2. Just got home from voting. No lines.

At my polling place, the Democrats and Independents go to one line and the Republicans go to the other. A lady was standing in the Dem/Ind line when I walked in, and a lady at one table pointed to the lady signing in and said, "Democrats and Independents are here, Republicans at the end of the table." (The right side of the table, of course... )

I got in line behind the lady signing in, and the poll worker sitting at the Republican area said to me, "Republicans are here..." and I shook my head no. She kind of sighed and commented to the other poll workers that she needed something to do. So I told her perhaps she should move down to the other side of the table, as it was cooler down on that end. She nodded in agreement, then we talked about how hot it was outside and how the building A/C hadn't seemed to catch up yet.

So, it seems to me that GOP turn out might not be so hot, at least I hope so, since the lady acted like things had been a little slow in her line today!

Happy voting, Nancy and Mr. Nancy! Hope we get good news tonight.
