The casing of my voting machine was a very pleasing shade of light blue. The punch-pin felt a little foamy in my hands, which immediately put me at ease with my polling sites rather outdated pseudo-butterfly ballot system, which has been in use as long as I've been voting. It's pseudo-butterfly because it's setup like a butterfly ballot except they're smart enough to only put choices along one side of the ballot.

5 minutes. I'd rather have not voted at all, though.

Shouldn't this thread be closed? All Election-related posts in the stickied thread, right iapetus? You closed Doth Togo's thread, close this one.

About 45 minutes (Utah). Slow line, slow processing (damn ledger books and punch cards).

someone please pm me those results.
my grandma wants them, she voted for the first time since the kennedy administration today.

It's always a bit of a thrill to see "President of the United States of America" on the ballot. Voted for Al Wynn and Mikulski, voted against all the ballot initiatives. I felt a little rush back in the primaries too, and that had freaking LaRouche on the ballot. Hey, the Constitution candidate is from Maryland?
Didn't vote for judges or school board because I wasn't informed, which I feel bad about. I've met the superintendent and he seems like a good manager, but all his eggs are in the standardized testing basket, and it would be nice to have a check on him in the council.

Hater.
I think this one is different because it isn't discussing the issues it is just asking how long people were standing in line.

Same here. I also didn't vote when the people went unopposed. I was like what's the point.

Well one problem is there are hundreds of polls out there and hundreds of "exits" polls that we are going to see today.... just TMI
I'm curious do most folks here vote for all of the proposed legislation and people on the ballots or do you folks only vote for what you're actually aware of, have paid attention to?

Time for exciting story!
I thought there'd be a pen or pencil for write-ins, but there wasn't. So I asked to borrow a pen from a poll worker. He said his pen had never been used for a write-in before, and he'd have to frame it.
OK, not so exciting.

Early Returns?
Wonkette has posted some early numbers. It's not clear at all who they're from or what they represent (she says "a little birdie tells us", and that's all).
Do NOT rely on this numbers. They are unreliable rumor and speculation. Even if they are real exit poll numbers they are unreliable rumor and speculation. Do NOT rely on them for anything. If you live in Pennsylvania you had better vote.
You don't know who put these numbers out. They could be from Karl Rove himself.
But here they are:
Code:
State Kerry Bush
AZ 45 55
CO 48 51
LA 42 57
MI 51 48
WI 52 48
PA 60 40
OH 52 48
FL 51 48
MICH 51 47
NM 50 48
MINN 58 40
WISC 52 43
IOWA 49 49

About ten minutes.
dem: This topic has been around for a week. The point was for ALL election-related discussion to go here (to spare the non-political posters a flood of topics), but people kept posting new threads. Yeah, an election thread with no real discussion until the actual election is going to turn into a pollfest. But going by what people managed to post outside of this, there is a LOT to discuss other than Gallup and Zogby.
Yeah, I have to agree with you guys. It's the final day and discussion of poll results should be considered legitimate forum fodder. So long as things stay civil and the discussion doesn't devolve into "OMG BUSH DROPPED 12% IN NH, REPUBLICANS DOOMED HAHA"-style bullshit, go ahead and post your polls, with appropriate commentary.
We will be watching and moderating this thread carefully. Let's keep it on the up and up - don't let me down, GAF.
Carry on.

has anyone ever been exit polled? I've voted at college in past years and now have voted here at my home and well...I've never even seen an exit poller. Kinda makes me wonder how accurate it is if they are only polling certain precints.
