I voted at 8 am. I was #477. in an hour. wow. high turnout, but they split the lines up (there were 6 of them) so it went fast. I am hearing of record tunrouts from my friends, and AP says the same

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041102/ap_on_el_pr/eln_america_votes

and it is snowing in the texas panhandle!
Up to 7 inches of snow fell in the Texas Panhandle, and Randall County Clerk Sue Bartolino warned voters to be careful on the roads. A winter weather advisory was posted.

that is a strange event.
