Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election
I just cast my ballot. It was an experience.
I had to wait in line for 90 minutes. The place was a zoo. Crowded as hell. Even with eight lines, it took a long time.
And when I left, the line outside was even longer than it was when I came in, practically around the block.
Now, given that this is a blue state where it wouldn't really hurt Obama if some Democrats had gotten out and gone home -and I didn't see anyone at all do that - I'm beginning to thing that the GOP's claim of lack of enthusiasm were wishful thinking.
I also heard that there were about 300 people waiting in line at a polling place in Milwaukee when it opened, despite bad weather in Wisconsin.
Voters in Florida waited six hours for polls to open. According to Florida Sec. of State Ken Detzner, a woman broke her leg in an accident outside an Escambia County polling place. It didn't stop her; she was carried inside by her husband to vote.
This is going to a long day... I can tell...
