Garrett (election official from Williamsburg, VA) said she hoped 75 percent of registered voters would turn out.

I heard on the news this morning that nationwide, the prediction was for 56% voter turnout, as opposed to 51% 4 years ago.


That's pretty damn pathetic.

Got to Town Creek Elementary at 0910 and there were about 40 people in line total. There were 7 machines and it went very smooth. I was out of there by 0925. Not too many pollers (2 tables with about 4 Democrats and only 1 Republican, but she was handing out free stickers ) I counted how many folks were below the age of 30 and there were 3.

I already posted this earlier this morning, but some jackazz stole my "Bush Cheney '04" sign out of my yard yesterday..It really pizzed me off...Made a really tacky spray paint on plywood sign to replace it though.

Actually when I got to my voting location in St. Mary's last night, I had a 30 minute wait in line, and while waiting talked to the Women's League of Voters. They said voter turn out at that time was 69.5% for the county and the voting had not stopped since they opened the doors and were looking at (with an hour to go) a possible 80% voter turn out if the flow kept up. They said last presidential election the county had under 51% voter turn out. Pretty impressive.

That really IS impressive!

I went to GMHS, was done voting in about ten minutes and even changed my address and party affiliation, I decided I was tired of getting all the democratic junkmail in my box, and I am talking about loads and loads!!! Hopefully the GREENS will choose to send me emails and recycled paper instead of cutting down more trees just to get their message out.
