Re: Election day plans! Just got back. Waited about an hour and a half. They only had 8 booths which was rather annoying. There were some picketers for Yes and No on Prop Initiative 1. Not really surprising.
They didn't hand out stickers, i'm bummed

Re: Election day plans! I got in line to vote at 9:30am this morning, and finished at 10:05am... a 35 minute wait in line, which is by far the longest I've had to wait in line for a presidential election. Usually it's 10-15 minutes at best. The workers also said they've never seen it like that before.
So, the tunrout is going to be huge here.

Re: Election day plans! So apparently Starbucks and Ben and Jerry's found a loophole and they're now giving away free stuff to EVERYONE (not just to those who voted, lol)

Re: Election day plans! I just voted. I was in and out under 5 minutes. I love my voting site (paper ballots with scantron). I was the 537th person to vote there today.

Re: Election day plans! It sucks I have to go to class tonight. I was shocked that they didn't cancel classes for Election Day. The class is hoping the professor puts a TV on or something. I know he is an Obama supporter so maybe he will cancel class early or something.

Re: Election day plans! Floydboy wrote: I was invited to a Democratic Party get together after work. There are quite a few that I know of. If I manage to get out of work at a decent hour I'll head over there. They're going to have 3 or 4 large screen TVs. I assume we'll be watching CNN español or Univisión. Maybe they'll have one in English ... but I doubt it. Should be a great time.
Everyone here in PR is equally excited for the election. Oh and thankfully I talked to some people here before going to work earlier today because PR has the day off so people can vote in the elections here (governor, senators, etc.) I guess i didn't remember that in 2006 they gave us the day off. And it's not so much a day off as it is nothing is running. They definitely take their politics seriously here.

Re: Election day plans! Had to visit my high school for the first time since graduating there to vote. Creepy feeling. And I'm pissed because I didn't get my sticker. Tonight I plan to sit back, relax, and celebrate a political victory for the first time in 12 years.

That makes me want to cry. So poignant! I think it deserves its own thread.

Re: Election day plans! Back home again after working the polls all day; no big problems. Whenever anyone left without voting I followed them outside to ask why; most were in the wrong precinct or admitted they had not registered. I only sent one person back in for a provisional ballot. So that's encouraging!

Start by describing your physique. Yes. Begin with that, and go from there.  Just got back. Unlike my original plan I wound up voting after school and I got in with about 15 minutes to spare. I think I was the last person to vote at my polling place before they closed. I'm a happy camper. _________________My DVD Collection
