(7 posts)-DH & I were in the first 100 voters @ west boca raton..long lines @ 6:45AM.First time I ever saw "security observers " @ poll. I had to ask who they were..Inside..semi smooth voting..until one got to the machines..ballots were being spit back & we had to reinsert a few times before the "official"counter registered the vote. Also, outside, while waiting, a poll worker came along the line & LOUDLY announced that the ballot was on BOTH sides & a SECOND page. Can't we make it simple?
Come ON HILLARY!!

Senate Democrats pulled their last chunk of remaining ad reservations in Florida on Monday night, leaving Rep. Patrick Murphy on his own in his race against Sen. Marco Rubio.
The decision to slash the final remaining week of reservations in Florida by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee came before Monday night's debate between Murphy (D) and Rubio (R), according to a source familiar with party strategy. The party's campaign arm initially reserved $10 million in ads there, but that came before Rubio's reversal on his plans to retire. Senate Majority PAC also pulled $6 million in remaining ads this month after spending about $3 million on the race.
While the DSCC and Senate Majority PAC have been trimming back on ad buys for weeks, their latest move zeroes out their commitment over the last 3 weeks of the election, even as polls show the race tightening. While Murphy hasn't led a public poll since June, Rubio's margin is not overwhelming: He was up just 49-47 in a Quinnipiac poll released on Tuesday.

(7,596 posts)The line was small and most of the people there were elderly. The entire process took maybe 15 minutes.

I vote by mail, it's just easier for me with more time to research candidates and issues.
