I would not be surprised if they happen to lose or misplace them though.

I voted early, over a week ago and it was a short line. I feel sorry for those people standing in line for hours, even during early voting.

What I think is so terrible, is the Media..every station you watch, except for Fox News, pushes democrat, and I think that's terrible

I went and voted today. there was no line at all. It was set up for 2 precincts where I went and sadly including myself there was only 3-4 people there to vote. I am glad no lines for myself BUT sad to see so few people out. Maybe it will get busier as people get out of work and such.

What time did you go? We were watching on the news, and they said the best time to go was between 10-12 and 2-4..so, if you went in between those times, maybe that's why it wasn't so busy..My hubby went first thing this morning and had a lot longer wait than I did. I'm sure there are a lot of them that have to vote yet..

My husband and I voted last week here in Florida. I've never seen such an election. I won't say who we are for but we did participate in a march and volunteered for some other things. When we wore T-Shirts with our candidates names on them and went to lunch, we had lots of people coming up to us saying in a whisper..."Oh I hope they win!" It's a shame that people are so afraid that they have to whisper.

That is reported to have happened before. Several were lost or misdirected in the mail. Some went to other countries, a family in England was on the news with a soldiers ballot that came to their home. Needless to say they were not counted.

Roxanne_mi · 11-04-2008, 01:36 PM

It was around 11:30 so in the times that you mentioned so hopefully that is just the cause. I do know there are many in this area that are extremely active for one of the people running, so that was why I was rather shocked to see so few people there.

An anchor woman on Fox had a slip of the tongue this morning when she asked what someone thought Obama's first comments were going to be after he was elected president. Then she corrected herself and said IF he is elected president. I didn't think McCain got anywhere near the attention Obama got. Anyway that's why you have to do your own homework on both candidates before you vote.

hviola · 11-04-2008, 02:25 PM

ralphier · 11-04-2008, 02:27 PM

Too funny!

We voted this morning. It took about 25 minutes of waiting in line, which I do not think was too long.
