I voted early. It took about half an hour. The polling folks were very helpful and careful to make sure that everyone understood the ballot.

I found wral voting thing last night and I had a ball felt like I was voting over. I even voted for Obama on this one, so you folks can't say I didn't vote for the man now.. LOL I voted last week also...to beat the c rowd and glad I did now with the rain out my way today.

Sheba and I voted last Monday in Cary. At 10:00 a.m., the line was moving nicely. But it still took over 45 minutes to get in and out. By the time we left, the line was more than a third again as long. One of the poll workers said it was the heaviest he had seen that early since early voting had begun.

Even with the rain today, I still expect a very large turnout today. And I hope we don't experience a Florida 2000 or Ohio 2006 vote count horror here.

You can blog to your heart's content here on GOLO about all things political. But your only real influence is your vote.

If you haven't voted already, grab your umbrella and GO VOTE!

I voted early, too. In and out in less than 15 minutes...But Vance County is a bit smaller than Wake. I'm really glad I got it done! Like Lolly said...very nice and helpful people.

I had to actually color the circle beside my choices! Haven't done that in years!

I haven't voted yet. Gone 3 times, but the lines were just too long. I plan to go today to our precinct. I hope to vote. I really want to. :-)

After voting in Louisburg this morning, I was off to work and saw young black couple in front of First Citizens Bank standing in the pouring rain holding Obama signs high. I've never seen anything like that on either side.

I voted this morning. 1 hour between the time I left my house and then back home. That was pretty good. One glitch. They gave me my Son's sticker out of the register book instead of my own. I did not notice it until I had walked away from the table. I have also decided to insert a Q or Z in front of my last name. That grouping of letters had no line to get ballots.

Hope the rain slacks off so that it don't discourage anyone. Today is not a day for the lazy weak and/or werry. Get out and VOTE!!!We need your vote.

I voted this morning. I was #37 to vote today. There were no campaign workers standing outside to tell me who to vote for. Filled in circles also.

I voted this morning. My wife was in front of me in line, gave her name and address, and mentioned that I was behind her. When I got to the table, the lady just handed me the papers without my having to say my name or address.

We really need to show proof of who we are before we vote. It's difficult for me to understand why we don't. If we go to the social security administration, DMV, etc, we have to prove who we are. Yet when we vote, the rules are relaxed. It makes no sense.
