Driving Elisabeth to the Benners' this morning, we passed the Catonsville Middle School. Cars lined the street for several blocks, and the line of people stretched far down the sidewalk. I decided to wait until mid-morning before going to the polls, thinking the lines would have diminished. At 10:00 am, cars were stretched up and down the street in front of Westowne Elementary, and the line of people there looked just as long as the line I had seen earlier. It moved quickly, however, and it was only about a half-hour from the time I got on line until I had voted.
One entreprenurial fifth grade class had stategically placed a large table of sweets for sale as a fund raiser for their Philadelphia field trip and even had students pacing up and down the waiting line selling drinks and snacks. Does anyone else think it's odd that Capri Sun sells for $0.50 while water sells for $1.00?
I don't remember the voter turn-out being so high in any other presidential election in which I participated. Are the others finding the same results where you're voting?

This is David i walked over to my polling place and before i could finish listening to "when the sun goes down" by Kenny Chesney i was done voting and on my way back home....easy as pie!
Same experience as David for me... though, I was not listening to Chesney. It also took me a little longer to actually vote, but really no line to speak of.
