Politico says exit polls are "quarantined" until 5pm est, so perhaps this time there won't be any leaks

They're quarantined every election.:lol

Source and more, please.

Some guy in SA's Obama megathread bought it in a Japanese convenience store. Don't know any more than that.

Long Island (Nassau). It was pretty empty at 9:30am, only a dozen people or so. We are lucky to have a local BOCES school within walking distance, somewhat within a development, so very quick and convenient.

Demo pretty much all over the place in terms of age, mostly white. Straight up suburban middle class. Tiny sample though.

My experience was the same thing (in a small Suffolk town). Pretty empty, in and out... mostly older white upper middle class people.

That isn't good.:lol

+1 for Wisconsin!

This isn't totally related to PoliGAF but I just want to throw this out there: you guys are awesome and the Wisconsin accent is one of the greatest things ever to grace this country.

 

[syllogism]

They will be "restricted to the network’s pollsters in a secure room", hey maybe it will work this time.

+1 Big Fuck You to Prop 8

I was struck by the student turnout anecdote.

Those who are wondering if the youth will turn out ought to see what I saw this morning.

One well-known government professor here told me that she has never seen so many students vote in the first hour of voting as she saw this morning. And I've never seen so many students up and alert at this hour. They're normally stumbling out of bed to make it to their 10 a.m. courses. Today, the campus has been buzzing for hours this morning. It appears that many of them decided to go to the polls as groups of twos, threes, fours and more when the polls opened at 7 a.m. The number of students I saw by 8 a.m. walking around with "I voted" stickers on is astonishing.

At breakfast, I sat next to a table of four black students, all of whom had voted. The three men were wearing ties. I asked them why. The answer: It was their first election, and they wanted to mark the occasion.

People from Red counties--- are you noticing a depression at polling centers? I've heard stories from people who voted in traditionally red areas LI and NJ that it's not busy at all.

The more people report, the clearer the picture will be.

Actually it's just the opposite in Sumter county, SC, lines around the school, very republican precinct

 

[Acid08]

They didn't even check ID's at my polling place. Is that weird?

 

[Tamanon]

Yeah, that's a great picture.

Something to keep in mind, although with the education Nate's been doling out on polling, perhaps this needn't be mention, is that exit polls are quarantined for a reason. They're raw data. Raw data != correct data. It still needs to be worked into various models and weighted and have its lipstick put on.

Many states don't.

 

[Ace 8095]

+4 for Obama/Martin in Georgia. Waited in line for 1 hour 20 minutes.

ACORN!!!

 

[Stoney Mason]

It was an ACORN Precinct!

Damn it. beaten.


I've never shown ID in the past when I go vote. I think they are supposed to check in most states but a lot of times they don't.

 

[Fenderputty]

+1 Obama in CA. No on 8 as well.

 

[ultron87]

I feel discriminated for having voted absentee this year. All you people voting at the polls get a nice shiny "I Voted!" sticker to show just how much you love democracy. I get no such thing, and clearly everyone must think I'm a commie.

I demand equal rights for absentee voters!

 

[StrikerObi]

+4 (me, my brother, and my two cousins) for Obama in Florida.

Yes we can! I'm starting to feel the hopium OD coming on.

Also, voted NO on Amend 2. Marry and fuck whoever you want. I don't give a shit.

Amazing article on Politico about what to watch for tonight. Interesting read if nothing else:

We now have less than 12 hours to go before Barack Obama is declared the next POTUS guys!

Not really. Depends on your state's laws.

Hilarious.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Yeah. I think I'm going to be reduced to an emotional blubbering wreak by the end of the day, reading the stories and seeing those kind of pictures.

 

[Barrett2]

Palin voting.

Damn, she's wearing some tight jeans... just sayin'

 

[Dartastic]

Holy shit. Today's the day. I get free coffee at Starbucks! Whoo!!!!! And if there was a Chick-Fil-A around me, I'd get a free sandwich! I also can get a free donut from Krispy Kreme! Woo! Voting is awesome!

I have great early news about voter turnout. As of 10:30 my precinct in Lexington had already seen 40% turnout. We realistically may hit 80% today The gentleman working said he had never seen anything like it in this neighborhood.

 

[Keylime]

!!!!!!

Your outright rejection of my post makes me unruly...but your casual mention of Todd has my loins in a frenzy.
