Presidential Election

[cement]

I voted last week. walked right in, maybe 4 people in line. we have a ton of ballot issues so it might be a mess tomorrow.

lusone: for McCain!

 

[Capt Worley PE]

We've never had to wait in line at our polling place.

I am thinking of taking Wednesday off for two reasons. I'm probably going to be up late Tuesday, and I want to avoid the riots if McCain wins (i drive through some rough neighborhoods on my way in).

The popluation of our town is about 6,000 people. There are like 10 different polling places...I don't think the lines are going to be too bad for us.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

My town has 65,000 people in it and about 15 polling places. It's my first election here so I don't know what to expect. It could be a little messy.

 

[BluSkyy]

my district just got split...new polling place...ought to be interesting.

I think the speed will depend a lot on whatever method your county uses. I had 100+ people in front of me for early voting, and only waited about half an hour. There were 12 or so mini voting booths, everything done with an electronic scroll wheel (iPod style). If you were voting straight party, you could be done in 30 seconds, and no dimpled chads!

Here's another one of those where do you stand on the issues sites that generates the candidate you are most in line with. It was pretty comprehensive and a good way to waste time at work.

I came out as moderately liberal with a slightly left of center view on economics, which seems about right.

As opposed to voting for the :f_115m_e45d7af: party?

You know, voting republican as opposed to voting democrat...

Just a friendly reminder, if you have not already, or cannot (sorry Dleg), go out and vote tomorrow!

Didn't help for me, put me dead center. I'm atill torn on which way to vote, social issues vs $ issues

vote after work, then you don't have to worry about catching trains.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

How late are the polls open in Mass?

I'd rather do it early than late. The Framingham/Worcester line has been having a lot of screwy signal problems lately that have led to trains being 30+ minutes late.

I put much more weight on social issues, but that's just me.
